Which house of your chart does Jupiter in Virgo enter?
Enter your date, time and place of birth: find out where Jupiter sits in your birth chart, and the area of your life it's coming to expand.
On Monday, July 26, 2027, at 12:49 a.m. ET, Jupiter leaves Leo and enters Virgo, for a little over a year. The planet of luck changes its style: less glitter, more method.
Here's what this transit changes, which signs benefit the most, and what Jupiter says about your birth chart. 🍀
Enters Virgo
07/26/2027 (12:49 a.m. ET)
Leaves
08/24/2028, enters Libra
Retrograde
01/12/2028 to 05/13/2028, without leaving Virgo
Highlight of 2027
square to Uranus on 09/10/2027
Signs that benefit most
Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer
Signs shaken up
Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces
✦
Jupiter takes about twelve years to travel around the zodiac, so roughly one year per sign. It arrived in Leo in the summer of 2026, and it leaves on a Monday in July 2027 to settle in Virgo until August 24, 2028. Thirteen months, then: enough time to watch what you plant this summer actually grow.
One special feature of this transit: Jupiter backs up for four months in early 2028, but it never returns to Leo. Its whole retrograde plays out in Virgo, which gives you a second chance to review anything launched too fast. The last time Jupiter crossed Virgo was from August 2015 to September 2016. Think back: what did you put in order back then? The cycle is knocking at your door again.
✦
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and confidence. Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury: details, work well done, health, service. Tradition says Jupiter is in detriment here, opposite Pisces, a sign it rules. Don't panic: detriment doesn't take the luck away, it just asks it to go through practical things. Here, you don't win the lottery, you win in efficiency.
“Jupiter's luck in Virgo fits into a well-made list.”
The tone of 2027 is studious, but generous. In late August, Jupiter gets visits from Mercury, Venus and then the Sun, and the New Moon of August 31 forms right next to it. On September 10, the square to Uranus shakes up plans that are too rigid. Then comes the backward phase of 2028: our page on Jupiter retrograde explains what it changes. Here are the planets setting the tone for summer and fall 2027.
♃ Jupiter
Virgo, 0°, enters on 7/26
→ Luck goes through method
☉ Sun
Virgo, conjunct Jupiter on 8/31
→ A fresh, well-organized start
♀ Venus
Virgo, conjunct Jupiter on 8/25
→ Love and money smile
♅ Uranus
Gemini, square Jupiter on 9/10
→ A surprise forces adjustments
♂ Mars
Scorpio, sextile Jupiter on 9/19
→ Energy finally follows the plan
The first three fall in 2027, the last three in 2028. Times are given in Eastern Time.
✦
Everyone gets a share, but five signs are better served. Virgo first, which hosts Jupiter, then the other two earth signs, Capricorn and Taurus, in trine, and two water signs, Scorpio and Cancer, in sextile. For each Sun sign, Jupiter moves through a different house during the whole transit. You'll feel it more if your rising sign is one of these signs: calculate your rising sign to find out.
♈ Aries House 6
Jupiter moves through your 6th house: work, daily life, health. Time for good routines, and go easy on excess: Jupiter makes bad habits bigger too.
♉ Taurus House 5
In trine to your sign, Jupiter lights up your 5th house: love, pleasure, creativity. It applauds every effort you make, and your chances of success clearly rise.
♊ Gemini House 4
In square to your sign, Jupiter settles into your 4th house: home, family, roots. A cozy nest of family joys, as long as you accept that plans will shift.
♋ Cancer House 3
In sextile to your sign, Jupiter joins your 3rd house: conversations, learning, the people around you. It gives you your drive back, and September looks bright.
♌ Leo House 2
Jupiter leaves your sign for your 2nd house: money, values, self-confidence. After the big show, you consolidate, and a new path may open up on the money front.
♍ Virgo House 1
It's YOUR turn, in your 1st house: image, drive, personal growth. Your optimism shoots up, and in late August, nobody can say no to you.
♎ Libra House 12
Jupiter moves into your 12th house, the house of behind-the-scenes work and quiet protection. A year to recharge and sharpen your judgment before it reaches your sign in 2028.
♏ Scorpio House 11
In sextile to your sign, Jupiter lights up your 11th house: friends, networks, group projects. It fills you with enthusiasm, and your charisma hits the mark this fall.
♐ Sagittarius House 10
Your ruler Jupiter climbs into your 10th house: career, reputation. A springboard for more than a year, but in square: you'll need to adjust your habits in September.
♑ Capricorn House 9
In trine to your sign, Jupiter opens your 9th house: travel, studies, big projects. An ally sign that boosts your morale and offers you real breakthroughs.
♒ Aquarius House 8
Jupiter moves through your 8th house: shared money, intimacy, transformation. A low-key transit, useful for sorting out what you share with others.
♓ Pisces House 7
Opposite you, Jupiter settles into your 7th house: relationships, partnerships, contracts. Luck comes through others: a meeting or a commitment may happen in late August.
✦
In a birth chart, Jupiter shows the area of life where you grow, where you succeed, and where luck tends to land. It's called the great benefic. It stands for your joy of living, your social growth, your opportunities. It can also represent an authority figure, without being the father. When badly aspected, it shows where you tend to overdo things. It also amplifies whatever the other planets touch.
At its best, it brings optimism, joviality, a sense of organization, recognition, generosity and a taste for pleasure. Its flip side: excess, bluffing, vanity, waste, opportunism. It also symbolizes justice, the law, finances, marriage, teaching and people of standing. It travels around the zodiac in about twelve years. Its metal is tin, its day is Thursday, and its emblems are the scepter, the thunderbolt and the eagle.
✦
The sign Jupiter was in when you were born colors the way you grow and seize opportunities. What follows is a birth chart reading, not to be confused with the 2027 transit described above. To place Jupiter among the other planets, see the planets in astrology.
Contagious enthusiasm
You're active, enterprising and outgoing, and your joy of living is catching. You like to give lessons, bluntly, even if it annoys people. Your warmth makes up for your bossy side, and you hate underhanded moves.
Your strength: optimism that carries others along
Your challenge: not forcing your way of doing things
The bon vivant
For you, pleasure is king, in love as in life's small joys. Money and comfort matter, out of a need for security. Attached to tradition, you insist on staying honest, and peace makes you happy.
Your strength: a real talent for building comfort
Your challenge: not mistaking security for accumulation
The free spirit
Conventional wisdom makes you smile. You love to improvise, to question things, sometimes to shock the self-righteous. Outgoing and playful, you need a big circle of friends, or an audience.
Your strength: spontaneity that opens doors
Your challenge: not drifting into superficiality
The protector
You love calm and your family nest, and you protect your loved ones. Your gentleness and charm are persuasive. This placement brings a rich imagination, sometimes tinged with melancholy.
Your strength: tenderness that reassures
Your challenge: watching out for overindulgence and anxiety
The radiant one
Ambitious and confident, you know how to communicate and play the social game. Honors matter to you, but your generosity is sincere. Organized and efficient, you often go on to succeed.
Your strength: organizational skills that take you far
Your challenge: shining without needing admiration
The methodical one
Here, Jupiter turns more discreet. You enjoy simple pleasures, but you find it hard to let go. Efficient, precise and organized, you're helpful, and wary of flamboyant types.
Your strength: efficiency that inspires trust
Your challenge: not underestimating yourself
The mediator
Refined, you seek balance and well-being. You have a sense of fairness and the art of standing your ground without offending. Mediation and aesthetics can become real talents.
Your strength: a natural gift for bringing people together
Your challenge: daring to decide when you must
The optimist in the storm
You stay upbeat in a crisis, and your sharp judgment helps you get through. You love strong sensations and the extraordinary. Without seeming to, you lead people where you want.
Your strength: clear-sightedness that weathers any crisis
Your challenge: not abusing your power of influence
Domicile • Joy of living, in person
Jupiter is at home here, since it rules Sagittarius. It gives you a big appetite for life, a gift for keeping things simple and unshakable optimism. Ambitious and grounded, you can lead a group.
Your strength: optimism that never fades
Your challenge: not promising everything to everyone
Patient ambition
Jupiter isn't very comfortable in this serious sign. You swing between a need for recognition and an urge to withdraw. With the right balance, you build stable success over time.
Your strength: solid, lasting success
Your challenge: balancing retreat and ambition
The unifier
Adaptable, inventive and tolerant, you know how to enjoy the moment and rally the troops. Rigid settings weigh on you, sometimes to the point of making you go it alone.
Your strength: a joy of living that brings people together
Your challenge: accepting constraints without digging in
Traditional domicile • The kind-hearted one
Jupiter is the first ruler of Pisces, before Neptune, and it feels at ease here. Sociable and generous, you protect your own and avoid complications. You can carry big projects, for yourself or for a group.
Your strength: generosity that lifts others
Your challenge: not getting swayed or overdramatizing

About thirteen months. It enters on July 26, 2027 and leaves on August 24, 2028 to move into Libra. Its retrograde, from January to May 2028, takes place entirely in Virgo.
Yes, for almost everyone, even though tradition says it's in detriment in this sign. Its luck becomes less spectacular and more practical: it rewards steady work, good health habits and organization. Earth signs and Virgo benefit the most.
