Libra

Born Between: October 31 – November 22

The New Moon takes place in your sign, Libra, and is unaspected, which means there is no outside planetary interference.

This is a time of profound spiritual renewal and personal rebirth. The New Moon brings a fresh wave of energy directly into your house of self and identity, giving you the opportunity to clear the air and reconnect with who you really are. It's almost as though you are being handed a blank canvas, allowing you to redefine yourself without being weighed down by other people's expectations, past mistakes or outdated versions of yourself.

Your inner compass is drawing you towards a more introspective period, where much of your growth is taking place behind the scenes. You may feel the need to withdraw a little, reassess your direction and reconsider what you truly want from life. There could be an inner conflict between remaining in familiar territory, even if it no longer serves you, or finding the courage to pursue something much bigger. This is a spiritual crossroads, Libra, and the choices you make now could have a lasting influence on your future.

Scorpio

Born Between: November 23 – November 29

The New Moon takes place in your 13th house of higher consciousness and isolation, Scorpio. This is quite up your street, but rather than digging through the emotional trenches of old arguments or revisiting past conflicts, you are being encouraged to look at your life from a much higher perspective.

With Mercury Retrograde bringing vulnerable areas to the surface, getting caught up in every little detail could leave you feeling stuck. Sometimes we need to step back before we can see the bigger picture. This is a good time to examine the power dynamics within your commitments and relationships, particularly where control, expectations or unspoken agreements may be involved.

Don't allow the past to dictate your next move. A little distance and a change in perspective could reveal much more than you realise.

Ophiuchus

Born Between: November 30 – December 17

The New Moon takes place in your 12th house of the executive and man-made rules, Ophiuchus. The cosmic energies are calling for a little alchemy on your part, as two intense T-squares intersect at Chiron, bringing some of your deepest vulnerabilities to the surface. You could find yourself dealing with a double layer of emotional and psychological clearing, particularly concerning your self-worth, communication and the commitments you have made along the way.

However, you aren't meant to become overwhelmed by the symptoms. As the cosmic doctor, your task is to look beyond the immediate problem and find the cure. Interestingly, the New Moon itself is completely unaspected, standing apart from the surrounding planetary tensions.

This is your cue to step out of the operating room for a moment and look at things from a higher level of awareness. You don't have to fix everything at once, nor do you need to carry the weight of everyone else's problems. Take some time in your own sanctuary, find your inner balance and set intentions from a place of clarity and peace.

Sagittarius

Born Between: December 18 – January 18

The New Moon takes place in your 11th house, which is your own house of culture, travel, higher learning and visionary entrepreneurship.

For you, this New Moon offers an opportunity to realign yourself with what truly matters. Being unaspected, it provides a quieter space, free from outside interference, where you can reconsider your direction and question whether your current choices are genuinely in keeping with your personal ethics and beliefs.

The real cosmic activity, however, is taking place behind the scenes with your ruler Jupiter, which is conjunct Mars and the South Node in Leo. This is a particularly powerful and potentially fated combination, bringing old lessons surrounding pride, personal power and the way you express your truth back into focus. With the South Node highlighting past patterns, Mars igniting your passions and Jupiter expanding your horizons, there is plenty to reflect upon.

You are moving beyond old lessons and being encouraged to approach leadership and personal growth from a much wiser perspective. Use this New Moon to plant the seeds for a future built on authenticity, stronger values and a willingness to explore beyond your usual boundaries.

Capricorn

Born Between: January 19 – February 15

The New Moon takes place in your 10th house of alchemy and ascension, Capricorn, bringing a profound lesson in setting healthy boundaries. As this New Moon is unaspected, you have an opportunity to step back from the usual demands of life and reassess what balance really means, particularly when it comes to your career and professional responsibilities. Are you following your own path, or have past conditioning and expectations influenced the direction you have taken?

There is also considerable pressure to evolve, with Pluto and Juno conjoining at the roots of your identity and facing Ceres across your foundational axis. This powerful combination brings together deep transformation and the themes of commitment, loyalty and agreements, potentially highlighting where your relationships and obligations need to change.

You may find yourself confronting old relationship karma or ancestral patterns surrounding control, trust and belonging. What once made you feel safe may no longer fit the person you are becoming. Meanwhile, your thoughts, communication and immediate plans are being refined through a higher level of understanding.

Trust your inner authority, Capricorn. You don't have to keep honouring commitments that no longer reflect your values. This is an opportunity to start afresh and create a stronger foundation for the future.

Aquarius

Born Between: February 16 – March 11

The New Moon takes place in your 9th house of digging deep and psychology, Aquarius. A shift is taking place in your understanding of life, particularly when it comes to your beliefs, personal ethics and spiritual direction. As this New Moon is unaspected, it gives you the freedom to reconsider what you believe in without outside interference or the need to conform to anyone else's expectations.

The real magic, however, is happening much closer to home. Your ruler Uranus is electrifying your 4th house, bringing a need for change and greater flexibility within your domestic environment and family foundations. This could help you break away from inherited psychological patterns, hidden power struggles or relationship dynamics that have been holding you back.

You may find that your understanding of the past is changing, allowing you to see certain situations in a completely different light. Your home and personal environment should become a place where you can feel free to be yourself, rather than somewhere you feel restricted by old expectations.

You are being given an opportunity to build your foundations around truth and authenticity, creating a stronger base from which to move towards your next stage of personal evolution.

Pisces

Born Between: March 12 – April 18

The New Moon takes place in your 8th house of balance and partnerships, Pisces.

The universe is asking quite a lot of you right now, but you also have some powerful planetary support to help you navigate the changes taking place. Your sign is hosting an enormous evolutionary shift, although there are two quite distinct areas of activity.

In one part of your sign, Neptune, Saturn, Pallas and Vesta are tightly aligned, creating a powerful combination that brings intuition, wisdom and a need to reassess your spiritual priorities. This is about finding greater clarity and putting your energy into what genuinely matters, rather than allowing yourself to become distracted by everything happening around you.

Meanwhile, at the very edge of your sign, Chiron's retrograde journey is working more quietly, bringing some deeply buried vulnerabilities to the surface. This could be a rather personal healing process, encouraging you to confront issues that have been sitting beneath the surface for some time.

The emotional friction you may be experiencing is also connected to Venus Retrograde and her aspects, which are highlighting where relationship attachments may have been draining your energy. Fortunately, her connections with Mars, Jupiter and the South Node offer a way through the confusion, helping you rediscover your passion, vitality and sense of direction.

The challenge is to turn this healing process into something constructive. Pay attention to your daily habits and wellbeing, and don't underestimate the importance of looking after yourself. Small changes made consistently could bring some very positive results.

Aries

Born Between: April 19 – May 14

The New Moon takes place in your 7th house of relational dynamics and personal environment, Aries. A rebalancing is taking place, giving you an opportunity to look more closely at your lifestyle, surroundings and the relationships you have built around you. Because this New Moon is unaspected, you have a little breathing space to assess what is working and what needs changing, without so much outside interference.

This is a good time to clear away unnecessary stress, address any environmental issues and reconsider the agreements or expectations that have become part of your everyday life. You may discover that certain arrangements need a little adjustment to bring things back into balance.

There is also a tremendous amount of creative fire building within you. Your ruler Mars is locked in a powerful conjunction with Jupiter and the South Node in your 5th house, where expressive Leo sits on the cusp. This is a potentially fated combination, bringing old habits and patterns surrounding recognition, pride and the need for approval into focus. You may be ready to stop performing for others or compromising your happiness just to fit in.

The harmonious connection with Chiron can also help bring old vulnerabilities to the surface, allowing you to turn past experiences into creative inspiration and personal strength.

Use this energy constructively, Aries. The planetary connections offer some valuable insight into how you can take what you've learned and apply it to your work, daily routine and physical wellbeing. It's time to put yourself back into the equation.

Taurus

Born Between: May 14 – June 20

The New Moon takes place in your 6th house of identity and creativity, Taurus.

An internal revolution is quietly taking place as Uranus, the planet of radical change, continues its retrograde journey through your 1st house, a space ruled by the vast waters of Pisces. This is rather like a bolt of lightning at your own front door, challenging you to shed outgrown versions of yourself and question whether the life you are creating is genuinely yours or simply a reflection of other people's expectations.

You may be looking at yourself, your ambitions and your future in a completely different way. What once seemed important may no longer hold the same appeal, particularly where your professional life and responsibilities are concerned.

This awakening could have a direct influence on your public image, career direction and professional agreements. You may find yourself becoming less willing to accept unequal power dynamics or remain tied to obligations that no longer reflect your worth. It's about reclaiming your independence and recognising where you need to take back control.

Whilst the collective continues to navigate a slower spiritual overhaul, you are being given an opportunity to think strategically about your own future. Trust those flashes of inspiration, Taurus, and allow yourself the freedom to create a life that feels much more authentic.

Gemini

Born Between: June 21 – July 19

The New Moon takes place in your 5th house of emotions and spiritual values, Gemini.

Because this New Moon is unaspected and operating without outside interference, it offers a particularly valuable opportunity to reconnect with your inner child. You have a chance to rediscover what genuinely makes you feel alive, emotionally fulfilled and happy within yourself. This is about allowing yourself to enjoy life again, without feeling that you need anyone else's approval to pursue your passions or find pleasure in the things you love.

However, getting to this more peaceful and creative space may require a little emotional clearing first. Your ruler Mercury is retrograding through your 4th house and becoming caught up in a much heavier planetary conflict. This could bring family matters, old memories or unresolved emotional issues back into focus. The asteroid of nourishment and boundaries, Ceres, is also transiting your sign, adding another layer to the need to reassess how much of yourself you give to others.

You may need to recognise where you have been taking on too much responsibility for other people's feelings, particularly at the expense of your own happiness.

Step away from the endless mental loops, Gemini. You don't have to carry everybody else's emotional baggage. Give yourself permission to enjoy a little breathing space and reconnect with what nourishes you.

Cancer

Born Between: July 20 – August 10

The New Moon takes place in your 4th house of family, siblings, communication and ancestry.

A quiet but important reset is taking place at the very roots of your life, particularly on a psychological level. This is an opportunity to clear away some of the mental clutter associated with your past and reconsider the emotional patterns that have shaped you.

With no active planets transiting your sign at present, you aren't necessarily being pushed into taking external action. Instead, the energies are drawing you inward. As the Moon is your planetary ruler, this unaspected New Moon offers a particularly personal opportunity to reconnect with your emotional needs and find some peace within yourself.

You are being given a chance to redefine what safety, belonging and emotional security really mean to you. It may be time to look at old family scripts, inherited behaviours and communication patterns that were established during childhood. Some of these may have followed you into adulthood without you even realising how much influence they still have.

If you have been carrying the unspoken emotional burdens of siblings or even generations before you, this is an opportunity to recognise that you don't have to keep carrying them.

Step back, Cancer, and give yourself the space to create a healthier mental and emotional environment. Plant the seeds for a future that genuinely nourishes your soul.

Leo

Born Between: August 10 – September 15

The New Moon takes place in your 3rd house of routine and comfort, Leo, which is actually a helpful placement when it comes to your nervous system. You are being given an opportunity to clear away some of the everyday noise and reconsider what makes you feel comfortable and secure. It may be time to step off the hamster wheel, simplify your routine and make changes to your immediate environment so that you can find a little more peace of mind.

Although the New Moon itself offers a quieter space, there is a tremendous amount of activity surrounding your identity and personal presence. Mars, Jupiter and the karmic South Node are forming a powerful alignment, creating a burning desire to break away from outdated habits, ego-driven behaviour and the need to seek approval from others.

Their trine to Chiron can help expose some deeply rooted vulnerabilities, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. There is an opportunity to turn old psychological wounds into valuable wisdom, giving you a much broader perspective on yourself and your circumstances.

At the same time, this fiery planetary combination forms a supportive sextile to Venus Retrograde. This can help you reconsider your finances, personal values and what you are prepared to invest your energy in.

You are becoming much more aware of where you have been compromising yourself just to keep others happy. It's time to recognise your own worth, Leo, and stop playing small when you know there is so much more you can offer.

Virgo

Born Between: September 15 – October 30

The New Moon takes place in your 2nd house of self-esteem, willpower and personal values, Virgo.

This New Moon cycle is encouraging you to take a good look at yourself and reconsider what you truly value. You may feel the need to shed certain roles or expectations that no longer represent who you are, particularly when it comes to finding your own voice and standing firm in your beliefs. With both your ruler Mercury and Venus Retrograde in your 1st house, the focus is very much on you. This is not the time to look outside yourself for all the answers. You need to listen to your own instincts and recognise what feels right for you.

The Venus, Chiron and Ceres T-square brings a significant turning point concerning your personal relationships, boundaries and larger life ambitions. You could find yourself caught between the desire to heal or maintain a particular relationship and the need to pursue your own dreams, whether that involves entrepreneurship, travel or simply living in greater alignment with your personal morals.

If you have been putting your own growth on hold to keep other people comfortable, this planetary configuration could make that increasingly difficult. There comes a point when we have to recognise that looking after ourselves is just as important as looking after everyone else.

This is a powerful period of personal reassessment, Virgo. Don't be afraid of the friction, as sometimes it takes a little discomfort to make the changes we have been avoiding. Use this retrograde energy to reconsider your boundaries, bring your daily habits into line with your beliefs and reclaim your independence. Your own vision deserves just as much attention as everybody else's.
