A Week of Seeding Deeper Meaning
June 23 - 29, 2025
We move into the New Moon week of Cancer Season on Wednesday morning. In the days leading up to it, it's a powerful time to gain perspective on intuition, safety, and care. What do you want to aim for? How do you want to expand your foundations, your sense of home, and your nourishing practices?
The Cancer New Moon arrives very early Wednesday morning (MT), marking a few days of both pressure and solidification around intentions seeded at last year’s Cancer New Moon. Notice what is manifesting—or what hasn’t—when it comes to creating comfort, renewing home and family energy, purging old family or ancestral narratives, and feeling fresh passion around what truly nourishes you.
As the weight of what is culminating settles in, this pressure activates new seed dreams aligned with Cancerian energy. Once again, we are gifted a year of fresh impulses and a yearning for a new order around safety, home, and emotional depth. With the Draconic zodiac nearly aligned with the Tropical zodiac, this past year has carried a theme of seeding new structure—calling forth Tower moments, in tarot terms. It’s been hungry, eager, and assertive energy. As we witness a world in war mode, notice, in smaller and less destructive ways, how your own life may be purging what no longer works, making space for a surge of passion and vitality in multiple areas.
Just like last year’s Cancer New Moon, this is a time to set intentions around what you want to revive from the depths of your soul, to rewrite stories of safety, and to clarify what you long to nourish—and be nourished by.
And while you're at it, consider who is included in your desires for safety and security. Cancer loves boundaries and a well-built fence around sacred space, but it also has a deep instinct to nurture the vulnerable and care for life itself. In a state of fear, Cancer energy can become overly nationalistic, fiercely guarding only what it claims as its own. But if our intentions for protection align with Pluto’s deeper call for power returned to the people, we may begin to ripple waves of change—creating safety not just for ourselves, but for humanity as a whole.
The Week in Transits
Jupiter Conjunct Sun (Cazimi)
Tuesday, June 24th at 9:17 am MT
Some call this yearly transit the luckiest day of the year. In my view, conjunctions with the Sun have a twofold nature: they bring both moments of awakening and ego death. How we experience this depends on our personal journey and readiness.
The Sun, as the central body in our system, symbolizes consciousness, spirituality, and the causal layer of existence. When another planet enters its heart (cazimi), it becomes momentarily purified, illuminated. Take note of what new dream stirs within. What archetypal energies are emerging—either in new shades and tones or in entirely unfamiliar forms?
With Jupiter as the conjunct planet, these stirrings may relate to your role as a guide, teacher, preacher, professor, explorer, journalist, or storyteller. In Cancer, this can evoke a longing to be more emotionally attuned—to share your perspective with deeper intuition, care, and vulnerability. We might call this moment: seeding new soul and depth into how you share wisdom. The archetype of the Mother as Storyteller wants to awaken.
From Earth’s perspective, Jupiter is now behind the Sun—its light eclipsed. This marks an ego death in the Earth-based synodic journey of Jupiter. That journey was seeded about six months ago in Gemini, emphasizing teaching and communication around themes of connection, community, and information. But some of this energy may have originated from a less integrated place, pushing out immature or reactive beliefs. Over the past several months, we’ve seen this through philosophical squabbles and cultural turbulence. Now, something deeper beckons. If we want to expand our perspectives meaningfully, we must allow emotion to enter the story.
As this new inner alignment turns on, external events may feel unsteady. This is the dance of cosmic balance—the harmony and contrast between Sun and Earth synods.
How do the outer experiences pushing your perspectives now reveal past immaturity, even as something newly beautiful and archetypal stirs inside? Let the light of inner wisdom guide you through moments that feel uncertain or overwhelming. In about six months, when the Sun and Earth switch roles in this cycle, this newly seeded insight, or archetypal longing, will be ready to emerge in your outer life—fueling a more mature, embodied, and boundary-expanding adventure.
This week, connect to the deeper perspective that longs to awaken within you. Let it refine how you teach, share, and connect. Let it deepen your wisdom and the stories you tell.
Mercury in Leo
Thursday, June 25th at 1:09 pm MT - September 2
We’re rapidly approaching Mercury’s second of three retrograde cycles this year—all in fire signs. We’ve already moved through the Aries rewiring in early spring, and now we head into a period of rewiring in the sign of Leo.
Be sure to cross your t’s and dot your i’s before June 30th. That’s when Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow, and things begun around this time—plans, purchases, contracts—may face delays, detours, or the need to be redone. The degrees Mercury begins moving through now will be retraced during its retrograde phase later in July.
With this retrograde unfolding in Leo, keep an eye on mental patterns linked to ego that may have grown stale or stagnant. You may experience breakdowns or reevaluations in your creative expression, leadership style, or your ideas about what brings joy and meaning. Expect pressure points and moments of questioning that ultimately help you refine your self-expression and reignite your inspiration.
Mercury Opposed Pluto
Sunday, June 29th at 1:57 am MT
Occurring just before Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow, this aspect feels like a make-or-break moment in the world’s political and power dynamics. Will solutions emerge, or will discord take root? It may be a mixed bag, but one thing is clear: it’s a potent time for major revisions and deep edits—whether in policy, communication, or personal perspectives.
In our everyday lives, we may feel under the weight of powerful forces, mentally overwhelmed by external pressures far beyond our control. Alternatively, we might find ourselves offering mental or communal support, helping to hold space for the collective excavation and transformation that Pluto in Aquarius is driving.
