✨ July 24th, 2025: New Moon in Cancer/Pushya – Emotional Reset & Nurturing Beginnings ✨

by Katya Faris, MA, MA

🌑 Cosmic Backdrop:

Today’s New Moon (3:12pm EST) falls in sensitive Cancer, the sign of home, family, and deep emotions, while also activating Pushya Nakshatra—the “nourishing star” ruled by Brihaspati (Jupiter) and symbolized by a cow’s udder. This is a potent time for emotional security, healing roots, and planting seeds of care. But first, the Moon must move through a cosmic gauntlet:

• 🌙 Early AM (Gemini/Punarvasu + Jupiter): The day begins with an inquisitive, optimistic tone—ideas flow, but restlessness lingers.

• 🦀 2am EST: Moon Enters Cancer—conjunct the Sun + Mercury Retrograde, opposing Pluto Retrograde. Hidden emotions surface, power dynamics in relationships flare, and old conversations resurface. Dig deep, but avoid control struggles.

• 🐄 8am EST: Moon in Pushya—the storm calms. Nurturing energy arrives; tend to family, finances, or self-care like sacred acts.

• 🌑 3:12pm EST: New Moon Exact—a fresh emotional cycle begins. Set intentions around security, motherhood, ancestry, or home projects.

🔮 Key Aspects & House Themes (Post-2am EST):

• 💧 Moon/Sun/Mercury Rx (Cancer, 1H): Your emotions are the message. Listen to your body’s wisdom.

• 🪐 Saturn & Neptune Rx (Pisces, 9H): Spiritual doubts or travel/education delays? Surrender the plan.

• 👁️ Rahu (Aquarius, 8H): A taboo truth or financial secret emerges—face it without fear.

• 💫 Venus-Uranus (Taurus, 11H): Sudden friendship or income shift—stay open to quirky blessings.

• ♊ Jupiter (Gemini, 12H): Dreams, solitude, or past-life themes offer guidance. Journal visions.

• 🕳️ Pluto Rx (Capricorn, 7H): Power struggles in partnerships? Transform, don’t control.

• 🔥 Mars/Ketu (Leo, 2H): Ego clashes over money/values? Create, don’t argue.

🌿 New Moon Ritual Ideas:

• Cook a family recipe or light a candle for ancestors.

• Write a letter to your inner child—then burn/release it.

• Charge a moonstone or pearl under the New Moon for emotional protection.

💫 Mantra: “I nourish myself deeply, so I can nurture the world.”
