What Jupiter in Cancer changes for everyone
Jupiter transits by expanding: it opens, enlarges, gives confidence and opportunities. This is the transit of luck, provided you say yes and don’t grab everything. What this transit asks: letting yourself grow, taking up space, putting yourself out there more.
The risk: excess: promising too much, spending too much, thinking you’re immune to consequences. The gift: a concrete opening, a useful encounter, a surge of self-belief.
Jupiter takes twelve years to circle the zodiac: this transit returns every twelve years, and under one aspect or another roughly every three.
