New Moon in Libra

Plant seeds of Balance

This New Moon in falls on Tuesday 21 October '25 at 28 degrees in the zodiac sign of Libra.

Gifting us a a powerful moment to set new intentions for partnerships, harmony, justice and balance.

Libra New Moon Energies

Libra is an air sign, ruled by Venus. It's is the achetype of harmony, beauty, relationships and fairness. Under a Libra new moon, the invitation is to balance. To bring grace into your giving and receiving. To call in more beauty (in your environment, in your speech, in your relationships). Because Libra also governs partnerships, this is a potent moment to look at where your relationships and partnerships need more harmony or ease. Libra is also flirty, playful and charming. So yes, let’s bring in diplomatic balance but do it with pleasure, aesthetics and joy.

Why “28°” Matters

The fact that this new moon lands at 28° (and that many of the new moons in coming months fall in late degrees) signals that we’re in a closure / elder energy phase. Astrologers call late degrees (25°–29°) “maturation degrees”. Energy that is wise, tested, integrating. It’s not raw beginner energy, nor brash peak energy, it’s the vintage wine.

So this Libra new moon is asking: What have I learned in relationships, in balance, in beauty and how do I bring that wisdom forward? And the fact that many new moons across the year land in 28° suggests a cosmic cycle is winding down, preparing for the next chapter.

How This Plays Out in Your Life & for the Year

Because we’re in this late-degree wave, for the rest of 2025 and into early 2026, it’s a period of completion, integration, preparation. We’re not being rushed into newness, we’re being asked to close loops, clarify, purify. Then once we cross into the new astrological year, the energy softens, refreshes, becomes more youthful again. This means:

• Be gentle with transitions

• Notice what’s ready to be released, what you’ve already grown through

• Set intentions not just for new growth, but for healing, forgiveness, alignment

• Use this lunar cycle to harvest wisdom, revise, refine, not force brand new systems

What New Moons Are

For those who aren’t yet used to working with the moon, here’s what you need to know about new moons. They’re the fresh beginnings of the lunar cycle, the moment the sky goes dark so we can dream in the unseen. New moons carry the energy of potential and planting. They invite you to pause, breathe and connect with your inner world before life starts to grow outward again. It’s a time to listen to your soul, set clear intentions and imagine what you want to call into your life next.

Ask yourself:

• What feels missing or ready for renewal?

• What energy do I want more of in my life?

• What seeds am I planting now that I wish to see bloom by month’s end or by the next season?

If this all feels a little vague or you’re not sure where to begin and if all of this sounds like cosmic gibberish, I’ve got you. My guide Lunar Living walks you through everything: how to understand your chart, how to move with the moon’s rhythm and how to make her cycles work for you instead of just flowing by.

Much lunar love, Momma Riki
