The New Moon on October 21st arrives at the final degrees of Libra, closing the eclipse portal and opening a new cycle. At its heart, this lunation is about conscious relating — finding balance between self and other, and choosing connection rooted in truth instead of illusion. With an exact opposition to Chiron in Aries, squares to Jupiter and Pluto, and the pressure of a rare Yod, the cosmos is asking us to examine the patterns that keep us off balance. Two days later the Sun enters Scorpio, adding depth to Libra’s call for harmony. This New Moon invites us to reset, rebalance, and begin again with clarity.

The final eclipse of the year coincides with Mabon, the Fall Equinox, bringing a potent moment of balance, reflection, and release. This Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo, on the South Node, invites us to declutter our lives, let go of unproductive habits, and reset our routines. As the Moon moves into Libra shortly after, we are called to bring harmony, fairness, and intention into our relationships and communities. Combining Equinox, Mabon, New Moon, and eclipse energies, this threshold moment encourages both personal and collective recalibration. It’s a time to honor what we’ve harvested, release what no longer serves, and step consciously into the next chapter of the year.

On August 23rd, the Virgo New Moon arrives as both Sun and Moon cross into Virgo, marking not just a seasonal threshold, but a spiritual one. This lunation is especially potent—falling at a critical degree, and as the first of two Virgo New Moons in succession, it amplifies themes of recalibration, service, and healing. Virgo’s energy asks us to clear what no longer supports us, refine the habits that sustain us, and return to rhythm rather than perfection.
