This new moon offers us a deep opportunity to pause in a place of stillness and reconnect with our physical bodies as a place of home, safety, and nourishment.  Each and every one of us has a particular Authority inside our bodies that can safely & easily navigate us through even the most daunting & shocking situations. Are you finally ready to trust your body to keep you safe, come what may?

June 25th, 2025 at 12:31am HST / 3:31am PST at 4° Cancer

New Moons always mark the beginning of a new cycle, a reset, and a fresh start. This New Moon is connected back to the cycle that reached its culmination around January 13, 2024.  This cycle has been related to ideas around safety, home, family, nurturing, self-love, and self-care – really how your nourish and parent yourself.  Since January, a chapter related to these topics has been wrapping up and completing. 
Now that this previous chapter is complete, it’s time to begin a new one – this time with a more positive, optimistic, and expansive sense of what is nourishing & supportive for you so that you can be of greater service to others…
Ruled by the Moon herself, Cancer in its Quintessence is all about SAFETY.  Often times this is translated into ideas around home, physical dwelling, family, family of origin, ancestors, the mother or maternal bloodline, the physical body, and our emotional well-being.* 
In its healed expression Cancer is nurturing, protective, caring, empathetic, compassionate, self-soothing, sensitive, healing, and intuitive.
In its unhealed expression it can be smothering, needy, worried, overly emotional, overly sensitive, moody, afraid of abandonment, insecure, or overly fearful.
*Over the years, I’ve found that sometimes this traditional imagery of Cancer (home, family, mother) were in fact not safe places for many of us – and so I invite you to take a moment to consider – what is it that makes you feel safe personally?

Are you ready for a reset in your relationship to your body, so that you feel safe & supported inside this beautiful vessel you inhabit?

ASPECTS TO THE Gemini NEW MOON

The New Moon occurs at 4° Cancer and will be engaged in the following aspects:
__________
  • Conjunct (aligned with) Jupiter at 3° Cancer: 
    • Jupiter is known as the Great Benefic, or the King of the Gods, and as the largest planet in our solar system, he expands everything he touches.  Joined together with the New Moon in Cancer, Jupiter brings a sense of optimism to the new moon intentions we set into place at this time. This expansion ripples out into our beliefs about what is possible for us related to new beginnings as we explore what safety, home, family, and real nurturing mean to us.
  • Sextiled (supported by) Mars at 4° Virgo: 
    • If I had to choose just one word to describe Mars it would be energy. As the representative of the Divine Masculine and the Spiritual Warrior, Mars gives us the passion, drive, and motivation to take inspired action and move forward with our new moon intentions at this time. In the sign of Virgo, Mars supporting this new moon may give you the energy to finally take care of those detailed tasks that have been sitting on your to-do list for far too long (you know the ones…) and the act of finally accomplishing these things may make you more grounded & nourished.
  • Squared (challenged by) Neptune at 2° Aries & Saturn at 2° Aries: 
    • Neptune has recently moved into Aries, and has been joined there by Saturn.  Saturn & Neptune in Pisces helped us to become responsible for our dreams. Now, Saturn & Neptune in Aries are asking us to become responsible for taking inspired action and moving forward on those dreams. Square to the New Moon in Cancer, Saturn & Neptune in Aries are helping us to find the courage, passion, drive & motivation to becoming the Authority in our lives (instead of outsourcing this to others). With the challenge of the square, we can feel confused or even delusional in believing that a certain leader or authority figure might save us from the chaos that we’re presented with at this time – but the deeper opportunity presented with this new moon is to see our relationship with our individual Authority (whether you have Sacral Authority, Emotional Authority, Splenic, etc) as a spiritual practice. (Eg. Communing with your Sacral Response, or being in a space of patience & deep listening with your Solar Plexus if you have Emotional Authority).

Are you ready to deepen your relationship with your body, so that you can actually receive its guidance as we navigate these Astrologically & geopolitically challenging times?

Are you ready to put in the time, effort, energy, and hard work to decondition from allowing your mind to run your life, and allowing it to obsessively spiral in cortisol & adrenaline as you scroll from one headline to the next?

The New Moon in the 52nd Gate/Gene Key asks us to sink into a place of deep stillness – away from all the shocking headlines, political fearmongering, and online bickering – away from all the stress & cacophony of fear in the collective…

The Stillpoint is a place deep within your physical body, down in your root center.  Here there is enormous beneficial pressure & tension that can move you forward in powerful ways, if only you take the time to pull back… to TRUST… to restrain your mind’s desire to interfere in the grand plan of your life out of fear & distrust that it IS in fact, ALL working out for your good & in your favor.

The mind is meddlesome, and is maniacally obsessed with trying to control your life with all of its calculations & mental predictions… but during the dark of this New Moon a deep and vast opportunity opens before you…

Can you harness your energy, restraining your mind’s obsession with trying to figure everything out, and instead become the eye of the storm… the stillpoint at the apex of the wave… where you can see how well-resourced you already are?

I shared a beautiful & inspiring transmission for this Gate/Gene Key in the Audios for The Synthesis Membership.  

In the Synthesis Membership, for each Full Moon and New Moon, I share 3 audio transmissions that are usually around 20-50 minutes each:

____

  • An overview of the Full/New Moon in the particular sign.
  • Diving into the details of the various Planetary Aspects that are also involved in the conversation.
  • Exploring the correspondences of the Full/New Moon to the Human Design Gates and Gene Keys.
