Balsamic Moon Phase
Moon:
Capricorn
Ruling Mahavidya: Kali
The Moon returns to the position it
held at the New Moon on January 1, making conjunctions with Pluto and Venus
today.
We started the month with the
unfolding Sabian symbol theme of “students of nature lecturing, revealing
little-known aspects of life.”
It has been a long journey this
month, like a study abroad, but we are much improved by it – wiser.
But even though we are in the
Balsamic phase of the Moon, the time when we would be taking an energetic
“vacation” after the semester, we feel far from relaxed.
There are many reasons for this
but three that are primary are:
1)
Mars is preparing to turn retrograde
and is churning at a standstill, whipping up the winds of war with
Eris, conjuring plenty of little wars between people;
2)
Venus is preparing to turn direct
and is churning at a standstill, pounding our relationships with
Pluto, transforming those relationships into something else or banishing
them entirely; and
3)
the biggie: we are in the energy
that is preparing for the final lunar month of the final year of the
“old world” (the year that began with the astrological new year, the New Moon
in Aries, of April 2013).
So the challenge of staying
grounded while in the midst of these massive energetic factors is
resolved, as always, by getting back “on time” with nature and finding the
frequency or mindset the current Moon phase, the Balsamic Moon
phase. Balsamic phase is the time when we release the past month and
prepare for the next.
We release or surrender what we do
not want to carry forward.
It’s dreamy, drifty energy.
In a grand cycle of time, we are
orienting ourselves in the pre-dawn hours of the last month of a
dissolving world.
It is hard to feel grounded under
such influences.
But it is an honor to behold, isn’t
it?
How many people truly know what we
are on the edge of?
This is what helps: First,
understand that with these dramatic retrogrades of Mars and Venus,
relationships, structures, and foundations must transform or slip
away.
The way this happens is that we
change and relationships follow suit.
These energies are trying to bring
us to our highest and best.
With Pluto and Eris in the mix here,
you can bet your bottom dollar that we have face to face encounters with things
we don’t want to see about ourselves and others.
When things become difficult, turn
it over to a higher power… Kali remains on duty and is more than willing to
annihilate anything that is limiting us… and walk away from it, if only for a
little while.
Go outside, reconnect with
nature, and watch for signs.
Wash away the old with water – in
the shower, a pool, or whatever.
Consciously intend that the old is
washing away. Facilitate the process instead of resisting it.
And keep in mind that February 21-22
will bring another evolution to whatever is happening in relationships right
now.
Second, for the more esoteric-minded
wise owls, remember that we’ve crossed a bridge in space-time and have arrived
on the field to hold ground, not to battle… holding ground is defensive,
however.
But this is our place.
We’ve been escorted here by Kali
herself and it is a place where the sacred feminine and sacred masculine are
united.
There is no conflict
here.
The natural world order
reigns.
We are sovereign.
This is our home.
We are home, meaning in complete
resonance with Gaia Sophia, the divine being embodied as our planet.
We are in the new world-mind space
and the rest of the world will follow.
Archons are attacking it for sure,
but it matters not.
They bounce off like rubber
balls.
It’s no contest at all.
The contest, or the mission from
here on out, is to hold the field of consciousness for it to expand.
This means we hold ourselves
together and continue to build the things we’ve been building all of our lives
while the old world continues to dissolve around us.
It’s now a matter of watching it
dissolve and remaining as unscathed or untraumatized by it as possible and to
help others do the same.
Finally, we do what we do.
We keep it real, we find beauty, and
we fall back in love with life.
