Jupiter in the signs
Jupiter in Cancer
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer: growth comes through care, belonging and the home. Faith is in family and in the goodness of being looked after; luck arrives through kindness given and returned. Generosity is nurturing. The excess is overprotection and comfort eating, literal and otherwise. The work is to extend the family beyond the front door.
