LIBRA NEW MOON: don't fall for the trap
What this covers
In this video, astrologer Erin analyzes the October 10, 2026 New Moon at 17° Libra, cautioning viewers that the timing is inauspious for initiating new partnerships due to Venus being retrograde in Scorpio and squaring Mars in Leo. She argues that this planetary configuration creates friction and a tendency toward renegotiation under duress, advising audiences to audit their self-worth and avoid new contracts until Venus goes direct. The video then provides a detailed breakdown of the New Moon's house placements for all twelve rising signs, highlighting themes of re-evaluating past situations across career, relationships, health, and finances, before concluding with personal updates about the creator’s move to New York and a call to action for engagement.

aries · leo · libra · scorpio · taurus
The creator, Erin, introduces the October 10, 2026 New Moon at 17° Libra, warning that it is an inauspicious time for new partnerships due to the afflicted ruling planet. She explains that Venus is retrograde in Scorpio (its sign of exile) and squares Mars in Leo, creating friction and a tendency toward renegotiation under duress rather than smooth beginnings. The video outlines practical advice for navigating this energy, such as auditing self-worth and avoiding new contracts until Venus goes direct.
- The New Moon occurs on October 10, 2026, at 11:49 a.m. ET at 17° Libra.
- Venus, the ruler of the New Moon, is retrograde in Scorpio, which is its sign of exile (opposite Taurus), leading to discomfort and difficulty navigating situations easily.
- An exact square aspect exists between Venus at 7° Scorpio and Mars at 7° Leo, bringing aggressive friction that prevails over harmonizing energy.
- Saturn and Neptune in Aries oppose the New Moon, adding layers of restriction, rejection, and confusion, though the Venus-Mars square is the primary energy.
- The energy favors difficult repair conversations, reevaluating personal worth, and auditing where one has undervalued themselves.
- It is advised to avoid starting new relationships or signing new agreements due to potential hidden terms and underlying motives of power/control.
- The creator recommends waiting until Venus goes direct in mid-to-late November before moving forward with new initiatives.
