Jupiter in Cancer is the Hidden Reason

Jupiter has been retrograde in Cancer from Nov. 11, 2025 to March 10, 2026. Jupiter turned direct from its retrograde transit five days before The Oscars® and it gave blessings to Cancer zodiac placements that evening. Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer, which means it is operating at its highest vibration, feeling generous and brings benefic blessings.

Yes, Mercury was retro in Pisces and will turn direct March 20, 2026. It gave some minor boost to Pisces placements, but Jupiter direct was the breadwinner of the ceremony.
