The Cancer New Moon on Wednesday, 25 June 2025 at 11:31 AM BST arrives at 4 degrees of Cancer. It is one of the most emotionally charged and karmically rich lunations of the year. Cancer, ruled by the Moon herself, governs home, family, emotional security, and ancestral roots. This lunation asks us to create soul-deep safety and to plant seeds that nurture our future selves, families, and communities.
Go to:
With Jupiter conjunct the Sun and Moon, and a tense square to Saturn and Neptune, we’re not talking cosy cottage-core vibes and herbal tea (though those can certainly help). This is the kind of lunar reset that echoes across timelines. It’s a time to dream big—responsibly—and to commit emotionally to something more sustainable, soulful, and connected.
How This Cancer New Moon Impacts You
This lunation acts as a celestial refresh button, especially in the Cancer-ruled area of your birth chart. You may feel a surge of emotional depth and the urge to take care of what truly matters. New beginnings linked to home, motherhood, family dynamics, healing the inner child, or creating a sense of personal sanctuary are all supported now. However, it comes with a caveat: Jupiter’s optimism is challenged by Saturn’s realism and Neptune’s illusory haze. Think: hopeful, but not delusional.
Intentions set now may require patience, as they’re more likely to unfold by the time of the Cancer Full Moon on 3 January 2026. This lunation encourages you to act from your heart, but with long-term vision in mind.
For the Collective
This lunation amplifies global themes of family, nationhood, emotional identity, and care. Expect a deeper collective reckoning with how we define ‘belonging.’ Jupiter’s magnifying influence may bring humanitarian efforts to the fore, but the tense aspects suggest potential disillusionment, frustration, or a public craving for meaning. A “baby boom” and increased attention to community, real estate, food supply, and emotional well-being may also ripple outward.
At the same time, Pluto’s quincunx to the lunation forces collective transformation around the structures that no longer serve. The old world is crumbling—emotionally, spiritually, and economically—and this New Moon is one of its emotional pressure points.
Key Planetary Aspects
- New Moon Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer – A rare and hopeful alignment often associated with luck, expansion, and soulful growth. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, making this one of the most supportive places for emotional and spiritual abundance.
- Square to Saturn and Neptune in Aries – Jupiter and the luminaries run into hard truths and foggy visions. Expansion meets resistance. Emotional growth may require realism and emotional maturity.
- Sextile to Mars in Virgo – A helpful push to take grounded, methodical action. Precision and practicality support dreamy intentions.
- Quincunx to Pluto in Aquarius – A Yod (“Finger of Fate”) aspect. Deep transformation and course correction may be required to align personal emotions with collective evolution.
- Mercury in Cancer – Adds mental focus to emotional and domestic themes. Its square to Chiron brings opportunities for healing through communication.
- Venus in Taurus – In a harmonious dance with the Nodes, highlighting relationship growth, financial security, and karmic love connections.
Sabian Symbol for 5°Cancer: “An Automobile Wrecked by a Train”
As usual, we round up to get the Sabian symbol, Cancer 5. This symbol warns against rushing headlong into things without considering the consequences. It speaks of karmic repercussions, the inevitable momentum of our actions, and the clash between personal will and collective forces. For a New Moon, this is a potent metaphor: before you set intentions, ask yourself if you’re planting seeds from wisdom or impulse. The message? Pause. Think long-term. Know when to stop, when to wait, and when to recalibrate.
