The New Moon in Libra, starting today, puts a cosmic reset in our relationships. It's restoring balance where the scales have tipped too far, creating connection where there has been tension or friction, and attracting authentic love energy that truly feels like peace. Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of beauty, attraction, and pleasure, making this one of the most heart-opening Moons of the year. And as the first lunar event post-eclipse season it also represents the calm after the storm, the chance to ground yourself, take stock, and invest in what you want.
Take a moment to think of your current love question. Below, I've pulled three tarot cards for each sign and together they create a message for your love life during this New Moon in Libra. From aligning your heart and head to understanding where balance is needed most, the below tarot reading will help guide you during this love-heavy Libra New Moon. Keep scrolling for your reading!
ARIES
NINE OF PENTACLES, THE EMPEROR, KNIGHT OF SWORDS
You are on the cusp of a major long-term improvement in your love life future, everything that flows from this point on is positive and has building energy. But there is one ask of you: challenge the status quo. There is an imbalance in the power dynamics you play in and this creates friction and distrust. Equality is the key to success, and you must be the one to force this switch, to make the change, the reset the scales. You might meet with resistance but you’re Aries, you can push through anything, and this is worth it.
TAURUS
THE DEVIL, FIVE OF SWORDS, KING OF WANDS
An irresistible, but maybe unwise, attraction is pulling you into dangerous waters, Taurus. It could cause trouble within an existing relationship, be that friendship or romance. I suppose everything has its price, even love. Most new relationships create ripples, good and bad, and you must weigh up what you truly desire and who truly deserves a place in your inner circle. Put purpose into your actions, not just lust, and the answers will present themselves more readily, and the right outcome will unfold.
GEMINI
FIVE OF WANDS, ACE OF WANDS, QUEEN OF PENTACLES
You are ready to commit, to settle down, to stick to the gameplan and agreed vision of the future. That’s largely because you’re the one designing and creating it, given your powers of invention and imagination. You are bringing healing, repairing, building, and manifesting energy to your relationship realm this New Moon. You want an alliance not just a relationship, you want a life partner that you can construct a wonderful lifestyle with. This has to be someone special and, if you're seeking, I get Fire sign vibes, as in Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius.
CANCER
THE MAGICIAN, THE FOOL, KNIGHT OF SWORDS
You can be very passive in relationships, accepting whatever is offered readily and undervaluing your immense power of attraction. This New Moon is like a personal awakening on that front: you see yourself clearly as the catch you truly are! Suddenly everything feels different. Old dalliances, tricky entanglements, lingering exes, and heartbreaking affairs (the usual fodder you’d find in any Cancerian’s love life) are all swept away. It’s time for a new game, an authentic and real relationship that puts you on equal footing with someone available, adorable and actually able to sustain the vision of long-lasting love that you desire. This is it, Cancer.
LEO
NINE OF SWORDS, QUEEN OF SWORDS, THE STAR
These cards are asking you to step outside of whatever relationship landscape you find yourself in this New Moon, Leo, and think solo, think for yourself, put your desires first. You are getting a cosmic pass which grants you a heartfelt wish. Who will you spend it on? What will you address? I worry that you are putting your hopes on someone who isn’t right, and therefore things have been difficult and troubled. Don’t wish for them. Wish for something better for yourself. Believe in an abstract vision of your ideal love and ask for that to come your way. Magic is all around you. Don’t waste it on someone undeserving.
VIRGO
SIX OF SWORDS, EIGHT OF SWORDS, THE EMPRESS
True love awaits you this New Moon, Virgo, and the kind of safe, nurturing, passionate and loyal love that you really deserve. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and Taurus look like good bets if you’re single. This true love comes about from a shift within yourself. You stop projecting hopes and even fantasies onto other folk, overwriting their real nature with an idealized version. You stop making excuses for people and accepting poor treatment. Drawing a new boundary limits who has access to you, and this propels the right person to the front of the line. Do you see them yet?
LIBRA
THE CHARIOT, FOUR OF WANDS, ACE OF CUPS
This New Moon, in your own sign, is a great omen for you, inviting positive change almost immediately, and certainly stretching into the week ahead. If you’re single and seeking, then your vibration will attract a dream lover your way. If you’re attached and wondering, your partner will show you how much you mean to them. If you’re attached and content, the shared plans you make this week will activate the best life chapter you’re yet to write. And if you’re happily single, then your social life will be full of all the reasons you like being solo right now!
SCORPIO
ACE OF COINS, THE HANGED MAN, PAGE OF WANDS
A new mindset and list of values is emerging in your relationship realm and it’s all been triggered by an unexpected, potentially unusual source. Perhaps you’ve remembered a time in your childhood that you wished your parents behaved differently. Maybe you’ve had a really off-the-wall conversation with someone about their own love life. Maybe you’ve realized what it is you most want from a relationship and it’s not what you’ve been given so far. There’s a shift, a pivot, and a change of heart this week, and it activates the beginning of a year-long process of love life change. Buckle up.
SAGITTARIUS
THE LOVERS, TEN OF PENTACLES, DEATH
Sagittarians are known as being restless and roving in love, a nice way of saying you’re a bit unreliable. And maybe that’s been fair in the past, but this New Moon marks a shift in terms of your desire for stability, certainty, and future security within your closest relationship. Distractions and temptations are put firmly aside. A plan of action for the future is drawn up, one which supports you both individually and as a duo. Stuff that needs to change or be left behind is being given attention at last. It’s a new dawn, a new day, and a new love life for you.
CAPRICORN
KNIGHT OF PENTACLES, STRENGTH, SIX OF PENTACLES
If you work hard at the right relationship, Capricorn, then the sky’s the limit in terms of where it can take you in life. Think: power couple. How do you know it’s the right relationship though? Well, balance and equal measures of investment are key. You can’t carry something solo, it takes two. And you gotta’ feel like things are reciprocated, appreciated, and initiated too. Challenges should be shared, faced together, and with a team spirit. You want a partner on all levels, an ally and a lover. This is the standard for you, Cap, and anything less is not worth your precious time. Realize this.
AQUARIUS
THE STAR, TWO OF SWORDS, FOUR OF CUPS
You have a big decision to make, Aquarius, this New Moon. You’ve got to weigh it all up, wrestle with the options, and come to a firm conclusion that you act on by the end of this week. I sense you’re a little bored or fed up with something (or someone) and it’s true that when you hit a crossroads it’s generally wise to head in the direction of something new (otherwise why did you reach a crossroads at all, if the road was meant to be straight). Make wish, listen to your heart, come to a decision, and take a step. Do all of this and what you wish for in love will be yours.
PISCES
THE HIEROPHANT, KING OF PENTACLES, QUEEN OF WANDS
You want it all! You loyalty and freedom, adventure and stability, passion and comfort. And if anything in life can give you it all then it’s romance and love. Relationships are always multi-faceted, complex, and shape-shifting, especially yours because you’re a mutable sign and the last of the zodiac so you embody a little bit of everyone. You are seeking a union that lets you shift and change, that creates new magic and alchemy every day, that’s unpredictable but certain. This is the prize. It’s achieved by you leading the way, showing how it’s done, setting an example. Start now, train them, live this magical life together.
