🌑 New Moon 2026
New Moon in Libra
Saturn demands commitment and Jupiter offers reward — the New Moon for relationships that are both beautiful and built to last.
What This New Moon Brings
The Libra New Moon on October 10 at 17°21' arrives with two powerful planetary conversations happening simultaneously: Saturn sits opposite, demanding maturity and commitment, while Jupiter forms a supportive sextile, offering expansion and reward. This is not a casual lunation. It's the New Moon that asks you to get serious about the people you share your life with — and promises that doing so will make both of you larger.
Libra is the zodiac's relationship architect — it understands that beauty isn't just aesthetic, it's structural. A beautiful relationship has balance. A beautiful agreement has fairness. A beautiful partnership has both freedom and accountability. Saturn's opposition adds weight to these ideals: it's no longer enough to want harmony; you have to build it with the same discipline you'd bring to any meaningful craft. Some relationships will deepen under this pressure. Others will reveal that they were built on niceness rather than genuine commitment.
Jupiter's sextile is the sweetener in this cosmic cocktail. It says: the rewards of doing the hard relational work are real and substantial. Partnerships formed or strengthened under this New Moon have both the structural integrity of Saturn and the generous growth of Jupiter. Set intentions around the commitments you're ready to make — in love, in business, in creative collaboration, or in friendship. But make them with eyes open. Libra's scales demand honesty, and Saturn ensures there are consequences for imbalance.

Taurus
Your 6th house of daily routines gets Libra's balancing touch. Set intentions around creating more equilibrium in your work-life dynamic.

Set intentions around creating a harmonious home environment — not through peacekeeping, but through genuine equity. Saturn demands that family agreements be real, not just comfortable.
Leo
The 3rd house of communication gets Libra's refined touch. Set intentions around how you communicate in relationships — listening as much as you perform, asking as much as you declare.

Scorpio
The 12th house of the subconscious gets Libra's relational lens. Your unconscious relationship patterns — the ones running the show from backstage — are ready for examination. Set intentions around understanding why you choose the partners you choose and what old scripts need retiring. Saturn demands honesty. Jupiter offers freedom through self-awareness.
Sagittarius
Your 11th house of community and friendships receives this commitment-oriented energy.

Travel with a partner — romantic or platonic — could deepen the bond significantly. Growth happens in dialogue, not monologue.
Pisces
The 8th house of shared resources and emotional depth receives Libra's fairness-seeking energy. Financial entanglements need rebalancing — who's carrying more weight? Set intentions around creating genuine equity in shared financial matters and emotional vulnerability. Saturn opposite insists on the uncomfortable conversation. Jupiter sextile promises it will bring you closer, not further apart.
Intention Setting
New Moons are for planting seeds. Set intentions with these practices.
The Partnership Mirror
Write two lists side by side: what you bring to your most important relationship, and what you need from it. Then ask your partner (or close friend) to do the same. Compare the lists together with Libra's diplomatic spirit — no defensiveness, just honest assessment. Use the conversation as the basis for your New Moon intentions about how to create greater balance.
Justice Candle Ritual
Libra is associated with the Justice card in tarot. Light a pink candle (Libra's color of love) and a blue candle (Saturn's color of commitment) side by side. As they burn, write an intention for each: one about what you want to receive in relationships, and one about what you commit to giving. The two flames burning together symbolize the reciprocity that Libra demands.
Beauty as Devotion
Create something beautiful in your home — arrange flowers, set a beautiful table for dinner, hang art that moves you. As you create this beauty, set an intention about bringing the same care and aesthetics to your relationships. Libra knows that beauty isn't superficial; it's a form of respect. The environments we create reflect the quality of connection we're willing to cultivate.
Scales of Intention
Draw a simple balance scale on paper. On one side, write what you want to commit to in the coming months. On the other side, write what you need to receive to sustain that commitment. If the scale doesn't balance, adjust until it does. Saturn insists that unsustainable commitments eventually collapse; Jupiter promises that balanced ones expand. Post your balanced scale where you'll see it daily.
