Tree Woman by Shayea_Kim on Pixabay. -------------------------------------- Wednesday June 25 New Moon in Cancer Using the powers of the Cancer New Moon, we can turn our inner world into a place that feels safe. No matter what is going on for us in our outside world. No matter the struggles or heartaches we face, this New Moon offers us the gift of being able to feel safe and secure. Jupiter, Our Amplifier of the New Moon Jupiter has the power to magnify our intentions and what we are putting out into the Universe, which makes the June New Moon of 2025 a powerful time for manifestation work. Think about what you wish to attract into your life. Think not just about the material world, but your emotional world, for that is what Cancer rules over. How do we want to show up each day on an emotional level? What emotions do we wish to nurture and master?

Tree Woman by Shayea_Kim on Pixabay. -------------------------------------- Wednesday June 11 Full Moon in Sagittarius The Full Moon in Sagittarius brings a surge of energy focused on truth, movement, and expansion. This lunation isn’t soft or subtle. Several powerful planetary influences are involved, making this Full Moon action-driven and emotionally charged. One of the main influences is the dwarf planet, Eris – the Goddess of Discord and Strife. Her activation during this Full Moon may bring up tension or disharmony, particularly in areas where you’ve been ignoring problems or holding back from speaking your truth. Mars is also highly active during this time, amplifying the intensity of the Full Moon. Mars is the planet of drive, motivation, and action—but also anger and impulse. This energy is best used for taking purposeful action, initiating needed change, or setting new boundaries—not for arguing or pushing people away. The Sagittarius Full Moon and the Road to Healing Chiron—the wounded healer—is also active under this Full Moon. His influence brings an opportunity for emotional healing, especially around old patterns, identity wounds, or feelings of inadequacy. You may notice memories, emotions, or relationship issues resurfacing. If this happens, don’t ignore it or shut it down. There’s a chance here to move through something that’s been holding you back and come out on the other side with a deeper sense of wholeness.

Friday June 6 Eid al-Adha  Eid ul-Adha is a time of reflection and spiritual renewal as it serves as a reminder to all Muslims of the importance of faith, devotion and submission to God's will while fostering a sense of unity and inclusivity as people from diverse backgrounds come together to celebrate this joyous occasion. The festival not only strengthens the bonds within families and communities but also encourages acts of charity and kindness that are the core principles of Islam.
