A Week of Activating Inner Needs
June 30 - July 6, 2025
Until Wednesday afternoon, Luna, ruler of the season, travels through spacious terrain. In the waxing crescent phase, detach from everyday demands and indulge in extra sleep, literature, or film. Let your mind wander and your soul drift with the tides. Cancer Season, in general, isn’t about logic, productivity, or action. It’s a season of grounding into your needs—of tuning into what lies beneath and within. You might call it our shy season. The waxing crescent phase invites detachment and surrender.
Don’t judge yourself if you call in sick, leave the laundry undone, or skip a social engagement that feels too demanding. Don’t judge your mind if it’s adrift, unfocused, or wandering without direction. It’s all part of the process—and sometimes, that process needs slack.
By Wednesday’s First Quarter Moon, the ‘adrift’ mode may start to make more sense. You might hear your inner voice say:
“I needed softness to see what naturally nourishes my soul.”
or
“Those unproductive days led me to deeper dreams I wouldn’t have reached in my usual ‘on’ mode.”
So, back off. Ease up. Let go into a rich and luminous inner dreamscape.
As Wednesday unfolds, impulses begin to surface—direction rising from the inner terrain. If you were Alice wandering Wonderland, now you realize: you’re seeking the Red Queen’s castle. There is an agenda—but it exists within the imaginative realm. This is a metaphor for mapping your inner world.
In more grounded terms, the First Quarter Moon could spark a desire to clean your home, begin home-based projects, or shift direction in family matters. You may suddenly feel a need for more security, the urge to build a fence/create a boundary/go into your shell, or bring a new awareness of how to support—or create—your support systems. Notice how inner mapping is inspiring outer motion.
The Week in Transits
Venus conjunct Uranus & Venus in Gemini
Wednesday, July 2nd
Under the twilight sky (in the US), Venus will conjunct Uranus at the final degree of Taurus. This is Venus’ home sign, but she’s now in an otherworldly space—preparing for a new realm, seeking inspiration and magical assistance. Think fairy godmother energy. In Taurus, this may stir material dreams, new visions of beauty, or a longing to feel more embodied. But in conjunction with Uranus, something gets shaken up.
People you meet, ideas you encounter, or sudden insights could flip your values upside down. What once felt like a guiding principle may no longer fit as you glimpse life from a radically different angle. Events may arise—or things you witness—that shift your desires in freeing, original ways.
A few hours later, still in the US morning, Venus enters Gemini (Uranus follows next Monday—a big moment I’m excited to write about soon). As Venus moves into Gemini, what once felt black and white begins to fragment into a thousand shimmering possibilities.
Curiosity and activation begin to infuse our sense of value and beauty, morality and design. We move from molding our longings with care and focus to frolicking through wildflower fields of variety. What once seemed singular becomes ten things depending on your perspective. The vase you lovingly shaped with your hands now:
holds flowers
props up books
represents a learning journey
sparks conversation
mirrors your identity
Still in her fairy godmother phase of the synodic cycle, Venus now seeks assistance from intellectuals, community gatherers, chance encounters in lines or concerts, or messages through books and learning. Desire may suddenly feel vast, paradoxical, and multidimensional.
At the heart of Venus’ current journey is Aries energy.
What boldness are you dreaming of?
What independence are you craving?
What doorway to a new world might help you awaken that fire within?
Watch for spritely luminary energies—subtle, strange, inspiring. They may hold breadcrumbs and keys to unfamiliar, magical paths.
Honorable Mention

Pressure to refine the structure and depth of new projects. Initiative may be needed to align passion with integrity.
