Astro forecast 23 – 29 Jun 2025
This week there is a gentle emotional realignment (Cancer Sun, New Moon, Sun in Jupiter) and vibrant creative expression (Mercury in Leo, Mars in Virgo). By synchronising heart‑centred intentions with clear communication and grounded action, you can shift from feeling inwardly nourished to outwardly radiant—all while staying centred.
Embrace this blend: nurture boldly, speak your truth, and act with purpose. May your week be both heartfelt and inspired.
Sun squares Neptune in Cancer
This week features the Sun in Cancer forming a tense square with Neptune in Aries on 23 June, stirring a blend of emotional sensitivity and potential confusion. The Cancer Sun invites introspection into family and emotional security, yet Neptune’s influence could muddy motivations, igniting fears of illusion or overly idealistic emotional expectations. This transit can reveal areas of emotional vulnerability in need of clarity and spiritual realignment.
The following day, 24 June, the Sun conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer—a luminous conjunction that expands emotional awareness and infuses optimism and healing energy around home and belonging. This potent alignment marks a turning point: while Neptune may create fog, the Sun–Jupiter blend encourages us to magnify our capacity for nurturing and envisioning a more heartfelt life path.
Tip: Use this energy to journal your hopes and fears about home or family. Then gently separate dreams from reality—ask yourself, “What practical step can I take today to support this?”
New moon and Sun‑Jupiter conjunction in Cancer
A deeply transformative New Moon occurs on 25 June, closely conjoined with Jupiter—all in Cancer. This celestial event launches a cycle focused on emotional growth, heartfelt intentions and nurturing expansion in private life. This phase offers potent creative potential—especially when aligned with inner security and growth.
This juncture is excellent for planting seeds around home life, family wellbeing, self‑care rituals or starting an empathic project. The combined Cancer–Jupiter energy helps manifest expansive yet emotionally grounded beginnings, from building emotional resilience to fostering deeper relationships.
Tip: Set a New Moon ritual: write down 3 caring intentions for the next month (like establishing a bedtime routine or reconnecting with family). Keep them visible, revisit weekly.
Mercury enters Leo (a communication shift)
On 26 June, Mercury ingresses from Cancer into Leo, shifting the tone from reflective sensitivity to bold and creative self‑expression. This transit encourages honest, courageous communication, speaking truth with warmth and pride. It’s a break from people‑pleasing, urging clarity and charisma in your interactions.
As Mercury in Leo squares Pluto around 28–29 June, conversations may deepen or unearth unspoken truths. Expect emotional honesty, possibly dramatic revelations—any dialogue now can be transformative. While it may feel intense, it’s ultimately empowering and cathartic.
Tip: Harness this energy to craft one heartfelt message—be it a creative pitch, expression of appreciation, or unveiling an idea. Speak from the heart, own your voice.
Mars in Virgo sextile sun & new moon energy
Mars remains in Virgo, where it formed a sextile with the Sun on 26 June and continues enhancing the New Moon’s practical potential by sextiling the lunar cycle. This combination underpins bold new emotional intentions with grounded, actionable energy. Mars in Virgo thrives on planning, systems and tangible progress—ideal for implementing your New Moon ideas.
It’s a powerful week to refine systems, routines or self‑care practices that support emotional wellbeing. The pragmatic precision of Mars in Virgo gives structure to Cancer’s emotional landscape, helping you act on your heart‑led goals with efficiency and attention to detail.
Tip: Choose one emotional intention set during the New Moon and build a simple routine around it—e.g. gratitude journalling or a weekly catch‑up—and commit to at least three days this week.
Mercury sextile uranus & trines to Saturn/neptune
As Mercury settles in Leo, it forms a sextile to Uranus in Taurus on 26 June, followed by trines to Saturn and Neptune on the 27th and 28th. The Uranus aspect sparks innovative thinking—fresh ideas may arise about creative self‑expression or emotional wellbeing. Meanwhile, the trines smooth communication with structure (Saturn) and spiritual attunement (Neptune), balancing boldness with wisdom.
This transit fosters conversations that creatively merge individual flair with depth and stability. Your bold words (Mercury in Leo) can be channelled into meaningful projects—backed by real‑world planning and intuitive insight.
Tip: If an idea or message feels inspired, journal it in Leo’s voice, then revisit it during Saturn/Neptune energy to refine for clarity, feasibility and heart.
Cancer season momentum & outer‑planet build‑up
Cancer Season continues its emotional deep dive, emphasised by the Sun–Jupiter conjunction and the New Moon—situating our focus on internal realignment and care. Meanwhile, Neptune’s retrograde (approaching July 4) and Jupiter–Saturn tensions are in the background, urging not just dreamy compassion but practical grounding.
This week acts as a pivot: we move from solstice reflection into active manifestation. It’s consistent with broader June transits—guided by emotional depth, creative assertion, and mindful articulation.
Tip: On Sunday 29 June, pause for a mini‑review: what emotional or creative insight has reshaped your week? Celebrate progress—no matter how small—and map a next practical step.
