Taurus/Gemini Balsamic Moon
—August 19
Before leaving Taurus, the moon connects to both Vesta and Mars through the final two degrees…
Through Vesta, there is a ridiculously deep connection to be re-sparked, especially if you’re willing to participate within the actual responsibility of such deep connection—this deep connection being, of course, the connection between yourself and your own unique qualifications of worth, and the seemingly endless potentials derived through these.
Through Mars, an amplified inner motivation toward said values—be they inherited or apprenticed—particularly in the context of belonging and acceptance.
Keep in mind, too, that it is now a balsamic moon—a moon of surrender, and endings… these qualifications feeling reconnected and re-sparked—may need re-surrendered to, unless they’ve already underwent something of a previous symbolic death, and are now symbolically being labored for rebirth.
I mention the moon illuminating Mars in conjunction specifically because Mars will be moving into Gemini tomorrow—and will remain in Gemini until March 25, 2023!—and I will be writing a separate post on this via substack…
For the majority of the day you may find yourself needing to—or preferring to—speak out about something, whether this urge has anything to do with your qualifications or not… is anyone’s guess. If you can take a day off—it might be really good for you in terms of more thoroughly thinking things through toward potential opportunities ahead or longer-term arrangements in time. Again, it’s a balsamic moon—not ideal for beginnings.
This said—should you have some actual quality time to think, visualize, levitate, and align yourself with your goals… it’ll likely fulfill its potential when you’re able to more appropriately move forward with it—if you’re willing to really go forward, leaving certain unnecessary details behind…
Particularly, as Mars ingresses into Gemini tomorrow—charging forward and opening many new items of detailed discussion… these new beginnings, quite literally—depending upon whatever house Gemini rules in your chart—it’s important, through today’s moon, to really take the time to think, visualize, levitate, and align with your goals. As I mentioned, specifically, above—with Vesta moving as something of a doorway, a thruway… this is symbolically powerful.
Something to think about—when you’re thinking, visualizing, levitating, and aligning…
