Gather ’round the firepit for heartfelt moments with your nearest and dearest when the year’s only Cancer new moon—on Wednesday, June 25 (6:31AM EDT; 4º07’)—sets the stage for close-knit bonding and cozy, dreamhouse goals.
The homespun Cancer new moon beams its nurturing energy upon us. Like Christmas (in almost July!), it’s time to get cozy with your inner circle and find new ways to bless your nest.
Who gets an invitation? Well, who are the unwavering supporters who always show up for you? Honor these unsung heroes of your inner circle and let them bask in the VIP treatment they richly deserve.
But remember who’s No. 1. You can still be caring without falling into the role of caretaker. If you’ve poured from your own cup one too many times, the Cancer new moon nudges you to redraw healthy boundaries. Maybe you’ve forgotten where other people’s “shells” end and yours begins. Sink into some well-deserved self-care and practice the liberating art of saying “no.” Recommit to relaxation and make sure you have enough support.
On the home front, this domestic new moon could unveil a dreamy listing or unleash an interior design spree. A soul-soothing house-blessing ritual could be the perfect mid-year energy cleanse for your most sacred spaces. Since this new moon fist-bumps Mars in Virgo, a deep decluttering session may erupt.
Get out and make a splash when you’re not tucked away in your casa. Spending time near water can be especially rejuvenating with this water sign moon. Confirm your attendance at those pool parties and beach weekends! Don’t ignore this watery lunation’s invitation to make the most of the summer months.
Love attaches like Velcro at the Cancer new moon
Catching feelings? That could be an understatement under the new moon in soulful, sentimental Cancer.
Coupled? This lunar lift can act like a cosmic bonding agent for couples who are ready to get cozy. Speaking of which, is it time to exchange keys, surf Zillow in search of a love nest or start talking to architects about dream home plans? The June 25 Cancer new moon begins a six-month cycle that could shape your co-living situation by the Cancer full moon on January 3, 2026.
Single? Give a glance to the “nice” types even if you’re happy as a solo act. You might meet someone who is kind and caring enough to reframe your thoughts on relationships. Family and friends could play matchmaker, so don’t protest when they tell you they have someone they’d love for you to meet.
With the Cancer new moon’s focus on home, roots and emotional bonds, this is the perfect time to reach out to the nurturers in your life. Whether you share DNA or they occupy the esteemed title of chosen family, having their support reminds you that you’re never alone in the world.
One caution for the 2025 Cancer new moon
Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew! The June 25 Cancer new moon aligns with maximizer Jupiter (in Cancer) and clashes with Saturn and Neptune in impulsive Aries, which can give your projects “scope creep” or set the stage for unrealistic expectations.
