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.
