Current Moon Phase

Balsamic Moon | January 16 - 20













The Sun is in stability and security-minded (sidereal) Capricorn.

Saturn, ruler of the Capricorn Sun, is in Scorpio.

The Moon is in (sidereal) Scorpio stirring things up beneath the surface in the Lunar Mansion Jyeshtha as we move into Balsamic Moon Phase on January 16th.

Mars and Neptune join forces in humanitarian, idealistic (sidereal) Aquarius during the Balsamic moon Phase and this can bring a very hypnotic and dreamy quality that draws us inward to the imagination and can challenge us to get things accomplished productively in our daily life.

We may also be more easily susceptible to suggestion and deception so keep that in mind and try to hold off on making major decisions or binding agreements during this period. Wisely avoid drugs,alcohol and impulsive or risky behavior.

Innovative Aquarius rules the tech world as well. We may tap into some brilliant and inspiring innovative ideas over the few days, but likewise need to use caution before clicking on links or sharing passwords and personal information on our mobile devices to help to avoid the shadow aspect of this configuration.

Spend some quality time in meditation, creative journaling, working on an artistic endeavor or creating a vision board collage and you can utilize this dreamy drven motivation to reconnect with your imagination and soul guidance.


This is the 8th and final phase of this month's lunar journey. The Moon is waning to a thin Crescent as we complete and assimilate the past months cycle of growth and discovery and prepare to begin again.

We are halfway between Last Quarter and New Moon and in the dark moon phase of the Lunar month.

The coalescence all that we have learned during the past month's lunar cycle now become the essence and seeds for the future.

These seeds are planted now in anticipation of the new moon.

A time of retreat and retrospection as we empty out, turn away and release the past and face forward with energy refocused on future potential.

Surrender all fears to the past and play with the potentials of the future as you prepare for a new lunar cycle.

Take time to relax, imagine and dream.
