At this Balsamic time, we’re letting go, preparing for the New Moon to come.
The Moon in careful Virgo moves to conjunct the South Node, the perfect place for sorting out what to keep and what to release. This Moon is self sufficient, needing little. There’s not much friction here around letting go.
The chart overall gives us a wider frame that looks really good, actually.
The Big Change triangle is still holding in place, so, we’re still in this time of great change, most of which is not feeling wonderful right now.
Yet the closer-in planets, the ones who frame our day to day lives, offer hopeful support.
Venus, newly arrived in Libra, where she is strong and balanced, aspects the Big Change planets. She trines Pluto and Uranus, while opposing Saturn and Neptune.
This Venus wants to facilitate peace, but not at any cost. She stand for equity and justice, values essential to creating stable, lasting agreements.
Also beauty––the deep lasting kind. Venus reminds us (and Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn) that change can be beautiful.
Jupiter in late Cancer is showering beneficence all over the place. Mercury and Mars in Scorpio move into a trine with Jupiter, as Jupiter moves to trine Saturn in Pisces. This is dreaming of justice with depth, looking at reality without flinching so we can make it better.
Jupiter also forms the hinge of a T-square with the Sun opposing Chiron and Eris. Squares are challenges, yet with Jupiter, the challenge is dreaming big and believing in the future.
The Sun’s opposition to the Chiron–Eris conjunction brings focus too, to our need for healing and how personal healing connects to how we address the world’s needs.
It’s a lot to balance. As we loop back to the Virgo Moon, we refocus on what’s right in front of us. We can figure out what to let go of, with care and precision.
And without regrets. We have the keen insights of Mercury and Mars in Scorpio also aspecting the Nodes, looking clearly and incisively at what has been and what can be. We take in those insights without flinching. We accept the past and move toward possible futures.
Clear-eyed. Fierce. With no regrets.
