NEW MOON IN LIBRA

October 21st, 2025 ✨🌙♎

“Recalibrating the Scales”

At a time when polarities intensify and relationships are tested, this New Moon invites us to restore balance within ourselves and around us.
With its ruler, Venus, urging us to redefine the value of beauty, love, and justice, this lunation opens a new cycle of creation and reconciliation.

The New Moon at 28°21’ Libra, occurring on October 21st at 14:24 (Greece time), writes a new chapter in the story of our relationships with significant others and with ourselves. It urges us to change the way we coexist and connect. It is time to discern who truly contributes to our growth and deserves a place in our lives, and how we, in turn, can offer what we long to receive from others.

In this new lunar cycle lies the promise of new life contracts, alliances, and relationships that evolve us, as well as the opportunity for renewal and upgrade within existing bonds and creative paths.

Yet, taking place in the anaretic degree of Libra, this New Moon is not merely a new beginning but also a final opportunity for correction, redirection, and deeper integration before we enter the transformative realm of Scorpio.
We are sowing new seeds in a soil that is already shifting. Therefore, this is the moment to resolve what’s been unsettled and restore harmony in relationships, partnerships, and find personal equilibrium. We are called to recognize what no longer works and set a clear intention for something truer and more aligned with who we’ve become.

The Grand Cardinal Cross that this New Moon forms with Jupiter, Pluto, Chiron, and Eris is a test of our inner balance. It compels us to face the patterns that hurt and weaken us, so that we can heal and transform them.

The square to Pluto in Aquarius exposes unconscious forces, fears, obsessions, traumas, suppressed emotions, or hidden truths, revealing both our own shadow and that of others. It calls us to confront darkness, to purge outdated models of power, control, and dependency, so that we may be reborn and begin anew from a place of authenticity.

At the same time, the square to Jupiter in Cancer amplifies emotions and expectations. It may increase our longing for security, but it also challenges us to confront exaggerations, inflated hopes, and illusions.

Meanwhile, the opposition of the Sun and Moon to Chiron and Eris in Aries activates old wounds of rejection and betrayal, and stirs the anger that arises from injustice and exclusion. It illuminates the wound of identity and survival, the vulnerabilities we may project onto our relationships, trapping us in cycles of inadequacy, pain, or conflict.

During this lunation, we are sensitive and exposed. Each of us may be hurting for different reasons, feeling injustice touching our hearts, whether through personal relationships or the collective mirror of society. The invitation is to honor every wound that has shaped who you are, to set boundaries, and to meet what remains unhealed with compassion and courage, avoiding procrastination or hollow compromise, the shadows of Libra.

This is a time to clear the soil, to remove the weeds of what has “died” and drains your energy, relationships, stories, or self-narratives that no longer empower you, and to claim something better and more aligned.

As this New Moon in Libra forms a YOD (Finger of God) with Saturn in Pisces, Neptune in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini, the cosmos calls for realignment and self-adjustment. It shows that maintaining peace at all costs is no longer enough.

You are asked to redefine how you combine sensitivity with boundaries, dreams with reality, and the need for stability with the winds of change in your relationships and commitments.

Saturn in Pisces asks you to set limits, discern what deserves to stay and what must be released. Neptune in Aries tests your ability to act with inspired authenticity from inspiration from the soul’s desires, and warns against impulsive actions born from illusion. Uranus in Gemini derlivers unexpected revelations that shatter old assumptions and demand flexibility and truth in how you relate.

This web of aspects may bring moments of confusion or tension, but it is an energetic test of maturity. If we meet it with awareness, it can lead to healing, clarity, and a renewed sense of balance and self-trust.

As Mercury and Mars unite in Scorpio, forming a Grand Water Trine with Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, a new current of understanding emerges. This is an alignment of emotional intelligence, strategic depth, and divine timing, favoring especially the third decan of Water and Earth signs.

Words, thoughts, and decisions now carry transformative power. What is expressed or decided can have a healing, cathartic effect with lasting impact.

 This configuration encourages passionate truth, instinctive wisdom, and the courage to face and resolve what once felt impossible. It grants emotional maturity, faith, and endurance, promising stability and long-term rewards for anyone willing to act from emotional authenticity.

The Sabian Symbol of this New Moon, “Mankind seeks to bridge the knowledge gap,” symbolizes the distance between what we know and what we are capable of learning.

At the end of Libra, just before we enter  Scorpio’s transformative initiation, we stand at a threshold of evolution, called to move beyond appearances and conventions, and to seek the truth beneath the surface.

In our times, the “gap” may symbolize the rift between science and ethics, technological progress and spiritual maturity, mind and heart, or simply between self and other.

This New Moon calls us to bridge these gaps with empathy, sincerity, and understanding.
Knowledge alone is not enough; we must integrate it with compassion, acceptance, and heart-based wisdom.

Humanity has learned to connect but not yet to unite.
This lunation asks each of us to become a bridge of union.
Each thought that serves unity, each dialogue that fosters understanding,
Each act that heals division becomes a plank in that sacred bridge.

You may feel the gap between what you know and what you are ready to understand,
Between what you say and what you truly feel,
Between what you show and who you really are, but do not fear the gap.
It is your passageway.
It is the space between who you were and who you are becoming, the threshold where awareness is born and transforms into Light.

As we recalibrate our inner scales, may this New Moon help us release the weight of old stories and fill the space with truth, justice, love, and clear intention.

Wishing you all a blessed and luminous New Moon!✨🌙⚖🕊☮

With love💓💓💓
