Ready to feel it all? June’s new moon arrives in Cancer—the zodiac sign ruled by the moon itself—bringing emotional depth, intuitive clarity, and the hope of a fresh start. This heart-centered lunation peaks at 6:31 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, clearing the energetic slate and marking the beginning of a new lunar cycle.
With the summer solstice behind us and the second half of the year ahead, it’s a powerful moment to release old doubts and reconnect with a vision that feels emotionally true and aligned with your path.
Here’s the astrology behind the 2025 Cancer new moon—plus three rituals to work with its healing energy.
What Is a New Moon?
New moons are soft openings for hope, clarity, and intention. A new moon marks the first phase of the moon’s eight-part cycle, and in astrology, it represents a spiritual reset. When the moon is new, it disappears into darkness, save for a faint halo that glows like a silver promise. This lunar reset marks the beginning of the emotional arc of the month, culminating at the full moon and then cycling back again. It’s a moment to pause, release, and realign with your inner rhythm.
What June’s New Moon Means Spiritually
Spiritually, June’s New Moon carries a powerful message through its alignment with Jupiter, the planet of luck, growth, and inner knowing. This pairing heightens emotional sensitivity, turning subtle feelings into waves of insight. Jupiter also brings optimism and clarity, inviting you to pause, reflect, and find meaning in what arises.
Faith and feeling lead where logic can’t. Psychic downloads may be strong now, so trust your gut, consult your cards, or work with a Psychic to read your aura and uncover the energies around you.

3 Rituals to Try Under the June New Moon in Cancer
1. Saltwater Aura Cleanse Ritual
Cancer, the crab, is a water sign known for its deep emotional healing energy. If you’re looking to clear stale energy or soften your sensitivity, this saltwater aura cleanse is perfect.
You can perform this ritual by the ocean or create a new moon salt bath at home using sea salt and warm water. If you’re swimming in natural saltwater, wear light blue to align with Cancer’s calming energy. At home, light blue candles or place healing crystals to set the mood.
Prepare your saltwater and gently splash it around your aura. As you do, visualize Cancer’s protective crab shell forming around you, shielding and cleansing your psychic energy. Feel the moon’s optimistic, expansive energy flowing into your spirit. Wash away your worries.
When you finish, you’ll feel refreshed, renewed, and emotionally lighter.
2. Jupiter-Infused Dream Journal
This month’s new moon is supercharged by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, wisdom, and luck. To harness its energy, start a Jupiter dream journal—a sacred space where you can gather dreams, desires, and ephemera that align with your vision.
Dream of fame? Add stars to your journal cover. Manifesting money? Use green accents. Create with clear intention for your plans for the coming months, and don’t be afraid to dream big. If it feels good, call it in.
Before bed, hold a moon-charged crystal like moonstone or selenite and ask Jupiter to expand your dream messages. In the morning, write down any intuitive insights or psychic symbols related to your emotional growth.
Do this whenever you feel the spiritual call over the next six months and watch as your dreams begin to shape your everyday reality.
3. New Moon Tarot Reading
Cancer, the mother sign, has a deep connection to childhood, nostalgia, and the past. This new moon encourages you to reflect and release emotions that hold you back. A past-and-future tarot reading can give you the clarity to heal and move forward.
Create a safe, comfortable space—ideally at home, since Cancer rules family and the domestic sphere. Add decor that makes you feel calm and secure. When you’re ready, light incense, play some music, and cleanse your deck as you shuffle.
Draw one card with your non-dominant hand to connect with your past and inner child. Then draw a second card with your dominant hand to represent where you can take control of your future. Trust your intuition as you interpret the cards toward healing and fresh starts.
The new moon is uncovering truth; a Keen Psychic can bring it into focus.
