June 25: New Moon in Cancer
New Moon Ritual: At the time of the new moon, an energy of renewal takes place. Sit in a quiet place and be relaxed: choose a clear intention, start your request with thank you and write your wish as if it had already been fulfilled. Discover our article for Abundance Check.
During this phase, we become more receptive and sensitive to our surroundings. Our heightened sensitivity encourages us to be compassionate and protective. The sense of family is exalted, which might, for some, interfere with their love life.
The sky during this new moon is a bit less favorable than last month. Five planets have changed signs: Venus has moved into Taurus, Mercury into Cancer, along with Jupiter. Mars has entered Virgo, and naturally, the Sun has shifted into Cancer with the summer solstice.
The Sun, Moon, and Jupiter are closely conjunct at the beginning of Cancer. This combination of energies provides a significant boost where emotions are amplified (especially since the Moon is in its domicile), feelings are heightened, and everything takes on extraordinary importance, including our personalities.
For the better: Mars forms a sextile, adding goodwill, a desire to do things well, and concern for others.
For the worse: There’s a double square to Saturn and Neptune, leading to errors, confusion, rigidity, and considerable fatigue.
Fortunately, Mercury is well-positioned to keep us grounded if we rely on our intellect rather than our often misleading impressions. Supported by the same Saturn and Neptune, Mercury structures our intellect while opening up horizons and encouraging spirituality. Additionally, the sextile to Uranus brings sudden and brilliant ideas to exploit to the fullest, provided we trust ourselves.
Venus is approaching Uranus, both in Taurus, enhancing sensuality. However, the square to Mars can create discord in relationships by separating emotions from physical desire, especially in new relationships. So, in the case of a promising encounter, it’s wise to take the time to get to know the other person before committing. For couples, Uranus brings fun and surprises, making it a perfect time to surprise your partner, rekindle passion, or perhaps enjoy a romantic getaway together.
The overall atmosphere during this new moon is very family-oriented. Extend invitations that include all generations, and you’re sure to enjoy warm, fulfilling moments.
May 27th: New Moon in Gemini
This configuration creates a lively and chatty atmosphere, full of intersecting energies. Adaptability and sociability encourage good, numerous but light exchanges. This is not the time to address contentious issues or spark controversies.
Venus has entered Aries, Mercury has moved from Taurus to Gemini, the Sun is now in Gemini, and Saturn has left Pisces for Aries. The celestial scene has significantly shifted in recent weeks!
This New Moon in Gemini is particularly well-supported with the Sun, of course, but also Venus and the close presence of Uranus, which is just a few degrees away at the end of Taurus. This cluster, in a quadruple trine with Pluto, offers all the hope for the world to change, transform, and flourish in a more harmonious and humane environment.
This quartet also acts as a bridge for Neptune and Saturn, which have recently entered Aries. Fire and air mix harmoniously, igniting a beautiful burst of ideas, projects, decisions, and above all, new beginnings. However, this configuration also brings a lot of agitation and nervousness, so it’s essential to control our emotions, feelings, desires, and actions to avoid detrimental excesses to the personal and collective progress being offered to us.
All the planets are either in fire or air signs, except for Uranus, which finishes its journey in Taurus, providing just enough earth to bring a bit of realism to all this excitement. Water is entirely absent, so emotions are governed by intellect and action. Strong wills prevail, but we must be careful not to hurt our loved ones with sharp or ironic remarks. Similarly, while Mars in Leo represents a huge potential for significant achievements, we must avoid the sin of pride and overly authoritative behavior.
Overall, the sky of this May New Moon is particularly rich in opportunities for everyone: emotions filtered through reason, spontaneous and powerful feelings, rewarding activities, more benevolent authorities, and immense creativity. The only real pitfall is a tendency to dream too high, act too radically, or resist (unnecessarily) inevitable rules. This sky invites us to rebirth and fraternity; let’s heed its call!
April 27th: New Moon in Taurus
The New Moon in Taurus brings a stable and industrious atmosphere. This configuration makes us creative but stubborn. However, this strong determination inspires us to give our best. It’s a great day to bring professional or romantic projects to fruition.
This New Moon is a bit tense, with a square to Mars and Pluto. Emotions are heightened, reactions are excessive, and we need to channel tensions into intense activities without taking reckless risks. Our energy temporarily escapes our control, which can lead to conflicts, radical decisions, and anxiety.
Since the last New Moon, things have changed: Mercury has entered Aries, and aided by Mars, it provides strong mental energy that easily and quickly translates into tangible achievements.
Venus has resumed its direct motion in Pisces and is now in conjunction with Saturn and Neptune in the last degrees of this dreamy sign. Venus also receives excellent influences from Mars and Uranus. Meetings are full of promise; singles have every chance to find their soulmate, and couples bring a touch of fantasy into their daily lives. It’s a wonderful period of complicity and solidarity.
Mars traverses the first degrees of Leo, opening a period of great creativity that should support artists and lovers alike. Not without friction, as the Sun in Taurus forms a square with Mars: wills clash, power struggles may arise, and Mars’s opposition to Pluto only strengthens this sometimes excessive determination. We should thus channel this dynamism into creativity rather than constant conflict.
However, Mars is supported by Saturn and Neptune, providing stability and a promise of durability in all activities. A sorting process takes place between what is outdated and needs to be discarded and what new developments should be cherished and preserved.
In the coming days, Venus will enter Aries, igniting passions, and Pluto will begin retrograding at the start of Aquarius, forcing us to reconsider our fundamentals.
March 29th: New Moon in Aries
The Sun and the Moon, both in Aries, create a bold, even daring, atmosphere. This duo encourages entrepreneurial spirit but also impulsive language, rebellious energy, and adventurous undertakings. We crave action, stronger connections, more exciting relationships, and new experiences.
With 12 conjunctions, 4 trines, and 5 sextiles, there are no squares or oppositions. This New Moon in Aries is under a sky full of harmony!
Although Mercury is retrograding towards Pisces, it remains in Aries and adds a pioneering spirit to the day’s energy. Our intuition leads us to intense activities where we can exchange ideas and methods in a very fulfilling environment.
Just behind, three planets occupy the last degrees of Pisces: Saturn, Venus (retrograde until April 14th), and Neptune.
Venus retrograde brings awareness to our emotional or financial deficiencies, highlighting our ability to love or be loved. It clarifies what we cherish and what we reject. The retrograde of Venus brings a wave of certainty that dissipates doubts. Under these influences, we feel that a relationship or an encounter is taking a stable and lasting turn. As Venus retrogrades, it fosters a calming atmosphere and shields us from tensions. Finally, Venus retrograde conjunct with Saturn and Neptune is perfectly balanced between reason and feelings, allowing romance to flourish, firmly guided by Saturn’s good sense and logic.
Pluto, which was solitary last month, now forms a trine with Jupiter during this New Moon. This aspect prompts us to reassess and realize that what doesn’t work must change, even if it means dismantling outdated structures. The trend is towards reflection, making this an excellent opportunity to make clear and determined choices and to find more serenity. As this trine occurs in air signs, we can imagine a better future through intellect and then apply it to our daily lives.
February 28, 2025: New Moon in Pisces
The new moon in Pisces often signifies confusion, disorder, or even chaos. Those who know how to let go—dreamers, poets, and some researchers—benefit from these creative influences that exalt intuition. Others, however, might find themselves completely lost in strange atmospheres...
The tension caused by this sky is linked to the typically heightened lunar sensitivity. The Sun and Moon, drowned in the elusive sign of Pisces, induce a day full of indecision. We must soften our control and tap into our creativity. This tension is further heightened by the square with Jupiter, which exaggerates everything and gives our emotions an utterly unreasonable scope.
Fortunately, nearby is the Mercury-Saturn duo, which timely brings some order and common sense into this flood of sensations, impressions, and confusion. It’s up to us to discern wisely, keeping our feet on the ground and focusing on facts rather than impressions that could lead to errors in judgment or poor decisions.
Mars, well-positioned in Cancer, offers activities that can positively channel this flood of emotions. Any artistic work is recommended in this situation, as creations can then overflow with creativity. This is especially true as Uranus, for its part, encourages initiatives and fosters excellent atmospheres that favor original, even unusual, but always realistic productions (because Uranus is in Taurus).
With Venus sextile to Jupiter, feelings take center stage, and this new moon could bring us particularly pleasant surprises. Daily life offers a breath of exoticism; we have an open mind and are more readily available for all discoveries. We may also seize beautiful financial opportunities, making profitable investments to ensure a bit more stability and security in the future.
Pluto is isolated at the beginning of Aquarius, so the air is lighter and more carefree. As long as it aligns with collective interest, it poses no problem. It's the perfect time to relax and enjoy life without pondering too many existential questions this time.
January 29, 2025: New Moon in Aquarius
Whimsical and idealistic, the new moon in Aquarius makes our words more spontaneous yet always friendly. In matters of love, this configuration can be a charming asset, highlighting originality and light-heartedness.
This new moon is not only conjunct the Sun but also Mercury and Pluto, and this quartet has excellent relations with Jupiter, which is retrograde in Gemini. So much air!
Another cluster of three planets in Pisces—Venus, Saturn, and Neptune—are in excellent terms with Mars, which is also retrograde and located in Cancer. So much water!
Uranus, which is retrograde in Taurus, connects these two groups through a double sextile, bringing a touch of earth and thus realism into all this poetry. This new moon in Aquarius offers a peaceful sky and an atmosphere as creative as it is sentimental.
Let’s now take a closer look at what this unique configuration brings us.
This new moon in Aquarius, therefore, conjunct with the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto, puts the focus on intellect. Thoughts are original, even unusual, but deep. It is relatively easy to concentrate; the mind is open, sharp, and infused with positive emotions. Instinct and realism blend to result in inspired and sensible decisions.
Jupiter in trine to this trio enhances all these good dispositions by opening our minds, making us more tolerant, and allowing us to consider all possibilities. It promises a beautiful harmony on sometimes contentious subjects.
Venus in Pisces, conjunct Neptune, could overflow into an excess of romantic illusions, but Saturn keeps watch and brings the most romantic feelings back to reason. Thus, we have a very balanced emotional climate, mixing fantasy and wisdom. The trine to Mars only reinforces these good dispositions, harmoniously blending emotions and physical ardor, promising a very sensual atmosphere, perfect harmony, and unity in love stories.
If Uranus from Taurus brings change, it is always for the better. It encourages new activities and budding romances, allowing us to stand out while staying supportive.
Let’s take advantage of the exceptionally harmonious sky of this January new moon to start the year well!

During the new moon, the night’s star is invisible, hidden in the Earth’s shadow. It can’t be observed because it is completely dark.
The new moon marks a fresh start, a moment in life when we begin something, launch a project, or even conceive a child, often unconsciously. It’s the time of the month when we are most likely to succeed in our goals.

People born under a new moon have powerful energy and spontaneous drive, but this alignment of the luminaries can also bring confusion and subjectivity due to heightened sensitivity.
