Why Astrologers Say June 24 Is a ‘Day of Miracles’

If you believe in lucky days, there’s one worth circling on the calendar every year. Dubbed the “Day of Miracles” by astrologers, it’s the annual moment when the life-giving sun and abundant Jupiter unite at the same zodiac sign and degree in the sky. As these two heavenly hedonists team up, it can feel like anything’s possible.

Astrologers also have a technical name for this rare and powerful moment: cazimi, which comes from an Arabic phrase meaning “in the heart of the sun.” In astrological terms, a cazimi takes place when a planet moves within three degrees of the sun, receiving el sol’s radiant, royal favor. And when that planet is Jupiter, the cosmic benefactor of growth, fortune, and wisdom? The stage is set for, you guessed it, miracles.

The Day of Miracles falls on a different calendar date each year. In 2025, that happens to be June 24. As the red-spotted planet bathes in the sun’s light, a portal opens up for breakthroughs.

For the first time since 2013-2014, the sun and Jupiter are teaming up in intuitive, emotionally layered Cancer. If you’ve found yourself weeping over a nostalgic TikTok, organizing a family group chat, or sifting through boxes of childhood treasures, you’re already feeling the effects of the sun and Jupiter moving closer and closer together in this tenderhearted water sign.

Cancer is the zodiac’s nurturer, connected to home, ancestry, and the sacred feminine. It rules over our family histories, our emotional roots, and our sense of safety and belonging. With Jupiter swimming through Cancer’s sensitive waters from June 9, 2025, to June 30, 2026, empathy and emotional intelligence are on the rise. Not just personally, but collectively. Benevolent Jupiter is the global ambassador of the skies—and this signal-boost from the sun could not come soon enough.

What, exactly, might a miracle look like on June 24? While few of us will witness burning bushes, spot a Sasquatch, or score winning Powerball tickets, miracles often take subtler forms. The sweetness of a summer romance that you finally dare to open your heart to. A deeply connected conversation with your mom, sister, or one of your oldest friends—one where you feel unconditionally loved and accepted. A random interaction with a helpful stranger that restores your faith in humanity.

Merriam-Webster defines a miracle as “an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.” A Course in Miracles, a spiritual text, offers a more intimate take: A miracle is simply a “shift in perception from fear to love.”

In that spirit, the sun-Jupiter meetup (i.e., “the Jupiter cazimi”) invites us to recognize where we may be blocking our blessings—not because we’re flawed, but because fear has quietly crept in. No, we may not be able to erase our worries entirely. But we can choose to acknowledge our fears, and then act in spite of them. That’s where the miracle lives: in the courage to move forward in the face of our own inner resistance.

Since Cancer is associated with our childhoods, the 2025 Day of Miracles might stir up some monsters hiding under the metaphoric bed. Maybe it’s the sweaty-palmed panic that hits before speaking up in a meeting, or a friendship dynamic that you haven’t challenged because you’re afraid people won’t like you if you say no. June 24 is the day to take a different approach. Share your opinion. Draw the boundaries. Then, let other people deal with their ensuing emotions—while you resist the shadow side of Cancer: caretaking.

The 2025 Day of Miracles also offers a priceless opportunity to confront generational patterns. Since Cancer is the sign of the mother, examine the narratives you inherited from the women in your life. You may feel inspired to rewrite a family belief around money, relationships, or self-worth. Maybe you’ll dare to try something no lady in your lineage ever has.

While the Day of Miracles has not been recognized as an international holiday (hey, an astrologer can dream), we wouldn’t fault you for taking a day off this Tuesday, June 24. The sun and Jupiter love nothing more than a vacation, so slip Tina Knowles’s memoir, Matriarch, in your tote as a beach read, then head to the nearest pool or shore.
