This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on May 27, 2025, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Main signs impacted during the lunation:
All cardinal signs 1st decan.
Tightening of the Saturn / Neptune conjunction
The most striking feature of this period is obviously the recent transit of Saturn into Aries, and the beginning of the formation of its important conjunction with Neptun. I refer you to my previous articles on Saturn’s transit in Aries 2025/2028 and Neptune’s transit in Aries 2025/2039.
Make sure you analyze the implications of Neptunian and Saturnian forces in your own chart, as the steps you need to take at the moment are very much related to them, especially if you’re naturally sensitive to these energies (which can also more easily give rise to confusion and uncertainty, as these energies are colder and more restrictive in their nature).
It’s therefore a particularly transformative New Moon, with plenty of dynamic energies to harness at the start of the lunation, and a certain effervescence on the side of the forces of Fire and Air, which are the most widely valued in the sky at the moment (and which can be a driving force for hope).
It’s a great way to socialize, to communicate, to assert yourself, to meet new people, to learn new things, to break with routine and dare to express your originality and independence.
This is really a very dynamic phase of the year 2025, where there’s no more retrograde phase for quite a while, and after the beginning of the year which may have been a bit slowed down, we’re not unhappy here to have the freer rein to initiate what we want to do or change.
Here too, depending on where you’ve felt “blocked” over the past few months, you may feel some interesting unblocking forces, most likely related to your integration of the collective…
The second major event of the lunation is Jupiter’s transit into Cancer around the beginning of the 2nd dekad of June, and I’ll come back to this in a dedicated post.
In absolute terms, this isn’t really a “separate” event from the transits of Saturn and Neptune, since all of them greatly sensitize the 1st decans of the Cardinal signs!
They are the ones who are most valued by the astrological pattern of the moment and who may feel the biggest “steps to climb” over the period, the most important transforming forces, but also the most violent and demanding.
Jupiter is a planet that is very expansionist in what it touches, and it has a “magnifying glass” effect, particularly on the social changes that are necessary, even imperative, to bring about.
In mid-June 2025, the square between the 1st decan of Aries and the 1st decan of Cancer is particularly powerful and could mark a very important stage in the year.
Depending on your individual theme, this can mean, for example, a socio-professional challenge, a conflict between work and family life, or a compelling need to get closer to your ideals, inner feelings and vocation.
If you have planets involved in this 1st decan Cardinal, you mustn’t neglect the force of change at work at this time, and try to accompany it as best you can, consciously, to give impetus to the projects you want to realize (this could also coincide with a move or with important discussions to be had in your family; we see that Mercury will be conjoined to Jupiter at this time and can help this).
There’s also a certain notion of risk-taking that shouldn’t be overlooked, as the square in itself doesn’t indicate something “comfortable”; the changes it drives are rarely made “in slippers”, but rather imply a dynamic to be conquered, something to fight for and which bears full fruit later on.
In any case, it’s an astrological dynamic that really has a certain depth to it, as it will last for the whole lunation, and even until mid-July, which means it will last for about a month and a half! (so the issues raised need to be thought through over this time frame).
It’s also a configuration to keep an eye on in terms of mundane astrology, as it can set a major economic and political turning point.
The full moon on June 11, 2025 right in the middle of Jupiter’s transit through Cancer, and can be linked to a symbol of revelation, of awareness (it can accompany something that comes out of the shadows and that we need to communicate to our loved ones, for example).
Pay particular attention to the last quarter, around June 19, when the Moon will be conjunct Saturn / Neptune, and may confirm the quadrature’s triggering factor (promoting doubts, instability, a cycle-turn balance).
We can see that the end of June brings a complete change in elemental dynamics, since the sky is particularly marked by Water and Earth, i.e. more receptive and introverted forces that once again perfectly underline the Saturn / Neptune conjunction, which will tighten enormously over the next lunation.
