Jupiter Return dates for people born in 1979: June 25, 2026 to September 12, 2027 by birth month, solved from the Swiss Ephemeris. Jupiter in Cancer or Leo or Virgo, one or three passes, and your fifth return.
Transiting Jupiter re-crosses the natal Jupiter of 1979 births between June 25, 2026 and September 12, 2027. Each row gives the earliest and latest date for that birth month, solved from the Swiss Ephemeris for every birthday in the month at noon UTC (a birth time moves natal Jupiter by a fraction of a degree, so it can shift a pass by a day or two). 47 of the 365 birthdays in 1979 get the full three-pass return. The calculator above solves your own passes to the minute.
Jupiter changed sign during 1979, so 1979 births carry Jupiter in Cancer or Leo or Virgo depending on the birthday, and the month rows above mark the months that straddle the change. Astrologers read a Cancer Jupiter return as growth through belonging: home, family, roots and care, and the generosity that comes from feeling safe, and a Leo Jupiter return as growth through being seen: creative confidence, warmth, play and leadership, and the risk of performing instead of creating, and a Virgo Jupiter return as growth through service and skill: health, craft, usefulness, and the humility that makes expertise welcome. The house it occupies in your own chart, which needs a birth time, is where the return shows up.
Jupiter spends about four months of every year retrograde. When the retrograde loop falls on your natal degree, transiting Jupiter crosses it three times: forward (the first exact pass), backward (the retrograde pass, which astrologers read as the review), and forward again (the final pass, when the new chapter settles). When the loop falls elsewhere, Jupiter crosses once and keeps going. Both are real Jupiter returns; the three-pass version stretches the opening across most of a year. The rows above say which kind each 1979 birth month gets.
The third return for 1979 births ran between July 11, 2014 and September 28, 2015, around age 36. The fifth lands between October 25, 2037 and August 27, 2039, around age 59. Jupiter's cycle is about 11.9 years on average but not a clock, so these are solved crossings rather than birth year plus a round number. Enter your birth details above and the calculator dates every return you will live through.
The fourth Jupiter return for 1979 births is landing between June 25, 2026 and September 12, 2027, depending on the birthday: the earliest date is a first exact pass for March birthdays, the latest a final pass for December birthdays (Jupiter's retrograde loop means the order does not simply follow the calendar). The month table on this page narrows it to your birth month; the calculator above solves the exact passes for your birthday.
No. Jupiter moves about thirty degrees in a year, so a January and a December 1979 birthday carry natal Jupiter positions up to a sign apart, and transiting Jupiter reaches them months apart. Within one birth month the spread is usually a week or two, which is why each row shows an earliest and a latest date instead of one day.
It depends on the day: Jupiter changed sign during 1979, so 1979 births carry Jupiter in Cancer or Leo or Virgo. The month rows above note which months straddle the change; the calculator resolves it exactly from your birth date.
Not for the dates. Jupiter moves at most about a quarter of a degree a day, so the birth date alone fixes each exact pass to within a day or two. The birth time decides the house natal Jupiter sits in, which is the part astrologers use to say which area of life the return expands, so enter it if you have it and leave noon if you do not.
Counting from the day transiting Jupiter first comes within one degree of natal Jupiter to the last day it leaves a degree after the final pass, the fourth return for 1979 births spans June 21, 2026 to September 16, 2027 across the whole cohort; for one birthday it is a few weeks with a single pass and most of a year with three. 47 of the 365 birthdays in 1979 get the three-pass version.
The third return for 1979 births ran between July 11, 2014 and September 28, 2015 across the cohort, around age 36. The next one after this, the fifth, lands between October 25, 2037 and August 27, 2039, around age 59. These are solved crossings, not birth year plus a round number.
