Jupiter in the signs - Cancer

Jupiter in Cancer is exalted, so he feels most comfortable here. In the sign of the Moon, Jupiter makes for a born optimist even during the tough times. Jupiter with his expansive qualities in Cancer is emotionally generous and this is also great placement for the physical manifestation of that, i.e. the expansion of land and the possession of large properties as the Moon rules the astrological 4^th house! Now, don’t think estate agent straight away, this is Mars or maybe Mercury in Cancer. Jupiter in Cancer just believes in an optimistic and vast basic attitude, cultural and territorial expansion and a strong sense of morality.

Jupiter rules faraway lands and Cancer rules the home, so this Jupiter can also live abroad for a long time or even emigrate for good. Nevertheless, despite his globally minded and expansive nature, this Jupiter is still very much rooted in its own culture.

Jupiter in Cancer is very personal and protective of his family which does not even need to include just blood relatives but can also include his spiritual family. Abstract and topics that are too intellectual are not something that warms the heart of a Cancer-Jupiter, instead, he needs to be touched emotionally to trust, believe and have faith. Jupiter also sometimes goes overboard so the need to protect, nurture and care can sometimes be too much to bear for other people.

Jupiter himself is very honest and in Cancer, he expects nothing less but honest, emotional interaction. In traditional astrology, Jupiter also rules the 12^th house, so he will know intuitively when someone is not honest with their feelings towards him or even others.
