Libra New Moon
October 10, 2026: New Moon at Libra 17°22’, 11:50 am EDT.
This Moon Cycle emphasizes the transition from Libra to Scorpio. Libra is the first sign of the second half of the Zodiac; the development of the collective. Libra is the first stage of that development; the desire of the individual to be in relationship. Libra is concerned with all kinds of relationships – friends, family, community, work, partnership, and marriage.
While Libra is about the desire for relationship, Scorpio represents the merging of two individuals to create a third thing; hence the association of Scorpio with sex. Scorpio rules contracts of all kinds, including the marriage contract. While Libra describes the interaction between two people, Scorpio is the actual merging together of these separate beings in various ways – mental, emotional, and physical.
Scorpio is an emotionally powerful sign, known for its attraction to peak experiences. This is the place where the shadow shows up. If the desire for relationship overpowers an individual’s sense of self, dishonesty will overshadow the relationship. This can lead to resentment and difficulties with trust – core shadow issues for Scorpio.
During this Moon cycle expect deeply buried secrets to emerge, both within your personal relationships as well as within the collective. This will be challenging. The Dark Moon provides time for reflection. Are there secrets hidden within your relationships? Are there truths that you need to acknowledge?
As we enter this Moon cycle, Venus is retrograde in Scorpio and will re-enter Libra at the Full Moon. Pluto – ruler of Scorpio – will turn direct on October 15. Mercury will turn retrograde – in Scorpio – on October 24. The Taurus Full Moon is on October 25/26.
