Planetary transits keep happening all the time but the year 2025 stands out as particularly eventful, featuring five major planetary transits.
Jupiter, the Deva Guru and a planet of ethics, expansion, piety and enlightenment changes signs twice—into Gemini in May, and then into Cancer on 18th October and then re-enters Gemini in retrograde motion on 11th November 2025.
The other notable transits of 2025 are of Saturn’s move into Pisces on 29th March, and Rahu entering Aquarius and Ketu moving into Leo, both in May 2025.
Our esteemed astrologer Anand Sagar Pathak offers a detailed astrological perspective on Jupiter’s transit into Cancer. This transit is especially notable as Jupiter becomes exalted in Cancer, a placement traditionally regarded as powerful and auspicious in Vedic Astrology.
Interestingly, Jupiter’s initial stay in Cancer will be brief—just about 48 days, before it retrogrades back into Gemini on 5th December 2025. It will return to Cancer on 2nd June 2026, and due to its retrograde motion, this forward-backward movement will continue until Jupiter finally exits Cancer and enters Leo in June 2027.

4. Considering the Aspects of Jupiter from the 4th House :
Jupiter has 5th, 7th and 9th aspect in Vedic Astrology. So, suring this transit – Jupiter does the following aspects :
Jupiter is a functional malefic for Taurus as it rules the Eighth and Eleventh Houses. These govern transformation, obstacles, and gains, and can create both sudden opportunities and hidden challenges. Jupiter shares a rather complex relationship with Venus, the sign lord of Taurus. Venus considers Jupiter Neutral but Jupiter considers Venus, an enemy planet.
In this transit, Jupiter moves into Taurus’s Third House, which governs communication, courage, efforts, and relationships with siblings. This placement boosts assertiveness, networking skills, and personal initiatives. One should know that Third house is considered an upchaya ( उपचय ) house and it means that more the efforts, better the results. Jupiter is the planet for expansion and therefore exalted Jupiter in 3rd house would ensure enhanced results with passing ot time and increase of efforts.
Jupiter aspects the Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Houses, supporting partnerships, higher learning, and financial gains. With conscious effort, Taurus natives can channel this transit into constructive progress across multiple areas.
For Gemini, Jupiter is considered a functional malefic as it rules the Seventh and Tenth Houses. These are Kendras and can yield neutral to mixed outcomes. Seventh house lord is considered a Maarak ( मारक ) planet in Vedic Astrology. Tenth house is the house of career, professional recognition, relationship with superiors and State and thus Jupiter holds very strong importance for Gemini natives.
Jupiter considers Mercury, the planetary lord of Gemini sign – an enemy but Mercury considers Jupiter a neutral planet.
During this transit, Jupiter moves into Gemini’s Second House, which relates to wealth, speech, family values, and accumulated resources. This placement strengthens financial planning, value systems, and familial interactions.
Jupiter aspects the Sixth, Eighth, and Tenth Houses, affecting health, transformation, and career development. Gemini natives may experience steady financial improvements along with changes in professional and personal responsibilities.
Jupiter rules the Sixth and Ninth Houses for Cancer. While the Ninth is auspicious, the Sixth can bring debts and competition, making Jupiter’s role dual. Jupiter shares a friendly relationship with the Moon, Cancer sign’s planetary lord. Infact Jupiter gets exalted in sign of Moon.
With Jupiter transiting Cancer’s First House, personal development, visibility, and physical vitality increase. The First house also known as Lagna is the main pillor of the birth chart and Jupiter in Lagna fortifies the physical aspects of the being.
It aspects the Fifth, Seventh, and Ninth Houses, enhancing learning, relationships, and spiritual growth. This is a powerful time for inner and outer development. All these house are extremely important in the chart and in this sense, Cancer natives are perhaps the most fortunate of all signs as far as beneficial aspects of transiting Jupiter in Cancer are concerned.
Jupiter governs the Fifth and Eighth Houses, making it a mixed but generally beneficial planet for Leo. It has a friendly natural relationship with the Sun, Leo’s lord.
Jupiter will transit Leo’s Twelfth House, bringing themes of endings, spiritual elevation, and foreign connections.
Its aspects on the Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Houses influence emotional health, daily routines, and hidden areas. This is a deeply reflective phase with potential for healing and release.
One noteworthy thing about Leo sign is that Leo natives are having Ashtam Shani ( a difficult Saturn Transit that is caused by Saturn transiting in 8th house) and now Jupiter enters 12th sign which is yet another difficult house. However Jupiter now will be casting 9th aspect on Saturn and that will provide some protection and blessings to most Leo natives.
For Virgo, Jupiter is functionally malefic due to its ownership of the Fourth and Seventh Houses. Its relationship with Mercury, Virgo’s lord, is neutral.
Jupiter transits Virgo’s Eleventh House, which governs gains, aspirations, elder siblings, and social networks. This is a favourable placement for financial growth, support from friends, and fulfilling long-term desires.
Jupiter’s aspects on the Third, Fifth, and Seventh Houses enhance communication, creative pursuits, and relationship harmony. With consistent effort, Virgo natives can experience tangible rewards, particularly in career, learning, and partnerships.
Amongst all signs, Virgo natives perhaps tend to gain the most out of this Jupiter’s transit into Cancer.
Jupiter is a functional malefic for Libra, ruling the Third and Sixth Houses. Although Jupiter is naturally friendly with Venus, the lord of Libra, its ownership of challenging houses limits its benefic impact for Libra natives.
During this transit, Jupiter enters Libra’s Tenth House, which governs career, public image, and responsibilities. This placement enhances ambition, visibility, and professional recognition. Jupiter’s aspects on the Second, Fourth, and Sixth Houses bring focus to wealth management, domestic harmony, and health routines. With mindful planning, Libra natives can use this transit to stabilise their careers and strengthen their personal foundations.
Jupiter is a functional benefic for Scorpio, owning the Second and Fifth Houses. Its relationship with Mars, Scorpio’s lord, is generally positive.
Jupiter’s transit to Scorpio’s Ninth House supports dharma, higher education, and fortune. It aspects the First, Third, and Fifth Houses, enhancing self-confidence, courage, and learning. A phase rich with growth, teaching, and self-expression.
As the Ascendant lord, Jupiter is highly benefic for Sagittarius. It governs the First and Fourth Houses, blending personal growth with emotional depth.
With Jupiter transiting the Eighth House, deep psychological changes, spiritual awakening, and inheritance-related matters may surface. Aspects to the Twelfth, Second, and Fourth Houses bring introspection, family rebalancing, and emotional healing.
Jupiter is neutral for Capricorn, ruling the Third and Twelfth Houses. It shares a neutral-to-friendly bond with Saturn, Capricorn’s lord.
Jupiter transits Capricorn’s Seventh House, influencing partnerships and public life. Its aspects on the First, Ninth, and Eleventh Houses support self-awareness, fortune, and gains through collaboration. Relationships evolve, and social or financial networks strengthen.
Jupiter is a functional malefic for Aquarius as it rules the Second and Eleventh Houses. Its bond with Saturn, Aquarius’s lord, is neutral.
Jupiter moves into the Sixth House, highlighting health, service, and overcoming enemies. Aspects to the Tenth, Twelfth, and Second Houses offer growth through career responsibilities, spiritual discipline, and financial restructuring. A karmic phase to balance debts and efforts.
Jupiter is the Ascendant lord and highly benefic for Pisces, governing the First and Tenth Houses. It supports identity, purpose, and profession.
