The two glorious givers of good in astrology meet up for their yearly opulent dinner date; you know, the kind where two friends who haven’t seen each other all year order expensive wine and do bumps of caviar off of the back of the hand, loudly cackling about everything under the sun and filling the restaurant with their joy.
On June 9, Venus and Jupiter embrace in the sign of Cancer for the last time in 12 years. Thankfully, this meeting of the benefic planets is one of the delights of 2026 and sadly, the last meeting of the two goodly ones until next year. Blue skies and cleansing gentle waters rule the skies from June 9 until Venus moves into Leo on June 14. Jupiter is strong in the lunar waters of Cancer. Jupiter and Cancer help find the best of themselves in each other. The life-giving waters of creation expand into abundance and birth reality, or so the Ancient Egyptians believe, and we can reflect on where our lives have expanded to hold the abundance of Jupiter in Cancer. Venus finds flow in the shining silver moon realm because Venus is all about connection, and what is more connecting than care, family (chosen, blood, both), and clean water?
We have five glorious days of conjunction to be with our beloveds, to eat amazing food, cry with joy at the beauty of the world and take deep care of our bodies. Cancer is not a sign of intellectualizing their emotions, so this is a time to deeply feel and alchemize emotions in our bodies into wisdom, grace and compassion.
We are blessed with a true respite in the rough storms of 2026’s astrology with the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. Good news! Saturn in Aries can’t get his sharp hooves on the lovely duo this time! He’s too busy chasing Mercury around. Other than a few hours of crunchy square energy from the moon in Aries on the afternoon of June 10, this transit is beautifully supported by Mars and Mercury. Mars in Taurus helps us ground abundance into our realities with pragmatic strategies of giving and receiving. Mercury in Cancer begins their months-long conversation with Saturn in Aries, which can result in delays and disappointments. Do not be discouraged! The conversation between Saturn and Mercury is something to be mindful of; what comes up now will likely echo during the Mercury retrograde that begins at the end of June and lasts through most of July.
If frustrations or longings come up during the Venus Jupiter conjunction, sooth yourself with dancing and cool water on your skin, and promises to yourself of a treat that you intend to keep. Jupiter is Big Daddy Giver and sometimes asks us where we receive the care we freely give to others? Who takes care of the caregiver? A lovely homage to Jupiter and Venus during this transit would be to actively cultivate care for those who are always giving in your life. Cancer is rhythmic and tidal so it would be wise to give abundantly to those caregivers in your life, especially if you notice they tend to get ignored or taken advantage of. These noticings and reflections about care, giving and receiving could echo through the Mercury Retrograde. But most of all, during the Venus Jupiter conjunction, have some fun! Get out in the water, in the sun, wear your heart on your sleeve, and let the world love you.
