We’re now in the extreme waning phase of the Moon — called the balsamic phase. Balsamic<\/a> is an interesting word associated with balm, or something that heals wounds and soothes pains. I don’t know how this word became associated with the phase of the Moon when it’s waning less than 45 degrees from the Sun, but it makes sense, at least this month.<\/p>\n

We haven’t had a Full Moon or New Moon that wasn’t an eclipse since the Aries New Moon. Since then, every lunation has been an eclipse, and that’s been making itself known as the sensation of extreme overdrive. That started to relax with the May 25 Sagittarius Full Moon lunar eclipse — the most recent Full Moon. But since the last eclipse in the series was a Full Moon, the next New Moon is like the closing chapter in the cycle.<\/p>\n

The Gemini New Moon is exact Saturday at 11:56 am EDT. It’s not exactly a warm cup of tea with honey — the New Moon is making many aspects, in particular, to centaur planets Chiron and Pholus, as well as a potent asteroid called Juno. Those points are like growth checkpoints; the centaurs describe various shades of healing process. The trine to Juno — the most exact aspect made by the Sun and Moon — describes something opening up in intimate relationships.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What might that be? Well, there’s another aspect, Mars square Neptune, and that’s a kind of integrity check. My take on this setup is that it represents a question. What haven’t you told your partner? What withholds do you have, have you openly deceived him, her or them about anything, and do you have any plans that you want to reveal?<\/p>\n

I would declare this Saturday and Sunday “come clean with your spouse, partner, boyfriend or girlfriend weekend.” One thing I can tell you from the astrology is that the way is open. Clarity is possible. You get a kind of a pass; what you get clear about now will be easier than addressing it in the future. If there’s something you want that you haven’t mentioned, now would be the time.<\/p>\n

I suggest you pay attention to any problems or situations that you know or even suspect are related to alcohol use. So often I’ve seen this as the point of impasse in relationships. If you’re faced with this, I have two questions: how long has it been going on, and how many times have you said enough is enough?<\/p>\n

Contemplating those themes will give you good information to work with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
