New Moon in Libra — October 10, 2026
Sun and Moon meet at 17°22′ Libra on October 10, 2026 at 15:51 UTC.
Exact instant: October 10, 2026 at 15:51 UTC — Moon at 17°22′ Libra. Computed by the observatory's VSOP87 pipeline, not reprinted.
At 15:51 UTC on October 10, 2026 the luminaries meet at 17°22′ Libra. On its own that is the year's relationship seed point — a new moon in the sign of the other. This year it lands mid-Venus-retrograde, seven days after Libra's own ruler turned backward in Scorpio.
A new moon ruled by a retrograde planet reads as a conditional start: begin, but begin by revising. The fortnight favors repair over recruitment — the apology drafted, the contract re-read, the standing agreement renewed on better terms — rather than the brand-new pact, which Venus's review period will want to reopen anyway.
The seed planted here gets its floodlight at the Taurus full moon on October 26, in Venus's other sign — the two lunations of this cycle are both filed under Venus's portfolio while Venus itself is mid-audit. It is a distinctly review-flavored month.

Common questions.
When exactly is the new moon in libra?
Sun and Moon meet at 17°22′ Libra on October 10, 2026 at 15:51 UTC.
How were these times computed?
Every instant on this page is a root of the same VSOP87 ephemeris pipeline that casts charts on this site — the engine solves for the exact geometry (conjunction, opposition, station, or cusp crossing) rather than reprinting an almanac. Lunations are good to a few minutes; stations are shallow turns, so treat their clock times as accurate to a few hours.
What does it mean for my own chart?
Sky events land differently in every chart because houses depend on your exact birth time and place. The free cast returns your Big 3 — Sun, Moon, and Rising — instantly; the paid readings map your natal chart placement by placement, including the house cusps that 17°22′ Libra would fall against.
Where does it land in your chart?
Where 17°22′ Libra lands depends on your house cusps, and those need your exact birth time and place. The free cast returns your Big 3 — Sun, Moon, and Rising in under a minute, no signup; the paid readings map your natal chart in full, placement by placement.
