We slipped into the Balsamic Moon a few hours ago just after the Moon entered Scorpio.
Yes, we’re entering shadowlands again but the dark sky overhead is full of stars. Some are falling all around us. The earth under our feet shifts in strange ways. We almost dance to keep our footing.
The Sun meets the South Node: The past is illuminated. Mercury is under the beams of the Sun: What we learn we cannot yet put into words. Neptune continues to square the Nodes and now the Sun: There is great mystery here.
The Moon opposes Uranus: The deep changes underway need our emotional presence and commitment for they are within as much as in the outer world. The Moon is inconjunct Chiron: Healing work is awkward and uncomfortable even though we know it will help in the long run.
Venus and Juno sextile Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn: If we are brave enough, we can see the underbelly of our current crises. We can realize there are solutions in that muddy muck and they are beautiful.
The Moon is sesquiquadrate the Sun. This square-and-a-half is not a Ptolemaic aspect and yet ushers us into the dark time of the Moon, a time of release, transition, preparation.
The New Moon will be a Solar Eclipse. Preparation is called for. And the waxing cycle to follow will bring powerful shifts to deliver us to the end of this incredible year.
Invest time, thought, heart in these next few days. Delve deep. We are exhausted. We are sad. We are fearful. We are in a powerful time. We can feel change all around us. Hang in there. Look at the stars.
