Cancer New Moon 2025: Ride the Waves

Jun 18

A Cancer New Moon occurs on June 25th 2025 (6:32AM ET/3:32AM PT). When the transit (moving) Sun and Moon conjunct (align) in the Zodiac, occupying the same spot, this gives ua a New Moon astrologically. New Moons are times of new beginnings, high energy and enthusiastic, and very positive. This targets emotions with Cancer.

What’s the energy of Cancer astrologically?

Cancer is the sign of emotion as the lead water sign. The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the signs of emotion, and are the intuitive and imaginative signs.

Scorpio is intense emotion thanks to also being a fixed sign, and wants to share absolutely everything in a passionate way; Pisces is quietly emotional and compassionate, ultra sensitive and empathetic, and always flowing thanks to being a mutable sign; and Cancer is emotion itself, emotional needs for stability and security, and rules our foundations, support, and what's comfortable.

Cancer is also a cardinal sign, which are the signs that take charge and take the lead. This helps Cancer to get motivated by what it feels, and use emotion to get moving.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the planetary ruler of emotion. The Moon is fluid and flowing with the tides, and Cancer can ebb and flow emotionally.

Cancer is so into its emotions, that on the bad side, it can become subjective. Emotions can take over, and it can be difficult to see anything outside of what it feels, and that can make it seem disinterested, or worse - self involved.

When Cancer is operating well, it uses its own feelings to better understand others, and can be a natural caregiver and nurturer. It can be incredibly supportive of loved ones, and a great cheerleader. Cancer ties to the home and family, and craves a comfortable home and nourishing support system to thrive.

How does a Cancer New Moon impact us?

This brings us to the impact of a Cancer New Moon. Cancer New Moons are times for positive emotions, and we can use them to our advantage. What we feel can motivate us to take action, and we can use this inspiration to take the lead with whatever we want. We can focus on what we're emotionally invested in, and feel ready to get going

This can be an excellent time to start something new from the ground up. Our ability to focus on a strong foundation can help us to craft something that is so strong at the base, nothing can tear it down, which allows us to build something that will last.

Opportunities can come our way for time with family, expanding our support system, making improvements at home or with our living situation, or making ourselves more comfortable. Time for some favorite foods and comfy slippers!

The Tech Specs of the 2025 Cancer New Moon:

The Cancer New Moon gets a huge dose of beneficial energy as it’s conjunct (aligned with) Jupiter in Cancer, since Jupiter just entered Cancer on June 9th. This is SO beneficial! Jupiter opens up big new opportunities, big new ideas, and we can be so optimistic about what's possible. This energy helps us get started with enthusiasm, and we can create some of our own luck. The big new thing could be something we start from the ground up with Cancer, and it can build and grow for the next 5-6 years or longer.

The Cancer New Moon is also sextile (beneficial aspect, 2 signs aways) transit Mars in Virgo, and this provides us with the energy we need to take the initiative and embark on a new beginning. Mars helps to get us going and keep us going with all of the energy and drive that we need.

The Cancer New Moon squares (challenging aspect, 3 signs away) transit Neptune in Aries, and is wide square Saturn in Aries. So, it's not all sunshine and roses, and we do have to work on managing the Saturn and Neptune energy properly. With Saturn, we have to be disciplined, create and stick to plans, and do things the right way and for the right reasons. With Neptune, we have to bring in some imagination, and make sure we're practicing healthy boundaries so we're not pushing ourselves too hard.

Also, Mercury exits Cancer the next day (June 26th), moving to Leo. We might feel super focused on the Cancer energy with the New Moon right when the New Moon occurs as a result, before Mercury moves to a new sign. Mercury might motivate us to take action quickly with an idea or plan. Just make sure you're not impulsive - that might get you stuck in some sand waters with some annoyed crabs!

Look for the house in your natal chart where 4 degrees 8 minutes Cancer falls, and the areas of life ruled by that house can be ones where you’re feeling more driven by emotion, want to get started from the bottom, or get or give support.
