Welcome to the Cancer New Moon 2025. Occurring on Wednesday, June 25, at 3:32 a.m., this one has a lot going on. To a certain degree, it is all well within the normal parameters of what Cancer rules. At this time of year, our focus redirects to our families in some way, and to the Divine Benevolent Mother archetype that lives within each of us. But factor in some of the other planets at play and the fact that the Moon rules the sign of Cancer, and this feels like a Cancer New Moon on steroids. Let’s look at exactly why.

OK, breathe and buckle up, y’all. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover. Writing this one has been a bit of a road race: it moves fast, has hairpin turns, and, if you are not careful, you can wipe out. It is quite a thing. An open mind, a laser focus, and a child-like sense of wonder, humor, joy, and delight are essential to success.

Normally, the Taurus New Moon is a wonderful return to all the best things about being in a human body on this planet, especially in the spring. Taurus rules beauty and balance, harmony and love. Taurus rules nature and Earth Day. Taurus rules the divine feminine archetype and aspects of mothering and Mother's Day. Taurus rules aspects of fertility, the spring, and the sacred rituals of Beltane. Taurus rules teams and teambuilding, as well as aspects of leadership.
