Balsamic Moon phase - The Balsamic Moon is the COMPOST phase, when the nutrients remain in the soil, providing nourishment for the next new seed. The Balsamic Moon (or waning crescent moon) rises before dawn and sets midafternoon. She is last sliver of Moon seen in the eastern sky in the dawn and in the very early morning. This is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Keywords for the Balsamic phase are: transition, release, transformation, renewal and purity. It is the phase in a cycle when you must let go of everything you have been working on that does not deal with the current cycle issues. During this phase you reflect on the passing cycle and prepare for the new. Trust in renewal. It is important to separate from others now so that you can clear the intellect of negativity. LET GO. Become still ad meditate. For those born in a Balsamic Moon phase  - they possess the potential to be wise, insightful, understanding and patient. They are prophetic and unique.

Moon in Cancer - The Moon in Cancer deepens our feelings; our moods are stormy and vast, our hunger and desire to feed others sharpens. We protect our own, nest in our cave, need to know we're safe. Hunger grows but for more than food. With Moon in Cancer our feelings take the lead. Cancer encourages the wisdom rising out of our oceanic unconscious through moods and feelings. Ground in the magick of your home as a temple. Ask what needs protecting and feeding. Moon in Cancer is the best time to work magick for home and domestic life. Healing rituals for ailments of the chest or stomach are also done during this period of time.  For those born under a Cancer Moon sign - they are wonderfully nurturing to our culture, body, and soul when we feel safe. Early mother/home issues can be composted into empathic understanding.

There are still strong Moon in Gemini energies most of the day for aiding you in your communication and connection skill on this Woden Day.
