Cancer New Moon – A Seeding Point of the Soul

This Cancer New Moon is a potent seeding point – a fertile moment within your creative womb space, inviting you to feel deeply, nourish gently, and dream expansively.

With the Sun and Moon conjoined in the sign of Cancer, we are pulled inward – into the waters of memory, emotion, and ancestral wisdom. This lunation offers a sacred opportunity to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Mars in Virgo: Grounded Action, Aligned Intention

This New Moon forms a harmonious sextile to Mars in Virgo, inspiring focused, earthy action. Mars is the warrior, but in Virgo, he becomes the skilled artisan  able to serve, protect, and build with precision.

Earlier this year, Mars moved through Cancer. He knows this terrain. He’s learned the language of emotion, softness, and protection. Cancer is familiar with the wisdom of Mars, which supports a cutting through of what stands in the way of your purest expression of heart aligned truth. Now, Mars supports Cancer with practical tools, helping you take action that supports the vulnerable, tender parts of yourself, to align with your creative process.

This is the moment to tend to your inner self. To not only dream, but to take the first small, steady steps to bring your vision to life.

What seed are you ready to plant? 
Where is movement being called for? 
What action feels like self-nourishment, rather than pressure?

Neptune & Saturn: Sacred Tension Between Dream and Discipline

At the same time, this Moon squares both Neptune and Saturn – a signature of tension between what we long for and what were still learning to hold responsibly.

Neptune may blur the path, inviting dreams, illusions, and spiritual depth – but not always clarity. Saturn, in contrast, brings the call to mature. To build foundations. To honor time and truth. Together, in the fire sign of Aries, they can bring a boundary and structure, with a starting point, to your vision quest.

This square invites you to balance dream with discipline. To ground your vision in form – even if the path ahead still feels mysterious.

Jupiter in Cancer: Expansion Through the Feminine

Jupiter, recently moved into Cancer and sitting close to this New Moon, adds a sense of blessing, abundance, and emotional wisdom. Jupiter is the archetype of Zeus – expansive, truth-seeking, and illuminating. In Cancer, he becomes a benevolent guardian of the feminine, the womb, the sacred waters of life.

This is a rare and beautiful combination – Jupiter and the Moon, both at home in Cancer, nurturing your growth with cosmic love and protection. Cancer is the ascendant ruler of the Thema Mundi – the birth chart of the Universe, and Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer. Feel into this seeding point with an open heart and mind to be guided and aligned with your highest expression of self, your dharma, your sacred place in the collective.

What old ways have you shed to make room for this? 
What is now asking to be deeply nourished, from a mature and heart-led place?

Winter Solstice & Southern Hemisphere Reflections

In the Southern Hemisphere, we’ve just crossed the threshold of Winter Solstice – the return of the light. And yet, we remain in the womb of winter. We are still being cradled in the dark, in the quiet.

This is the time to dream.

This is the time to listen inward – not rush outward.

You are not behind. 
You are deepening.

The Inner Paradigm Shift

2025 has been a year of profound transition. So many outer planets have changed signs and houses. The collective is shifting  and so are you. This Cancer New Moon signals a changing of the guard within: a new internal authority is rising.

You may not yet have the words for it, but trust that amidst all of this inner work and long dark nights, something new is percolating, rising to the surface, to be birthed when the timing is right. With Saturn involved, we can learn to surrender to divine timing. Whilst creative flows and insights move fast, the materialisation of them are often slower. This is the medicine of integration, the gift we receive through co-creation, not pushing.

May we dream big.

May we tend to ourselves with kindness, understanding and care.

May we tend to others with the same.

Much love,
