⚖️  What Can You Expect from the New Moon in Libra 2025?

New moons represent the chance for a new cycle or chapter to begin. Since this is the start of something new, a new moon is an opportune time for manifesting and setting intentions. Whatever intentions, manifestations, and wishes you cast on the new moon may come to fruition over the next six months. Since this new moon will represent the start of a six-month cycle, you should think positively of what’s to come your way.

The next six months will expand upon Libra’s themes, which include the following: reciprocity, peace, justice, commitment, and balance. Whatever you choose to manifest or set intentions for will hopefully balance something in your life. For example, a romantic connection or working relationship should provide some sort of relief. Likewise, you could feel at peace if you receive long-awaited justice. With this in mind, you should know that this peace will come at the cost of engaging in compromise, reciprocity, and mediation. Whatever you desire is within reach, but you must be willing to meet the other party halfway. In other words, this may look like following through with going on a first date or completing a job application. Don’t be wishy-washy if you know there’s a chance to manifest harmony in your life.

🧠  Overall Theme: Will you do it? The sign of the scales will ask you to weigh the pros and cons of your potential lunar ventures. Your intentions, manifestations, and goodwill aren’t enough to make something materialize. The new moon in Libra asks you to be self-assured by committing to what you desire. Ask, and ye shall receive. 

💫   What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the New Moon in Libra 2025

The new moon in Libra doesn’t seem to make any strong aspects to other planets or astrological bodies at the time of totality. Although relatively unaspected, there will be other surrounding astrological energies to consider at the start of your new six-month cycle. 

A strong desire to act on your words and ideas arises on October 20, as Mercury in Scorpio conjuncts Mars in Scorpio. The intuitive alignment between the cosmic messenger and warring planet inspires determination. Don’t just say you’re going to do something, do it. Given that the new moon in Libra can be known for indecision, this Mercury-Mars alignment can reinforce your confidence and bravery to take off with a new venture. Put your hat in the ring; start a conversation; act on your impulse. The path will continue to clear, since Neptune retrograde will re-enter Pisces on October 22. Between these two transits sandwiching the new moon, you should have a fairly good idea of where you want to take your life over the next six months. 

🌑  Tips & Tricks to Create Your New Moon in Libra Ritual

The new moon in Libra can be honored through various practices, rituals, and offerings. In particular, you may want to consider doing rituals aligned with Libra. Align your lunar magick with Libra’s correspondences, symbols, and more to amplify your new moon ritual.

Since Libra is a cardinal air, this would be the perfect new moon to incorporate the air element into your lunar ritual. Air can be a bit tricky since you cannot harness it like you can with fire from a flame, earth from your backyard, or water from your sink. However, you can think of yourself as the vessel for air to flow in and out of. Honoring this element means honoring the breath you take. Meditating, chanting, and yoga are wonderful ways to focus on your breath. You can also breathe life into your lunar ritual by gently blowing on your ritual tools. Air can also be represented by its alchemical symbol, 🜁, in your spellwork.

Libra’s energy can be invoked through tarot cards, animals, and deities. [Libra aligns with two major arcana cards: The Empress and Justice. Each card represents radically different sides of Libra, so be mindful of which one you use in your lunar ritual. The Empress can assist with fertility, growth, beauty, and abundance. Justice will aid in truthwork, balance, restoring equilibrium, and literal justice. Aside from tarot, Libra can be represented through various symbols. The scales are the most recognizable symbol associated with this air sign. However, you could also represent Libra as animals, flowers, and symbols that you feel connected to. Swans, doves, roses, hydrangeas, and the symbol for Venus would work perfectly. As the new moon approaches, these deities might become more active: Aphrodite/Venus, Demeter/Ceres, Persephone, Freya, Vár/Vór, Harmonia, Themis, and Anubis.

Additionally, you may feel called to work with herbs, crystals, and colors associated with Libra. Herbal recommendations include catnip, lady’s mantle, and elderberry. You may feel called to Rose Quartz, Pink Opal, and Rhodonite to enhance your spell’s magickal energy. Libra’s colors—pink and green—are the best colors to use in your lunar ritual.
