June 25, 2025 – July 24, 2025

We have recently been trying to act in new and different ways that are simpler, easier, more in tune with our passions, and more in tune with our individual desires. This is in stark contrast to our old ways of behaving that were more complicated, serious, responsible, focused on status, and based on what other people wanted. That is because these new and different behaviors will finally get us into a new, different, and better experience of life that we have been trying to get to for quite some time that are more in tune with our emotions.

Well, this month, we begin to more fully understand these new behaviors and why they are necessary. We also begin to more fully believe that these new behaviors will work.

As a result, we take more bold and risky action in these different ways, which may occur suddenly. That then sets many unexpected events into action that will ultimately help to finally liberate us from old things that have been keeping us stuck, and move into this new and better experience of life we have been trying to get to once and for all!

This is wonderful! And while these unexpected events may feel wild and bring up some anxiety, we do not let that get the best of us. Instead, we are able to flow with these events while also providing necessary support and structure to it that isn’t too rigid.

As a result, this new and better experience of life begins to become more solid, more publicly seen, and more a part of our life than ever before! This is huge because it is the result of everything we have been trying to manifest for years finally happening. Our identity and circumstances then start to change greatly.

But because these circumstances feel so different and significant, we then start to feel a little sad about the life, identity, and circumstances we are leaving behind. As a result, we need more time to really work through those emotions and re-calibrate to our new experience.

Explore this lunar month’s four major moon phases below.

New Moon in Cancer

Forming new beliefs and thinking new thoughts

June 25 – July 2, 2025

We have recently begun in acting in new ways that are simpler, easier, more passionate, and more in tune with our individual interests. That is a good thing, but it has been very difficult to fully believe that these new behaviors are good and will work to improve our lives. Well, this week, that changes. We begin to more fully believe and commit to these new behaviors and own them. We also change our thoughts and mindset to embrace these new behaviors. As a result, we begin to feel a lot of passion and drive to embrace these new behaviors more and totally change our life as result.

First Quarter Moon in Libra

Liberating ourselves from old expectations unexpectedly

July 2-10, 2025

Now that we are beginning to feel more passion and conviction to act in new ways that are simpler and easier, we then naturally and spontaneously feel compelled to do even more things in this different way — which may come suddenly and unexpected. This then leads us to suddenly take a risk to change a lot of things in our lives for the better, and liberate ourselves from many old things that have been holding us back. It may be a bit overwhelming at first and bring up a ton of crazy thoughts and conversations that may be hard to wrangle, but I think we are trusting the process and going with the flow of it anyway (instead of pushing back).

Full Moon in Capricorn

Structuring a new and better experience

July 10-17, 2025

We continue to go with any unexpected actions that we recently initiated to liberate ourselves from any old things that have been holding us back. As a result, they begin to work out and yield different and better circumstance away from the past that we have been trying to get to for quite some time. This is wonderful! However, these unexpected actions have left things in a little bit of disarray. As a result, we realize that we need to take the time to bring some order and structure to these new experiences so that they are easier to work with and are going in a better direction. We then start to do that — and this time, we aren’t being overly rigid or harsh on ourselves. Instead, we are balancing these chaotic events with order and structure in just the right ways!

Third Quarter Moon in Aries

Releasing an old identity, behaviors, and thoughts

July 17-24, 2025

Now that new and better experiences have finally started to manifest in a real and solid way that we have begun to structure, we realize that it is now time to say goodbye to an old version of ourselves — as well as old thoughts and behaviors. But it is a little harder to let these old things go than maybe we thought. We are still weirdly attached to these old behaviors and identity. We feel like letting these things go will cause us to lose an important part of ourselves. As a result, we need to take a little bit of time to grieve our old identity and adjust to the new and better one.

You can answer these questions to yourself, in your journal, or in the comment section.

1. What big change have you been trying to make to finally turn your life around for the better since 2020?
2. What different ideas, beliefs, perspectives, or actions have you recently had to adopt in order to make these changes in a better way?
3. What success have you recently made in actually turning your life around for the better?
4. What things have not been successful yet, and still haven’t fully turned around?
5. If you were to double down on the things that are working (instead of obsess about the things that aren’t working), what do you think would happen?
6. How can you double down on the things that have been successful and go ALL IN MORE FULLY on those things that are working?
7. Once you double down on the things that are working, many different and better circumstances may arrive. How can you structure those experiences, without being too rigid or demanding?
8. Once different and better circumstance arrive, you may need to let some old things go. What old identity, behaviors, ideas, and circumstances might need to go?
9. How do you feel about leaving the old identity, behaviors, ideas, and circumstances behind?
10. What do you like about the new identity, behaviors, ideas, and circumstances?
11. How can you begin to see yourself more as the new identity instead of the old?
