New Moon in Libra

The Moon catches up with the Sun at 28°22′ Libra on 21 October 2025, 12:27 UTC. Both bodies stand at the same degree, which is what a new moon is: the Moon is between us and the Sun, its lit face turned away, invisible from the ground.

Traditionally this is the start of a cycle rather than the end of one — the point at which something is begun quietly and without much evidence it will work. The air quality of Libra colours what is being started: an idea, a conversation or a connection opens, well before anything concrete is built on it.

Because Libra is cardinal, the cycle it opens tends to start abruptly and demand a decision early.
