Jupiter's 2026 movement begins with a protective, emotionally anchored phase and then becomes more visible, expressive, and confidence-building after the mid-year sign change. Jupiter generally expands what it touches, but the quality of growth depends on whether you are acting with wisdom, generosity, and strong judgment. Use the year to build something worthwhile, not merely something bigger.
