A new moon in Cancer begins on June 25, 2025. In this new lunar cycle, the sun and the moon meet in the sensitive water sign of Cancer to open up a phase of deep emotional connection. It’s a quiet, almost whispering new moon—and yet it has enormous power. Cancer rules our emotions, protection, and intuition. It invites us to get closer to our innermost being, the one that gives us security and connects us to our core essence.
Put another way, this new moon will give you an opportunity to pause, feel, and listen to what your soul really needs. Here’s how to make the most of the new moon in June 2025.
A return to authenticity
When the sun and moon meet in Cancer, the question becomes: What does home mean to you? And not just externally—but above all, internally? It’s about emotional security, a sense of belonging, and inner peace. Cancer is often described as particularly emotional, nostalgic, or even moody. But in truth, there is a deep power in its emotionality: It invites us to be authentic, to look behind our own facades, to feel who we are when no one is watching, and to reinvent ourselves by returning to our true selves. This new moon calls us to come home. This can be emotionally upsetting, however, so it helps to really face and pay attention to all your feelings.
The new moon is an opportunity for new beginnings
New moons always stand for new beginnings. They mark an ideal moment to plant new seeds. So ask yourself: What do you want to grow in your life? Which emotions do you want to heal, which relationships do you want to nurture, and which inner spaces do you want to reclaim?
This new moon is particularly suitable for projects or processes that have to do with your well-being, your home, your family, or your emotional balance. You can set two points in time as a growth window: In the short term, you have until the full moon on July 10, when the first results might become visible. In the long term, on December 24, the full moon occurs again in Cancer and should complete the cycle.
Cancer is a cardinal sign, which means it initiates and sets things in motion. Just as summer begins when the sun enters Cancer, you can now feel confident in starting something new. This means that everything you tackle and begin to undertake during this time has a special power.
Jupiter offers luck and growth under this new moon
The lucky planet Jupiter, which has been in Cancer since June 9, forms a very harmonious, favorable conjunction with the moon and the sun during this period. This transit offers luck, well-being, and optimism. Jupiter represents expansion, so you can see this phase as a great opportunity for personal, professional, and spiritual growth. You may find yourself giving and receiving compliments left and right in this chapter, and you may be helped even further toward your goals with lucky coincidences and by generally feeling more generous and vibrant. Everything you start now is under a good star, in short.
Jupiter doesn’t just have an outward effect, either. It also opens up space for personal, emotional, and spiritual growth on the inside. You may feel the desire to return to your true talents, dive deeper, and rediscover your gifts.
Saturn and Neptune in square demand clear framework conditions
This new moon also brings with it a tense aspect, namely the square to Saturn and Neptune. Saturn stands for responsibility, boundaries, and reality, while Neptune stands for dreams, longing, and resolution. Their interaction in fiery Aries, where both are located, brings with it a challenging but also fruitful mixture: It’s about grounding dreams and casting visions into concrete forms.
Ask yourself questions like, how can I create practical frameworks for my spiritual and emotional development? What routines strengthen my emotional stability? How can I ensure that my dreams have the foundation they need to become reality? What boundaries do I need to set to protect myself without closing myself off?
This constellation encourages you to take responsibility for your emotional needs. Now is the time to realign yourself with what really nourishes you and what gives you a sense of security, depth, and authenticity. This isn’t about what looks good on the outside, but what is right on the inside. Anything is possible under this new moon…if you are prepared to face your feelings honestly.
The new moon in June 2025 is a particularly good time for this:
Breathe. As basic as it sounds: To return to your essence, you should first pay attention to how you breathe. How do you feel when you consciously use it? Use various breathing techniques, such as square breath or the 4-7-8 method, which can have a calming and stress-relieving effect.
Expand. This applies to all areas under Jupiter’s lucky influence: personal growth, travel, learning, new relationships, and projects. Where do you want to grow? Everything that starts now has the potential to develop positively in the long term.
Take off the mask. Ask yourself, who are you when you take off the mask you wear on the outside? Who emerges?
Celebrate intuition. Cancer knows that our gut feeling is our most important source of light. It can come to us in the form of flashes of inspiration to warn us, but also steer us in a direction that surprises us. These days, listen carefully to what it wants to tell you and remain pure and free from self-doubt and prejudice.
Allow uncomfortable feelings. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable and awkward as we begin to realign ourselves. Shortly before the breakthrough to the next level, our own development can manifest itself as fear or insecurity. Don’t worry! You have to go through it. Not every feeling is comfortable.
What to avoid around this new moon:
Only lose yourself in dreams. Although this is a very emotional new moon, you shouldn’t neglect the structures that allow you to turn your visions into reality. Ask yourself how much commitment a dream (any dream) needs. How can you create a practical framework? What routines should you introduce, and what boundaries should you set?
Stay cool. Don’t push aside important feelings just to keep things light and easy.
Keep yourself small. Don’t hold back because of past disappointments or fear of loss. Dream big! Stay honest and authentic. This is about your future and the life you want to create for yourself.
