The Libra New Moon on October 10, 2026 invites us into a deeper exploration of balance, relationship, justice, reciprocity, and the ways we communicate with one another. With the Sun and Moon together at 17° Libra opposite Saturn in Aries, this New Moon asks us to consider not only what we want from our relationships and communities, but also what genuine balance may require from us. In this episode of Everything is Energy, I explore the astrology of the Libra New Moon, including its supportive connection with Jupiter in Leo and the powerful Mars-Pluto opposition still moving through the chart. Mercury and Venus come together in Scorpio at an important focal point, drawing our attention beneath the surface of our relationships, conversations, values, and assumptions. With Venus now retrograde—and Mercury preparing to retrograde later this month—there is a strong invitation to revisit what we value, reconsider what we thought we understood, and listen more deeply. We also explore Mars conjunct Varuna in Leo, Pluto conjunct Altair in Aquarius, Uranus conjunct Sedna in Gemini, the continuing Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and the larger configurations connecting these energies. Again and again, the chart brings us back to communication, relationship, personal responsibility, and the question of how we create meaningful balance in a changing world. I close the episode with a guided New Moon meditation, Returning to What We Know. We begin floating in a peaceful ocean, experiencing the feeling of being completely held and supported, before two dolphins invite us beneath the surface to reconnect with an ancient place of remembering. It is a meditation for reciprocity, inner fullness, deeper listening, and remembering the wisdom we already carry.
