Theme: “Nurture, Heal & Realign”
Aligning with the Cancer New Moon
On Wednesday 25 June 2025 at 8:31 PM AEST, we welcome the New Moon in Cancer, a tender and intuitive lunation inviting emotional renewal, inner security, and a return to what truly nourishes us.
Cancer is the Moon’s natural home, making this New Moon especially powerful for resetting our emotional landscape. It brings an opportunity to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with your heart’s truth. This is a moment to tend to your inner world and gently recommit to what makes you feel safe, rooted and whole.
Let this guide support you on the New Moon and in the days that follow. Use the practices intuitively, choose one per day, repeat what feels good, and let your ritual unfold with ease.
🔮 Themes of the Cancer New Moon:
Emotional Reset – Soften, release and replenish
Inner Belonging – Come home to yourself
Heart-Led Intentions – Plant seeds from a place of truth and care
Nurturing Practices – Prioritise what soothes and supports you
The Daily Rituals
These gentle practices are meant to begin on the Cancer New Moon and unfold over the following three days. Think of them as small acts of devotion, each one offering a moment to return to yourself, attune to your emotional landscape, and tend to what truly matters. Let them be simple, soothing, and aligned with the rhythm of your own heart.
1. Sacred Water Clearing (25 June)
Practice: Fill a bowl with water and stir gently with your fingers while breathing deeply. Visualise the day’s energy being washed away.
Prompt: What emotions am I ready to release? What do I want to feel instead?
With Cacao: Sip mindfully, inviting clarity and softness.
2. Create a Comfort Corner (26 June)
Practice: Choose a corner of your home to enhance with a candle, cushion, blanket or meaningful object.
Prompt: What helps me feel safe, soothed and held?
With Cacao: Enjoy in your comfort space, setting the tone for emotional ease.
3. Write a Love Letter to Yourself (27 June)
Practice: Write a letter of appreciation to yourself, acknowledging your growth, resilience and beauty.
Prompt: What am I most proud of in myself right now?
With Cacao: Let the ritual open your heart to self-love and compassion.
4. Slow Evening Ritual (28 June)
Practice: Dim the lights, turn off your devices and enjoy a quiet night with yourself.
Prompt: What does true rest feel like for me?
With Cacao: Sip slowly and allow space for reflection and renewal.
🌑 Cancer New Moon Ritual: “Heart Womb Rebirth”
This is a special, longer ritual designed to be performed on the evening of Wednesday 25 June, just after the New Moon peaks, or the following day while the energy is still tender, receptive and rich with potential. Allow this moment to become a container for presence and deep listening—a space to reconnect with your emotional truth and plant intentions that feel nourishing, grounded and real.
Ritual Steps
1. Prepare Your Space
Light a candle (white or soft blue) to welcome peace and presence
Place a bowl of water, your journal, a pen and your ceremonial cacao nearby
2. Settle and Ground
Sit comfortably, close your eyes and breathe
Say: “I soften into safety. I welcome the wisdom of my heart.”
3. Water Blessing
Dip your fingertips into the bowl, anoint your chest and say: “I release what I no longer need. I open to nourishment.”
4. Intention Setting with Cacao
Sip your cacao slowly
Write two or three intentions that honour your emotional needs and sense of belonging
Speak them aloud to seal them into your body
5. Gentle Close
Give thanks for your heart’s voice
Pour the water onto the earth or into a plant, symbolising emotional renewal
✍🏼 Reflection Prompts After the New Moon
What feelings am I honouring right now?
How can I support myself with more care and softness?
What would it look like to live from a place of emotional truth?
Bringing It All Together
This New Moon offers a return to your inner sanctuary. Let it be a time of softening, remembering and beginning again. Let cacao guide you home, into presence, warmth and the sacred simplicity of being.
Your ritual awaits. 🌑
