Today’s lunation in the final degrees of Libra took place with a tight Mercury-Mars conjunction in the subsequent sign of Scorpio, flanked by (1) Ceres and (8405) Asbolus in a pattern known as a Finger of the World. This arrangement decidedly calls attention to Scorpio, especially since its classical ruler Mars is at home. However, the presence of the luminaries and Venus in Libra means the sign of the scales is not without a voice here.

The journey between gregarious, open Libra and intense, silent Scorpio is in part about recognising the value of introspection in the ongoing search for truth (as reflected by the lunation degree’s Sabian symbol, counted as 29 in that system). Libra tends to find meaning through relationships of all kinds; here, we learn about ourselves – individually and collectively – by interacting with others. In Scorpio, we become much more aware of our internal mechanisms, and the profound wisdom they can confer in quiet and solitary moments. Scorpio season can be a time of thorough reckoning, as we dive into our personal mysteries.

Mercury conjoined with Mars brings analytical skill to aid us in our search, while Mars itself underlines the call to action. Meanwhile, the Finger of the World pattern (itself a symbol of human rather than divine intervention) introduces certain flavours to the quest. Ceres is a symbol of nourishment and fundamental survival needs; Asbolus, among other things, represents the overall human condition; that which characterises us as a species.

Taken together, these four bodies appear to probe into the deepest recesses of our very humanity, and invite us to shine a torch therein. Who are we at the ultimate root, stripped of all the trappings and decorations? What do we absolutely require for essential wellbeing, and with what do we instead, perhaps, tend to satisfy ourselves?

These matters are further emphasised by retrograde Neptune visiting its home sign Pisces on Wednesday. Saturn and Neptune met in early Aries this year, and will both return there for the long term in early 2026. Their months-long dance at the border of the merged collective unconscious and the sharp awareness of individual distinction is in part an opportunity for us all to recognise our unique gifts in the cosmic context, and to reaffirm our sacred bond with life and its bounty.

Whatever the results of your exploration, know that your existence is its own justification, and that the divine spark within your core can never be diminished.

Horoscope for 2025 Libra New Moon

	Aries: Potentially you’re considering some pretty profound matters about your identity and role in the world, especially in the context of relating to loved ones and how doing so colours your emotional environment. Give yourself plenty of time to explore the possibilities; you have an opportunity to reconnect, or align more closely, with ideas and principles at the very centre of your being.
	Taurus: Your astrology has lately been focused on the everyday and routine. It is certainly helpful to get one’s house in order and make the little alterations that can wind up saving a lot of time. However, you might also encounter specific knowledge of how your broader life choices are uplifting those around you. Make a note of any such experience, and let it power your motivation as needed.
	Gemini: For a mutable sign such as yours, change is probably a regular and welcome visitor, fuelling your sense of adventure, and sparking invention (and reinvention). Our fluctuating world provides plenty of variety. That said, transformations can also be driven from within. It seems you’re being prompted to seek out and experiment with new ideas or situations. What might you discover?
	Cancer: While time travel is a dream yet to be realised, the fact we cannot modify the past doesn’t mean our relationship to it is fixed in stone. As we develop, so we learn to consider our earlier lives in a different light. This can be done actively as well as passively. If you notice a particular memory repeatedly causing you bother, devote some energy to deconstructing it. You hold the key to your liberation.
	Leo: It’s worth paying special attention at present to ensuring communication between you and others is both clear and correctly understood. Resist any temptation to use dramatic embellishment, especially on emotive issues. Instead, be sure what you wish to say, state it calmly and accurately, and listen carefully to whatever response you receive. Take in data until you can see the full picture.
	Virgo: In the age of the internet troll and outrage algorithm, decency and respect are concepts often hidden beneath the immediate surface; yet they remain alive and well, and as important as ever. Just now, make a point of exercising both as frequently as you can. Hand out sincere courtesies and kindnesses like sweets. It might not change the world overnight, but it could prove a helpful beginning.
	Libra: When one learns to shed the trappings of social pressure and to live as one’s authentic self, a sort of distilling process tends to occur in one’s surroundings. Certain friends may fade into obscurity, eventually replaced by others better suited to honouring honest self-expression. These changes are an intrinsic feature of personal growth, and can be embraced without hesitation.
	Scorpio: Though your sign is among the most instinctive, like all humans you can occasionally be prone to mistranslating emotional signals, including from within. At times feelings naturally appear confusing to the rational part of our minds. However, some gentle, non-judgmental probing will tend to reveal a hidden logic behind the seeming tangle. Dig a little further and you’ll soon find what you seek.
	Sagittarius: As a social animal, we are all subject in part to the influence of peer pressure. Any point of view may gain credibility if it is commonly held. Much of the time this consensus is reasonable, but there are moments when it is not; and when online it can even be manufactured. Tread carefully among the opinions you encounter, and evaluate them first and foremost against your core principles.
	Capricorn: Justice is a quality you are known to value, especially in the professional sphere. If you encounter a situation that seems lacking in fairness, it might be prudent to pause before rushing to a conclusion; certainly before taking decisive action. All may not be quite as appearances suggest. You’ll want to be sure you are rightly informed, which could require waiting for further discoveries.
	Aquarius: Recent developments are likely to have roused the iconoclast in you, keen to hew down various relics of the past and replace them with new and improved versions, suited to this modern age. This is often a laudable and reasonable sentiment, but take care not to demolish every single edifice. Some might still have a purpose. At least initially, discard only what you obviously won’t miss.
	Pisces: Consider all you have learned and achieved in the last 10-15 years: how you have grown and changed as a person, what was once unclear yet has become evident now, and previously firm beliefs which have undergone adjustments. Cherish and make a note of your discoveries. As the next few months unfold fresh adventures, the wisdom you’ve acquired down the ages will come in useful.
