What Is a Jupiter Return?

The Jupiter Return is one of astrology's most hopeful concepts. Jupiter takes approximately 12 years to orbit the Sun. When it returns to the position it held at your birth, this is called a "Jupiter Return."

Jupiter is the lucky star of astrology, representing expansion, abundance, philosophy, and belief. Each return marks a golden period of energy renewal — old beliefs get upgraded, and new opportunities open their doors to you.
