New Moon in Cancer
June 25.
Venus entered Cancer this month. Jupiter entered Cancer on June 9th — first time in twelve
years. And on June 25th, the new moon joins them. Three signals stacking in the sign of the
home, the mother, the hearth, the ocean, the kitchen table at midnight.
Madonn'. When the new moon forms in the same sign as Jupiter and Venus, what you plant
in that soil has serious backing. The universe is paying attention. You should be too.
The Cancer new moon is the private moon. Not the big career ask. Not the public declaration.
This is the moon for what you want to feel in your home by end of summer — the specific
kind of safe you've been chasing. The people you want around the table. The tenderness you've
been afraid to name out loud. She doesn't care about your five-year plan. She cares about what
the inside of your house feels like at 9pm on a Tuesday in August, and whether it matches what
you actually need.
Here's what I do: white candle at the kitchen table, not the altar — the kitchen is where
Cancer lives. A glass of water left out overnight for the moon to work on. Our Lady of Grace
because this moon has mother energy baked into it and Sicilian women have known that since
before the diocese was formed. The moonstone on the windowsill because it's been sitting
there since Jupiter moved into Cancer and it knows what it's doing. The bay leaf with one
word written on it — what you want to feel, not what you want to have. The sea
salt because you protect what you're calling in, or the wave takes it back. And the abalone shell
because this is Cancer, sinner, and Cancer is water, and you need a vessel on the table.
Seven things. Set them before the dark. The moon does the rest.

stays lit. Madonn', it's that simple.
