Welcome back to who my cosmos. I’m talking about the Libra New Moon. That is this Saturday, October 10th, 2026 in the morning at like 9:50 Mountain time.Libra is ruled by Venus, and Venus is currently retrograde. Venus is the ruler of both Libra and Taurus. And it expresses itself through those two signs in very different ways. And in Libra, it is bringing our attention to the other, right? Our awareness of others is very highlighted in Libra. And our awareness of what would bring harmony around us to others is very highlighted. And the Libra New Moon pretty much means that the sun and the moon are together in the same moment, in the same degree point. And so really it’s about this snapshot of awareness of others. With the planet that rules Libra retrograde, we’re meant to be in this deep review of our relationships with others. Currently during the new moon that Venus, that ruler of Libra is in the sign of Scorpio, which is the sign after Libra, the sign that’s also about our relationships with others, just the intimacy of those relationships. Venus is the ruler of this new moon and Libra. There is this opportunity to become very, very aware of how we show up in relationship to others. We have Saturn in Aries- the polarity sign of Libra. They’re not directly opposing each other, but they are in polarity to each other. And that Saturn in Aries has been trying to get us to focus on our self discipline . It’s about, okay, I’m learning about what I need. And this is an opportunity to really check in with how I show up in my relationship with others. It’s really because Venus is retrograde, it has to be about our awareness of how we have shown up in the past, right, what we have done in the past in our relationships with others, what patterns, what cycles have surfaced. At this point in Venus retrograde, especially because it’s going to keep going backward in Scorpio and then hit Libra and get to about 20 degrees of Libra by the time it’s ready to go direct again come November 13th. So this is a whole Venusian cozy up with your cup of tea, and let’s chat about what has been transpiring in our relationships for years and years, right? This is that mirror opportunity. Everything that’s happening during the Venus retrograde is an opportunity for us to check in and be honest with ourselves around, have we seen this behavior before? We could have literal people coming back into our lives or resurfacing in our memory, having us question who was I then? Who was I with that person?What pattern was I in with that person, and how is that showing up maybe still with that person, that or how is the archetype of that person showing up in my present life through a different person, right? Because this Venus retrograde Libra New Moon, it is that checking in point. It is this call to stop, take a deep breath, close our eyes, open our eyes again, and look around us, and allow whoever is around us to reflect something significant about our past, as well as how far we’ve come. And if we’re still choosing the garbage of the past. If we’re still choosing the patterns that are toxic, that never worked out for us in the past, and are they doing that now, right? We have to ask ourselves these questions during this Libra New moon with that Venus retrograde, especially because Venus is forming a square to Mars. So Mars is currently in the fiery fixed sign of Leo and Mars. And Leo is a very proud Mars, right? This planet of taking action and doing it, it wants to feel proud of what it’s doing. It wants to feel confident in what it’s doing. It wants to feel seen and recognized in what it’s doing. So with the square to Venus and Scorpio retrograde, we’re being called to acknowledge that it doesn’t feel easy to feel confident right now, right? Scorpio Energy brings up our deeper emotional terrain, the stuff we don’t want to look at, the subconscious stuff, the stuff that keeps you up at night, right. And maybe the insecurities that are there. The part you that maybe doesn’t, feel what that Mars and Leo really wants to be embodying. And so the square between Venus and Mars-so Venus representing the feminine receptivity, our ability to attract and receive, and then Mars is the masculine ability to take action and to do. And so together they need each otherIt’s like the Yin and the yang, it’s, do, do & I need to receive, I need to take action, and I need to rest, right? There’s these energies that need each other with Mars and Venus. And when they’re squaring each other, they’re both kind of screaming at each other. And so it’s not easy to access what each of them needs. So with Venus retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo, we have to look at, you know, does it feel as hard as it feels to embody that confidence that Mars and Leo wants to embody because of what happened in my past? Because I’m still carrying the values and the expectations that others projected onto me as a child, as a young person? Am I still replaying those tapes from my past and allowing them to convince me that they’re actually a video of now, right, a video of this present moment?And so we have to be sort of wrestling questions, and wrestling is, is the of a square. It’s like, which win? And at the end of the day, because this is a new moon in Libra, we’re meant to harmonize. We’re meant to allow for Venus and Mars to find the divine lubrication that they need in order to give and receive to each other, in order to allow for each other to exist and be embodied and have a need, and realize that no one is more important than the other. So it’s not an easy task when there’s a square. But because it is a new moon in Libra, there’s a lot of Venusian energy. The Scorpio Energy-It’s been through so much. It believes on some level that it has to be hard. But at the highest expression of Scorpio, it knows that we can take that hard energy and alchemize it into the energy of ease. And so that’s why at the new moon every month, I record a guided meditation and energy healing release practice for you. Because it is a time to release what is no longer serving, so that you can move forward with more Grace and more ease. I encourage you to check that out if you are feeling the intensity of the fixed square, during this new moon and leading up to it. So just taking a really deep breath, just giving that to yourself right now, just giving yourself that deep breath, acknowledging whatever you’ve been going through. Because this new moon energy is so outward focused. It’s so focused on what’s outside of us, what is expected of us. And we can really get lost to that. We can really find ourselves in it. There’s another planet that’s an Aries, which is the polarity sign of Libra, the planet Neptune, right, this planet of dreams, this planet of coming out of illusion and into what’s real, Neptune that connects us with our higher self, the spiritual. This Neptune is in that sign of Aries, representing our own personal dream, our ability to manifest our dreams in this lifetime. This Neptune and Aries is squaring Black Moon, Lilith in Capricorn. So it is a Cardinal Square and Capricorn Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn represents the rage that we have about what’s not been built yet, what doesn’t have a structure to it yet in our lives, right.And so the square, right here’s Neptune and Aries saying I have a dream, and I get to fulfill it in this lifetime, and I believe in it. And here’s Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn squaring that personal dream, saying there’s no foundation here yet. You know, don’t of yourself. Um, you know, wisdom of someone that knows the hard work that it takes to really build a dream. And so we’re being asked to acknowledge that that’s real, right? We’re asked, we’re to acknowledge that there are parts that we’re not thinking about yet. There are, there parts of building this dream that we have that need to be acknowledged. And we have to step outside of the fantasy in order to do that. And that can feel hard becaus… This is a public episode.
