New Moon 28 degrees of Libra on October 21, 2025

A new Moon in Libra offers an opportunity to embrace something fresh and novel when it comes to relating, beauty, harmony, and balance. This New Moon is at one of the final degrees of Libra and receiving a square from Jupiter in Cancer. Now, if you've been following astrology, you know the aspect of a square brings up tension and perhaps even conflict. Something has to change. Isn't that what a New Moon heralds as well? So, in some way we are getting a 2nd reminder to open up to change.

Libra is a sign that is consistently aware of the open tension systems within a group. It's like a tuning fork in a sense. "Who or what is out of balance? Who needs some support? Where is the pressure or agitation? How can I soothe that anxiety?" But, notice that a lot of those questions are based on the external situation. Perhaps what could be encouraged with this lunation is by asking those questions of yourself first. With Jupiter squaring the lunation, it could make something bigger or perhaps even overwhelming, so in some way, there is no ignoring what is being lit up.

While I'm writing this post, my two dogs are behind me. One of them is gnawing on her paws incessantly. She has ignored all verbal requests to stop, so I nudged her with my toe, and instead of stopping, she decided to nip my other dog and now they're chasing each other around the room. In one sense, a triangle is a for that provides a stable base, but psychologically, when triangulated you're not being direct with another person, you're using a 3rd person to relay your messages, so it can feel manipulative. This can be part of the tension behind Libra. So, take note of what is simmering beneath the surface for you. Jupiter in Cancer can help you get in touch with the emotions behind the tension. I can't guarantee it'll feel good to be immersed in some of the emotions, but do take responsibility for any "swells" that occur. Consider the support systems you have within yourself. If you're struggling, who is a safe resource for you to vent to?

The ruler of this lunation is Venus and she is in a sign she rules and is also receiving trines (there's that triangle again...) from Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. Talk, journal, read, converse, consider, be as tactful as you can. Embrace each moment of balance, knowing that it's a Natural Law to just as quickly fall out of equilibrium. There is also a water trine between Mercury/Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces: submerge in all the watery emotions or just take a bath. Feel into situations and make the best decision for you.
