From the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris; retrograde returns count as one stay. Swiss Ephemeris agrees: median under a minute, largest 1.9 minutes where the planet barely moves. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Jupiter governs expansion and belief — where you grow and overreach. In Cancer, that function takes on protection, memory and deep attachment — a Cardinal Water expression ruled by the Moon.

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer: +4 in the classical table, a sign where tradition says it works almost as well as at home.

In practice

What it looks like in a person

Growth comes through family, home and emotional generosity. The person is protective and nurturing on a large scale, often looking after extended family, friends or a community, and finds meaning in belonging. Home tends to be welcoming and full. Jupiter is traditionally exalted in Cancer, where generosity is read as care rather than excess.

From the outside

What other people notice first

Others notice hospitality and warmth — an open door, a full table, a person who takes people in. People often feel instantly at home around them, and they tend to remember everyone's family news.

Jupiter in Cancer in love

Warm and caring; builds a welcoming home and is deeply devoted to family life.

At work

Good in care, hospitality, property, food, education and family businesses. They are often trusted with the wellbeing of others and grow into roles where looking after people is central.

Under pressure

When things go badly

Under strain the person overprotects. Smothering, living in the past and emotional overeating are the usual risks.

Commonly overstated

What Jupiter in Cancer does not mean

It does not mean clinging. Generosity with care is its traditional strength.

The work

What this placement asks of you

Letting go of the past when it limits growth, and letting others grow up.

Where it plays out

The house decides that, and the house needs a birth time.
