Astrological forecast: New Moon 10th October 2026 Update your relationships!
This phase takes place in Libra at approximately 17-18°, emphasizing themes of balance, partnership, and cooperation. The Venusian sign invites us to dig a little bit more in our artistic and creative gifts/talents.
The 1st new moon after the autumn equinox launches a new 6 months relationship cycle, the effects of which you are already beginning to feel. Libra seeks agreement, knows how to compose, connect, and round off angles. The sign has this subtle intelligence that allows to take into account several points of view at the same time. But the shadow can be: compromising for so long and being distanced from desire. This NM brings up this topic to the centre.
* Sun and Moon in Libra are in opposition to retrograde Saturn in Aries. The Libra–Aries axis = relationship with the others versus relationship with oneself.
On one side: us, the couple, the association, the contract, the dialogue, the compromise.
On the other: I, my desire, my autonomy, my affirmation, my ability to decide.
Saturn in Aries comes to set a limit, a requirement of responsibility and maturity. It can force us to look very concretely at what we have accepted, what we are carrying, what we must, what we still want to build and what can no longer work in the same way. With retrograde Saturn, the movement is first internal. Before making an external decision, something needs to be thoroughly reassessed.
Is it really a choice or just a habit?
Is it a compromise or a renunciation?
Do I preserve harmony or avoid conflict?
This New Moon invites us to understand that true balance cannot be built against oneself.
* Venus ruler of Libra stays in Scorpio (sign of Mars & Pluto):
Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio on 3rd October and remains in retrograde motion until it stations direct in Libra on 14th November 2026. This transit marks a period of intense reevaluation regarding desire, intimacy, trust, and personal values, often described as a "deep-sea dive" into the subconscious to uncover hidden emotional truths and relationship patterns.
* Mercury R in Scorpio:
The transit acts as an "X-ray" for relationships and secrets, forcing uncomfortable truths to surface. As Scorpio rules joint assets, expect audits of debts, taxes, insurance, and other money transactions.
Conversations become less casual and more probing, requiring patience and careful editing before communication.
* Focus on the triangle of air:
As there are planets in the 3 air signs (Sun+Moon/Libra, Pluto/Aquarius, Uranus/Gemini) there’s a dynamic on mental structures, thinking and planning, intellectual curiosity, detachment and vision with altitude, social engagement and creative projects.
This configuration governs the mental spectrum, communication, social exchange, and objective analysis.The air signs are pre-eminently signs of the universal Mind.
* Lucky Number 10 !
The October NM is the 10th new moon of the year, occurring on the 10th month of the year on the 10th day of the month!So 10+10 + 10...... The Change (X) in Osho Zen tarot card.
The central symbol is a large wheel representing time, destiny and karma, surrounded by the signs of the zodiac and the trigrams of the I Ching. In the centre, the symbols of yin and yang indicate that life is a perpetual cycle of births, deaths, loves and hatreds. The map teaches that the only constant is change and invites us to detach ourselves from attachment to external events in order to find calm at the heart of the whirlwind. Contrary to a future prediction, it emphasizes mindfulness and understanding of the present moment, suggesting that external events are only a reflection of our inner thoughts and feelings.

Most good relationships are built on mutual trust and respect. Mona Sutphen
