Late tonight we enter the Balsamic phase, closest to the New Moon. This is the letting go phase, when we compost what we no longer need to prepare for a new cycle.
We have an intriguing, exciting, framework for doing this, too. The Leo Moon conjuncts Venus as both trine Chiron in Aries.
Our passions are front and center, as well as our emotional triggers. The semisquare to the Virgo Sun might make it tricky for us to hear “good advice.”
Moon and Venus apply to square Uranus (change is underway) and sextile Mercury (so let’s make something beautiful with the mess).
These connections can combine for us in different ways. The key will be whether we can access the Moon–Venus connection to understand something deep about our Chronic patterns.
Where we feel stuck creatively and/or in relationship, can we create and express that pain with great heart and passion? If we do, something will shift.
Can we connect with a desire we’ve ignored or denied? Can we claim the right to feel what we feel, without apology? If we can, something will shift.
Uranus in Taurus and Mercury in Libra are both ruled by Venus in Leo. Yes, this is the Balsamic phase but that doesn’t mean it’s a time to play small. Why not let go extravagantly? Dramatically? With intensity?
Tonight we get to the heart of what is holding us back. We see it, feel it, express it–and in so doing, we let it go.
