But 21 October 2025we have one New Moon at 28° Libra,
it is new moon square pluto And JupiterAnd opposite chironThis Grand Cross New Moon is bound to push all of our buttons, prompting us to reevaluate who we are, especially in the context of our close relationships (Libra).
This is a pressure-tested New Moon that raises a fundamental “identity” question: what i really am (Sun – Moon), What are my wounds? (Chiron), What are other people’s stories? (Jupiter), and What is being shaped by forces beyond my control(Pluto)?
We are not other people’s storiesThe beliefs and cultural scripts we grow up with (Jupiter) – Yet, we are shaped by them. We are products of our time.
Had we been born 20 years ago, we might have internalized different ideals of success and beauty. If we had been born 100 years ago, our views on marriage, gender or morality might have been different.
what is important to us Is We are shaped by the world we live in – Yet this is not who we are.
we are not our wounds (Chiron) – Yet they remain at the core of our existence, drawing us back to their gravity in ways we cannot articulate. We don’t want to go there because we don’t want to be harassed. We don’t want to face the pain.
Yet this avoidance means that we take some actions and not others; This means we may avoid risks, stay in situations that feel safe, or repeat patterns to avoid the sting of the initial wound.
our life Is Our wounds shape us – yet we are not like this.
and pluto isThe inevitable cycle of life and death. The raw, undeniable force of nature. And while we all play by Pluto’s rules, we are not Pluto.
New Moon in Libra – Spit up to 2
It may take a lot to handle life. We are attracted to relationships, not only because of the psychological mirror they provide, not only because of the union that creates life (romantic) or resources (business).
Relationships are also an emotional bufferSometimes, to escape all these overwhelming emotions, we seek refuge in our relationships. In 2, the intensity is divided, shared, and spread out a little more.
Our close relationships can be ours The biggest catalyst for development – But Our most comfortable meshBecause it’s easy to get busy in a relationship.
It’s easier to stay distracted when you’re not alone – when there’s no echoing silence to force you to go within and face what needs to be faced.
Sometimes, the relationships that are meant to free us to follow our own path turn out to be Carbon-copy of the mobility we experienced at the beginning of life – Our parents, family, or other role models.
We are set to repeat the same dynamics, as if in an endless loop, because it is the only thing we know. And what we know – no matter how painful or limiting – is safer than what we don’t know.
New Moon in Libra – Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” is a play on “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf” but with the intellectual, emotionally complex Virginia Woolf in place of the monster.
Characters in the play – and in the film of the same name – Create elaborate fantasies and illusions at their wedding face disappointment and pain,
The main psychological topics are: Are you afraid to face the truth?
“Virginia Woolf” embodies emotional honesty and the raw – and sometimes brutal – realities of adult life and relationships. The characters are afraid to give up their illusions and face who they really are and what their lives have become.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf has become a code for: Who’s afraid of living without constructed narratives? Who’s afraid of the responsibility that comes with real self-knowledge?
Sometimes just a shift in perspective can transform the same relationship that feels like a trap into a sacred playground — a place where we can see each other for who we are, grow as we were meant to grow, and become who we were meant to be.
Because it’s not the relationship that’s the problem , these are our narratives,
It is our unwillingness to face the truth that keeps us imprisoned in them.
When we are driven by narratives – about society, about our own wounded self, or about the world as a whole – we live life with blinders on. We move from one relationship to another, but the cycle keeps repeating, the same scenarios are repeated over and over again, because of course, it is never about “them” – it is, and always has been, about “us”.
Not in the sense of who is right or wrong – and not even in the sense of whether we should stay in the relationship or not – but in the sense that Our own awareness is the only thing we really have control over,
The New Moon in Libra invites us to see ourselves and life as it is – to cut through old stories and have the existential courage to meet what is real, without the safety net of illusion.
