Swimming in the Waters of the Heart

New Moon in Cancer 6/25/25 6:31 am 4degrees 7 minutes

This new Moon in Cancer introduces us to the use of our internal navigation system. It combines intuition and personal truth with the emotional realm. With our thoughts and emotions aligned, we experience a clear way of navigating our surroundings. Jupiter will spend a year expanding our inner worlds. This New Moon in Cancer is the introduction.

The mind is easily corrupted these days. There is an external information overload that is increasingly difficult to navigate. Mercury in Cancer is guiding us to our inner world. It is through the watery inner realm that we connect with the heart. The heart is pure energy from Source that cannot be corrupted. If we can shift from solely using our minds to determine the nature of our reality and incorporate the feelings we receive from our hearts, the discernment between the two can help us navigate reality differently.

The underlying growth direction for each of us is individuation through the deconditioning process. As we shed the layers of our conditioning, we expose our true essence. This true self is heart-guided. The heart directly and inwardly connects to the Source. It holds our true purpose and authenticity. It is our inner child.

There are two points of focus with this New Moon. They are yod configurations that point to Pluto, the direction of evolution, and Mars, Pluto's bidder. The Yods point to areas of potential crisis in our lives due to the hidden nature of the cause.

Pluto's yod points to the New Moon and Mars, indicating that we won't see the purpose of the crises as being a result of not paying attention to our emotions. Mar's blind spot highlights the necessary analysis and adjustment required to shift from mind to heart.

Mar's yod points to Pluto and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. We won't see that the adjustment from our minds to our hearts leads the way to individuation. It also leads the way toward making real our new sense of self, a unique part of a magnificent whole.

Moon conjunct Sun in Cancer

The New Moon in Cancer marks the beginning of a new cycle, aligning the inner world with outer expression. Cancer refers to our emotional world, our self-image, and, ultimately, how we feel safe and secure in ourselves and the world. Given how we have expanded our perception of ourselves in recent weeks, we are now becoming inwardly secure with the expansion. Our feelings are what we observe and what give us clues to who we are on the inside.

The Sun in Cancer refers to the self-validation of our emotional world. It's about holding space for our feelings and being authentic about how we feel on the inside. This New Moon is about beginning a new cycle of internal awareness of our emotions and who we are and self-validating through a genuine expression of how we feel.

Jupiter conjunct Lunation

Jupiter in Cancer refers to the expansion of our emotional world, self-image, and ability to feel secure within ourselves. Jupiter also refers to our intuition. It is the inner knowing that doesn't follow a logical or linear flow. Linking the emotional realm with our ability to intuit our reality enhances our capacity for internal guidance, allowing us to act from within.

The closing cycle between Jupiter and the Sun shows us that the expansion of our emotional world is helping us to self-actualize a new self-image. The new phase conjunction with the Moon reveals that the expansion of our inner worlds marks the beginning of a new cycle of internal awareness, as we become more aware of who we are and who we are becoming.

Lunation/Jupiter square Saturn-Neptune

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries refers to the beginning of a new cycle where Source energy is renewing itself, and Saturn is crystallizing the new form. Source energy in its purest form is about unity. In the sign of Aries, we are referring to self-discovery of who we are as a necessary part of the whole.

The lunation is about the expansion of our identity and how we express it externally. As we expand our inner awareness of who we are, we become a more complete expression of our true selves.

The square is a "crisis in action" square concerning Jupiter and the Moon. This square requires us to make a change to discover and crystallize this new version of self. It is a choice to expand our self-image. It requires us to follow our intuition and pay attention to our emotions.

It is a "crisis in consciousness" square between the Saturn-Neptune conjunction and the Sun. To explore and embody the Piscean qualities of unity, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance, we must diverge from consensus beliefs and follow our own truth.

Lunation/Jupiter semisquare Venus

The expansion of a new self-image is related to the ability to follow our truth and intuition. It is also necessary to understand the importance of connecting to our emotional world as an internal navigating system.

Venus in Taurus is about how we relate to ourselves. It is about how we internalize our relationship with ourselves. It is associated with what we need and value. It is particularly concerned with how we value ourselves. What we value in ourselves is projected out into the world of others.

The semisquare between Venus and the Moon is a new phase semisquare. It is where the energy moves from the outward gathering experience phase to the inward anchoring of experiences, making them part of us. Since the Moon left its conjunction with Venus, we began the process of gathering experiences to identify our new value structure. We have not yet left behind our past values, but the tension we feel within is preparing us to move beyond them for the new ones we will internalize.

Lunation/Jupiter sextile Mars exact

The beginning of a new self-image aligned with its emotional field is in exact sextile to Mars in Virgo. Mars in Virgo refers to the instinctive actions associated with perfecting the self. Mars is the planet that allows us to fulfill our desires. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is moving us to break free quickly from our conditioning to uncover the uniqueness of who we are. Mars in Virgo gives us the energy and desire for self-improvement.

The exact sextile between Mars and the Moon is a last sextile. The original conjunction began June 1st when our inner world and actions started a new cycle of identifying with and taking action from a place of authenticity. In this phase, a new creative identity has formed. Identifying with our emotional world and our feelings to improve ourselves can be uncomfortable. Aligning with our emotions is the shift from past to future identity.

Mars is in a new sextile from the Sun. Acting to improve ourselves and embodying that energy supports the outward expression of our self-image and inner world. We may experience a strong desire to enhance our sense of identity.

Lunation/Jupiter inconjunct Pluto (r)

Expanding our self-image to begin a new self-image and outward expression of it is inconjunct to Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is the underlying movement of evolution that is quickening at the moment. It is the Soul's desire to empower itself by breaking free of all previous conditioning, thereby exposing the unique and authentic beings that we all are.

The inconjunct refers to the blind spot between these energies that is causing a conflict that requires adjustment. The expanding identity cannot see the Soul's desire to break free from our conditioning. Identifying with our emotions requires an internal adjustment to relieve the crisis.

Mercury trine Saturn-Neptune

Mercury is completing its journey through Cancer, where we have aligned our thoughts with the emotional realm. Mercury in Cancer is gathering information about our inner world. It helps us pay attention to emotions and links them to not only what is happening in our outer world but also incorporates the inner world.

Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries signifies the birth or rebirth of a new being. This new being aligns with unity consciousness. We are being crystallized into a new reality and exploring the new nature of reality.

Aligning our thoughts with our emotions is like linking the brain with the heart. As Mercury moves toward the exact trine, the connection between our head and heart will flow to align with the birth of the new self.

Mercury square Chiron

Mercury in Cancer aligns the thoughts and communication of those thoughts with the emotions of the heart. Our minds are constantly taking in information about the world around us to help us to stay alive and stay safe. When Mercury focuses on the emotional world and the image we present to ourselves, we see how our emotions shape our reality.

Chiron in Aries helps us to heal the collective wound that prevents us from showing up as our instinctual selves. We have all had to fit ourselves into the culture and families we were born into for generations. It has led to a mass self-suppression. The time has come to heal this wound and strive to be as instinctual as possible.

The "crisis in action" square between Mercury and Chiron reflects the growth edge of becoming our true and instinctual selves. It is about making different choices to align with the emotions that the heart generates.

Mercury sextile Uranus

Uranus in Taurus refers to the breaking apart of old, worn-out values structures. At the last degree of Taurus, it is the most intense. Our conditioning has taught us to value things like status and wealth, among other things. These values have led to the dehumanization of the "have-nots."

Mercury in Cancer aligns our thoughts with the emotional realm. It is about paying attention to the feelings that the heart generates.

The sextile between them is supportive energy. The alignment of the mind with the heart facilitates breaking free from conditioned values. The mind can be influenced by false or hidden information. The feelings that arise in the body are true, and the external world cannot influence it.

Mercury opposed Pluto (r)

Mercury is working its way into an exact opposition with Pluto retrograde. Mercury in Cancer refers to the mind aligning with the inner world. The inner world encompasses emotions, bodily sensations, and an image of oneself. With Mercury in Cancer, our thoughts and communication align with what's happening in the inner world.

Pluto retrograde is about accelerating the metamorphosis of our empowerment. Pluto in Aquarius signifies liberation from past conditioning, revealing one's true, unique essence. As we shed the layers of conditioning, what we find is our authentic selves.

The opposition between the two represents a swinging back and forth between the two poles until an equilibrium is reached. The desire to break free from the limitations that prevent us from accepting our unique selves and aligning our thoughts with our emotions are at odds with each other. As Mercury moves into the exact opposition, our minds will align with our true purpose and authenticity that arises from the heart.

Venus conjunct Uranus

Venus has moved within range of a conjunction with Uranus. Venus in Taurus refers to the embodiment of a new value structure. We discovered new personal values during Venus' transit through Aries.

Uranus, at the last degree of Taurus, represents an intense breaking apart of the outdated value structure. The values of the past paradigm prioritized money, masculinity, hierarchy, and other modes of separation.

The incorporation of new values is the culmination of breaking free from the outdated value system of the previous paradigm.

Venus sextile NN

Venus in Taurus refers to relating with ourselves in a way that increases our chances of survival. Whatever increases our chances is what we deem valuable. It is associated with the embodiment of a new value system.

The NN refers to our future identity. In the sign of Pisces, it is a future identity that aligns with the Piscean principles of wholeness. This energy of wholeness is expressed through inclusion, acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, and universal love.

The sextile between them is separating. The crescent phase sextile is about slowing down to bring the new energies into an embodiment state. When the two planets came together in Pisces earlier this year, they began a new cycle of aligning values and identity with Piscean themes. At the sextile, we are slowing down to incorporate new values into who we are becoming.

Venus trine SN

Venus in Taurus refers to relating with ourselves in a way that increases our chances of survival. Whatever increases our chances is what we deem valuable. It is associated with the embodiment of a new value system.

The SN in Virgo refers to the past identity that has seen itself through the eyes of separation. With this perception of reality, we see ourselves as not measuring up or thinking we are superior. It has led to a lot of emotional maladies and self-punishment.

The trine between Venus and the SN is a disseminating trine. It is where we put the original intention into the existing societal realm. It is an integration aspect. We are placing our new values into the world.

The original conjunction between the SN and Venus occurred in September of 2024 in the sign of Libra. We began a new cycle of valuing ourselves as equals in our relationships. At the trine, we have developed new values for ourselves and are ready to share these new values with the world, creating a balance in the way we relate with others.

Mars ingress to Virgo

Mars has entered Virgo. Virgo is about details. It is about perfecting oneself or making oneself whole. It represents the step-by-step process of perfecting the self. It requires self-analysis to discern a lack and then make an adjustment in the form of a step-by-step process to fulfill the lack.

Mars is how Pluto carries out its desires. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius refers to the accelerated metamorphosis that results in an empowered, individuated being that is authentic in its expression and acts from its special purpose that emanates from within the heart.

Mars is asking us to identify any deficiencies and create and execute a plan to improve ourselves.

Mars square Uranus

Learning to act upon the desires that emanate from our authentic expression can be a challenge. Our conditioning causes us to act on external cues and follow established rules of conduct. Acting against our conditioning feels uncomfortable and foreign. Mars' ingress into Virgo allows us to make adjustments and create a plan to improve ourselves.

Uranus, at the final degree of Taurus, brings an intensity. Uranus in Taurus is about breaking apart a value structure that no longer serves our evolution. We have left the old paradigm behind. The values of that paradigm no longer align with who we are, and over the last seven years, we have been detaching from them. At the same time, we are innovating values that are more sustainable.

The "crisis in action" square between Mars and Uranus is effecting a change. It requires that we choose our actions differently. To move forward, we need to discern a course of action and implement self-improvement steps; instead of adhering to outdated value systems, we must choose to follow our authentic selves. Acting on a plan of self-improvement that helps us to act from our hearts leads us to self-actualize who we truly are.

Mars trine Chiron

Mars in Virgo is prompting us to identify areas where we need to make changes within ourselves to act more fluidly from the heart. Mars rules Aries, and it is through our analysis and adjustments we make toward improving ourselves that we engage our Chiron in Aries.

Chiron in Aries refers to healing the collective wound associated with embracing one's true self. People have sacrificed their true selves for generations to fit into existing groups. It encompasses various aspects, including tribal situations, family dynamics, school, the workplace, and more.

The first-quarter trine emphasizes integrating our actions that stem from the desires emanating from within. Making adjustments to perfect ourselves helps us to heal the wound that has prevented us from showing up as our true selves. This trine enables us to make adjustments and perfect what we have been growing toward into reality.

Mars inconjunct Saturn-Neptune

Mars in Virgo is the apex of a yod configuration that is inconjunct with the Neptune-Saturn conjunction. Mars in Virgo is about acting to perfect ourselves through a step-by-step process. Often, the work of Virgo is to do selfless service for others.

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction refers to the crystallization of a new sense of self that aligns with the Piscean principles of unity and wholeness. The gibbous phase inconjunct between the two creates a crisis in our lives due to the internal feeling of lack. The crisis stems from a blind spot between the two energies. The act of perfecting the self does not see the new sense of self that we are becoming. An internal adjustment is needed to see the process from a different perspective.

Mars inconjunct Pluto (r)

The other inconjunct creating the yod, where Mars is the vertex, is the full phase inconjunct between Mars and Pluto retrograde. Mars in Virgo refers to taking action to improve oneself. It is a step-by-step process, and the work is often of service to others.

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is the underlying movement of evolution that is quickening at the moment. It is the Soul's desire to empower itself by breaking free of all previous conditioning, thereby exposing the unique and authentic beings that we all are.

The Full phase inconjunct behaves like the Scorpio archetype. The step-by-step process and the work of serving others can create a sense of power as the Soul begins to realize its purpose. It can create social issues if the power is expressed in an overly willful way. It can lead to being blocked by others. This blockage creates the necessary crisis of the inconjunct. Adjustment to fit the personal will in with the will of the collective is needed.

Finger of God formation: Mars in Virgo, Pluto (r), Saturn-Neptune conjunction

The "Finger of God" aspect comprises two inconjuncts and a sextile. It is a fated aspect that denotes an unconscious awareness. It is unrelated to the current experiences, yet it points out a destined future.

Mars in Virgo is the vertex, the fated aspect. The goal is to learn to act in a way that fosters self-improvement. The parts we do not see are the need to break free from conditioning to expose and individuate the authentic self and the crystallization of a new sense of self that aligns with the Piscean principles of unity and wholeness.

These blind spots create crises that require self-analysis and adjustment. The sextile between the Neptune-Saturn conjunction and Pluto retrograde reflects a supportive energy that can help us break free from conditioning. It exposes the authentic self and crystallizes a new sense of self that holds Piscean themes in high regard.

Saturn-Neptune sextile Pluto (r)

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries signifies a new beginning, crystallizing the Piscean principles of unity, self-compassion, and universal love for the totality of creation and transforming these principles into a new reality. It translates to acceptance of what is.

Pluto (r) in Aquarius encompasses internalizing and reflecting on our attachments to past structures. We discover emotional limitations that keep us stuck and attached. Exposing the limitations allows us to evolve beyond them and empower ourselves to become individuated souls that can connect to our true selves from the heart.

The new sextile between them is a supportive aspect that allows us to internalize the new sense of self. Exposing our fears and limitations helps us become aware of what we must overcome to become whole.

Saturn-Neptune sextile Uranus

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries signifies a new beginning. It marks a new beginning of crystallizing reality in a new way. Saturn carries with it the freshly incorporated Piscean principles, and these principles are inherent in Neptune. The principles of unity, self-compassion, and universal love for the totality of creation are becoming crystallized into a new reality.

Uranus in Taurus refers to the breakdown of values associated with the dissolution of antiquated societal norms. Uranus is ruling Pluto while it is in Aquarius. It is the breakdown of worn-out values that supports us in freeing ourselves from the emotional attachments to the old paradigm that has kept us from coming from our hearts.

The last sextile between Saturn and Uranus reveals that crystallizing the Piscean principles enables us to transform from our past self into our future self. The first sextile between Neptune and Uranus points out that we must incorporate the breaking free of antiquated values to embody Piscean principles into the new self.

Uranus trine SN

Uranus in Taurus refers to breaking free from the external value system. The SN in Virgo refers to the past identity that focuses on the details of reality. This myopic view of life does not consider the bigger picture (Pisces). It reduces the whole into its parts. Then, it sorts those parts into a hierarchy of importance. With this view, humanity has divided its parts into those that are good enough and those that are not.

Collectively, we are moving away from feeling not good enough and achieving a balance between how we bring Spirit (the whole) into form. This balance embodies compassion for oneself and others, as well as forgiveness for perceived mistakes.

The trine between the two is a disseminating trine. It is where our past identity, which feels inferior or superior, breaks free from the external values that cause us to have poor or inflated self-esteem. We disseminate this into the social sphere and become an inspiration for others.

Uranus trine Pluto (r)

Uranus in Taurus refers to the breakdown of values associated with the dissolution of societal norms. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius refers to the confrontation and transmutation of emotional attachments that keep us from evolving. During the retrograde, we reflect on our emotional limitations. We experience the attachments over and over again to expose them and transmute them.

The polarity point of Pluto in Aquarius is Leo. Becoming our true selves through being directed from our hearts is the intention of this alignment.

Uranus is the current ruler of Pluto. It points to how and what Pluto will transmute. Breaking free

from our conditioned values will help us all to individuate. This retrograde prompts us to reflect on our attachment to external values, bringing them into our awareness.

Neptune conjunct Saturn

Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries signifies the birth or rebirth of a new being. This new being aligns with unity consciousness. It is the journey of bringing Spirit into matter in a new way. Aries is instinctual action and exploration. It is about discovering who this new self is becoming.

Saturn is the crystallizing factor that will hold this energy as reality for a time. Saturn is about learning emotional maturity through experiences that require dedication, determination, and personal responsibility. These qualities lead to self-mastery over time and a strong emotional container. We are experiencing the crystallization of a new Piscean reality where we can manifest our dreams and explore the new nature of reality.

Neptune-Saturn sextile Pluto (r)

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries signifies a new beginning, crystallizing the Piscean principles of unity, self-compassion, and universal love for the totality of creation and transforming these principles into a new reality. It translates to acceptance of what is.

Pluto (r) in Aquarius encompasses internalizing and reflecting on our attachments to past structures. We discover emotional limitations that keep us stuck and attached. Exposing the limitations allows us to evolve beyond them and empower ourselves to become individuated souls that can connect to our true selves from the heart.

The new sextile between them is a supportive aspect that allows us to internalize the new sense of self. Exposing our fears and limitations helps us become aware of what we must overcome to become whole.

Finger of God formation: Pluto (r) Aquarius, Mars in Virgo, Lunation

The "Finger of God" aspect comprises two inconjuncts and a sextile. It is a fated aspect that denotes an unconscious awareness. It is unrelated to the current experiences, yet it points out a destined future.

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is the vertex, the fated aspect. The goal is to accelerate the breaking free from past conditioning to expose the authentic, individuated self. The crises occur because we cannot see what causes them. The need to act in a way that improves the self and a new cycle of inner awareness related to emotions creates blind spots with Pluto.

The New Moon in Cancer is the gibbous phase inconjunct. There is the energy of not feeling ready or good enough to follow our emotional cues. It requires an inner adjustment to see that following our emotional cues leads to individuation.

Mars in Virgo is the full phase inconjunct that requires us to adjust ourselves to fit into the social realm if we seem overly willful. The sextile between the two inconjuncts provides the support needed to assist in our individuation. Tuning into and connecting with our emotions in a new way and acting to improve ourselves are the support we need

Mercury in Cancer boomerang

Mercury in Cancer is about aligning our thoughts with our emotional world, providing us with an internal awareness tool. It is the boomerang point of the Plutonian Yod. Breaking free from conditioning to expose our authentic selves requires a release. Mercury in Cancer is that release. Becoming aware of an internal navigation system helps us to break free from the conditioning of the external navigation of the past paradigm.

Pluto (r) square Chiron

Chiron in Aries refers to healing the collective wound associated with embracing one's true self. People have sacrificed their true selves for generations to fit into the existing group. It encompasses various aspects, including tribal situations, family dynamics, school, the workplace, and more.

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is the bottom line of evolution. As Pluto retrogrades, we are individuating from the past paradigm. The retrograde is accelerating the journey by reviewing what we have learned so far. The review helps us identify the limitations and transform them.

Pluto intends to individuate and free us from the emotional limitations that have kept us from evolving.

Chiron is applying toward a first-quarter square. It is a "crisis in action" square where we must choose a different action to change the existing circumstances. Tension builds between the evolutionary impulse to individuate and the healing of the wound that allows us to be our true selves.
