Hi friends, how are we doing? Today, we’re diving into the Cancer New Moon, one of the most karmically significant lunations of 2025. I’ll walk you through the astrology behind this turning point and share rising sign horoscopes to help you align with the shift. This New Moon isn’t just about starting something new—it’s about building something real.
The Astrology of the Cancer New Moon
This New Moon arrives at 4° Cancer, a degree tied to Saturn’s energy—structure, commitment, and long-term stability. That alone tells us this lunation is meant to last. But we’re not just building anything. We’re building what matters.
Jupiter and Saturn: The Spiritual Tension Field
Jupiter is now in Cancer and conjunct the Sun and Moon—forming what I call a “holy trinity” of expansive potential. But it’s squaring Saturn in Aries. These two planets last met in 2020 at 0° Aquarius, launching a global restructure. Now, the square brings accountability. Jupiter wants us to dream and expand, but Saturn wants us to ground it with discipline and maturity.
This is a pressure cooker between comfort (Jupiter in Cancer) and growth (Saturn in Aries). You may feel emotionally overwhelmed. You may crave your old routines. But Saturn is saying, “If you want to lead your life differently, you have to act differently.”
Jupiter Square Neptune: Shifting Spiritual Definitions
We’re also working with a square between Jupiter and Neptune, asking us to confront disillusionment around who we thought we were. Neptune in Aries is breaking illusions of identity, while Jupiter is asking us to create new spiritual comfort zones based on the truth of today. There’s a redefining of belief systems happening here—especially about who we are and how we lead.
Sabian Symbol: The Cat and the Mouse
The Sabian symbol for this New Moon (Cancer 4°) is “A cat arguing with a mouse.” It speaks to self-justification, internal ambiguity, and the traps of pacifying ourselves. Jupiter in Cancer wants comfort, wants mama, wants the binky—but Saturn is like, “You’re 75 years old. Why are you still sucking on a binky?”
It’s time to grow up emotionally. Wherever you’ve been self-soothing in ways that hold you back—especially where you have Cancer in your chart—it’s time to stop pacifying and start building.
♈ Aries Rising
The New Moon activates the most private part of your chart—your inner world, your home, and your roots. It’s not just about rearranging furniture—it’s about becoming the architect of your sanctuary. Jupiter brings a wave of emotional expansion here, stirring your desire to nurture, protect, and belong. But Saturn in your 1st house reminds you: before you can lead others or build a home, you must lead yourself. This lunation is a spiritual checkpoint about what family means to you, and how you choose to show up for it. If you’ve been over-giving or playing the hero without boundaries, now’s the time to realign. Leadership begins within.
Karmic Prompt: Where do you need stronger self-discipline in order to become the protector of your own peace?
♉ Taurus Rising
This New Moon clears space in your mind and your voice. It’s not about being louder—it’s about being truer. Jupiter is expanding your thoughts, giving you a new lens to express emotion and vulnerability. But with Saturn in your 12th, fears from the past—ancestral programming, childhood silence, guilt loops—may try to block your voice. You’re rewriting an inner script that told you to stay quiet for survival. Now, your truth is your compass. The world doesn’t need you to be perfect—it needs you to be real. Speak with soul. Write from the places you’ve healed. Name what was once unnamed.
Karmic Prompt: Are you ready to speak the truth you’ve been holding in since childhood?
♊ Gemini Rising
This New Moon is planting seeds in your values and your self-worth. Yes, money is involved—but this goes deeper. Jupiter is asking, “What would you build if you believed you were already enough?” Your sense of worth is expanding, and with it, your capacity to receive. But Saturn in your 11th house insists you become more discerning with your social ecosystem. Not everyone in your current circle is aligned with your future. Some are attachments to your old self. Trust that releasing relationships is not rejection—it’s refinement. Create wealth that aligns with your inner code.
Karmic Prompt: Are your networks nourishing your next-level vision—or draining your value?
♋ Cancer Rising
This is your New Moon. It’s personal. It’s powerful. It’s a rebirth of how you show up in the world. Jupiter is blessing your identity with a wave of confidence, but Saturn in your 10th house is holding you accountable: what’s your long-term legacy? What systems are you building that support the adult version of you? This New Moon wants you to stop outsourcing authority and start claiming your role as leader. If your career is shifting, trust it’s making space for something more aligned. Shed the skin of self-sacrifice. Rise as the version of you that leads with emotional intelligence and inner authority.
Karmic Prompt: Who are you when you stop apologizing for taking up space?
♌ Leo Rising
This lunation opens the doors to your subconscious, illuminating a sacred part of your spiritual journey. Jupiter in the 12th house amplifies your dreams, your intuition, and your karmic clearing—but Saturn in the 9th is cracking down on outdated belief systems. It’s time to question inherited truths. The religion, dogma, or moral code you grew up with may no longer fit. This New Moon is a quiet revolution—a chance to reconnect to your divine compass. Let silence teach you. Let dreams speak louder than doctrine. Your power is found in what you’re finally ready to release.
Karmic Prompt: What inherited belief no longer holds truth for the soul you’ve become?
♍ Virgo Rising
New friends. New futures. New rules. This New Moon is activating your 11th house of vision, community, and higher purpose. Jupiter says it’s time to build the tribe that matches your next chapter. But Saturn in your 8th house won’t let you skip the hard part: intimacy. Can you be seen fully in community? Can you receive support without trying to earn it? This lunation is about soul-level collaboration—but only if you stop micromanaging your emotional safety. Let others meet you at depth. It’s not about being right. It’s about being real.
Karmic Prompt: Where do you withhold vulnerability to maintain control?
♎ Libra Rising
You’re being asked to lead from the soul. This New Moon in your 10th house of purpose, status, and visibility wants you to define success on your terms. Jupiter says, “Trust your intuition—it will guide your career.” But Saturn in your 7th brings a reality check: certain relationships may be misaligned. Whether it’s a business partner, client, or lover, you’re being asked to renegotiate your contracts. Some partnerships will deepen. Others must end. Follow your gut. Real success requires real integrity.
Karmic Prompt: What relationships need boundaries in order for your purpose to thrive?
♏ Scorpio Rising
Your worldview is shifting. The New Moon in your 9th house is seeding a new spiritual framework. Jupiter invites you to explore new traditions, teachers, or philosophical paths. But Saturn in your 6th house says: “Don’t just dream it—live it daily.” You can’t meditate on a mountaintop then forget to drink water. This lunation is about integration. Let your spirituality show up in your food, your habits, your calendar. Be the priestess of your own day-to-day life.
Karmic Prompt: How do your daily rituals reflect (or contradict) your spiritual truths?
♐ Sagittarius Rising
This New Moon lands in your 8th house of intimacy, soul contracts, and power. Jupiter wants to help you deepen your bonds—but first, Saturn in the 5th asks: are you giving away your power in exchange for attention? This lunation is about reclaiming what’s sacred—your energy, your sensuality, your creativity. Stop settling for shallow. Stop playing small. The people who truly deserve your magic are the ones who honor your boundaries.
Karmic Prompt: What part of your power have you been trading for approval?
♑ Capricorn Rising
Love is shifting. The New Moon in your 7th house opens the door to soul-aligned partnerships, whether romantic, professional, or both. Jupiter wants you to feel safe enough to receive—but Saturn in your 4th house is clearing out unresolved family patterns that block emotional intimacy. You may be asked to move, redefine “home,” or face childhood roots. Remember: a healthy partnership begins with a stable foundation within.
Karmic Prompt: What past pain must you confront so you can trust again?
♒ Aquarius Rising
Your body is the oracle. The New Moon in your 6th house is offering you a new way to relate to your health, your work, and your routines. Jupiter is expanding your emotional awareness—but Saturn in your 3rd says your mind must lead the way. You can’t keep treating your body like a science project. Feel first, then act. Slow down. Ground your nervous system. Health isn’t just about results—it’s about relationship.
Karmic Prompt: What would change if you treated your body like a beloved teacher?
♓ Pisces Rising
This is a New Moon for your heart. In your 5th house of creativity, children, romance, and joy, Jupiter says: express yourself. Love louder. Make art. But Saturn in your 2nd house reminds you to anchor your passions in sustainability. Are you investing in your joy like it’s a long-term asset—or treating it like a luxury? You’re allowed to make money doing what you love. But first, you must believe it’s worth it.
Karmic Prompt: Where have you labeled your joy as “extra” instead of essential?
🌱 A Final Word
This New Moon sets a tone for the next three years. If you plant something now—with intention, structure, and emotional maturity—it will grow.
