The New Moon in Libra occurred on Saturday at 12:50 p.m. (Brasília time), activating the sign of encounters, partnerships, and agreements, creating an intense atmosphere for those seeking to rebalance relationships without losing themselves.

What the New Moon in Libra represents

In astrology, the new moon phase symbolizes the beginning of a new lunar cycle, when the Sun and Moon align in the same sign, pointing to renewal, planning, and setting intentions. In Libra, the focus falls on seeking balance in relationships, the need for fair agreements, and valuing partnerships.

The influence of Venus retrograde

Venus, the ruler of Libra and the planet of love, has been retrograde since October 3. On the day of the new moon, at 6:31 p.m., Venus forms a square with Mars, which can trigger clashes between desire and pride, making intentions better suited for establishing new agreements rather than pursuing immediate romance.

How each sign can use this cycle

Each sign's intentions are guided by the natal chart house that the new moon activates, meaning that two people of the same sign can experience the cycle in distinct ways. For example, an Aries might seek courage to propose new arrangements, while a Taurus might ask for a fairer division of daily tasks.

Maturation period for intentions

The New Moon in Libra cycle extends through November 9, and Venus only turns direct on November 13. Therefore, intentions set on Saturday tend to mature gradually, requiring patience and reflection.

Affirmations to boost the energy

During the new moon, positive affirmations can help align intention, thought, and attitude. Examples include: “I open myself to receiving prosperity in all its forms,” “New opportunities find space in my life,” and “I release thoughts that limit my growth.” Repeating them out loud, in writing, or mentally can strengthen confidence and direct attention toward different forms of abundance.
