New Moon in Libra – October 21, 2025
Can you feel it? This New Moon in Libra (happening at 28 degrees, or the end of the sign) is closing out the Eclipse portal for 2025. This New Moon feels like a breath of fresh air, and it’s time to focus on bringing harmony back to our lives and relationships.
Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet named for the goddess of love, so love is in the air! This love may be shared with someone else, or you might find a newfound love for yourself. There’s also a sense of appreciation for the aesthetics and comfort of things around you, so pamper yourself a little bit with this New Moon. It’s a great time to reset intentions for self-care, romance, and partnerships of all types.
If you have a significant natal placement in one of the Cardinal signs – Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn – you’re really going to feel the shift in your life. New people, new opportunities, new passion, new creativity…it’s all coming for you, witch!
Libra is often depicted as a pair of scales, which is perfect, because this sign is all about balance and harmony. The world is undeniably wacky right now, but this New Moon is an invitation to bring ourselves back to what grounds, centers, and nurtures us. Because that cliché about not being able to pour from an empty cup is 100 percent accurate.
We’re officially in Q4 at work, excited for Samhain and Halloween at home, and looking forward to the Yule and holiday season right around the corner. This New Moon, however, is your chance to set your to-do list aside for a moment and refocus on what’s most important in your life.
Along with this harmony is some wild card energy. Both Eris and Chiron are opposing the New Moon, so we’re going to be called to focus on our authenticity (Eris) and healing (Chiron). Eris is all about radical honesty…with ourselves. As the goddess of discord, she encourages us to break the rules and rebel when we need to. Her destruction is like fire – it can also create.
Chiron is the wounded healer who wants us to remember that we are strong beyond our imagination. Our wounds, and more importantly, our healing, make us more powerful. They serve as paths to inspiration and wisdom. So, together, these two celestial guides are encouraging us to embrace our authentic selves, stand up for ourselves, and stop seeing our wounds as weaknesses. That’s a huge deal, and it could lead to some surprising energy in your life!
Let’s get into what the New Moon has in store for you.
New Moon in Libra Horoscopes
Aries: Collaboration, open communication, and meeting others halfway will help you build the relationships you crave, whether they’re work-related or in your personal life. Want to experience some positive momentum? Lean into the support of other people and don’t be afraid to compromise.
Taurus: Set intentions around your daily routines. Venus also rules your sign, so creating harmony and opportunities for self-love are great focal points for you right now. Don’t be afraid to set boundaries with coworkers or friends who draw too much of your energy away from you.
Gemini: This is an extremely heart-opening New Moon for you. Expect romance and heightened creativity. This is a great time to fall in love with a new exhibit at the art museum or rewatch your favorite sappy movie. Set intentions around how you’d like to spend quality time with loved ones for the rest of the year.
Cancer: It’s time to plump those pillows and nest a bit. This New Moon is bringing your home life into focus. If there’s been some strife in your personal relationships, it’s time to mend bridges and focus on healing within and without.
Leo: Now’s the time to focus on your communication methods. The Moon will support you as you make new plans and partnerships, and heal injuries that have happened recently, thanks to miscommunication issues. Jupiter may make you feel especially prideful this month, so make sure to listen more than you speak.
Virgo: You’ve been struggling with priorities lately, but that disharmony between your emotional reality and your finances is finally smoothing out. Tap into how much energy you’re investing in other people and set some boundaries if you have an energy vampire in your midst.
Libra: It’s your New Moon! Your lunar “birthday” and time to reset. Your self-image and identity come into focus this lunation, and it’s your reminder to realign your desires with your reality. You can’t please everyone, Libra, so set intentions around how to make sure you’re your most important priority.
Scorpio: You’re in for a big emotional release right before your season begins on October 23rd. Don’t be surprised by previously hidden emotions bubbling to the surface and you may feel uncharacteristically nostalgic when you least expect it. Remember that’s all part of your healing process!
Sagittarius: Libra season’s desire for harmony is bringing balance to your partnerships this New Moon. Don’t make promises you can’t keep, and make sure not to over-schedule yourself this month. Your partnerships will thrive when you’re honest with yourself.
Capricorn: Partnerships and public-facing connections will be highlighted during this New Moon. New and strong career partnerships will have a big impact on your growth. How can you focus on mutual benefit in these relationships? There’s so much room for you both to thrive.
Aquarius: Any long-distance relationship you have will become stronger around the New Moon. You’ll also feel more harmony and balance in your personal belief system. Be open-minded when you meet people from different backgrounds and perspectives. You never know what comes from a simple conversation!
Pisces: It’s ok to trust others you’re in a close relationship with. You can also trust yourself with money. As you seek balance in your love life and finances, you’ll find new possibilities opening up for you. Don’t be too generous with your time and emotions, and you’ll do great.
Happy New Moon, witches!
