The skies offer a fresh start with a harmonious helping hand during this New Moon in Libra. With the Sun and Moon aligned in the same sign, there is a sense of euphony between our identity and feelings, and in the sign of balance, this especially reigns true. With Libra ruling the sky for this lunation, there is an urge to establish more harmony in our environments and create a sense of order and balance in our lives.
October's New Moon sets the stage for the rest of Autumn, guiding us with an influence that encourages us to see both sides of every story. This is a time to proactively reestablish any lost balance. When we feel centered in our daily lives, we can approach life's challenges from a place of peace, clarity, and common sense.
This New Moon occurs in the 29th degree, falling on the final day of Libra season. When a New or Full Moon activates this anaretic degree, it is often interpreted as a critical turning point, symbolizing the end of a cycle. This placement can generate intense energy and a powerful sense of urgency, making us feel like something must be decided or figured out right now. However, I'm here to remind you to slow down. On the other hand, if things are currently feeling aligned, embrace them as they are.
Libra's all-encompassing connection to love and relationships sometimes suffers the negative side effects of looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. In Libra's realm, we can't help falling in love with the idea of a desired outcome, but as the wise men say, only fools rush in. Take time to reflect before rushing into a hasty decision, and resist being led by naïve judgements or unrealistic expectations.
As with any sign ruled by Venus, this New Moon offers a chance to focus on all relationship dynamics, not just the romantic ones. Take note of how you are engaging with others. Libra teaches graceful timing: Take a breath before you speak, reflect before you retreat, and observe before you decide.
It's also worth noting that this is the first New Moon after Eclipse Season. Whatever has been left behind has created more space for you to set intentions that honor your truest self. Don't be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you. The day after this New Moon, the Sun enters Scorpio, ushering us into a new chapter where the magic of Halloween comes alive. The shortening daylight reminds us to turn inward, enjoy the colors of the season while we can, and release the past when it 's necessary. The intentions you set here could shape the remaining time of 2025. Ask yourself: What loose ends need tidying? What was on your 2025 mood board that hasn't been accomplished yet? What have you been holding back from saying?
May this New Moon offer you an emotional reset and fresh start so you can look to the horizon with renewed anticipation.
Sending you love and insight,
Kendra
