Libra New Moon: Which values are still accurate?
A time of realignment
Quick links:
─── ⚖️ ✦ 🦂 ───
As described in the last blog (in the last chapter), we experienced a concentrated Scorpio energy in the first days of October, which forced clarity within us.
How do you approach it? Personally, journaling and reflecting in the mornings has helped me tremendously to gain more clarity, peace, and focus. But I've also had to use healing methods to release old and trapped (persistent) emotions. I really enjoy working with the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and the Emotion Code.
The pressure was, and in some cases still is, enormous. It demands that we look closely and decide:
◆ What should happen next?
◆ What can be let go of – including inner attitudes and beliefs?
◆ Where do we need to adjust our attitude?
◆ What simply no longer makes sense?
Perhaps we even realized that at certain points there is no turning back. That we must follow a chosen path to the end to find out where it leads us and how far we can go – despite all our fears and the unknown.
Libra New Moon: A small initiation for our balance
A new moon will occur on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 5:50 p.m. at 17°21′ Libra . The sun and moon will meet in the section of the zodiac associated with Libra.
The moon is fully immersed in the energy of the Libra sun and undergoes a minor initiation. We too can consciously recharge at this energetic oasis – for example, with a ritual.
However, this new moon carries a special signature due to the many retrograde periods. A classic "wish list" falls short this time. Rather, it's about a process of reviewing and readjusting the Libra areas in the horoscope.

Special features of this Libra new moon
✦ The ruler of the new moon, Venus, is retrograde.
Relationships, values, finances, self-worth, desires, and our ideas about what is valuable to us are put to the test.
A key question these weeks could be: What is truly valuable to me today – and does my life still reflect these values?
✦ Venus and Mercury are both in Scorpio.
Mercury is already moving through the shadow of its upcoming retrograde motion. Conversations, information, and insights can now bring to light issues that will occupy us even more intensely in the coming weeks.
We learn new things. We understand connections differently. And we realign ourselves accordingly.
✦ Venus and Mercury have been in a strong tense aspect with Mars and Pluto since the beginning of October. The next peak of this tension is expected from Sunday evening, October 11th, to Monday evening, October 12th.
With massive digging, beliefs, desires, fears, and possibly also old power or relationship patterns are brought to the surface. There, we can examine and scrutinize them in the light of day.
Do I really still want this?

A recommendation for stability and your well-being
This phase can be unsettling, sometimes even arduous, due to the internal processes.
I find daily grounding and small moments of joy particularly helpful.
Walking barefoot through wet grass, taking a cold shower, breathing consciously, getting enough sleep, and allowing the body to rest. Spending time in nature or with beloved pets who live fully in the present moment. Being with children also grounds you.
Less screen time is also beneficial. Picking up a book again, visiting a bookstore, or consciously observing something beautiful can have a surprisingly healing and regulating effect.
A phase of honest observation
This Libra new moon clearly bears the signature of testing, looking back, deepening, aligning and adapting , as it is teeming with retrogrades:
↺ Uranus
↺ Neptune
↺ Pluto
↺ Saturn
↺ Venus
As mentioned, Mercury is also already in the shadow of its upcoming retrograde motion.
This concentrated backward movement draws a lot of energy inwards. Experiences need to be processed, decisions reviewed, and developments first understood.
The first days of October may have really softened or even destabilized us.
Perhaps we will even succeed in increasingly embracing a new reality. Leaving behind familiar ground that once provided security, but has since become too rigid.

Ritual recommendation
Choose the time to suit your intention:
⚖️ For balance and harmony in relationships:
From the new moon on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 5:50 p.m., until Sunday, October 11, 2026, at approximately 5:20 p.m. Afterwards, the moon moves into Scorpio.
🦂 For truthfulness, depth, and transformation in relationships:
From Sunday, October 11, 2026, at approximately 5:21 p.m. , when the moon enters Scorpio. This energy will accompany us until the night of Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at approximately 3:00 a.m.
Choose the questions that spontaneously appeal to you and reflect on them deeply.
Perhaps you would like to make an entry about this in your journal.
✦ What new things have I discovered about myself in the past few weeks?
Has something important changed in my life? Have I changed? How would I describe this change to a good friend?
✦ Where am I trying to cling to something with all my might that is already in the process of changing or flowing away?
✦ What does this potential loss or change trigger in me?
✦ Who am I when a previously important foundation – for example, a person, a possession, a role, or an idea of myself – is no longer there?
✦ How can I tell that my self-esteem is healthy and growing? And what experiences cause it to waver?
✨ If you're creating an intention list ("wish list") for this new moon, it's recommended to choose goals that involve upgrading existing themes and situations, rather than completely new beginnings. But as always, there's no right or wrong. Follow your intuition.

Key themes for your sign
First, read the section for your ascendant. You can read about your sun sign – your classic zodiac sign – as a supplement.
♈ Aries Ascendant | Aries
Your relationships may need new rules.
Reviewing your values and realigning your priorities particularly affects your one-to-one relationships – both personal and professional.
At the same time, the desire to realize your creative passion projects, spend more time with your children, or simply bring more joy and pleasure into your life can become strong. This can clash with existing shared values, agreements, or financial entanglements.
Open, honest conversations help to make differences visible and to find a new balance that better suits your current development.
You are also in the midst of a long-term restructuring of yourself. The birth of this new version of yourself will take several more months. It requires patience, trust, and perseverance.
♉ Taurus Ascendant | Taurus
Your everyday life should once again fit the person you are today.
The realignment affects routines, work environment, health, nutrition and everything that shapes your daily rhythm – even pets can play a role.
At the same time, a strong impulse may arise to change something at home, to remodel, or to create more space for yourself. Your personal or professional partners may have their own ideas about this. Talk about it. Good solutions will emerge where your daily life adapts to your new needs, without constantly neglecting yourself or others.
A deep inner process is also taking place in the background. If you feel the need for retreat, peace, art, or quiet reflection, take this need seriously. Your psyche needs time to keep pace with all the changes.
♊ Gemini Ascendant | Gemini
What makes your heart sing and shine?
Passion projects, creativity, children, dating, leisure time, and the joy of life need to be re-evaluated. Perhaps recently, many things have been sensible, productive, or necessary – and the vibrant aspects of life have been somewhat neglected.
At the same time, things are changing in your immediate surroundings. Conversations, siblings, neighbors, learning, or new ideas can demand a lot of energy. This can clash with existing daily and work demands. Now is the time to redefine your priorities: What do you consciously want to set aside more time for in your life?
Your friendships, the groups you belong to, and your longer-term future plans are also undergoing a major process of change. Not every old goal has to automatically remain your next one.
♋ Cancer Ascendant | Cancer
Your inner and outer home wants to be reorganized.
Family, living situation, origins, and your sense of emotional security are the focus of this new moon. What does "home" mean to you today? And what do you need to feel truly supported?
At the same time, questions surrounding money, possessions, and self-worth can create more pressure. Perhaps you want to become more financially independent or act more in accordance with your own values.
Professionally, you are also undergoing a longer-term reorientation. Your role in the world is changing – and with it, possibly the question of what kind of security you still need.
♌ Leo Ascendant | Leo
Express what has changed inside you.
This new moon will activate and re-evaluate your way of communicating and your immediate environment, siblings and relatives.
You yourself are currently bringing a lot of energy and assertiveness to the table. This allows you to present yourself more clearly – and perhaps also to react more quickly if something doesn't meet your expectations. At the same time, a lot is shifting beneath the surface in your family or personal life. Old family patterns, housing issues, or emotional bonds may be redefined.
Your view of the world is also undergoing a long-term process of change. Beliefs, travel, further education, or spiritual topics can lead you to significantly broaden your previous perspective.
Virgo Ascendant | Virgo
What is your life – and what are you yourself – really worth to you?
Finances, possessions, income, and self-worth are directly illuminated by this new moon.
Perhaps you're currently reviewing where you spend your money, time, and energy. Do these decisions still align with your current priorities?
Conversations can bring many things to the surface. Topics involving siblings, relatives, or your close circle can also trigger deeper questions.
At the same time, a lot of energy is at work behind the scenes. Be careful not to push yourself beyond your inner limits, so that your mind has enough space and peace. Meditation, music, or other spiritual practices can now be an important outlet for inner balance.
Shared finances, emotional dependencies, and deep bonds are also undergoing a long-term process of clarification. Clear boundaries and a stable sense of self-worth are becoming increasingly important.
♎ Libra Ascendant | Libra
You are realigning yourself.
This new moon is taking place in your sign and can therefore feel very immediate: Who are you today? How do you want to present yourself? What still suits you – and which version of yourself have you long since left behind?
Money, possessions, and self-worth also play an important role. Venus retrograde invites you to take a very close look at your personal values and possessions. Friendships, groups you belong to, and their future plans can simultaneously demand a lot of energy and challenge your own priorities.
Your one-on-one relationships, both personal and professional, are undergoing a prolonged process of change. Clarity about who you are and what you need will form the basis for a new balance with others.
♏ Scorpio Ascendant | Scorpio
Part of your realignment is still happening behind the scenes.
This new moon activates your sanctuary, your subconscious, and issues that initially need to be processed internally. You don't have to name everything or bring it out into the world yet.
Venus and Mercury in your sign simultaneously make you very attentive to your own development. You may reconsider your demeanor, your desires, your relationships – or even your self-image.
You may have plenty of energy and ambition in your professional life. But your body and your daily routines also need attention. Right now, it's crucial not to just function. Your inner reorganization needs space.
♐ Sagittarius Ascendant | Sagittarius
Which people and visions of the future still fit your path?
Friendships, networks, groups, and long-term shared goals are illuminated anew by this new moon. You might find that you no longer feel as connected to certain people or visions as you once did. At the same time, new contacts or ideas may emerge.
However, deeper emotional processes are taking place in the background that are not yet fully tangible. Give yourself time.
The desire to travel, learn, broaden one's horizons, or experience new things can be strong and challenge you to break out of your existing patterns of thinking and communication.
Creativity, self-realization, and joy in life are also part of a longer-term maturation process. Ask yourself: What truly fulfills me – not sometime in the future, but today?
♑ Capricorn Ascendant | Capricorn
Your career direction can be renegotiated.
Career, vocation, visibility, and your role in the public eye are all activated by this new moon. You might find yourself wondering where you actually want to go professionally – and whether your previous goals still reflect your current values.
At the same time, issues surrounding shared finances, obligations, or emotional bonds can create pressure. Friendships and networks may also change and be re-evaluated.
At home and within your family, a longer-term restructuring is also underway. These changes can influence how much professional responsibility you want to take on in the future. Your definition of success may need to change.
Aquarius Ascendant | Aquarius
Your horizons want to expand.
Travel, further education, publishing, worldview, and existential questions are the focus of this new moon. Perhaps your perspective on a topic will fundamentally change: a course, a trip, a conversation, or a new insight could play a significant role.
At the same time, partnerships demand a lot of energy. Needs and expectations may need to be renegotiated.
Professional matters also undergo a rigorous review process. What do you want to represent publicly? What kind of work aligns with your values?
And you yourself, with Pluto in your sign, are in the midst of a profound transformation. The person embarking on these new paths is no longer quite the same as before.
♓ Pisces Ascendant | Pisces
Trust, closeness, and shared resources require clarity.
Shared finances, insurance, inheritances, but also debts and mortgages, as well as emotional bonds, sexuality, and deep psychological processes are activated by this new moon. It can reveal where giving and receiving have become unbalanced.
At the same time, you might want to travel more, learn more, or broaden your intellectual horizons. However, reconciling these desires with everyday life, work, and health needs might not be without its challenges.
Your self-esteem and how you manage your own resources are undergoing a significant long-term reorganization. A key question could be:
What truly belongs to me – and what do I carry for others?

Do you want to know where this new moon will affect you personally?
Perhaps you've wondered a few times now what exactly all this triggers in your horoscope and what it means for your life. Your birth chart is considerably more complex than the interpretation of the new moon. The combination of these elements precisely reveals your next steps.
If you would like to know in which areas of life the changes are becoming apparent , I still have reading slots available in October.
Imagine a reading as being a bit like a conversation with a good friend who, with an astrological perspective, delves into your current situation from the outside – and takes a close look at who you are and where you stand.
If you're facing a decision regarding your relationship, career, or personal direction, we'll delve deeper together: What dynamics are at play right now? What wants to change? And what next steps truly suit you?
So that you can then continue on your path with clarity, strength, and more confidence.

I wish us all a clarifying Libra new moon – and lots of courage to look honestly and to break new ground.
