ASTRO: NEW MOON IN CANCER

ASTRO NEW MOON IN CANCER

25/6/25 @11:31 GMT

All hail & welcome to Astro: New Moon article. We have a New Moon in Cancer, the cardinal sign represented by a watery crab who carries its home on its back. We are looking at a New Moon which highlights Cancer traits such as home, nurturing, mothering given & received, empathy, kindness, sympathy, patience, creativity & emotional security. The New Moon is at home in Cancer & enhances all of these along with emotion, our past & intuition. The Moon rules Cancer so is very comfortable in this sign & this tends to be a good time emotionally. Having said that we must also take into consideration the other planetary players in the New Moon equation, which I will discuss later. For now, let’s adventure into New Moon & all it has to offer us this June.

New Moon signifies the end of the old cycle & the beginning of a new cycle of phasing. New Moon is a time for new energies & intentions. It brings with it a surge of fresh ideas & new energetic modes for us to experience. With the Sun & Moon in conjunction, in the same sign Cancer, we can easily find balance & feel that we are ready to end old habits & ways & prepare for the new fresher ideas to flow & stimulate our senses in different ways. As New Moon’s go, we can intend to draw energies closer to us, this one is potent & extremely energetic so it’s a great time to write down intentions & think about the energies we really want in our lives.

Ask :

How do I wish to feel?

What kind of mindset do I want?

How do I wish my days to be?

Where in life do I need to improve?

How can I manifest this?

Write down intentions.

Cancer is a cardinal sign of the watery crab. The crab carries its home on its back & home surroundings are very important to Cancer. It represents the home, home security & personal comfort in addition to nurturing & offering space & service to others within that realm. This water sign encourages us to surrender to the gentleness of its ebb & flow. The most common traits of Cancer are practicality, helpfulness, patience, compassion, nurture, romantic, sensitivity, creative, home family, femininity & flow. The qualities to watch out for such as the not so good reflection of Cancer energy are gossip, isolation, uncommunicative, over sensitivity, moodiness, cliquey, passive aggression. If you experience any of these symptoms of imbalance skip the vibe by retreating & going straight to self-care, be kind to yourself & know that you are not alone.

The moon rules cancer so is very comfortable here with Cancer energies, particularly those along the more healing route. Emotional healing is on offer if we can release & let go of whatever we feel is binding us to the mundane. In this way we can experience the real magic of emotional healing. In addition, this is a good time to make a pledge to the positives of the Crab, such as honouring the darkness within, the innermost feelings; acknowledging the safety & security we have in our homes; accepting help where & when needed & offering help to others in service for a greater good; gaining emotional security from new sources rather than relying on outdated habits; beginning something new which in the long run will enhance the lives at home & of family. The potent energy of this Moon can have a long lasting effect on our lives, so is a good time to make important changes which will benefit us in the long run. As Cancer is at the midpoint of the Wheel, we can find ourselves entrenched into internal justifications in any of the cancer areas which are illuminated for us at this time. We could find a sense of security. At this point, it is also a good time to begin something new right from scratch, so working from inception to creation, in time for harvest & abundance within around 6-9 months. These are the points of the year in which our plans can really take root.

PLANETARY INFLUENCES

There is so much to discuss here. Its going to be emotionally triggering for some people who feel the effects of the planets in play.

Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer – we all know that whatever Jupiter touches seems to amplify due to its expansive properties. With Jupiter in Cancer, we are looking at the expansion of Cancer's properties, such as home, security, service to others, practicality & compassion. As Cancer is ruled by the moon, this will involve heightened emotional states, a want to express ourselves in our relationships, at home & within the realms of nurture. Often this aspect refers to our connection to our upbringing, particularly our relationship with our mother or matriarch. Follow intuition & intuitive hits for personal growth & expansion.

Moon Square Saturn in Aries – Saturn brings us challenges & with a hard aspect brings even more difficulty for us to work through these challenges. Keep in mind that these are challenges that we need to work through for our personal growth & wisdom. This is very much an emotion versus self-control situation. This aspect gives us the opportunity we need to overcome negativity, highlighting an area in which we expect things to go wrong or out of our control. This negative notion needs to be addressed, by recognising, accepting & learning the lessons it gives us, so that we can move on to a more positive mindset.  Another highlighted area will be where we will need help from external sources, the ability to recognise we need help & to ask for it. Self-belief & independence are also illuminated. A passion to achieve this level of self- awareness runs throughout this aspect.

Moon Square Neptune in Aries – Conflict resolution is highlighted but we must become the master of our own emotional tides as veils of illusion are lifted & truths are revealed. We can be sensitive & vulnerable with this aspect. We can see illusion & its source. If there is conflict, we must be aware of our own emotional attachment & use our wisdom with grace for a positive outcome. In need of a creative outlet? Now is the time to release the frustration into something positive, energetic & fulfilling. Imagination may hold the key to this fantasy versus reality combination. Get those grey cells working to embrace the opportunities for personal growth by using your visionary thinking.

Moon semi-square Venus in Taurus – This is a very feminine aspect. There may be heightened emotions surrounding relationships, which you would rather be in a space of harmony with. Your emotions may come into friction with how you present your feelings. This aspect is attempting to reveal where you have become inflexible, showing where need to soften & stretch your approach to the other participant. See the big picture for what it is, rather than what you expected.  This could be a result of leaving a situation untouched/ unspoken for a some time, where communication could be a key component to resolution. The offer to change how you are presenting love & compassion is here for you to tap into. This is a seriously sensual placement for Venus with a strong concentration on sensuality, material abundance & beauty, loyalty & expressing love.

Moon sextile Mars in Virgo – Less friction, more encouragement. Encouraging, emotionally expressive around action which needs to be taken. There is a passion for life, for wanting to be your authentic, independent self. Get organised before jumping forward & let the rest unfold before you. Old habits can be eradicated or worked on more seriously to enable that forward motion, now.

What's coming through for me is compassion, relationships, creativity, intimacy & forgiveness. A lot highlighting becoming master of our emotions & trusting intuition. In addition, there seems to be a lot of attention around conflict resolution after having seen the truth of a matter. These are my thoughts. There is a real sense of change in the air & it’s up to us individually to create a change which benefits us & those whom we surround ourselves with.

So, we have come to the end of this Astro: New Moon Cancer for June 2025. Time is flying, isn’t it?

My gratitude to you all for joining me on another cosmic adventure. I wish you all the best for the next two weeks & ask you to join me again for another Astro: Full Moon article on or around 10 July 2025, where we will be looking at a Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn.

Will all that has been playing out over the last month or so come to fruition or is it just the beginning of something much more awesome entering our lives? Join me to make some more astrological discoveries.

In love, light & all betwixt
