Jupiter in Cancer & the Strawberry Full Moon: A Season of Soulful Expansion
As we step into June, the cosmos opens a powerful new chapter — one that’s ripe with meaning, memory, and magic. On June 9th, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, wisdom, and opportunity, leaves quick-thinking Gemini and enters the deep, feeling waters of Cancer, where it will remain for just over a year.
This is one of the most emotionally significant transits of 2025. Jupiter in Cancer draws our gaze inward — to the heart, to home, to where we feel nourished and safe. It’s a time for cultivating emotional abundance, soulful connection, and a return to what truly matters.
What Does Jupiter in Cancer Bring?
Jupiter hasn’t been here since 2013–2014, so if you look back to that time, you may notice echoes — themes of home, family, emotional healing, or spiritual growth that are now asking to be revisited… but this time, with deeper maturity and insight.
Cancer is the sign of the nurturer, the healer, the intuitive guide. Jupiter, when aligned with Cancer’s maternal and intuitive energy, offers us a chance to:
- Expand our inner sense of safety and self-compassion
- Deepen bonds with those we call family (chosen or biological)
- Build a life rooted in emotional truth rather than outward performance
- Heal ancestral or inner child wounds with spiritual courage and gentleness
This isn’t loud, performative growth. It’s quiet, heartfelt, and immensely powerful.
The Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius
…Ruled by Jupiter, and glowing with bold clarity
Just before Jupiter makes its shift, we’re graced with the radiant Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius — peaking under the night sky with a call to truth and adventure.
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so this Full Moon and the transit are cosmically linked, amplifying themes of:
- Speaking our truth
- Reconnecting to our wild spirit
- Breaking free from limitations and old stories
- Doing something new and courageous — even if it’s just a shift in mindset
This Full Moon awakens communication, attitude, and a sense of adventure, and it is so important that we express our emotions rather than sitting on our feelings..
The intensity of the cosmic energy may stir up long-held beliefs, desires, or truths — all asking to be aired, heard, or acted upon.
How to work with these energies:
This potent combination of Jupiter entering Cancer and the Sagittarius Full Moon invites a beautiful fusion of head and heart, curiosity and care.
Here are some soulful ways to ride this wave:
Reflect:
- Look back to 2013/14 — what was shifting for you around home, family, healing, or emotional truth?
- What new adventures of the heart do you feel ready to embark on now?
Move your body:
Try something new that connects both mind and body. For example, if you’re local, our upcoming Full Moon Soundbath on 10th June is the perfect chance to experience this — for the first time in this format, we’re combining gentle Tai Chi style movement to music and breath, followed by a deeply nourishing sound journey.
This short movement practice is flowing, breath-led, suitable for everyone, and is designed to:
- Soothe and quieten the mind
- Strengthen your energetic core
- Open the body to receive deeper healing
Express yourself:
Let this Full Moon help you release what you’ve outgrown. Journal, speak your truth, dance, cry, create. This is the time to clear inner space — so Jupiter can fill it with meaningful blessings.
Final Thoughts…
The Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius is bold and sweet. Jupiter in Cancer is soft and strong. Expansion is calling in abundance in a powerful way
This next cycle is asking us to live more truthfully, to feel more deeply, and to nurture the life we actually want — not the one we inherited or were conditioned into.
It’s time to open wide.
To speak up.
To soften down.
And to follow the compass of the heart — wherever it leads.
With love – Penny xx
