As this year draws to a close, the stars point to major shifts and surprising windfalls in 2026.
Much of this luck will be owed to the movements of planet Jupiter.
In astrology, Jupiter is the bearer of blessings, fortune, favor and excess. Also known as “the Great Benefic,” the planet comes through with a Midas touch, bringing us opportunities for growth, joy and wealth in all their myriad forms.
“The year 2026 will bring significant change due to some major cosmic events. Jupiter, the planet of growth, luck and expansion, will be in Cancer until June 30, before entering Leo, opening two powerful luck cycles,” Ashley Boyd, astrologer at Gamblizard, told The Post.
“This is a major event that will bring transformation in terms of money, career opportunities, relationships and long-term security.”
While we’ll all get blessings of a particular variety from these transits, four signs stand to gain the greatest benefits from the astrological energy of 2026.
Financial growth
For Geminis, Jupiter’s tenure in Cancer activates their second house of wealth and worth, value and valuables.
Boyd promises this transit will lead to greater financial stability, courtesy of salary increases and sound investments.
“It’s time to get paid what you’re worth, apply for jobs with higher salaries, and participate in projects that have both financial and emotional benefits,” said Boyd.
Further, Geminis will be able to rectify spending habits that previously left them with empty pockets and excessive anxiety.
New beginnings and fresh luck
Jupiter is in Cancer for the first half of the year, sitting potent and pretty in your first house of the self, lending you an ordained-for-greatness vibe.
“The stars provide Cancers with enhanced motivation and better timing for all their actions. The upcoming year offers excellent opportunities for self-improvement,” said Boyd.
Jupiter is about the trajectory of onward, upward, and the best is yet to come, helping crabs shake loose any stagnancy in their lives.
“Say yes to opportunities even if they feel slightly outside your comfort zone. The initial step you take toward your goals receives the support of the zodiac’s resident luck dealer. Consider also journaling or establishing monthly objectives to enhance Jupiter’s effect.”
Career breakthroughs
Boyd shared that Jupiter in Cancer will rain down the good good on Libra’s tenth hour of career and legacy, making their ambitions into actualities.
“Libras will receive more attention at work,” said Boyd.
She notes that increased visibility will translate to greater recognition and the opportunity to grow into a leadership role.
Remember, folks, preparedness makes you ready, and charm makes you irrefutable.
“Promote yourself professionally. Update your CV, LinkedIn profile and portfolio. Reach out to trusted contacts and provide a warm introduction or conversation about your skills and experience, as this is likely to open new opportunities for you in the upcoming year.”
Love, joy and creativity
Jupiter in Cancer highlights your fifth house of pleasure, play, creative expression and romantic entanglements, Pisces.
“This transit brings better relationships and makes dating more straightforward and enjoyable. The creative energy of Cancer will intensify your ability to connect to creative pursuits that bring you happiness,” said Boyd.
She encourages fish folk to make space for joy and remain open to social activities of every kind.
“People who choose to embrace enjoyment in their lives will find themselves surrounded by new chances and encouraging individuals.”
