New Moon September 2022: Romantic Libra Moon wants us to manifest love – just in time for cuffing season

Hot person summer is officially over – with an emphasis on the word hot. You likely experienced scorching temperatures wherever you were, and hopefully, in addition to the extreme heat, you also got to experience the much-desired summer fling (or flings).

After Fall Equinox 2022, the nights are creeping in and days are getting shorter - just in time for pumpkin spice lattes, warmer clothes, and cozy nights in. The New Moon September 2022 takes to the sky and our focus shifts from filling up our dating roster to firming up our committed partnerships. Time to get clearer about the dynamics we want to actively participate in – and with who. Libra season 2022 is kicking off, meaning that the timing couldn’t be better to buckle down and really consider your wants and needs. Of all the dates in the Moon calendar 2022 - this one is for the romantics.

This Libra New Moon, taking place on Sunday, September 25, 2022, at 5:55 PM EST, the New Moon September 2022 offers us a gorgeous opportunity to call in love. We can feel confident about our efforts too because as this New Moon perfects, the Sun and Moon will oppose big-hearted Jupiter. Usually, astrologers look at oppositions as moments of tension, but not when Jupiter is involved. Instead, this opposition reinforces the theme Libra is known for – balance. 

Instead of prioritizing the other person, the opposition to Jupiter in Aries will remind us of the importance of prioritizing our own needs and desires, too. That’s the point of partnership, after all, that both people get something out of it. So, as we manifest our dream relationship, marriage, business partnership, or any other one-on-one match-up, this aspect ensures that the person at the other end can hold up their end of the bargain. 

Consider re-reading your love horoscope 2022 - have you noticed any cosmic correlations in your own preexisting or new romantic relationships? Or maybe you're still on the hunt and if that's the case - the New Moon September 2022 is the time to manifest. It’s like the stars are saying, 'dream big.' In fact, dream bigger than you think possible. You can make them real, and never forget that you deserve the love you desire. Don’t play small. Don’t ask for less than you want, and don’t accept anything less, either.  

New Moons are always times for optimism because even though we can’t see the light of the Moon, we’re called to believe in ourselves and in the infinite possibilities of the Universe. The New Moon September 2022 is just that extra dose of love and luck we want and need to move enthusiastically towards those new partnerships and new relationships that will bring us one step closer to fulfilling our dreams. Believe it can happen!

Here's how the New Moon in Libra of September 2022 will affect you depending on your star sign. For the most accurate reading, look at your sun or rising sign according to your astrology birth chart.

How the New Moon September 2022 will affect your star sign

Aries

What do you want from love, Aries? Whether you’re coupled up or perpetually single or somewhere in between, there is likely some part of your love life you’d now like to change. Maybe you gave away too much of yourself for someone else’s dream. Perhaps you evaded commitment because it felt counter to your free-spirited nature or your own ambitions. This New Moon in your seventh house of partnership is your reminder that the past is the past. What’s important is how you feel right now. In this moment. it is okay to change your mind. You have permission to want something different than what you previously said – or to want something you previously said you didn’t. And it’s also more than OK to ask for it. And that’s all you have to do. Ask for what you want and know you deserve it.

Taurus

Are you making room for love? Are you finding time for joy? These sound like the kind of self-serious self-care message you may find printed on a tea bag. One you read, nod briefly at, and then completely forget about. Because you have more important things to do. Emails to answer, meetings to attend, deadlines to reach, right? And that’s just the thing, Taurus. If you’re so busy doing-doing-doing, when will you have time for why you’re doing all those things in the first place? With this New Moon in your sixth house of daily activities, the cosmic task is to be intentional about your time and space. If we are what we repeatedly do, then every day, make time and space for something you love doing. That’s how you’ll get more of it. That’s how you’ll find your true sense of purpose in each day.

Gemini

What would your love life look like if you could stop worrying about what everyone else thought, Gemini? It could be exactly as you picture if you’re only brave and direct enough, to be honest. With the New Moon September 2022 in your fifth house of fun and pleasure, it’s time to do what you do best: talk about it. Be open. Be experimental. Be willing to go against what other people think you should do. You have full cosmic permission to flirt your heart out, fall in love, fall out of love, fall back into love, and spend as much time as you like in any of those stages. Life is for living and it’s also for loving. So, spend doing those two things and less time trying to live up to anyone else’s impossible – or frankly, boring – expectations. You’re too magical for that.

Cancer

What does safety feel like to you, Cancer? What would it take to truly feel secure enough to be vulnerable with someone? This New Moon in your fourth house of home is activating one of the more private sectors of your chart. The area of your life where you do not let most people see. Now you have a chance to manifest real intimacy. And sometimes that can look messy. This lunation is about reminding you that appearances or public perceptions don’t matter. Let go of the need to look or be perfect – or expecting it of anyone else either. This is about opening yourself up to loving yourself and those closest to you not despite the apparent flaws or shortcomings – but because of them. It’s about learning there are no bad parts. Just parts to integrate and accept – in yourself and in others.

Leo

If you could write a love letter to yourself, what would it say? That’s what the stars are asking you to craft during this New Moon in your third house of communication. Others might’ve gotten hung on the potential 'cringe' factor of this assignment, but if any sign is up for this task, it’s you, Leo. Write out all your wonderful qualities – make a list. You could even script out your wildest fantasies of what you know to be true of yourself. That you are everyone’s number one personal cheerleader. That you’re brave. That when you love, you give your full heart. That your inner light is so brilliant, and others still can’t look away. That you have a fire inside of you. And as you write this, know that this is utterly and absolutely what you deserve to have reflected back to you – and what you will soon.

Virgo

What would your relationships look like if you didn’t rush in to fix everything, Virgo? With this New Moon in your second house of personal resources, you’re being invited to consider what’s of true value to you. Love is not a home-improvement project. The price of being loved is not having to be perfect. The beauty of love is in imperfections. Use this love-centered energy to focus on the details, not to fuss over them or try to fix them - but to appreciate them. Recognize that it’s the little things you do that make your life and your love worthwhile. That makes it a treasure to give to someone else, and for them to be on the receiving end of. You don’t have to earn love and your job during the New Moon September 2022 is to feel this message to your core.

Libra

What do you love about love, Libra? It’s certainly exciting to feel that indescribable chemistry spark with another soul. It can feel thrilling to wonder what will happen next. To fantasize about lifetimes together, relationship milestones, or just the beauty in doing mundane tasks together. But with this New Moon in your first house of self-identity, it’s your cosmic reminder that love is also about affirmation, validation, and feeling seen. It’s not solely about what you can do for other people or how other people see you. But how with their reciprocal feelings of love, the best parts of you are able to shine. That someone is able to see you for you – and value that. It’s easy to get caught up in the other person, no matter the stage of the relationship. What are they thinking, how do they feel? But don’t forget to ask those questions of yourself, too.

Scorpio

What would you love to let go of, Scorpio? As a fixed sign, you’re known for your loyalty and commitment once you’ve decided to love someone. But that dogged determination can impede your ability to let go of a relationship – or at least, a pattern in that relationship – that has long reached its expiration date. Maybe it’s constantly checking in on an ex – whether directly or looking at their social media. Whatever it is, this moment is not about self-shame or blame. This New Moon in your twelfth house of the subconscious is an empowerment moment instead. One where you can begin to be honest with yourself about what behaviors, thoughts, or patterns you know are no longer serving you, and instead, start to show yourself the love you so want to give to other people. It starts by being emotionally available to yourself.

Sagittarius

How much value do you place on platonic love, Sagittarius? We know that books, TV, movies, and popular music puts a heavy emphasis on romantic love. And scrolling through our social media feeds shows us that we congratulate others - showering them with praise, attention, and gifts when they find a partner. But why don’t we do that for arguably underrated but no less important relationships: our friendships? With this New Moon in your eleventh house of group relationships, you have a real opportunity to be cosmically showered with the kind of supportive friendships we all need in life. Make a deliberate effort to show your appreciation to your ride-or-dies during this lunation. And, if you feel like you want to expand your networks, now is the perfect time to ask the stars to align you with like-minded people with the same outlook. 

Capricorn

Do you love what you do, Capricorn? The question isn’t if you’re good at it – you likely are. But the real question for you to dig into during the New Moon in your tenth house of career is if you love your work. Now is the time to decide if you have passion for your career and your current trajectory – and begin to think about ways you could tweak or change it. Do you like your work – but perhaps don’t enjoy the people you’re doing that work with? Perhaps you’d like different conditions in which to perform your work – ones that are more aligned with your lifestyle. Because for you, this is dream job manifestation time. You’re a Capricorn, so you already have the skillset and ambitious mindset. Now you need the belief that your work and career can look exactly like you want them to – because why couldn’t it?

Aquarius

Where does your mind go when you let it wander, Aquarius? It’s likely pointing you in the direction of your heart. With this New Moon in your ninth house of spirituality, this is all about welcoming in more opportunities to do what you love. For a high-minded, deep-thinking sign like you, what you love likely includes time spent learning, growing, traveling, studying, and otherwise expanding your horizons. And now is the time to speak what you want into existence. It’s your time to manifest the activities you want to do to be the person you’ve always wanted to become. You have one life as the soul you have incarnated as – and yes, that sounds lofty, because it is. Make the most of your time by making the time you spent daydreaming about what you want and bringing it closer to your lived reality.

Pisces

What scares you about love, Pisces? You’re a dreamer. And you can easily escape to fantasy, creating a picture-perfect fairytale romance, one that feels safe because it’s all contained within you. No risk of rejection. No risk of a person failing to live up - but this New Moon in your eighth house of intimacy is about honesty. Sure, you might say you want someone who always says the perfect thing or does exactly what you want without you having to ask. Be honest though Pisces - would you really even want that? Or do you crave something deeper? Something more meaningful? Something less expected? And someone who is willing to push you to get to know yourself – and this life – on a more spiritual and soulful level? You can manifest your dream lover, but one who surpasses the status quo. This is soul mate energy you’re after, and you can have it.
