On October 21, 2025, the new moon in Libra ushers in two complex astrological patterns, a Grand Square and a Grand Trine. Libra is signified by the scales of justice and calls our collective attention to the need for fairness, collaboration, and cooperation. This complex and conflicted new moon suggests that the following weeks will continue to be full of complications and continued disruptions, interestingly enough with other parts of life going well.
The Grand Square is an astrological pattern made of two oppositions and four squares, indicating heightened and opposing forces in conflict with one another. In this pattern the Sun and Moon oppose Chiron, square Pluto and square Jupiter. Three of the four planets are in Cardinal signs, energies that demand action, and can be prone to overreaching or overreacting because of the influence of Jupiter. Chiron relates to health, and health care, while Pluto can represent power struggles. Jupiter can expand the problems that exist or bring about change through the use of wisdom.
A Grand Trine corresponds to an area of life where energy flows freely and the planets support each other. This Trine connects Mercury conjunct Mars to Saturn and Neptune and finally to Jupiter. Four of the five planets are in water signs, representing our emotional nature, and intersect the Grand Square pattern on Jupiter in Cancer. In astrology, Jupiter is considered exalted in the sign of Cancer, meaning it can express its natural qualities of expansion, abundance, and wisdom with greater ease and harmony. This combination is seen as beneficial, particularly for emotional matters, as Cancer is ruled by the Moon and associated with home, family, and feelings.
In the best-case scenario Jupiter’s wisdom would create a positive outcome for major conflicts, particularly the ones relating to health care. So, while things in the world around us may continue to be disruptive, this new moon is a good time to easily resolve any emotional difficulties and enjoy the people you love.
