New Moon in Cancer – June 25, 2025: Growing Something That Feeds You

This Wednesday, we welcome a new moon in Cancer, exact at 4°, tightly conjunct Jupiter in Cancer. This pairing is powerful. Both planets are dignified here, with the Moon in its home sign and Jupiter exalted. That means this lunation carries a rare kind of emotional intelligence: strong, nurturing, protective, and quietly expansive. But don’t expect instant results.

New moons are for setting intentions, not chasing outcomes. And with this one in Cancer, the work begins deep within, close to the heart, close to home. What you’re planting now won’t be in full bloom until six months from now, when we reach the full moon in Cancer in early 2026. That’s the long arc of this story. This is a seed moon. The work here is slow, steady, and inward-focused.

What Are You Building That Can Hold You?

Cancer is the sign of belonging, nourishment, lineage, and emotional safety. When the Moon and Jupiter come together here, it’s a call to build something that holds, not just physically, but emotionally.

Maybe it’s a home, maybe it’s a boundary, maybe it’s learning how to care for yourself without guilt. Maybe it’s deciding what “family” means to you now. Jupiter’s involvement here says there’s room to grow, but that growth comes from tending, not rushing. You won’t see results right away. And that’s okay. Cancer works like water: it softens, it shapes, and it sustains over time.

Mars in Virgo: Move With Intention

This new moon is in an exact sextile to Mars in Virgo, lending quiet support. You don’t need to leap, just take the next correct step. Mars in Virgo is practical and precise, reminding you that care and consistency matter more than speed. Use this aspect to shift daily habits, clean up routines, or quietly recommit to something that keeps you steady.

That Saturn-Neptune Fog in the Rearview

The moon and Jupiter are also separating from a square to the ongoing Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries. The tension may not be peaking, but it’s still in the room. You may be coming off a stretch of confusion, fatigue, or pressure to chase something unclear. This new moon offers you a course correction. What if the goal wasn’t to push through but to root deeper into what’s actually yours?

If you’ve been carrying emotional weight that doesn’t belong to you (or trying to make something real out of an illusion) this is a chance to release it.

Setting Intentions: Think Long-Term, Think Emotional Infrastructure

This is a moon for long-haul intentions. What you begin now emotionally, relationally, domestically, will unfold in layers over the next six months, culminating at the full moon in Cancer in early 2026. That’s when the outcomes will be clearer.

So don’t worry about performance or proof. Focus on foundation. What supports you? What do you want to feel more of six months from now?

Write it down. Speak it aloud. Begin the process but not with urgency. With care.

Aries Rising

This new moon lands in your 4th house of home, roots, and private life. Something new is forming around your living situation, family connections, or the way you feel safe in your space. Jupiter here brings a chance to expand your sense of belonging, but it starts with emotional honesty. What kind of home are you ready to grow into physically or emotionally? You might not see it yet, but you’re laying the groundwork now for what you’ll stand on six months from now.

Taurus Rising

The 3rd house lights up for you: communication, local environment, siblings, and mindset. This is about rewriting the way you speak, listen, and process. Jupiter’s presence could bring growth through writing, study, or healing conversations. This lunation is less about what’s said out loud and more about what you’re learning to trust in your own thoughts. The way you communicate is shifting slowly, but meaningfully.

Gemini Rising

The new moon activates your 2nd house of income, values, and stability. This is the start of a new relationship with money or more deeply, with what you believe you’re worth. Jupiter here encourages a new story around abundance, but it’s not just about earning more, it’s about building something you believe in. Your resources may expand over the next six months, but only if you're aligned with what actually matters to you.

Cancer Rising

This one is personal. The new moon and Jupiter come together in your 1st house, marking a quiet but powerful reset around selfhood, identity, and the way you show up. This is about emotional renewal. Returning to yourself in a way that feels deeply honest. You may feel more introspective or protective right now, but you're planting a seed for how you want to be seen in the world. Six months from now, others will notice what you’re just starting to realize.

Leo Rising

This new moon opens up your 12th house: the space of retreat, rest, and what lives behind the scenes. You’re not planting something visible yet. This is more like tending to what’s unspoken, subconscious, or spiritually significant. Jupiter here can bring emotional insight or healing through solitude, dreamwork, or therapy. Give yourself space to step back. What you nurture in private now may quietly change the way you move through the world by the time the full moon arrives in six months.

Virgo Rising

The 11th house of community, friendships, and long-term goals is activated. This lunation is asking: who are you aligned with, and where are you headed? Jupiter’s presence can bring new social connections or a vision for your future that actually feels good to chase. This isn't about networking for the sake of it. It’s about finding people who reflect your values and building toward something that lasts. Plant that seed now, even if you’re not sure how it grows yet.

Libra Rising

This new moon lights up your 10th house of career, leadership, and public direction. Something is shifting in how you're seen professionally or personally. Jupiter here could bring an opportunity for growth, but the real question is: what kind of legacy do you want to leave? What do you want to be known for six months from now? Don’t rush to perform. Start by getting clear on what success feels like for you, and move from there.

Scorpio Rising

This lunation activates your 9th house: beliefs, travel, publishing, higher learning. Jupiter here expands your worldview, but not through grandiosity, through emotional clarity. You may be setting intentions now around a path of study, spiritual growth, or something that stretches your perspective. Even if you’re not ready to act on it, trust the impulse. The call to explore something deeper is real, and it will mature with time.

Sagittarius Rising

This new moon in your 8th house invites you into territory that’s often avoided: intimacy, shared resources, and emotional risk. Jupiter’s presence here can support healing around trust, power dynamics, or long-held grief. This is where you let go of what’s been draining you and open the door to more supportive exchanges, financially or emotionally. You may not see the transformation just yet, but you’re beginning to move toward a different kind of depth.

Capricorn Rising

The new moon lands in your 7th house of relationships: romantic, professional, and everything in between. Jupiter here invites you to start fresh with how you relate to others. That might mean deepening a current relationship, softening your boundaries, or imagining a new kind of partnership entirely. It’s a good time to set quiet, honest intentions around what you want from the people closest to you. Six months from now, the shape of your connections may look very different.

Aquarius Rising

This lunation is about your 6th house: daily life, health, and work rhythms. Jupiter in Cancer encourages you to build systems that actually support your emotional well-being, not just your productivity. Maybe you’re ready to shift your habits, refine your routines, or get serious about what your body’s been asking for. Small changes you commit to now can create big ripple effects by the time the full moon returns.

Pisces Rising

The new moon lights up your 5th house of creativity, pleasure, romance, and expression. Jupiter’s involvement adds a generous, life-giving boost. This is a time to reconnect with what brings you joy. Maybe it’s art. Maybe it’s love. Maybe it’s allowing yourself to play again. Whatever it is, plant the seed now. This is a beginning that needs softness, not structure. What you create over the next six months has the potential to feel more like you than anything that’s come before.
