The moon is on her way to being new this Wednesday June 25 in the watery sign of Cancer at 5:32 am CST. New moons occur every month when the sun and moon are in the same sign at the exact same degree, this is known as a conjunction in astrology. For this new moon the sun and moon will join at 4 degrees Cancer. New moons are symbolic of new beginnings so this is the perfect time each month to make new wishes and set new intentions.
The day before the new moon is known as the dark moon. In certain magical circles the dark moon is said to be a time when our psychic vibe is on high so this makes for a great time to get out your favorite divination tool and give yourself a reading. The dark moon is also a perfect time to do some releasing work; it can be as simple as going through drawers and closets and getting rid of what you no longer need. This simple exercise of clearing out and letting go acts as a ritual; you’re basically putting the Universe on notice that you are making room for the new.
Zodiac Facts Cancer
Element: Water, the element associated with feelings, moods, intuition, psychic vibes, love and sensitivity.
Planetary Ruler: The Moon. This luminary represents the nocturnal side of our psyche, our unconscious. Instinct, habit, moods, imagination, feeling and receptivity are all associated with the moon.
Cosmic House: The 4th House, the angle of the cosmic wheel that rules the home and family. Our mother or as some astrologers believe the more passive parent also falls under the rulership of the 4th House along with our deepest unconscious needs and each person’s sense of security. The 4th House is known as an angular house in astrology meaning this is a very powerful angle on the astrological wheel.

Crystals: moonstone, chryscolla and howlite.
Colors: silver, white and sea greens.
Best Cosmic Coupling: Pisces and Scorpio.
Modality: Cardinal, meaning this is a sign that likes to initiate, instigate and start things.
The moon is right at home in the sign of Cancer because it’s the ruler of Cancer. When a planet is in the sign it rules it’s called domicile. When we combine the element of new beginnings associated with a new moon and Cancer’s link to home it isn’t a stretch to say our homes and living spaces can take center stage. Some of us may be contemplating a move of home, make renovations to our current living space or maybe buying something new to spruce up our home. As mentioned earlier, our mother is associated with Cancer, the moon and the 4th House. With this in mind, our relationship with our mother may take on greater significance during a new moon in Cancer. A new moon in Cancer can also be a time when we spend more time with our family like attending a family reunion.
Jupiter and the New Moon in Cancer
Jupiter the planet of expansion, good fortune, good luck, abundance, faith and generosity will be conjunct this new moon. When Jupiter conjuncts the moon we get a boost of good feelings, happiness and feeling protected. Parties and social gatherings can also be indicated when Jupiter and the moon meet. Jupiter is considered the “great benefic” in astrology meaning it typically comes along bearing gifts. Doom scrolling on social media is out and feel good vibes are in.
Have a great new moon in Cancer everyone and we hope to see you in the store soon. Take care.
