Growth in words, trade and travel
Returns about every 12 years. What the transit means, then what was in the news and who was born each time it passed through Gemini since 1900, so you can test the teaching against the record, and against your own life.

That is about 10 years away. Last time it was here from May 2025 to June 2026.
Right now Jupiter is in Leo →
Growth in words, trade and travel
Jupiter is the planet of growth, faith, teachers and good fortune. Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury: speech, news, trade, learning and short journeys. Mercury and Jupiter are not friends in the tradition; one deals in detail, the other in meaning, so Jupiter here is generous but scattered.
The theme is expansion of exchange. Media, publishing and education grow. Ideas travel. The risk is too many of them. The lesson is that a broad mind still needs a thread, and that teaching is only teaching when someone learns.
Which ideas that spread in this year were still worth repeating later?
Three questions, in this order. They work for every planet and every sign.

Anyone born under a transit carries it in their birth chart. Those with a chart in our library open straight into it.
Too soon to tell. People born during this visit will appear here once they are grown and well known.
The same transit, a generation apart. Pick any two of Jupiter's visits to Gemini and read them against each other.
2013–14 leaned to politics and society, 2025–26 to conflict and disaster. The same transit set the backdrop both times; what played out in front of it differed.
What made the news. Every story in the record for Jupiter's visits to Gemini, 403 in all, by kind, next to the usual mix across every transit since 1900.
| Kind of story | These visits | Usual |
|---|---|---|
| Conflict and disaster | 35% | 35% |
| Politics and society | 25% | 29% |
| Science and space | 15% | 13% |
| Culture and sport | 26% | 24% |
| Treaties and agreements | 4% | 10% |
Gold numbers differ from the usual mix by five points or more. Wikipedia covers some kinds of story more than others, and a few visits are a small sample, so treat a difference as something to notice and check, not a rule.
