This Libra New Moon is a Major Portal
Tuesday, October 21, 2025
🌚This New Moon is BIG. It's our first since eclipse season, and it's in Libra, the home of Venus and where the sun is now. The eclipse portal is officially closed. Onward and forward we go. Now’s the time we alchemize the learnings and transformations that occurred over the past two months or so, and integrate with a new focus. The last full moon was in Aries, highlighting our relationships to ourselves and to others 🌝. Now we turn our eyes to the whole: how is this story working out for everyone involved? For all of us?
⚖️Libra is the sign of justice, balance, fairness, and harmony. Venus, ruler of Libra, facilitates that, plus connection, social cohesion, beauty, art, our values, sensuality, and unity. She’s in her home sign adding a layer of support to Luna, who’s imbued with the signature of relationships. It’s good jawn since Venus is one of the two benefic planets.
Today, we set intentions with these qualities in mind. Your intention might be a nod to what you intend to manifest over the course of the cycle, or it might be a question or an invitation to the Universe: “Show me how to be authentic and honest in my relationships so I can nurture the bonds with my beloveds and growth in my partnerships.” Or, “show me the path to compassion for all so I can contribute to our collective healing.” Or whatever.
What can you embrace or release to cultivate harmony in your relationships, partnerships, and/or love? 💗
Go Deeper: This moon is…complex, shall we say. It’s happening in the late degrees of Libra, so it’s a bit of a tight squeeze before both luminaries move into Scorpio. Think of it as the portal out of eclipse season and into a whole new deep era (because Scorpio) 😈. To add to its layers, the outer planets and Jupiter are involved too. Here’s a breakdown:
❤️🩹The new moon in Libra opposes Chiron, the wounded healer and music teacher, which is in Aries. Is there healing in your relationships to facilitate? Do you have the medicine for past wounds?
The new moon is the point of a yod (finger of god) with Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The energy of the angles in this signature points to the new moon in Libra from Saturn Rx in Pisces, Neptune (going retrograde tomorrow) in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini. It points to the change necessary for us to be best positioned to move forward with our relationships.
Jupiter in Cancer squares the new moon in Libra. Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, brings the goods. Any tension created by a square is a wash when Jupiter is involved—bring on the gifts! 🎁
The closing portal of this new moon is brief. It quickly moves into Scorpio, followed by the Sun, and Neptune stations retrograde in Aries. Now’s the time to go deep, dark, shadowy 🥷. We’re a month into Autumn, a season of internal reflection, regeneration, and restoration. As we review our relationship dynamics, we’re not only looking outward at others, but also inward at ourselves. How are we not only balancing, but centering and flowing? Can we allow ourselves to move below the surface and excavate what needs to be revealed? 🔐
