Today is New Moon in Libra. Here is a gift for your meditation, from Astro Butterfly:
"On October 21st, 2025, we have a New Moon at 28° Libra.
The New Moon is square Pluto and Jupiter, and opposite Chiron. This Grand Cross New Moon is bound to push all our buttons, prompting us to re-evaluate who we are, especially in the context of our close relationships (Libra).
This is a pressure test New Moon that raises a fundamental “identity” question: what’s truly me (Sun/Moon), what’s my wounds (Chiron), what’s other people’s narratives (Jupiter), and what’s being shaped by forces outside my control (Pluto)?
We are NOT other people’s narratives, the beliefs and cultural scripts we grow up with (Jupiter) - yet, we are shaped by them. We are the products of our times.
If we were born 20 years ago, we would have probably internalized different ideals of success and beauty. If we were born 100 years ago, we might have had different views on marriage, gender, or morality.
What’s important to us is shaped by the world we live in - yet it’s not who we are.
We are not our wounds (Chiron) - yet they live at the core of our being, drawing us back to their gravity in ways we can’t quite explain. We don’t want to go there, because we don’t want to be triggered. We don’t want to face the pain.
Yet this avoidance means we take some actions and not others; it means we might hold back from risks, stay in situations that feel safe, or repeat patterns just to avoid the sting of the primal wound.
Our life is shaped by our wound - yet that’s not who we are.
And there is Pluto. The unavoidable cycles of life and death. The raw, unnegotiable power of nature. And while we all play by Pluto’s rules, we are NOT Pluto."
