Past eventNew Moon in Libra, October 2025
The New Moon in Libra is exact on October 21, 2025 at 8:25 AM EDT, at 28°22′ Libra. It favours new agreements, fairer relationships and a little more beauty in daily life. Its closest aspect is a square with Pluto, which colours the mood. Start small; it builds for two weeks.
What it means
Libra is the sign of partnership, balance and beauty. A New Moon in Libra is a good time to begin or renew agreements, rebalance give-and-take in a relationship, or make your surroundings more harmonious.
Libra seeks fairness, which starts with knowing what you want. Before you compromise, name your own position clearly — then the agreement can be real.
A New Moon happens when the Moon and Sun meet in the same degree. The Moon is dark, and in astrology it marks the start of a monthly cycle: a quiet moment to choose a direction, set an intention or start something small. Results build over the next two weeks, up to the Full Moon in the same half of the zodiac's story. You do not need a ritual — a clear sentence about what you want to grow is enough.
The sky around this New Moon
A tense angle to Pluto stirs power struggles and intense feelings. Choose honesty over control. A tense angle to Jupiter tempts excess — big promises, big spending. Keep plans realistic.
Venus, the traditional ruler of Libra, is at 9°29′ Libra at the moment of the New Moon. The house it falls in for you is where this lunation turns practical — see "by rising sign" below.
Nearby stations: Pluto turns direct on October 13 at 1°22′ Aquarius. A planet standing still close to a lunation tends to make its themes louder for a few days.
Retrograde at this New Moon: Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Their topics favour review and repair over brand-new launches.
Lunations in the same sign come in pairs about six months apart. What you start at this New Moon reaches its peak at the Full Moon in Libra on April 1, 2026, at 12°21′ Libra — a natural checkpoint for whatever you set in motion now.
