✧ TAROT SPREAD ✧ Cancer New Moon - June 25, 2025

This week brings tidal tenderness and some of the sweetest astrology of the year. May it be a balm for our tired hearts. <3

Hey dear ones. Holding you all tenderly in my heart as I sit down to right this. It is some kind of full-spectrum intensity, all of this Cancerian tenderness against a backdrop of a world on fire. Those in power don’t know how to wield it, meanwhile those of us on the ground + close to Earth find ways to take better care of each other. May it be like that, until the levy breaks and we find new ways forward. The only prayer I can hold.

There is some strange irony, some bittersweet symphony, that the most auspicious Astrology of the year is occuring amidst all of this chaos. Perhaps it is a buoy of some unseen source. I’d like to think so. Regardless, may this Cancer New Moon by a moment to resource ourselves and connect to something Ancient + Sustaining. The wisdom of water, the reminders of our Grandmothers. The strength of spirit that chooses to protect what it loves.

What do you care about? How do you protect it? This is what the wise shell of the crab teaches us to do. To wrap our arms around our most vulnerable places, within + without. To remind them that their existence is sacred, and we will do whatever is needed to keep them safe. A mirror for the macrocosm, the greater human family reflected within ourselves. Our own inner children, asking for assurance that we will be taken care of. We are all that child within.

In a world where our so called ‘caretakers’ (leaders) are fumbling, even abusing their elevated roles in the commitment they’ve made to humanity, we must find a way to become that caretaker ourselves. Not only for ourselves, but for one another. Yes, I know you’re tired. I am too. But it’s easier if we do this together.

What I’m saying is — how do you show up when you’re in conflict? How do you treat your neighbor? Your siblings, your mother? Even moreso; those that you deeply disagree with? I know that so much of this moment requires boundaries + moral/ethical values becoming crystal clear, and thus our disagreements become even more contoured. But if we lose sight of one another’s humanity, we are using the Master’s tools to try to dismantle the Master’s house. Separation + opposition are the exact methods used to turn the masses against one another. And while we’re all down here fighting amongst ourselves, they’re seated in their cushioned white chairs making declarations of war and draining our bank accounts. May we not forget that this is exactly how the system was intended to function.

May we not lose sight of what we’re fighting for. May we remember that connection is much more powerful than separation. And may we be mindful of the conditionality of our care; who + where we cut it off. I’m not advocating for bypassing our moral standing, but I am advocating for investigating the limits of our own humanity. A lifelong inquiry and process of deconstruction. All we have is each other.

And with that, a Tarot Spread to anchor into resources from this Cancer new Moon…

The New Moon occurs at 6:30am EST on June 25th, 2025 — I recommend sitting with this spread that evening, as luna begins to regain her body.
