Your Horoscope for the New Moon in Cancer

New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation. If you have a lack in your life, then this is the time the collective will work to fill it, whether through a new experience, person, or item. We must make space for beginnings and foolish behavior during new moons. Mind you, we're all fools when beginning something new, so don't be scared to get experimental.

For newbies, a New Moon is when the moon conjuncts the sun to the same degree. New moons are for setting intentions and goals to manifest. Take the theme of each new moon (manifestation period) as inspiration to bring forth the best version of yourself!

June’s New Moon in Cancer occurs on June 25th, 2025, at 6:30 a.m. ET, and this time, it’s not just the Moon whispering to us. Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, expansion, and grace, has entered Cancer for the first time in over a decade. This isn’t just any new moon. This is a spiritual rebirth coded into ancestral memory. Jupiter in Cancer doesn’t just bless—it remembers. And in doing so, it asks us to rewrite what was handed down too soon, too rigidly, or too painfully.

Here’s the truth: many of us were taught to nurture others before ever being taught how to nurture ourselves. We were handed scripts—how to smile softly through heartbreak, how to say yes when we meant no, how to make ourselves digestible even when we were starving for our own wholeness. Somewhere along the way, grace became confused with self-abandonment, and elegance with silence. We were told that to be good women, we must be good mothers to everyone—except ourselves. But what if that script was never written with our spiritual evolution in mind?

This New Moon is not asking you to run away from home; it’s asking you to create one within. One that shelters your dreams, your voice, and your inner child. It’s time to re-mother yourself—with boundaries, with tenderness, and with truth.

What to do for this New Moon in Cancer:

Find your Ground. Reclaim rituals that make you feel safe, nourished, and held. Bake yourself a dozen of your favorite cookies. Be bad at playing an instrument, and mother yourself becoming good at your gifts. Take a long shower. Go on a field trip to your favorite museum. Buy yourself that plush keepsake.

Say no. Even to people you love—when your body contracts in their presence. You might be saying no to the person that expanded you because you were taught to be ashamed of your growth. Some people can only be as content with you as they are with themselves, and will speak you away from living life’s fullness. This may be unintentional, might speak to a lack of alignment, and is ultimately up to you to discern. Sometimes, saying “I don’t know” or “not at this time” is a proper response to a forced outcome.

Reclaim your narrative. Call back the parts of yourself you’ve exiled in the name of being “nice.” You need to be a self-affirmed human. Calling back the exiled parts of yourself mean owning up to your shame, and choosing to be accountable for your healing.

Practice forgiveness. But only if you’re ready. Forgiveness is not a requirement for freedom. Mamas, girlies, and gays, if you are holding a harshness within yourself please work with this New Moon to commit to accept softness.

This New Moon wants to teach you how to stop outsourcing your worth and start coming home to your own spirit. Let the tides of the cosmos pull you inward. Let the winds of the world soften the walls around your heart. And when you rise like light again, let yourself be your own sanctuary.

Your horoscope for the New Moon in Cancer happening on June 24, 2025 at 6:30 a.m. EST:

Your biggest task right now is to get through to yourself. You’re so used to solving things alone that you’ve internalized neglect as normal. Just because you’ve adapted to an unmet need doesn’t mean you should continue to tolerate it. This New Moon is here to help you re-establish basic self-care, not as a checklist but as a spiritual practice. Start by creating a cozy, safe environment—your body, your home, your mind. Softness isn’t weakness, Aries. It’s wisdom. And giving yourself what you never had doesn’t make you needy. It makes you whole.

Teaching yourself tenderness means unlearning how harsh your inner voice has become. You’ve been resilient for so long that toughness has become your armor—but now it’s weighing you down. This New Moon invites you to treat your thoughts like a garden. Pull out what no longer serves you. Plant kinder words. Nourish your nervous system with slowness, beauty, and deliberate care. You are allowed to be soft. You are allowed to rest. Mindfulness isn’t a luxury—it’s a tool for survival. It’s time to save yourself with softness, not stoicism.

This New Moon asks you to define what safety means to you. You’ve been trying to find security in people, ideas, and new goals—but emotional grounding begins within. You might feel sensitive about finances or your body, but those triggers are guiding you back to what matters. It’s time to retreat into the rituals that nourish you. Don’t be afraid to pull away from surface-level chatter and go deeper into your own voice. Your peace is sacred. Make decisions from that space, not from the need to be everything to everyone.

Happy Birthday, sweet Cancer. This New Moon is not just about beginnings—it’s about remembering who you are underneath all the roles you’ve been asked to play. Jupiter is expanding your self-understanding, showing you just how much wisdom you carry from surviving what others never knew about. You’ve been growing, healing, and becoming—and now it’s time to be seen in your fullness. Don’t shrink back into old comfort zones. You are allowed to take up space. Nourish the version of you that no longer needs to be rescued. Let your softness lead the way.

You finally see clearly. After years of denying your own depth in order to shine for others, your inner world is now louder than the applause. This New Moon calls you to step behind the curtain and reconnect with your true self. Your influence doesn’t come from being on display—it comes from being intentional. Your insights deserve to be shared, but don’t perform your wisdom. Let it drip from a place of presence, not persona. Leadership begins with self-trust. Let your presence be your power.

Let go of the belief that love must be earned through labor. This New Moon asks you to redefine what it means to be helpful. Your worth is not measured by how much you produce or how many fires you put out. You’ve done enough. Now it’s time to let yourself be held, even if only by your own arms. Call in community that values your heart, not just your hands. Rest is not a reward—it’s a right. This is your moment to receive what you so often give away.

Your career is taking shape, but not without some growing pains. You’ve been showing up for your professional self while quietly wondering if your personal relationships will survive the ride. They can—if you stay rooted in your truth. Don’t abandon your needs just to make peace. You can hold your boundaries and still love deeply. This New Moon gives you a chance to re-evaluate how you balance ambition and affection. Let your emotional clarity guide your next step, not your fear of losing connection.

This New Moon illuminates your inner search for meaning. You’ve been carrying silent truths and now they’re ready to be integrated. Don’t rush to share everything—sometimes the power is in holding your wisdom close until it fully ripens. You are transforming, and this time, it’s not about survival. It’s about truth. Deepen your studies, your spiritual path, or your private thoughts. Let this be a time of sacred internal growth. When you do speak again, your words will carry weight, magic, and healing.

You’re not as detached as you pretend to be. This New Moon exposes your deeper emotional needs—especially around intimacy, trust, and belonging. Let yourself feel what’s coming up without trying to escape it. Emotional vulnerability doesn’t make you weak; it makes you real. You’re preparing for a creative rebirth, but it requires you to get honest about your fears. What do you avoid in the name of freedom? What would happen if you stayed and felt it? Stay. Feel. Heal. The world can wait while you come home to yourself.

This New Moon highlights your relationships, but not in a romanticized way. It’s showing you the work—the effort it takes to build connection, the courage it takes to stay open, and the self-respect required to walk away when your needs aren’t met. You’ve grown past people-pleasing. Now you want something real, mutual, sacred. That starts with honesty—with yourself and with others. Let this lunation clarify what kind of love you’re available for. And more importantly, what kind you’re not.

You’re being asked to take better care of your human side. The part of you that aches, that gets tired, that wants more order and less chaos. You often live in your head, but this New Moon is asking you to ground your energy into rituals of restoration. You don’t need a total life overhaul—just a willingness to start small. Declutter your space. Nourish your body. Reconnect to purpose through daily rhythms. The more you tend to the now, the clearer your long-term vision will become.

This New Moon is a healing balm for your creativity and your heart. You’ve been giving a lot emotionally, and now it’s time to pour some of that tenderness back into yourself. Let art, poetry, and play be your medicine. Your relationships are stable, even if they feel quiet. That stillness isn’t rejection—it’s reflection. Take this time to re-align with what brings you joy, not just comfort. You’re ready to express yourself more fully. Your magic returns when you stop performing and start creating from your soul.
