New Moon in Cancer 2025: A Weekend to Reconnect

New Moon in Cancer 2025: A Weekend to Reconnect

Coming Home to Yourself: The Cancer New Moon & A Weekend to Realign

There’s something deeply special about the New Moon in Cancer—a time when the cosmos gently whispers, “Come home to yourself.” This year, the Cancer New Moon falls on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, and it arrives with far more than the usual energetic softness. It’s nestled within a rare and powerful astrological moment—a Jupiter Cazimi on June 24 and a Yod (“Finger of God”) formation involving Pluto and Mars.

As if by divine design, our Winter Weekend Getaway in Hill River (June 27–29) falls perfectly in this energetic window, offering the ideal container to reset, release, and realign. In the stillness of the bush, under wide winter skies, we’ll gather to slow down, reconnect, and receive the wisdom of this sacred lunar portal.

Let’s explore what makes this particular New Moon so potent—and why your mind, body, and soul may be craving this exact pause.

The Heart of Cancer Energy

Cancer is the divine feminine embodied—nurturing, intuitive, soft yet strong. Ruled by the Moon, it governs our emotional world, our inner child, our connection to family and home, and our ability to nourish both ourselves and others.

Where Aries launches and Capricorn builds, Cancer tends to. It waters. It listens. And under a New Moon in this sign, we’re asked to come back to our core needs—safety, emotional clarity, true belonging—and tend to the parts of ourselves that we often brush aside in the busyness of everyday life.

This is a time for:

  • Deep rest and emotional nourishment
  • Listening to the body’s cues and gut instinct
  • Reassessing the emotional climate of your relationships
  • Reclaiming rituals that make you feel grounded and whole

According to astrologers like Kaypacha, this lunation isn’t just about setting intentions. It’s about feeling your way into them. Cancer teaches us that manifestation doesn’t begin in the mind—it begins in the body, the breath, the waters of our emotional world.

Enter the Jupiter Cazimi – Expansion Through Purification

Just one day before the New Moon, the cosmos gifts us with a Jupiter Cazimi—a moment when Jupiter is “in the heart of the Sun” (exact conjunction), purified and reborn through solar light. Jupiter represents expansion, abundance, higher wisdom, and spiritual growth, and this alignment makes those qualities temporarily supercharged, visible, and deeply accessible.

This is a rare chance to see clearly where growth is needed, and where it’s being offered. But this isn’t blind optimism—it’s sacred clarity. This is where your dreams and your shadow meet.

Heather Eland (Astrology with Heather) describes this week as one of the most pivotal of the year, as the Cancer New Moon forms a Yod—a rare aspect pattern known as the “Finger of God”—with Pluto (deep transformation) and Mars (action and drive).

Combined with squares to Saturn (discipline, limitation) and Neptune (illusion, dreams), we’re being asked to confront and clear emotional, psychological, or even ancestral blocks before we can truly receive Jupiter’s blessings.

This isn’t your average manifesting moon—it’s more like a spiritual detox.

You may feel called to:

  • Break free from perfectionism or control
  • Set clear, loving emotional boundaries
  • Heal fear-based patterns that have kept you small
  • Reconnect with joy, intuition, and inner peace

Why This Matters for Your Body and Nervous System

While all of this might sound intense, it’s also a deeply healing window—especially if you create space to process and embody the shifts.

Your nervous system is your bridge between mind and body. When we don’t process emotional tension, it gets stored—often showing up as fatigue, burnout, or digestive upset. Cancer rules the gut and stomach—our emotional centre. So this moon offers an invitation to cleanse not just your thoughts, but your entire system.

This is why we’re so intentional with the rhythm of our Winter Escape weekend:

  • Wholefood nourishment that soothes the gut and supports detox
  • Mindset coaching to gently uncover stuck beliefs
  • Time in nature to reset your circadian rhythm and reconnect with Earth’s wisdom
  • Restorative movement and mindfulness practices to rewire your stress response
  • Evening sound healing sessions to help process emotion, reset your energy, and soothe the nervous system

It’s about embodiment, not escape. A chance to meet yourself exactly where you are—with kindness, compassion, and truth.

The Gift of a Conscious Pause

So often we push through. We plan, perform, and people-please.

But what if the most powerful shift you could make right now is to pause? To sit in stillness. To listen to the wisdom rising from within. To not only ask, “What do I want?” but “What do I truly need?”

The energy of this New Moon and Jupiter Cazimi calls us to:

  • Rewrite limiting stories with softness, not force
  • Honour our emotional cycles and needs
  • Trust that slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind—it means aligning

And it’s not something you have to do alone.

A Weekend Aligned with the Cosmos

When we set the dates for our Winter Getaway in Hill River (June 27–29), we didn’t know the cosmic timing would be this aligned. But here we are—on sacred land, beneath open skies, in the days following one of the most energetically charged New Moons of the year.

This retreat is intentionally limited to a small group, creating space for:

  • Genuine connection
  • Personal reflection
  • Deep nourishment of body, mind, and spirit

We’ll gather around the fire, share meals made with love, learn from each other, and honour the cycles within and without. Each evening, we’ll also come together for sound healing, using vibration and frequency to clear the energetic body, deepen the integration, and create space for peace.

This isn’t about doing more.
 It’s about remembering who you are when you do less.

New Moon Takeaway

The New Moon in Cancer conjunct Jupiter is a sacred nudge to come home to yourself—your inner knowing, your emotions, your body’s wisdom.

Yes, it may ask you to face some truth. Yes, it might stir something buried. But in doing so, it creates space for lightness, freedom, and real expansion.

If you’ve been feeling the call to rest, to re-centre, to reconnect with your health and inner rhythm—this is your cosmic permission slip.

And if you’re ready to say yes to yourself in a big, beautiful, grounded way—join us in Hill River.

A Weekend Getaway in Sync with the Moon

A Weekend Getaway in Sync with the Moon

As we gather for our Weekend Getaway in Hill River, Jurien Bay (April 4th – 6th), the universe is aligning with us in the most powerful way, we are in sync with the moon. We are moving from the Waxing Crescent Moon into the First Quarter Moon on the morning of April 5th—a transition that mirrors our own journey of growth, intention-setting, and transformation. The waxing crescent represents new beginnings, the spark of inspiration, and the excitement of possibility. It’s a time to set intentions, trust our intuition, and celebrate the small steps that lead to big shifts. And what better way to honour this than by immersing ourselves in nature, nourishing our bodies, and embracing deep restoration with sound healing sessions on both Friday and Saturday night under the stars?

In Sync with the Moon: Waxing Crescent & First Quarter Moon – A Time to Grow & Align

The Waxing Crescent Moon is a powerful reminder that growth happens gradually. It invites us to plant seeds, set intentions, and trust in the journey ahead. As we move into the First Quarter Moon, this energy strengthens—it’s like the universe saying, “You’ve got this! Now is the time to step forward.” The moon is growing brighter, shifting from dark to light, and it calls us to do the same. Whether it’s making small shifts in how we care for ourselves, letting go of what no longer serves us, or stepping into a life that feels more energised and aligned, this moon phase is our cosmic coach, cheering us on.

This is the perfect time to check in with our intentions, embrace new possibilities, and find balance—just like the half-lit moon reminds us. Not too much work, not too much play—just the right mix of action and flow. And that’s exactly what this retreat is about. Simple, everyday choices that create a life that feels good.

Sound Healing & The Moon’s Energy

On both Friday and Saturday night, we’ll gather for deeply restorative sound healing sessions, drawing on the powerful energy of the Waxing Crescent and First Quarter Moons. As the moon shifts and builds in strength, the healing vibrations of sound will help clear away old energy, create space for new intentions, and bring a sense of harmony within. It’s about tuning in, realigning, and stepping into our strength with ease.

This weekend fits perfectly with the timing of the moon. As we rise with the sun, move our bodies, nourish ourselves with whole foods, and rest under the night sky, we are moving in sync with nature’s rhythm—just as we were always meant to.

The Power of Choosing You

The Waxing Crescent and First Quarter Moons remind us that we are always growing, always evolving. It’s a time to trust ourselves, take bold steps, and embrace change—all in a way that feels right for us. Whether it’s committing to more rest, making healthier choices, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down, this weekend is about choosing you.

For those who missed out this time, keep an eye out for our next retreat—we’ll be gathering again soon. Until then, let the moon be your guide: step forward, find balance, and trust that you are exactly where you need to be.

 

The Life-Changing Benefits of Camping Outdoors

The Life-Changing Benefits of Camping Outdoors

Reconnect with Nature: The Life-Changing Benefits of Camping Outdoors

In a world that never stops moving, where our days are filled with screens, notifications, and deadlines, it’s easy to feel disconnected—from ourselves, from others, and from the natural world. But what if the key to feeling more alive, more present, and more in tune with life was as simple as stepping outside?

Camping isn’t just about sleeping in a tent; it’s an opportunity to completely reset. When you immerse yourself in the great outdoors, you gain more than just fresh air. Nature has an incredible way of healing, grounding, and revitalising both body and mind. Let’s explore the powerful benefits of camping and why embracing the outdoors is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

1. Breathe in Fresh Air & Boost Your Health

The first thing you notice when you step into nature is the air—crisp, clean, and invigorating. Unlike the polluted air of the city, the air in natural settings is filled with oxygen-rich goodness, thanks to the abundance of trees and plant life.

Fresh air improves lung function, boosts immunity, and even enhances digestion. Breathing deeply in nature increases oxygen flow to the brain, helping with clarity, focus, and reducing stress levels. It’s no wonder we feel instantly lighter and more refreshed when we escape into the wild.

2. The Sounds of Nature: Your Natural Stress Reliever

When was the last time you truly listened—to the rustling of leaves, the waves crashing on the shore, the birds singing at sunrise? These sounds aren’t just beautiful; they’re scientifically proven to lower stress levels and promote relaxation.

Nature’s symphony works wonders on the nervous system, reducing anxiety and improving mood. The rhythmic sound of waves can slow heart rate and breathing, while birdsong triggers a sense of calm and connection. Unlike the jarring noises of city life, natural sounds have a grounding effect, bringing us back to the present moment.

3. Grounding: Connecting with the Earth’s Energy

One of the simplest and most powerful things you can do while camping is to take off your shoes and feel the earth beneath your feet. This practice, known as grounding (or earthing), has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and balance the body’s energy systems.

When we walk barefoot on natural surfaces like sand, grass, or soil, we absorb the earth’s natural electrical charge, which has profound effects on our physical and mental health. It’s a natural detox for the body and a reminder of our deep connection to the planet.

4. Digital Detox: Unplugging to Reconnect

We live in a hyper-connected world where our attention is constantly pulled in a million directions. Social media, emails, and work notifications can leave us feeling drained, distracted, and overwhelmed. Camping offers the perfect chance to switch off and step away from the digital noise.

When you disconnect from technology, you reconnect with yourself. You start noticing the little things—the colours of the sky at dusk, the scent of eucalyptus in the air, the gentle breeze on your skin. Without screens competing for attention, real conversations flow more easily, and mindfulness becomes effortless. It’s a powerful reminder that life exists beyond the four walls of our daily routines.

5. Sleep Like Never Before

If you’ve ever struggled with sleep, spending time outdoors might be the perfect remedy. Our modern lifestyles often disrupt our natural sleep-wake cycles due to artificial lighting and excessive screen time. But when we camp, we align with the natural rhythm of the sun and stars.

Waking up with the sunrise and winding down with the sunset helps reset our body’s internal clock. Exposure to natural light during the day and darkness at night regulates melatonin production, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep. Plus, the fresh air, physical activity, and relaxed mind make drifting off to sleep under the stars one of the most rejuvenating experiences ever.

6. Strengthen Your Mind & Body

Camping isn’t just about relaxation; it’s an opportunity to challenge yourself physically and mentally. Whether it’s setting up your tent, going on a coastal walk, or simply navigating the natural terrain, outdoor experiences engage the body in ways that a gym never could.

Spending time in nature also strengthens mental resilience. Problem-solving, adapting to new surroundings, and embracing the unpredictability of the outdoors teach us patience, confidence, and adaptability—skills that translate into everyday life.

7. Reignite Your Sense of Adventure

As kids, we were naturally curious and adventurous, but as adults, we often lose that sense of wonder. Camping has a way of bringing it back. Whether it’s discovering a hidden trail, spotting wildlife, or marvelling at the vastness of the night sky, nature has a way of reigniting our excitement for life.

The outdoors reminds us that there is so much more beyond our routines. It encourages us to be present, to explore, and to embrace the beauty of the unknown.

8. Deepen Your Connection with Others

Camping creates the perfect setting for genuine connection. Without distractions, conversations become deeper, laughter flows freely, and shared experiences create lasting bonds. Whether you’re camping solo, with friends, or meeting like-minded people at a retreat, the simplicity of nature brings people closer together.

When we spend time outdoors with others, we communicate more openly, we share stories, and we experience the joy of human connection in its most authentic form. It’s a reminder that the best memories are often the simplest ones.
