September 21 New Moon: Your Cosmic Clean-Out Is Here!

What Is a New Moon in Astrology?

From an astronomical perspective, the New Moon corresponds to the lunar phase during which the moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun. It's very difficult to observe because it's too close to the Sun. Its visible face not being illuminated by the Sun during the day, it becomes invisible at nightfall.

On September 21st, our two luminaries come together in the meticulous sign of Virgo. Virgo's energy intensifies, pushing us to finalize, clarify, and organize before moving into Libra. It's urgent, it's now or never!

When Libra Takes Off Its Boxing Gloves

This New Moon forms at 28°22 of Libra, that sign so charming, so conciliatory, so... indecisive sometimes (sorry my dear Libra natives, but you know it well!). Normally, a lunation in Libra invites us to sweetness, compromises, cuddles, and civilized debates over bergamot tea. But here? Not quite. ☕️💥

This New Moon didn't come to play background. It forms a tense square with Jupiter in Cancer AND Pluto in Aquarius. Let's just say the vibe feels like a family dinner where someone finally dares to bring up THE touchy subject that's been avoided for years. 

This configuration offers you a precious gift: the possibility to:

• ✨ Say NO without guilt
• ✨ Set your boundaries with clarity
• ✨ Resolve conflicts that have been dragging on
• ✨ Negotiate fairer agreements
• ✨ Make decisions in ambiguous situations

But watch out! Jupiter in Cancer can push you toward excessive emotionality, while Pluto in Aquarius might make you tip into "total revolution" mode. The secret? Libra, precisely: neither too soft, nor too hard. Firm but courteous. Clear but respectful.

🌑 A Rare Opportunity This New Moon in Libra on October 21st, 2025 isn't a restful lunation, but it offers you a rare opportunity to rebalance your relationships on healthier and more authentic foundations. The tensions you'll feel aren't there to punish you, but to signal where balance is broken and where adjustments are necessary. The justice you seek in your relationships starts with the justice you grant yourself: the right to say no, the right to set your boundaries, the right to demand respect. So yes, the conversations might be uncomfortable. Yes, you'll need to step out of your diplomatic comfort zone. But true balance is never found in avoidance – it's built through clarity, kind firmness, and the courage of authentic dialogue. Use this powerful energy to build more balanced, more real, more lasting relationships.

❤️ What About Love? Important Conversations

This New Moon in Libra announces important clarification conversations in your love relationships. It's time to rebalance your relationship by frankly addressing what's not working: sharing responsibilities, unmet needs, disrespected boundaries.

With Mercury-Mars in Scorpio, your words will have a deep and lasting impact - choose them well because they'll mark a before/after in your relationship. Strong couples will use this energy to renegotiate the terms of their union and start fresh on more authentic foundations.

Fragile couples will need to make important decisions: continue by truly changing the rules of the game, or separate with dignity. For singles, it's a wake-up call about the type of relationship you really want - no more compromises that betray you! 🎯

My Tips to Live This New Moon Well

This period requires a structured approach (Virgo loves that!). Here's how to maximize these energies:

• 1. Prepare THE conversation you've been avoiding 📝.  Between October 19th and 23rd, finally tackle that delicate subject you've been postponing. First write down what's no longer working and what you really want. With Mercury-Mars in Scorpio, your words will leave a mark - choose them well. Firm but courteous, that's winning! 
• 2. Set a firm boundary (finally!) - Identify where you feel invaded or unbalanced. Then act: refuse that unreasonable request, announce your new conditions. This New Moon gives you the courage to say NO. 
• 3. Find a creative compromise -  Faced with a blocked situation, get out of the "either/or" mindset. Brainstorm with someone outside the situation to find a third innovative path. Harmonious aspects favor win-win solutions that nobody had imagined. Dare to think differently! 
• 4. Identify which house in your birth chart this New Moon falls into to target your actions on that life area. 

📝 Don't forget: it's time to plant good actions, start a project, take action. That way, you'll harvest the most during the following Full Moon.
