A new cycle opens without warning: what will this June New Moon bring you?

Sometimes, what we thought was settled comes back in disguise—softer, blurrier… or more dangerous. On June 25, 2025, a New Moon in Cancer, tightly aligned with Jupiter, slips into our memories, emotions, and ancestral roots, shaking what we thought was already healed. But don’t let the protective feel of this lunation fool you—it forms a tense square to Neptune, setting the stage for emotional, spiritual, or even family-related mirages.

So, the real question is: will you follow your heart… or your illusions?

A heart-centered lunation: Cancer + Jupiter = emotional tidal wave

On June 25, the Sun and Moon unite in Cancer, the zodiac’s most emotionally charged sign. This New Moon sets the tone for the weeks ahead: sensitivity, intuition, family ties, and deep emotional roots. But this time, it’s not a gentle wave of nostalgia—it’s a full-on surge. Why? Because Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is right there in conjunction, amplifying everything.

Your feelings, your cravings, your memories, your need for emotional security… even childhood wounds you thought were long gone could resurface gently—but unmistakably.

This lunation touches what makes us deeply human. It may spark a longing for belonging, a deeper meaning in your family or ancestral ties. Or it might awaken bittersweet memories, an aching for people or places long gone, or an overwhelming need to protect those you love—even if it means forgetting yourself in the process.

Mars lends courage, Neptune clouds judgment: a tug-of-war between strength and confusion

This isn’t a solitary New Moon—it forms a supportive sextile to Mars, the cosmic warrior, infusing us with the drive to act, protect, and fight for what (or who) we care about. It’s a beautiful aspect for stepping forward with purpose, especially in areas that emotionally fulfill you. With Mars on your side, even vulnerability feels like strength.

But here’s the twist… Neptune steps in to muddy the waters. In a tense square to this lunation, Neptune brings fog, illusion, and uncertainty. What you feel might not reflect reality. What you defend might be a mask, a distraction, a fantasy. This tension can push you to idealize people, ideas, even missions—telling yourself sweet stories instead of facing uncomfortable truths.

And sometimes, the most seductive emotions hide the most toxic undercurrents.

The challenge of this New Moon? To open up and love—yes—but with discernment. Because the impulse to “heal others” can often mask a deeper need to heal parts of yourself. And Neptune knows this game all too well.

Family, roots, emotional inheritance: returning to the source—or to old shadows?

Cancer rules home, mothers, ancestry, memory. This lunation doesn’t just nudge those themes—it dives headfirst into them. You might find yourself revisiting childhood memories, thinking about a parent or someone who once made you feel safe. Dreams or strange coincidences could pull you toward unresolved stories, family patterns, or invisible emotional loyalties.

With Jupiter in the mix, there’s a hunger for meaning and clarity. But with Neptune involved, clarity isn’t guaranteed. That makes this the perfect time to revisit your family story with fresh eyes—and let go of what no longer serves you.

Because what you’ve been carrying? It may not even be yours to begin with.

This New Moon invites you to sort through what’s yours to keep, what deserves to be honored—and what it’s finally time to release. Set intentions rooted in your emotional foundation.

What roots are worth nourishing?
What kind of “home” do you want to create—inside yourself or out in the world?
And what beliefs (often inherited) are you finally ready to let go of?

The temptation of ideals, the longing for faith: when good intentions hide dangerous illusions

Neptune casts a dreamy glow over this lunation. Some may feel a wave of faith, a spiritual urge, a desire to believe in something greater. Others might be drawn to a cause, a community, or an ideal that—on closer look—isn’t as pure as it seems.

That’s the trap of Neptune squares: idealism becomes a convenient escape from the self.

You could find yourself swept up by feel-good ideas, tempting promises, or relationships so intense they make you feel like you’re finally alive—but that are built on nothing. If you’re drawn to someone or something simply because “it feels right,” hit pause. Ask yourself: Is this real? Is it mutual? Is it good for me?

The answer isn’t to shut down or distrust everything. It’s to trust your intuition without losing your clarity. A New Moon ritual, a meditation, a quiet moment with your journal—these could help you tune in without getting swept away.

This lunation wants you to feel—but to keep your eyes wide open.

A powerful time to set deep, aligned intentions

Every New Moon opens a door. This one leads into heightened sensitivity, deeper emotional connections, and inner truth—but it also tests you. What are you projecting? What are you avoiding? What are you romanticizing?

Take a moment on June 25 to ask yourself:
What do I truly need to feel safe?
What do I want to nurture in myself—starting now?

The most aligned intentions for this lunation include:

• Healing or strengthening your family ties (even past ones)
• Emotional and spiritual grounding
• Inner protection and resilience
• Mature, discerning faith
• The courage to say no to what clouds your heart

Grab a notebook, light a candle, put on the music that moves you. And ask this New Moon:
What am I no longer willing to believe?
What truly deserves my energy and devotion now?

This New Moon is a test. Will you see through it?

June 25 brings a sky full of emotion and meaning—but not everything is as it seems. Feelings run deep, intuition is strong, but so are the illusions. This isn’t just any New Moon—it’s a crossroads between clarity and confusion, heart and haze.

Now’s not the time to escape into dreams.
It’s time to anchor into a love that’s softer, wiser, more real.

So tell me—will you pretend you didn’t feel anything?
Or will you finally listen to what your heart’s been whispering all along…
even if your mind’s been too scared to hear it?
