Libra New Moon Demands Clarity and Balance amid Conficts

 


Dearest friends, starseeds, light workers, seekers of a new consciousness and creators of a new earth...

 "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." — Attributed to Buddha




This New Moon in Libra on October 10, 2026, rising with a 3-degree Scorpio Ascendant set for  Saiem, Oregon, initiates a profound evolutionary reset centered on reclaiming personal sovereignty through the dissolution of codependent relationship dynamics. With the Sun and Moon conjunct at 17 degrees 21 Libra in the 12th house, your soul is being pulled into the deep cosmic unconscious to dissolve those old, people-pleasing karmic patterns.

Sabian Symbol  for the Sun and Moon @ 17 degrees Libra 21 minutes 
The  Sabian  Symbol  for  this  degree is a clue  to  how we will  all become whistleblowers to our soul's deepest emotions; Two Men Placed  Under Arrest Give an Accounting for  their  Acts Before the Tribunal  of Society

This Symbol implies the vital need for people to step up to the line and explain themselves, or to justify some actions or ways of being, particularly in relationships. Many times  our ideas or actions are under criticism, to the point of feeling that someone has offended social acceptability. This  image also  implies the  need to speak out against injustice. 

Update: This  is  what  happened  on the ground in Salem  on Saturday Morning with Mars near the Mid-Heaven in Leo (representing many things but primarily in this event Aggression!) 
Mars was just separating from an exact square to  Venus in Scorpio  in the  first house of  identity (In mundane or political astrology -  this represents its inhabitants and often, its physical condition.  The1st house concerns are interior affairs, urban population, domestic affairs, general conditions, psychology of the masses and grassroots opinions.)
Since this exact square occurred at 2:31 PM PDT so in the morning it was still getting stronger. 





The Astrological Explanation including Galactic Representation including Fixed Stars: 

 Venus ruler of this Libra Moon is retrograde in Scorpio at 7 degrees in opposition to  Cassiopia Schedar in Taurus at 8 degrees 09 minutes. with  Mars in Leo  TSQ both planets    Also a beneficial, protective sextile  to Draco Thuban, the Dragon Mother. Thuban demands a strong sense of responsibility and stewardship. It shields you by sharpening your instincts, helping you recognize who or what is safe to let into your inner circle. Not an aggressive warrior and more like a vigilant sentinel, standing watch to ensure that your sacred boundaries remain uncompromised

Schedar represents the sovereign power of the Queen. In galactic terms, this opposition forces you to ask where you have given up your personal crown, playing small or pretending everything is fine just to please others

This alignment (Sun/Moon) directly opposes the galactic intelligence of Tau Ceti in Aries and sextiles the Great Attractor, acting as a massive evolutionary polarization that yanks you out of passive compliance and aligns your destiny with a higher, irresistible  purpose. Those starseeds who are connected by past lives  in Tau  Ceti are highly  innovative and  fight against mind control techniques.  The Scorpio Ascendant is conjunct the fixed star Syrma, the  Shapley Attractor at 2 degrees 42 Scorpio acting like a massive magnetic vacuum, relentlessly attracting dramatic situations, powerful people, and fated life directions toward you, often operating entirely beneath your conscious awareness. Haumea, a dwarf planet and  the Hawaiian fertility Goddess sits at 3 degrees 21 Scorpio adding a  powerful regenerative qualiity to this New Moon. 
Syrma  which we have  mentioned  relates to great great masters like Moses and Mohamed. n Arabic, the area of this star is called Al Ghafar, which means "to cover, protect, or suppress".Syrma demands absolute psychological honesty and heavy shadow work right at the threshold of how you present yourself to the world.

We are in a  time of  internal purging catalyzed by an intense, immediate friction in your outer life facilitated by Venus retrograde in Scorpio. Yes many  of the darker themes of Scorpio: betrayal, revenge, death, sexual abberations, etc. will be present:
 
The highest part of this chart, the most public path and drive, is marked by a Leo Midheaven near a courageous Mars at 7 degrees Leo, is locked in an exact, explosive square to Venus at 7 degrees Scorpio in the 1st house. In October we have seen a  fierce, immediate battle between a prideful, visible ego and your raw, instinctual desires, forcing us to transform relational manipulation into radical self-worth. Deep within your private foundation, the Part of Fortune trines the royal fixed star Fomalhaut at 4 degrees  Pisces (the Watcher  of  the  South connected to the Angel Gabriel)  in the 4th house of home and family. Fomalhaut sits next to the  empathetic wizard, the dwarf planet Gonggong at 5 degrees Pisces.  Gonggong is about channeling potent emotions which need strong boundaries. This brings a massive influx of spiritual luck and emotional redemption, provided you are willing to look at ancestral wounds and surrender to the truth of your emotional roots. Finally, Pallas Athena in Aries in the 6th house opposes the hyper-focused, systems dwarf planet  Makemake in the sign of law. Libra in the 12th house, creating a strategic clash between taking independent action in your daily habits and balancing environmental or collective justice behind the scenes. Ultimately, this cosmic gateway is about integrating your primal power so you can relate to others from a place of absolute, soul-level wholeness rather than fear.

The Mars - Venus Square 

Mars is at 7 Leo 21 with this Sabian Symbol: An activist is stirring up discontent  by spreading their revolutionary ideals. 
This symbol shines the  light  on a  person/persons who are driven to make people believe in their ideas and can appear to be a radical, revolutionary or downright disruptive. You may feel as though you have had enough, that your needs are not being met and that you have little or no power. You may need to enlist the support of others in order to succeed. It is through the promise of equality that power is likely to be won. 

Venus is at 7 Scorpio 21 with this  Sabian Symbol: The Silvery Moon Shining across Beautiful Gem of a Lake 
This Symbol speaks of seeing things reflected in the world around. It can also show someone who loses the plot through not being able to differentiate reality from fiction, intuition from dreaming or what’s theirs from someone else’s emotions, thoughts or reality. Certainly, this speaks of depth in intellect, intuition and emotions. Whether there are hidden depths of not, there may be a strong sense of things being ‘reflected’, as the “Moon” reflects on the “Lake” much like a mirror. 

This exact square which occurs at 2:31 PM PDT on the afternoon of  this New Moon day triggers a massive evolutionary friction point between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine, demanding a profound upgrade in how passionate, raw emotions are expressed and held. Venus in Scorpio represents the Divine Feminine in her most primal, investigative, and shadow-integrated form. In Scorpio, she refuses to play nice, smile through pain, or accept superficial peace. Instead, this square acts as a cosmic pressure cooker that unleashes her long-buried rage—the sacred anger born from centuries of suppressed truth, betrayal, intuitive erasure, and relational imbalance. This is not a destructive, chaotic rage, but a holy fire meant to burn away manipulation, codependency, and disrespect. refuses to play nice, smile through pain, or accept superficial peace. Instead, this square acts as a cosmic pressure cooker that unleashes her long-buried rage—the sacred anger born from centuries of suppressed truth, betrayal, intuitive erasure, and relational imbalance. She is demanding absolute depth, transparency, and energetic equity, and she will fiercely challenge anything less.

To navigate this intense cosmic current without burning bridges, everyone—regardless of gender—must maintain absolute composure and stay deeply grounded. The trap of this square rests in Mars in Leo, which represents the prideful, performative, and easily wounded aspect of the masculine ego. If Mars reacts defensively, matching the Feminine's intense emotional truth with theatrical dominance, fragile pride, or an angry counter-attack, the energy explodes into a destructive ego war. Instead, the evolutionary invitation is for the Divine Masculine energy to provide a rock-solid container of calm, unwavering presenceThe Masculine must step into his highest expression: a steady, grounded anchor that does not run away from, shut down, or judge the fiery, passionate depths of the Feminine. By offering a safe, non-reactive space, the Masculine allows these intense emotions to be fully received, witnessed, and synthesized into a higher form of relational power. This precise cosmic tension ultimately forces both principles to evolve, transforming a toxic battle of wills into a sacred alchemy where raw passion is safely held, respected, and used to forge unbreakable, authentic bonds.

Updates drivien by this Mars/Venus TSquare to Pluto:  the reactions continue against the Cornell rape case as protests continue  
Here in Ithica, NY  

And here more reactions where Cornell University is banning parties and other social events at fraternities for the rest of the academic year.

Despite the tension and conflicts, a highly positive sextile adds  to the position of Venus with a sextile to Ixion at 7 degrees  Capricorn in  the 3rd house  of communications, neighborhood activies and just plain thinking power. Per Alan Clay,  Ixion represents our inner "seeker consciousness". Ixion asks constantly whose rules are we playing by.  This energy gives us a  fierce independent streak, calling everyone to be authentic and unapologetically follow your bliss. When channeled consciously, Ixion acts as a spiritual guide, pushing us to express our  true self while navigating the boundaries of your relationships  This means your intense personal passions (Venus in the first house) find a smooth, supportive outlet through the way you think and speak (Ixion in the third house). Instead of hiding your untamed, authentic desires, the third-house Ixion placement encourages you to communicate your path of bliss clearly and independently to those around you.

Digging deeper and continuing to  use a  backdrop of asteroids and dwarf  planets: the Egyptian god asteroid Osiris at 18 Virgo 24 represents a cycle of being broken apart, put back together, and reborn stronger than before. It is sitting exactly next to Orcus at 18 Virgo 34 , a dwarf planet known for making unbreakable oaths, soul contracts,  speaking absolute truths, and enforcing deep personal integrity. Having them team up at 18 degrees of Virgo means a process of deep, practical healing and truth-telling is happening right now. Because they are in the eleventh house, this intense energy is focused squarely on your social circles, friendships, community networks, and long-term hopes for the future.
The slight, subtle connection—the semi-sextile—to the Sun and Moon at 17 degrees of Libra acts like a quiet whisper or a gentle nudge to the main event. While the Libra New Moon wants you to start fresh, find balance, and create beautiful connections, Osiris and Orcus are reminding you that you cannot have true harmony without authenticity. It plays out as a sudden, clear realization about the groups you hang out with or the communities you support. You might feel a strong urge to step away from superficial friendships or networks that drain you, choosing instead to align only with people who share your deepest, most honest values. It is a time when old, fractured team dynamics are put back together in a much healthier way, ensuring that your future goals are built on a rock-solid foundation of trust rather than just trying to fit in.
When the  Moon entered Scorpio on Sunday at 8:21 AM, many of the above conflicts came to head. Into Monday October 12th with Moon/Venus conjunct in Scorpio and Square Mars and eventually a difficult the Moon meets Mercury  intensified in Scorpio then a 90 degree angle to Jupiter in Leo expands the need for deeper heart connections.  Finally when the Moon enters mutable and fiery Sagittarius at 5:59 PM PDT and  a higher frequency begins and can truly evaluate this Libra Moon.
