exist October 21, 2025we have a New Moon at 28° Libra.
new moon is Square Pluto and Jupiterand Chiron Opposition. This Grand Cross New Moon is bound to push all our buttons and cause us to re-evaluate who we are, especially in the context of our intimate relationships (Libra).
This is a stress-testing new moon that raises a fundamental “identity” question: what is the real me (sun/moon), what is my wound (Chiron), What are other people’s narratives? (Jupiter), and What is being shaped by forces beyond my control(Pluto)?
We are not someone else’s narrativethe beliefs and cultural scripts (Jupiter) we grow up with – yet we are shaped by them. We are products of this era.
If we were born 20 years ago, we might have internalized different ideals of success and beauty. If we were born a hundred years ago, we might have different views on marriage, gender, or morality.
what’s important to us yes Shaped by the world we live in – But that’s not us.
We are not our wounds (Chiron) – Yet they live at the core of our being, pulling us back into their gravity in ways we cannot fully explain. We don’t want to go there because we don’t want to be triggered. We don’t want to face pain.
However, this avoidance means we take some actions and not others; it means we may avoid risks, stay in situations that feel safe, or repeat a pattern just to avoid the sting of the original wound.
our life yes Shaped by our wounds – but this is not who we are.
And Pluto. The cycle of life and death is inevitable. The raw, non-negotiable force of nature. While we all play by Pluto’s rules, we are not Pluto.
New Moon in Libra – Spit 2
Life can have a lot to deal with. We are attracted to relationships not just because they provide a psychological mirror, nor just because of the union that creates life (romance) or resources (business).
Interpersonal relationships are also emotional buffers. Sometimes, to avoid all of these overwhelming feelings, we seek refuge in relationships. In 2, the intensity is divided, shared, and becomes more dispersed.
Our intimacy can be ours Biggest catalyst for growth – but also Our most comfortable trapbecause it’s easy to get busy in a relationship.
It’s easy to get distracted when you’re alone – when the unreverberating silence forces you to go within and face what needs to be faced.
Too often, relationships that are supposed to free us to follow our own paths become a form of bondage. A dynamic carbon copy of our early experiences – Our parents, family, or other role models.
We are drawn to repeat the same dynamics, like an infinite loop, because it’s the only thing we know. What we know—no matter how painful or limited—is safer than what we don’t know.
New Moon in Libra – Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Who’s Afraid of the Virginia Wolf is a play on Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, but replaces the monster with the intelligent, emotionally complex Virginia Woolf.
Characters in the play and movie of the same name Construct complex fantasies and fantasies in their marriage Coping with disappointment and pain.
Core psychological themes are: Are you afraid to face the truth?
“Virginia Woolf” symbolizes emotional honesty and the raw—and sometimes brutal—reality of adult life and relationships. The characters are afraid of giving up their fantasies, afraid of facing who they really are and what their lives have become.
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” became a codename: Who’s Afraid of Life Without Constructed Narrative? Who is afraid of the responsibility that comes with true self-knowledge?
Sometimes, all it takes is a shift in perspective to turn the same relationship that felt like a trap into a sacred playground—a space where we can see each other for who we are, grow the way we are meant to grow, and become the people we are meant to be.
Because the problem is not the relationship – this is our narrative.
It is our unwillingness to face the truth that keeps us imprisoned in it.
When we are swayed by narratives—society’s, our wounded selves, or the world at large—we go through life blindfolded. We move from one relationship to another, but the cycle keeps repeating, the same scenarios replaying themselves over and over again, because of course, it’s never about “them” – it’s always, and always has been, about “us.”
Not in the sense of who is right or wrong—not even in the sense of whether we should be in a relationship—but in terms of Our own consciousness is the only thing we can truly control.
The New Moon in Libra invites us to look at ourselves and our lives as they are—to have the existential courage to break through outdated narratives and face what is real, without the safety net of fantasy.
