New Moon in Libra 2025

New Moon in Libra ~ When the fairy lights flicker

21st October PDT: 05:25 | EDT: 08:25 | BST: 13:25 

The new moon in Libra marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle. After navigating September’s eclipses, (an intense experience for some), we are now moving into the darker part of the year with a generous helping of insight and Libran grace. This new moon brings some heart centred energy, but elsewhere the skies carry a powerful undercurrent. Let’s explore this together…

Ruled by Venus, the energy of Libra reminds us how important our heart connections are. The people we love, what we truly value and the appreciation of balance and harmony in our relationships are all Libran topics. Whilst we know life can often challenge our ideal sense of balance, Libra’s diplomacy and tact will always seek to even the scales and keep the peace.

Did someone say boundaries?

As someone with a strong concentration of Libra planets in my birth chart, I’m well acquainted with both the beauty and the challenge of this sign. Libra’s instinct to seek harmony for all is honourable, yet it’s important to remember that creating balance should never come at the expense of our own inner peace. True diplomacy asks for honesty with ourselves and with others, and sometimes that means finding the courage to say no, even if it’s a gentle Libran no, adorned with fairy lights.

At this new moon, Venus is at home in Libra, supporting us to appreciate our relationships and welcome any fresh perspectives that might be needed. How are your boundaries with others? Are you overstretched, or does the natural sense of give and take in your relationships feel evenly balanced? Libra also embraces beauty and the joy that is found in creative endeavours - so you may find yourself questioning if your creative cup is full, and if not, how might you replenish it? Now is the time to open your heart to inspiration, connection and truth.

How to welcome the Libra New Moon:

• Find a creative outlet: Pick up those knitting needles, visit the art gallery, write a poem, or colour code that spreadsheet! Awaken the creativity that lives within you.

• Reconnect with your loved ones: Spend quality time with your VIPs and strengthen precious connections.

• Assess the balance in your relationships: Pause to appreciate your relationships with others in all their multifaceted beauty and complexity. Be honest with yourself about any new beginnings that you would like to see. If it feels good, explore this further through journaling.

• Consider the relationship you have with yourself:  Libra season began when the sun moved into Libra on 22nd September. If you reflect on the last month, is there anything new you have learned about yourself and your needs?

• Set your intentions: Carve out some quiet time, grab your journal and set some clear, heart centred intentions to take you forward into the month.

Powerful undercurrents

Elsewhere in the skies, Mars and Mercury will meet in the sign of Scorpio. The scope for powerful problem solving, yet potential pressure cooker energy is something to watch for. If you are seeking Libran harmony, make sure that you also have clear awareness of your true thoughts and feelings and how to communicate them. Mars and Mercury will not tolerate any form of people - pleasing; we need to be honest, real and unafraid to speak our truth, but do it with a healthy dose of kindness!
