New Moon in Cancer - June 25, 2025
On Wednesday, June 25th, 2025 (3:31 AM PDT /6:31 AM EDT, the moon begins a new cycle in the deeply nurturing and healing sign of Cancer. This lunation shifts our focus to the foundational aspects of our lives: family, home, lineage, emotional safety, belonging, feelings, and our inner world. Cancer is ruled by the moon and draws us inward, urging us to assess whether our deepest needs are truly being met. Use this time to reflect on what genuinely makes you feel at home and how you’ve been tending to your soul. Consider what areas of your life require more sustenance and identify the people in your life who provide you with essential support and nourishment.
This New Moon is powerfully marked by its exact conjunction with Jupiter in Cancer, and a challenging square to the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. This rare and auspicious cosmic alignment presents an opportunity to embody spiritual and emotional maturity. It encourages us to transform dreams into reality and cultivate the courage to expand and surrender to what genuinely nurtures our soul. Its challenging alignment to the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter will heighten our emotional attunement and sensitivity to the world around us, and it also may cause disorientation and confusion. Be wary of blind faith. Establish clear boundaries, and practice vulnerability without raising our defenses.
Jupiter entered Cancer on June 9th, initiating a year -long journey towards emotional growth and healing. Jupiter’s presence during this lunation urges us to cultivate emotional safety, enabling us to expand into the areas which demand more from us. However, Saturn, the planet of restrictions and limits, in the sign of Aries, may introduce some obstacles, potentially limiting our desire to expand and flourish.
This creates an inherent tension between expansion and restriction. To navigate this, we must prioritize truth, find the courage to confront our fears, and focus on the immediate steps ahead to prevent overwhelm. Discernment will be key: knowing when to push forward and when to retreat, when to establish boundaries and when to soften, and when to take action versus when it's time to rest or take a pause. While Jupiter is typically known for its positive impact, it can also foster overconfidence that leads to setbacks. Saturn will demand diligent effort to realize our long -term dreams and visions.
This New Moon serves as an invitation to return to our inner wisdom, honor our emotional truth, and for us to deliberately shield ourselves from external distractions so we can hear the whispers coming from our soul. It emphasizes being intentional about where we direct our energy and what we are committed to protecting. This is an opportunity to redefine what it means to sink into your skin, to feel at home within your body, to cultivate deeper connections in your relationships, and to nurture a sense of belonging in how you live your life. This lunation highlights that softness isn’t a sign of weakness and that vulnerability is a super power.
This period calls for a deliberate slowing down. Try it. S l o w… d o w n… Rest. Retreat. Replenish. Renew. Allow your heart to truly feel your words. Tend to your body. Be still. Listen to the quiet within. Seek an emotional reset – an opportunity to establish new emotional patterns and create a healthier relationship with your needs, wants, boundaries, and heart. We are entering a lunar month dedicated to softening, nurturing ourselves and others, and paying attention to what needs to be cultivated both internally and externally.
Consider: What have you allowed into your space that no longer serves you? Where have your emotional walls been too high, or not high enough? What does your younger self need? What does your older self need? How does your relationship with your past require softening? How does your family story continue to resonate within you? What aspects of your life are in need of deeper healing?
Overall, this is a powerful New Moon with the potential to set major projects and ideas into motion. Some will feel compelled to initiate new ventures, especially before Mercury Retrograde next month in Leo. We have a few days before Mercury enters its shadow on June 29th, leaving open a small window for us to harness this New Moon’s energy for significant beginnings. Speaking of new initiatives. I'll soon be launching an online course based on Jupiter's transit through Cancer. This course will be less about the technical and more about how to work with this energy. It will attempt to answer the common question after receiving an astrology reading. Now what? What do I do with this information? There will be more details in the following weeks, but if your interest is piqued, stay tuned, and feel free to reach out with any questions. I'd love for you to join.
