It seems right to enter the Balsamic phase of this eclipse-to-eclipse lunar cycle with a Moon in Pisces.
There’s so much happening in the sky and in the world, it might seem impossible to slow down and let things be–yet this is exactly what we’re meant to do. It’s a time for letting go, allowing what is complete to dissolve.
Mercury is retrograde, encouraging us to look especially at how we do Aries.
Are we are too impatient, easily frustrated, and pushing ourselves constantly? It’s a great time to see what drives those choices. Can we soften? It could make things go better, not worse.
Perhaps we’re not enough Aries. Are we too easy going? Do we give away too much of our time and energy because it’s tough to say ‘no’? We can also look at those patterns and adjust.
Yet, perhaps our best approach to this complex time is to watch and listen. What’s happening in your life? What are you noticing? Whatever grabs your attention could be exactly what you need to focus on.
In Pisces, the Moon invites us to dream, float, surrender to the oceanic tides. In this chaotic time between eclipses, this could be our best move.
Notable in this chart are the number of conjunctions: so many conversations going on.
The Sun, North Node, and Chiron. Jupiter and Uranus. Mars and Saturn. Mercury and Eris. And Venus, who has just joined the Aries throng, separating from her conjunction with Neptune into a sextile with Pluto.
This New Moon eclipse will be an intense one. We’re already feeling the energy.
Moving through these next Balsamic days in an open and relaxed state, or as close to relaxed as we can get, is an excellent choice.
