The New Moon in October 2025 links directly to Saturn and Neptune. So, the spiritual meaning of the New Moon October 2025 astrology is making your dreams come true by overcoming fear, confusion, uncertainty and indecision.
The October 21 New Moon offers a choice between securing what you already have and venturing out into the world to acquire something new. It is time for deliberation and decision.
New Moon October 2025 Astrology
The New Moon on October 21, 2025, is at 28°21′ Libra. As usual, the long-term background influence is the blue Magic Triangle. The New Moon is widely square Jupiter and Pluto, and Jupiter trine Saturn is just coming into effect.
However, the most significant influence comes from the green quincunx aspects to Saturn and Neptune. I will focus on these because they offer a direct link to access the opportunties held in the Magic Triangle.
New Moon October 2025 Meaning
Sun conjunct Moon represents cyclic renewal as a new 28-day moon phase begins. You can draw a line under the past, turn over a new leaf, and start fresh. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for creative and inventive new ways to grow and prosper.
The monthly alignment of the Sun and Moon reconciles your conscious ego and subconscious feelings to provide balance, focus and perspective. It gives a rejuvenating burst of energy, initiative, and enthusiasm, excellent for defining your priorities and setting ambitious goals.
Exciting Opportunities
The Magic Triangle is a long-term influence that lasts from July 2025 to June 2028. It is bringing extraordinary discoveries, revelations, inventions, and breakthroughs that are radically transforming and revolutionizing technology, religion, society, politics, and the economy.
In response to external changes, we are undergoing an inner transformation that offers a deeper understanding of ourselves and a broader perspective on life. The Magic Triangle is encouraging us to become more open-minded, progressive, receptive to change, and accepting of others. A spiritual awakening promises harmony and growth.
Long Deliberation
The October 2025 New Moon quincunx Saturn and quincunx Neptune provides the sensitivity and awareness that helps you form a vision, or projection, of a beautiful and tangible future. However, fear, confusion, uncertainty, and hesitation will quickly bring a painful realization: unlocking the promises of the Magic Triangle is a long-term process.
Contemplation and turning inwards lead to longing, wishing and hoping; a conscious striving for something you do not have. But these quincunx aspects also provide psychological thinking and the imaginative ability to make things happen.
Latent or awakened awareness, along with the ability for differentiated thinking, enables you to transcend polarized thinking that views issues in black or white terms, or as good or evil. This neutralization of opposites leads to a search for meaning, flexibility, and the need for knowledge.
Eventually, you will seek to understand causality and the underlying reasons for everything, and also look for finalities. Quincunxes force decisions. This longer intellectual process helps you discover the direction and meaning of developments, ultimately leading to a clearer direction in life.
However, this process often leads to insecurity and crises of indecision. You need to plan very carefully, consider everything thoroughly, and avoid rushing into anything. Also, don’t assume you already know everything. Restricting yourself to a single goal will aid decision-making.
New Moon in The Virgin
The October 21 New Moon is in the Sign of Libra. But because of the precession of the equinoxes, it is in the Constellation of Virgo. The New Moon October 2025 astrology is influenced by the Stars and Constellations, not Sun Signs.
New Moon in Virgo Constellation promotes order, steadiness, harmony, respect, practicality, accuracy, analysis and ingenuity. It makes you industrious, discriminating, conscientious, humane, meticulous, constructive, and tidy.
However, harsh aspects can cause worry, arrogance, prejudice, hypocrisy, gossip and self-pity, and make you selfish, snobby, dull, too cautious, timid, fussy, nagging and critical. [1]
This New Moon aligns with Tau Virginis on the right knee of the Virgin. But the closest alignment is with stars in the Constellation Boötes, the Herdsman.
- 28♎06 – Tau Virginis
- 28♎06 – 18 Boötis
- 28♎08 – 15 Boötis
- 28♎21 – New Moon October 2025
- 28♎27 – Epsilon Boötis, Izar
Fixed star Izar on the waist of the Herdsman gives strong passions, artistic feelings, gain through women and friends, honor and preferment in martial affairs. It also shows a keen interest in our origins and a protective nature that wants us to enter our future development as a species safely. Ancient peoples revered Izar as the star from which their ancestors first came to this planet. [2]
Constellation Boötes, the Herdsman, brings prosperity through work, strong desires, a tendency to excess, a fondness for rural pursuits, and a liking for occultism. [3]
15 and 18 Boötis belonged to the obsolete constellation Mons Maenalus, Mount Maenalus. It brings pride and dignity, along with extraordinary abilities, but also some destructiveness and a life beset by difficulties. [3]
New Moon October 2025 Spiritual Meaning
The October 2025 New Moon astrology is challenging because of the quincunx aspects to Saturn and Neptune. They create fear, confusion and uncertainty. But they also provide the psychological thinking skills to overcome fear, discover the truth, and act decisively to unlock the potential of the Magic Triangle.
The October 21 New Moon forces a decision in response to rising anxiety and pessimism in a polarizing and increasingly dangerous world.
One decision involves being conservative and guarding what you already have by putting up barriers, asserting control, restricting freedom, imposing orthodoxy, hunting for scapegoats and persecuting heretics. However, seeking security in this way brings stagnation, debt, and conflict.
The more progressive decision involves facing your fears and venturing out into the world to acquire something new, with tolerance, open-mindedness, innovation and optimism. This option requires true courage and speaking out, but delivers harmony, peace and prosperity.
Moon Phases
The influence of the October 21 New Moon lasts four weeks up to the November 20 New Moon. The best time for starting new projects is during the two-week waxing moon phase from October 21 to November 5.
