Mark your calendars, place your bets, grease your palms, blink open that third eye, and ready your wishes, my babies — fortune awaits us this week.

On June 24 at 11:16 a.m. ET, we will experience a once-a-year Jupiter conjunction, also known as a cazimi.

In astrology, a conjunction is akin to a mouth kiss between two planets or points in the solar system. A brief union of spit and spirit, if you will

A step above and noticeably hotter, cazimi derives from the Arabic term kaṣmīmī, translating to “as if in the heart.” In astrology, a cazimi happens when a planet is extremely close to or perfectly aligned with the sun, positioned right at its intense center.

Sun conjunct Jupiter

Referred to as the “Day of Miracles,” a Jupiter cazimi takes place when Jupiter, the planet representing joy, fortune, wealth, boundless potential, laughter, wisdom, and metaphorical diamonds underfoot, is less than one degree away from the sun.

A cazimi acts like a solar booster or purifier, where a planet’s natural energy is intensified and magnified due to its closeness to the sun’s dramatic influence.

On Tuesday, the planet of growth, optimism, and abundance is getting a solar tongue kiss at 3º Cancer — the first Jupiter Cazimi in this sign since 2013!

Jupiter cazimi in Cancer

On an emotional level, the intimate joining of the sun (self) and Jupiter (buoyancy) expands our dreams and desires and our ability to believe we deserve them.

What makes this Jupiter cazimi particularly shiny is that the planet is exalted in the sign of Cancer, meaning it can purposefully and gainfully express its powers.

Cancer is the sign of nourishment, caretaking, maternal archetypes, human touch, fortified foundations, and healing in all its earthly and ethereal forms.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, our pockmarked night mirror of intuition, instinct, and emotional interiority.

This cazimi kicks off a fresh start and a new cycle of home-related endeavors, finding new depths through and in our closest relationships and anchoring ourselves in an emotional authority that says we not only deserve but are divinely designed to feel safe and provide a feeling of safety to others.

The energy here is ‘what can be dreamed can be received,’ sharing is caring, and alone or together, we are already home.

Time to get high on the breast milk of miracles, the sanctity of safety, and the talking cure of community, my dudes.

Build a Jupiter altar

For those interested in building a Jupiter altar to welcome all the good that’s bound to come flooding in, choose a small table or portion of your counter and decorate it in Jupiterian colors, royal blue, white and yellow.

Jupiter’s number is four, so make your offerings in multiples of four.

Consider creating a money bowl and/ or placing fruit, symbolic of the seed of possibility becoming the bounty of reality, on your altar.

Jupiter also loves tin and gold, so bring your metals. The planet of plenty always opts for the top shelf, reminding us of our own worthiness — so offer a bottle of the best stuff you can afford.

Carpe that proverbial diem, my babies, because we won’t get this lucky again until July 29, 2026.
