Jupiter Exalts in Cancer – Explained with the Light of Vedic Astrology

Jupiter exalts in Cancer – more or less every astrology enthusiast knows about it. But, have you ever thought why Jupiter exalts in Cancer despite its signs – Sagittarius and Pisces? Sounds interesting but don’t know the reasons behind it? Let’s learn from the best astrologer in South Kolkata, Astrologer SK Abid the reasons behind Jupiter’s exaltation under the loupe of Vedic Astrology.

Understand What Jupiter Is…..

Jupiter is Jeeva. Jupiter is a free spirit and prefers to work with full freedom. Jupiter cannot resist restrictions on its way to thrive. It cannot follow any routine or any hard and fast rule. That is why Jupiter debilitates in Capricorn, the sign of discipline, hard work, and boundaries. But, don’t ever compare Jupiter with Rahu. Rahu does not follow any rules and has no moral values. But, Jupiter denotes morality, sanity, knowledge, higher wisdom, and spirituality. It rules the 9th house (Dharma), and the 12th house (Moksha) in Kalpurush Kundali. However, it exalts in the sign of Cancer. Let’s understand why…..

Why Jupiter Exalts in Cancer?

If you consider Jupiter as a human and Cancer as a home, Jupiter feels at home in Cancer. The mission of Jupiter is to help people expand and grow bigger and better. Cancer is the sign of masses, emotion, care, happiness, and nurturing, and Jupiter, the Guru loves these features and closely resembles them. In a nutshell, the things Jupiter loves to have to help others grow and prosper are available in the sign of Cancer, the Cardinal Water sign.

  • Jupiter provides enlightenment followed by happiness and peace of mind. According to planet Jupiter, emotional happiness opens up the way to self-realization, and self-realization is the path to self-growth and exponential expansion. Jupiter feels extreme happiness when it reaches Cancer, the first sign of Moksha Trikona and it promotes emotional happiness for the natives who have Jupiter in Cancer or Jupiter with Moon.
  • The water signs provide great resources to Jupiter to illustrate and reflect its actual qualities that other signs (Fire, Air, or Earth) cannot. Water elements promote reflective characteristics and encourage the process of self-knowing lucidly and intuitively.

Why Only Cancer? Why Not Scorpio or Pisces?

The question may hit your mind why Jupiter chooses only Cancer to exalt while Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces – all these three are water signs. To understand the answer to your question, you need to think beyond the element of signs and go after the modes of water signs.

  • Cancer is a Cardinal Water Sign, Scorpio is a Fixed Water Sign, and Pisces is a Dual Water Sign. Cardinal mode helps Jupiter to expand its qualities beyond any limitations with a continuous flow. The fixed mode makes things stagnant and solid, and the reason why Scorpian energy does not suit the free spirit of Jupiter and hinders the mission of Jupiter. To some extent, Scorpio is a good sign for Jupiter but not the place for exaltation. Pisces is a water sign of duality and it provides doors to possibilities. However, Cancer is the best as it does not showcase possibilities but it fosters immediate outcomes beyond possibilities.

To Top It Off, 

Jupiter finds all the resources to complete its mission in the cardinal sign of Cancer. From emotional well-being to freedom of expansion – Cancer provides all that Jupiter, the Jeeva requires to thrive and win.
