Love Shadows Libra New Moon
Outer You Sun and Inner You Moon line up together October 21, 2025 at 5:25 am to form the Love Shadows Libra New Moon. That’s when the New Moon energies peak, but the days before and after have been filled with this soul wrenching love angst.
We may try to think our way through those Love Shadows during this Libra New Moon. But in the end, the heart must be felt and expressed.
Add to that: Just before the Love Shadows New Moon (4:11 am Pacific Time) we enter the Pre-Shadow for Mercury Retrograde. That means our stories and work for the next six weeks or so are now being revealed.
Mercury Retrograde? Already???
Yes, more on that below!
Identify Your Love Shadows
A New Moon in Let’s Talk Libra puts your focus on relationships, balance, fairness and social connection. These either/or scenarios can apply to relationships, jobs, or your family:
- I love being in flowing conversations OR I feel needy if I perceive I’m being left out.
- I thrive on creative challenges OR I am afraid of criticism or not being good enough.
- My closest relationships do require work, but it’s so worth it OR I don’t feel I can be me with (fill in the blank).
I’ll bet you can carry on from here with this concept.
“Oh, The Pain, The Pain”
So, why the Love Shadows?
Wounded Healer Chiron stands across the sky to oppose this New Moon. We are raw and vulnerable, or angry and righteous. When you hear your inner child screaming “It’s not fair!”, you know you have touched a trigger to some of your Love Shadows. It’s important to treat these moments as Eureka discoveries. Take the lamp of awareness into that darkness and light up what you truly need to see.
A Grand Trine in Water both activates emotions and offers solutions for leveling the waters. It’s tricky, but necessary. Yes, you need to feel to heal, but you want to move through rather than circle around in a vortex of sorrow or rage.
💞 Your Love Shadows New Moon Ceremony
Set aside some time to be in sacred space with yourself. Consider a soothing playlist, gentle lighting, candles, and other comfort items that encourage softness for yourself.
- Be brave. Stir up some of your personal love shadows. Perhaps you’ll journal a bit.
- Draw an equilateral triangle in your journal. This represents the Grand Trine in Water, and gives you deeper access to the emotional balancing magic.
- Focus on the triangle. From one of the bottom corners, imagine you are experiencing the feelings around any Love Shadow you may have. Yes, you can focus on memories if that helps, anything to build the feelings.
- Follow the line up to the peak of the triangle, building your emotional energy as you go. Get mad, cry, shiver, whatever feeling presents.
- Then, at the top, let it OUT. I like to sweep my hands out from my heart and say something loud, like “GAH!” or “STOP IT.” Activating the throat chakra further engages the magic.
- Now, ride the downward line to the next corner of the triangle. Say words of gratitude and kindness, like “you/they did the best they could, I forgive myself/them, it’s time to let that energy go.”
- Move back along the base of the triangle to your first point. Be both timeless and ready. You are creating space for change!
Do this as many times as you like as you reveal and clear your Love Shadows.
Your final trip around you’ll want to consider what could be different, where you want your energy to shift toward. What are your Love Lights? Fill up with all the best things you could imagine!
Whatever you do for this Libra New Moon, I hope you discover the glow that comes from working with your Love Shadows!
Make this a New Moon to Roar about!

🌠 About Mercury Retrograde: We enter the Shadow period, where Mercury begins to travel over the same area of the sky where it will appear to later go backwards (Retrograde), an hour before the New Moon on October 21 at 4:11 AM Pacific time.
Between then and November 9, pay attention to what comes up for you, as you’ll be visiting the same issues through to 11/29/25. That’s when Mercury stations direct. Then, there’s a final examination and perhaps reckoning through December 16, when Mercury exits the “retroshade” zone.
I’m offering a Support Experience where you don’t have to do anything – I do the work for you! Plus you can add on a Personal Insight Report:
