Hello Good Humans!
The New Moon occurs at 28° Libra on Tuesday October 21, 2025 at 8:25am in New York, USA. The aspect is an itchy quincunx to stability oriented Saturn and dreamy Neptune. New Moons are about initiation, beginnings and the new cycle of the moon. It is the time to start projects and plan your trajectory towards your goal. Plant now the seeds of future successes. New moons are more emotionally balanced than full moons and last for the two weeks preceding the full moon.
DREAM IT REAL
The quincunx or inconjunct is an aspect where two planets are 150 degrees apart. This is considered a challenging, or awkward aspect because the signs involved typically have nothing in common, different element and modality. It’s a mismatch or disconnection that creates a sense of unease, confusion, or the feeling that two parts of life are operating on different wavelengths.
New Moons represents a time of new beginnings, planting seeds, and setting intentions. It is when the Sun and Moon are aligned, symbolizing a fresh start, especially emotionally and instinctively (Moon) and in terms of identity and purpose (Sun).
Saturn is the planet of discipline, structure, responsibility, limitations, and reality checks. It focuses on the earthly and tangible. It brings a sense of seriousness and often tests our foundations. Meanwhile, Neptune is attuned to that beyond the earthly and tangible: belief, dreams and delusions, hopes and fears, intuition and confusion, prayer, creative visualization and the metaphysical.
The combination of New Moon quincunx Saturn and Neptune suggests a desire for a new start (New Moon) may feel restricted, delayed, or burdened by practical realities and responsibilities of Saturn and confusion or fear of following your dreams. You may feel an “itch” or persistent discomfort that pushes you to reconcile contradictory needs. The key is to harmonize the impulsive drive for a fresh start with the conflicts of a need for mature planning, structure, or facing current limitations and overcoming a fear of disillusionment. This can highlight a tension between your emotional needs and hopes for the future (New Moon) and the difficult, yet necessary, demands of reality, duty, or self-discipline (Saturn) and your vision of living your dream (Neptune). Growth will only come through adaptation. While frustrating, this aspect encourages you to make conscious adjustments and find a way to integrate these opposing energies. The ultimate goal is to find a way for your new visions and dreams to be built on a solid, realistic foundation. You may be asked to choose between your current obligations and investing in your joy or future needs, necessitating a creative solution to balance them. To live your dream you must define it both emotionally and intellectually. Start with meditation, creative visualization and sound healing. Sound healing uses a physical object (Saturn) to create vibration and sound (Neptune) that can trigger insights and harmonize the energies. Follow this up with a checklist of things to do and obstructions to let go of. Sometimes the limitations we set for our self are the biggest obstacles. Release! Remember, both Saturn and Neptune are a players of the current Magic Triangle I mentioned. Release! Perceive Believe Achieve! Perceive Believe Achieve!
