New Moon in Cancer – June 25, 2025
The year is nearly half over (I know, I know!), and we’ve just moved into Cancer season. I have some good news for you: we’ve made it this far, so we’re in for a bit of a break. That doesn’t mean Cancer season — and this New Moon in Cancer on June 25th — won’t bring challenges, but it does mean there are beautiful opportunities on the horizon too.
When the Sun moves into Cancer, it comes under the influence of the Moon, Cancer’s ruling planet. That lunar energy will be with us all season long, inviting us to pay close attention to our emotions, inner wisdom, and the ways the world stirs our feelings. This is a time to attune to your environment and align with what feels nourishing and true.
Cancer energy is both sensitive and sentimental, so allow your emotions to rise and flow without judgment. Let them move through you. And after emotionally intense moments, be sure to give yourself extra time to recover and restore.
This New Moon is a gentle but powerful invitation to return to yourself and what you deeply value. The Moon is conjunct Jupiter, offering a sense of spiritual renewal and expansion. You're being called to lean into your spiritual gifts, listen to the wisdom of your emotions, and follow your dreams. Let yourself feel your way forward, rather than intellectualizing or rationalizing your experience. Logistics can wait for the upcoming Full Moon in Capricorn. There’s no need to force anything right now.
Instead, get bold with your intentions. What feels like a yearning deep in your soul? How can you create a sense of home, both in your physical space and within your inner world? Set intentions that support your sacred space and emotional well-being.
Finally, try not to tune out discomfort around this New Moon. The emotions and conversations that arise, especially the uncomfortable ones, have the power to reveal hidden truths and spark profound growth. Listen in.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from the New Moon in Cancer:
Aries: Your true power is inside. It’s so easy to push your way through things, take the initiative, and align yourself with outside forces to help you accomplish your goals. This New Moon is asking you to tap into what’s true for your soul so your inner wisdom and power can guide you.
Taurus: You’re being called to express yourself more. Your talent for perseverance and grounded willpower is a powerful part of your personality, but it’s time to be real with yourself and express your feelings. Don’t hold back! That conversation you’ve been putting off needs to be had. You’ll feel better afterward.
Gemini: What really boosts and sustains your energy? You’ve been paying attention to things that don’t fuel you, and the New Moon is asking you to set intentions for your physical and emotional well-being. Remember that you are the main character of your story. It’s time to act like it.
Cancer: Happy birthday! This is a beautiful homecoming moment for you. Take time to look back at all you’ve accomplished in the past year, and especially in the past six months since the previous Full Moon in your sign. Take action on something that sets your soul on fire!
Leo: It’s time to get quiet, for yourself and others. Spend some time alone around the New Moon, maybe even in silent meditation. Although you usually live your life out loud, sometimes you need to slow down, quiet down, and listen to yourself. Your fears and restlessness are here to help you identify what needs to shift. Set intentions around those messages.
Virgo: You’ve been busy and you’re feeling a little disconnected from others. It’s time to clarify who you want to spend your time with. Set your intentions around emotional connection and building meaningful friendships over the next several months.
Libra: It’s time for a recalibration. Take time to tap back into your personal values and the legacy you’re building. Are they aligned? How are your emotions? Remember, your sign is all about balance and alignment. Follow your intuition as you set intentions and work toward your goals.
Scorpio: It’s time to get a little wild, Scorpio! You’re already here for the depth that the New Moon in Cancer is inviting us into, so now’s your chance to take a step forward into something that feels mysterious, unfamiliar, and utterly magnetic. Set intentions for magick and adventure.
Sagittarius: You’re being called to explore a new facet of intimacy with yourself and in your relationships. This is the steady, flowing kind of closeness that feels less fiery and passionate but lasts longer. Open up to someone you know and trust about your emotions this New Moon. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what unfolds.
Capricorn: It’s ok to show your softer side. Expressing your emotions makes you stronger, not weaker, so tell those you love how you feel about them. Resist the urge to retreat behind comfortable walls and remember that you don’t need to be perfect. Set intentions around being your whole self.
Aquarius: Tap back into the rituals that you’ve put on hold, or lost track of, over the past few months. It’s time for some quiet self-care and emotional self-support. Set your intentions around daily nourishing rituals and nourishing foods this New Moon.
Pisces: Joy is yours this New Moon, and it’s not going away anytime soon. Set intentions around following beauty and creativity, and remember to fill your soul. This New Moon is familiar and comfortable for you, so it’s also a good time to remember to be a great partner/spouse and friend to anyone who’s feeling the emotions heavily right now.
Happy New Moon, witches!
