Libra season closes out with a New Moon at 28° Libra. This one marks a pattern that will stretch through summer 2026, with New Moons landing in the final degrees of each sign. Late-degree lunations don’t rush forward. They gather. They refine. They ask for closure and maturity before beginning anew. By the time we arrive at the next chapter, we know exactly what we’re carrying with us and what we’ve chosen to leave behind.

Libra is the sign of the scales. Balance, fairness, reciprocity, and relationship. This New Moon stirs up questions about how we participate in those exchanges. Where do we give too much? Where have we expected too little? And are we still trying to keep the peace with people who wouldn’t do the same for us?

This is the first of nine consecutive New Moons that land at the end of their signs:

• Libra 28°, October 21st
• Scorpio 28°, November 20th
• Sagittarius 28°, December 20th
• Capricorn 28°, January 19th
• Aquarius 29°, February 17th
• Pisces 29°, March 19th
• Aries 28°, April 17th
• Taurus 27°, May 17th
• Gemini 25 , June 15th

Even though these are New Moons and that are beginning phases these aren’t launchpads. They’re culminations. The beginnings of 6 months of a culmination phase. Each one arrives with a full season’s worth of awareness behind it. Intention-setting here is less about chasing something new and more about claiming what’s already true. We aren’t growing just to grow. We’re becoming more exact. Growing into ourselves.

That shows up clearly in this lunation. The Libra New Moon squares Pluto (Capricorn 29°39′), who’s slowing to station direct. Pluto’s pressure is surgical. Whatever feels unfair or unsustainable is already under internal review. Now the consequences start to surface. This is a point of reckoning. Not punishment, but recognition. If something’s been out of balance, we know it. And now we decide what we’re going to do about it.

Venus, ruler of this New Moon, is in Virgo, opposite Saturn in Pisces. That brings discernment and accountability to the table. This aspect cares less about how things look and more about how they function. Are we acting with integrity? Are we being honest? Are we taking the easy way out or the right way through?

There’s support, too. Venus trines Jupiter in Gemini. The Moon applies to Neptune. These bring grace, optimism, and intuitive knowing. Even when the truth is uncomfortable, we’re met with the sense that something more aligned is possible.

The path forward is relational, not reactive. This lunation offers clarity and repair. But only if we’re willing to stop pretending everything’s fine. Libra wants peace. Pluto wants truth. Together, they reveal what’s been unequal for far too long.

Bottom line: Fix the imbalance. Even if it’s small. Especially if it’s yours. Balance through choice.
