Mercury is slowing down, turning around like a big ship in the sea. Energy is building, like a rocket getting ready for lift off. In this time of "just before something happens" I think about how this month is full of transits that suggest we are positioning ourselves (or not) for the change that keeps licking at us like flames in a fire. In the next month, and through the summer, change is coming. Little bits for now... the transits that are happening in the next few days are useful enough to focus on now.
Following Mercury's return to apparant forward motion, we enter the Balsamic Moon phase. This is when the Moon does not appear in the sky, preceding the New Moon phase.
In the Balsamic Moon phase, things fall apart (think small-scale, this transit happens every month). The opportunity in the next few days is to actively get rid of things you no longer need/want to play such a large role in your life. Every garden needs weeding after flowers fade and greenery returns to the ground as decay.
The New Moon, May 13th here in the Pacific Northwest, begins like the Balsamic Moon ends, dark as pitch. Even though the energy moves us forward, we cannot see our path. We have our plan in place, we are moving in the right direction - and the potential for stumbling remains. Slight changes to the plan may be necessary at the beginning of the process, are to be expected, even. This month's New Moon in Taurus is an opportunity for us to embrace the change that is best for us, that fits us best, underscoring stability as we move into the a summer of change.
