New Moon In Libra, 2022: Clear The Air & Turn Over A New Leaf
The new moon in Libra on September 25 (or 26) 2022 will bring an ideal cosmic backdrop for problem-solving, making amends, or getting your feelings off your chest. The Sun and Moon’s embrace at 2 degrees Libra will spark new harmonious beginnings and opportunities to instill ease in your social life and surroundings. Libra is the 7th sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus — the planet of love and beauty. As a cardinal air sign, Libra has an action-starting and intellectual quality that will urge you to initiate honest and peaceful discussions if you need to clear the air with anyone. Set the intention to do what needs to be done and to say what needs to be said in order to start fresh. Keep your mind focused, be honest, and strive for love and peace.
Avoid drama
Venus — the ruling planet of the new moon — will merge with Mercury retrograde in analytical Virgo, bringing mentally balanced energy. Your sharp mind and clear intentions will allow you to take a logical yet understanding approach to problem-solving. Pluto retrograde in Capricorn will offer gentle support to Venus and Mercury retrograde, helping you to speak your truth and avoid drama by resisting the urge to defend yourself. Be precise and intentional when explaining your side of a story, stick to the relevant facts, and avoid going deeper into your feelings than you need to. Misunderstandings happen — especially during hazy retrograde seasons — so compromise, keep the peace, and try not to take things too personally.
Embrace your passion, but control your assertion
Jupiter retrograde will reside in Aries, 1 degree away from an exact opposition with the new moon. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, exaggeration, and abundance, and in dramatic Aries, its energy encourages you to be free, independent, and fearless in the pursuit of what you want. Your desire for new fields of creative expression, yearning for love, and interest in livening up your social life will increase under the new moon.
However, Jupiter is currently retrograde, so its influence will be more internal than external, calling for you to manage your directness and assertiveness. Try not to come on too strong when meeting new people. Work on your confidence to ensure you aren’t projecting onto others, and observe when your passion has caused you to become too controlling or critical.

Help others instill peace in their lives
Alongside the new moon (but not directly influencing it), Mars in Gemini will harmonize with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, bringing controlled and responsible energy that will motivate you to help other people resolve the issues they're facing. You may have to uplift a friend, sibling, or person in your community and help them target their problems without making matters harder than they have to be. Your ability to think on your toes and your unique way of simplifying problems will inspire people — who typically shy away from confrontation — to actively instill peace in their lives.
