Harmony, balance and renewal beneath Libra’s light
The sky is still and dark. This is the space where seeds of intention are planted. The New Moon in Libra opens a quiet doorway, a time to begin again with balance and grace. After the fiery clarity of the Aries Full Moon, this energy feels soft and reflective, helping us breathe and find peace before the next cycle begins.
Libra reminds us that balance is not about perfection but about awareness. When we centre ourselves, everything around us begins to steady too. This New Moon brings an invitation to slow down, clear emotional clutter and plant new intentions that honour both our heart and our truth.
The Energy of this New Moon
This phase restores harmony after weeks of movement. Libra teaches us to create balance through gentle awareness rather than control. It helps us see where to soften, where to listen and where to bring more beauty and fairness into our daily rhythm.
Arriving close to the 1010 Portal, this New Moon is filled with the energy of higher alignment. It encourages us to begin again with clarity, courage and love.
Themes: Harmony, connection, self worth, reflection, peace, renewal
Working with Moonology™ Teachings
As a Certified Moonologer™, I work with the rhythm of the Moon to help people align their energy with natural timing. The New Moon is the most powerful time of the month to make wishes, and the energy remains open for around twenty four hours after the exact New Moon. This is when your thoughts, words and emotions are most magnetic.
- Wait a little while after the New Moon before writing, allowing the Moon to move out of the void so your wishes take root.
- Write up to ten wishes. Keep them heartfelt, positive and simple. Libra supports themes of love, beauty, partnership and peace.
- Phrase your wishes as though they are already real. For example, “I attract calm and balanced relationships” or “I live each day with confidence and grace.”
- Read them aloud once, feeling gratitude as if they have already come true.
- Return to them at the First Quarter Moon on 29 October to see which are beginning to grow.
New Moon wishes are about co creation, not control. You set the direction, and the Universe responds through the rhythm of the Moon.
Crystals for the Libra New Moon
The main stones for this phase are the same as those in the October Moon Phases guide. Together they bring clarity, intuition and transformation.
- Clear Quartz – Brings focus and amplifies your intentions
- Labradorite – Encourages transformation and insight
- Moonstone – Strengthens intuition and emotional connection
You can also include Rose Quartz for the heart, Green Aventurine for balance or Kunzite for compassion and calm.
If you do not have these stones, try Rhodonite for emotional healing, Amazonite for peaceful communication or Snow Quartz for a clear and gentle vibration. The energy you bring to your ritual always matters more than the stones themselves.

My Libra New Moon Ritual
Light a candle and take a few slow breaths. Let this be a simple moment of stillness.
- Cleanse your space with smoke, sound or intention.
- Hold your chosen crystals. Clear Quartz, Moonstone or Labradorite work beautifully for this phase.
- Write up to ten wishes for balance, love, creativity or peace.
- Read them aloud once, feeling each one as already true.
- Place your list beneath your crystal and leave it overnight.
- End with gratitude and trust that your intentions are already in motion.
When the First Quarter Moon arrives, return to your list and notice what has already begun to shift.
Reflection and Journal Prompts
- Where in my life am I ready to welcome more balance
- How can I bring more beauty and grace into my days
- Which relationship, including the one with myself, needs healing
- What am I ready to create that feels aligned with peace
The Feminine Flow
The Libra New Moon carries the voice of the feminine in her quiet power. She reminds us that rest and creation are both sacred. Balance is not about keeping everything equal but about returning to centre again and again.
Clear Quartz clears the path ahead, Moonstone deepens intuition and Labradorite opens the doorway to transformation. Together they teach that peace begins from within and radiates outward.
Mystic Grove Insight
This New Moon invites a softer pace. It asks for presence rather than perfection. As you plant your wishes, remember that the stillness of the dark sky is where growth begins.
Hold your stones, breathe gently and let your intentions root in calm awareness. Trust that the light will return in its own time.
