Libra New Moon: NOT a Manifesting New Moon
Oct 08, 2026
🌚 Happy Libra ♎️ new moon!
The new moon is happening on Saturday, October 10th, at 11:49 am ET at 17 degrees and 21 minutes in the sign of Libra.
While new moons are a great time to manifest a new beginning, this one… not so much and here’s why:
- Venus, as the ruler of Libra (and the dispositor of this new moon), is retrograde AND in the sign of its detriment, Scorpio
- Venus is in a T square with Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio and with Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio
In other words, Venus is all kinds of debilitated.
The one saving grace is that the new moon is supported by Jupiter, the great benefic, in a sextile aspect.
It's helpful, but not as much as you'd like it to be, since a sextile isn't the gift that a trine is, but rather requires some strategic effort on your part to make the magick happen.
Here's what to do with this energy instead:
Turn your focus inward and get introspective.
🥰 Venus represents self-love, value and self-worth.
⚖️ Libra is all about balance, equality and harmony.
😡 Mars in challenging aspect brings anger and aggression.
🥺 Pluto in challenging aspect brings extremest tendencies, manipulation, cynicism and depression.
🧠 Venus is conjunct Mercury, the planet of mindset and communication.
I'm inviting you to consider the ways you think about and speak about yourself and how that impacts your sense of self-worth and value.
Are your thoughts and words about yourself kind, compassionate and loving?
Or do they tend to be obsessive, extreme or manipulative towards yourself?
🤔 Not sure?
Here's my invitation to you:
🤓 Run the experiment.
This entire weekend (48 whole hours), set the intention to pay attention to your thoughts/words and notice which end of the spectrum they're leaning towards.
📝 Make note of your observations in your journal or in the notes app on your phone.
If you're not particularly tuned into what's going on in your brain, notice your feelings throughout the day.
🤯 Your body is reacting to your thoughts/words, often before your brain even notices what's going on.
If you're feeling tense, anxious or down, check in to see what you were thinking/saying right before you noticed yourself feeling that way.
⏱️ If you're not particularly connected with your body, set a timer to go off every hour.
When the timer goes off, reflect on what you were just thinking/saying, and make note of it.
😳 We often think people or life circumstances are to blame for why we feel the way we do about ourselves, but the truth is, it's usually our own inner critic who is to blame for our lack of self-worth.
Your thoughts and words about yourself and to yourself color your experience of life more than any rude person or shitty circumstance.
You literally create your own inner reality with what goes on in your mind.
👑 Yup, you're that powerful.
❤️🔥 Why not make it a kind, loving and compassionate place to live?
🥰 Why not make yourself feel valued, worthy and appreciated with your words?
😇 Why not create inner balance and harmony?
If not you, then who will do this for you?
The time is now and you deserve it!
Do you accept my challenge?
♎️ Happy Libra New Moon!
From my heart to yours,
Madame Moon 🌙
