Gemini Balsamic Moon
—August 2

A gentle reminder: through these new and awakening days of Air we are being challenged to change the ways in which we think about EVERYTHING, particularly in matters involved within the houses these planetary influences are transiting for you…

Especially after yesterday’s sun/Mercury conjunction in Leo, through a degree that resembles a ‘creative and inspired individual open to the spirit that ‘makes everything new’…’

A Gemini moon in its balsamic phase is connecting to the North Node through a degree that astrology Dane Rudhyar associated with the idea that “the mind of man is essentially a trans-piercing power; it goes through the object toward which it is aimed… it seeks to go through and beyond the obstacles on its path, and this usually implies the destruction of the obstacle—at a higher level, the obstacle is the ego.”

In other words—today would be a powerful day to release old or outdated ways of thinking about something, especially if this something you’re thinking about is new, either to you or overall.

❝He judged the instant and let go; he flung himself loose into the stars.❞
——Annie Dillard
