🌑 Cancer New Moon — Craving What’s Sweet
June 28, 2025
There is much to celebrate under this Cancer New Moon. An exalted Jupiter sits beside the Sun and Moon like a fairy godmother granting wishes. But with Saturn and Neptune in Aries squaring this trio, there’s a cosmic caveat: be careful what you wish for.
This lunation asks us to rewrite the way we parent ourselves — from comfort all the way through to consequence. When Jupiter joins the Moon in Cancer, it expands our emotional world. Done well, it offers the chance to explore the full depth and breadth of who we are, if we dare to look honestly.
Start by summoning your inner observer and asking to see what usually stays hidden. But prepare to meet yourself in the shadowed corners, too. Where have you rationalized taking something — time, attention, opportunity — as a way to even a score that originated long ago? Have you unleashed years of frustration on someone who simply tripped a buried wire?
This isn’t to say the New Moon is dark or punishing. Quite the opposite. Its medicine lies in the tenderness of self-acceptance strong enough to hold an unfiltered reflection. You are being asked to live from that place. Because your actions now shape the world you step into next.
Mars in Virgo sextiles the New Moon, offering disciplined action, deliberate choice, and patience in pursuit of change. This is your invitation to apply your energy wisely — with intention and compassion.
Reflect on the people you admire most — your personal heroes. What you love in them exists within you, waiting for expression. Equally, those who provoke your judgment hold a mirror to something unintegrated. Our fear insists that we exile what’s “unlovable.” But Cancer’s gift is safety — the kind that lets you be whole without shame.
Another side effect of so much water energy? Craving sweetness. Literally and figuratively. Jupiter may inspire sugar binges or self-soothing habits, while Saturn in Aries reminds us there’s a cost to indulgence. Consider what form of sweetness you truly hunger for: Kindness? Rest? Affirmation? Choose soul nourishment over empty calories.
Each time you recover from a reactive moment or choose a new response, you show the Universe you are ready to live your fullest life. Your heart, body, mind, and soul are on board. That’s the ultimate sweetness: trust in yourself.
Affirmation:
I meet myself with honesty and compassion. I crave truth as much as sweetness, and I trust my soul to guide me to wholeness.
