Explore how this Libra New Moon renews relationships and sparks new beginnings after the deep dive of Mercury–Mars in Scorpio.

New Moon at 28 deg 21′ Libra, 13h25 UTC, 21st October 2025: Mercury/Mars at 19 deg Scorpio, 20th October 2025

This New Moon in the Cardinal, Air sign Libra suggests a reboot in the area of relationship. A new beginning which brings in ideas of negotiation, compromise and harmony. 

It’s ruled by Venus, also in Libra, where she is sociable and relational, appreciating beauty, art and music.

It was preceded by a Mercury/Mars conjunction in Scorpio which involved in-depth research and intense discussion and around joint finances, sex or inheritance. 

Mercury and Mars in Scorpio are a powerful combination for digging down deeply and exploring a subject in depth before moving on to make a commitment – or not – with this New Moon.

With Scorpio, emotions are deeply invested while Libra is more about civilised discussion and intellectual solutions.

Both Mars and Mercury are heading to a positive trine aspect with Jupiter suggesting the potential for expansion and for the opening up of life and opportunity could follow this New Moon.

However, Mercury is coming into its shadow period – the degree it will track back to in the upcoming retrograde cycle – suggesting there is time ahead for reflection and to let the ideas and conversations settle.

Wherever 28 degrees of Libra fall in your chart will be the focus of this new beginning with 18/19 Scorpio showing what needs to be worked through to make it happen.

Following its rebirth, the New Moon first contacts Pluto in a challenging aspect that asks about power, freedom and ideals.

Or perhaps asks about the use of science or our relationship to the planet as we move forward. or even demands where the power lies… How are these things implicated in our new ventures?

Libra is a Cardinal sign suggesting something may be initiated around this New Moon, something that we are prepared to fight for and are emotionally committed to. Like all seeds it will need careful nurturing to bring it to fruition, but the potential is there.
