New Moon at 17 degrees Libra on October 10, 2026

Our new moon is happening on the 10th of October in the sign of Libra. Libra is the only sign that is "mechanical" and not represented by an actual being. What can that tell us right away? Measuring, assesseing, and evaluating is part of a scale's purpose. Venus rules the sign of Libra. Venus is currently retrograde in Scorpio but coming back for Libra. What insight can that bring? Venus in Scorpio is deep and intense. That area of our chart can feel like marshlands. If you're feeling the emotion and you're willing to delve deeper, the book Swamplands of the Soul: New Life in Dismal Places by James Hollis could be a good reference for you. Not for the feint of heart by the title alone maybe, but that's the psychological work inherent in the archetype of Scorpio. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, and you may be noticing "blockages" around emotions, or that the metaphorical water in this area of your chart feels stagnant or stuck somehow. Venus could be a reminder to pay attention to what attracts you but also what repulses you. What areas of life are you avoiding or not engaging with?

Venus gets a square from Mars in Leo, so there could be something activating, annoying, frustrating, etc about something or someone in your life. Take a step back and avoid reacting (if you can) and see what this scenario is showing you about what you want more of, or conversely, less of, in your life.

The sun and moon have also just finished opposing Saturn which also brings a certain seriousness to the discussion. Where have you been hearing the words "NO" or "not here" or a pulled focus?

Take a look at the themes in your Libra and Scorpio houses for more insight. Think back in 8 year increments (2018, 2010, 2002, etc) for other insights. Take some time to get grounded and set some new intentions. Perhaps it's making a commitment to come into balance where there have been places of extreme. Evaluate who and what is worth your time and energy.
