Everything Is Energy

The Libra New Moon on October 10, 2026 invites us into a deeper exploration of balance, relationship, justice, reciprocity, and the ways we communicate with one another. With the Sun and Moon together at 17° Libra opposite Saturn in Aries, this New Moon asks us to consider not only what we want from our relationships and communities, but also what genuine balance may require from us.
In this episode of Everything is Energy, I explore the astrology of the Libra New Moon, including its supportive connection with Jupiter in Leo and the powerful Mars-Pluto opposition still moving through the chart. Mercury and Venus come together in Scorpio at an important focal point, drawing our attention beneath the surface of our relationships, conversations, values, and assumptions. With Venus now retrograde—and Mercury preparing to retrograde later this month—there is a strong invitation to revisit what we value, reconsider what we thought we understood, and listen more deeply.
We also explore Mars conjunct Varuna in Leo, Pluto conjunct Altair in Aquarius, Uranus conjunct Sedna in Gemini, the continuing Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and the larger configurations connecting these energies. Again and again, the chart brings us back to communication, relationship, personal responsibility, and the question of how we create meaningful balance in a changing world.
I close the episode with a guided New Moon meditation, Returning to What We Know. We begin floating in a peaceful ocean, experiencing the feeling of being completely held and supported, before two dolphins invite us beneath the surface to reconnect with an ancient place of remembering. It is a meditation for reciprocity, inner fullness, deeper listening, and remembering the wisdom we already carry.

Venus retrograde in Scorpio and Libra, October 3–November 13, 2026, invites us to revisit our relationships, reconnect with our values, and explore the ways we give and receive. In this episode of Everything Is Energy, Lisa Marie Haley expands Venus's symbolism beyond love and beauty to include balance, harmony, justice, reciprocity, creativity, pleasure, and self-worth.
We explore two perspectives on Venus in Scorpio: her traditional placement in detriment and her archetypal capacity to meet emotional depths that humans may find uncomfortable. Themes of intimacy, trust, desire, shared resources, and power offer opportunities to recognize unspoken expectations and bring greater honesty into our connections.
With the Sun in Venus-ruled Libra for most of October and Venus making powerful aspects to Mercury, Mars, Pluto, the Sun, and Chiron, this month brings a strong Venusian emphasis. Venus's return to Libra on October 25 becomes a central part of the journey, inviting us to bring what we have discovered into more conscious agreements and a deeper experience of mutual care.

Why are we drawn to certain places—and why can a particular city or landscape bring out an entirely different part of who we are? In this episode, I offer a grounded introduction to astrocartography, a branch of astrology that maps the planets in your birth chart across the world. We will explore how planetary lines are calculated, what the four angles represent, and how astrocartography can help us consider questions about where to live, work, travel, create, and grow. I also share how intuition may draw us toward a place before we understand its astrological significance, along with a practical example of how these patterns can appear in a life.

The Aries Full Moon is exact on September 26, 2026 at 9:49 a.m. Pacific, with the Moon at 3° Aries opposing the Sun at 3° Libra and tightly conjunct Neptune. I've been thinking about this Full Moon as a moment of revelation—not necessarily because everything suddenly becomes clear, but because something we haven't been able to see may finally begin to emerge.
In this episode, I explore the Aries-Libra axis of self and relationship, the powerful Moon-Neptune conjunction, Pluto opposite Mars and Procyon, Venus in Scorpio, and Mercury in Libra conjunct the fixed stars Arcturus and Spica. We also look at the remarkable geometry of this Full Moon chart, including the long-running outer-planet minor triangle, a grand trine, two T-squares, a mystic rectangle, and a kite connecting many of these energies together.
Following the Virgo New Moon and its invitation to change the way we change, this Full Moon may help illuminate why some of those changes have become necessary. I close the episode with a guided meditation for remaining present within change, listening to our intuition, and allowing clarity to emerge without forcing an answer.
I also share a little about my new 2027 Lunar Herbal Alchemy Calendar, a weekly calendar for following the lunar and astrological rhythms of the coming year, with major transits and eclipses noted and space for reflection and journaling.
Love and Blessings,

There is so much ahead of us to learn, build, and explore. Uranus has only recently entered Gemini, opening an entirely new cycle involving communication, technology, information, education, transportation, and the ways we understand the world around us. Chiron has taken its first steps into Taurus, beginning a longer conversation about the body, the Earth, nourishment, security, self-worth, and what it truly means to create a life that can be sustained.
