The Libra New Moon on October 21st brings the official end of Eclipse Season and the opening of a new pathway.
While new beginnings are unfolding, there is strong planetary activity under this October New Moon, making it unpredictable, yet charged with possibility.
Let’s dive deeper into what we can expect…
The New Moon in Libra, A Harmonizing Force
Libra is the sign of harmony. When the world is spinning and pulling us in different directions, it is the energy of Libra that beckons us to return to our center and to remember that life is all about balance.
At this time of year, we may feel certain pressures looming with growing responsibilities at work and at home. We may be feeling time speeding up and a sense of urgency to complete our to-do lists before the end of the year. Holiday plans may also be on our minds, which can be a source of great stress for many of us.
But under the Libra Sun and Moon, we are called to take a breath and to come back to our center. How can we forget the noise, release the judgment, and proceed ahead from a place of balance?
Take a moment to consider how creating balance in your life can be real for you. What three simple actions can you take right now to bring more balance into your day?
Your answer will depend on your unique situation, but remembering not to judge yourself or others can be a good starting point to release the grips that keep us out of balance and in a state of energetic disarray.
Release the judgment and watch how balance seems to find its way more seamlessly into your life.
Libra is not only about finding balance but about finding the middle ground. Perhaps we can’t solve all of our problems or get where we want to be just yet, but we can honor the progress we have made and recognize that we are on our way forward.
Finding gratitude for the journey we have walked this year so far can be another powerful way to find our balance.
The Libra New Moon Brings Wildcard Planetary Activity
While balance is our keyword under the Libra New Moon, we are going to have to come back to its vibration many times under this October 2025 New Moon because so many planets are activated.
When we have a large amount of planetary activity under a New Moon, it creates some wildcard energy and it becomes unclear how this New Moon is going to affect us or play out.
The energy behind it is busy, with so many planets adding their influence to the mix. When this happens, we can feel scattered, all over the place, and removed from our regular reality.
It could be that this New Moon brings some events or energies that allow us to escape from our regular day to day routines. This could be welcomed, or perhaps very stressful! It could be that this New Moon abruptly opens the door to a new pathway that we were perhaps not expecting.
While the energies of last month’s Solar Eclipse are fading, we may still be greeted with some surprises surrounding this New Moon that rattle and shake the path that we were on.
Remember, New Moons open portals to new beginnings, so whatever transpires, recognize that you are being guided into a new chapter of your life.
Eris and Chiron, a Power Couple Under the Libra New Moon
While there are many planetary influences buzzing under the 2025 Libra Full Moon, my attention wants to turn toward Eris and Chiron, both of which are opposite this New Moon.
Eris was active under the Aries Super Full Moon we had earlier in the month, so the fact that she has arisen again feels significant.
Eris is all about tuning into our authenticity. She sometimes requires us to break the rules, go off the well-trodden path, and create some rebellion in order to get there. She encourages us to stand up for ourselves and establishments that are designed to keep us small or stuck in limitation.
Eris is known as the Goddess of Discord and Strife, but she only creates this path of destruction when she recognizes that a greater harmony is possible.
Chiron, adds its energy to the mix too, bringing some incredibly healing vibrations our way.
It seems that whatever discord we are facing, there is healing on offer too.
Chiron wants us to find the power and strength in the wounds that find us. He reminds us that we have the power within us to turn our wounds into portals of wisdom, strength, and inspiration for ourselves and others.
Chiron’s story is one of hope, and reminds us that even in the darkest of emotions and moments, we always have the ability to rise and find our way forward.
Chiron doesn’t want us to sugarcoat our wounds or dress them up with false positivity; instead, he encourages us to own them as a part of who we are and to recognize the strength and alchemy that we went through in acquiring those wounds.
There is no doubt that Eris and Chiron are powerful forces, and their coming together under this wildcard New Moon seems to be a sign from the Universe to dig deep, push through to greater authenticity, and own our story.
