Today’s energy is soft, dissolving, airy, and deeply reflective.
The Balsamic Moon is the last breath before the cosmic reset, a time to empty out, release, surrender, and make peace with everything this lunar cycle stirred within you.
Think of this day as a quiet clearing before the New Moon portal opens.
Go gently. Move slowly. Whisper your intentions instead of forcing them.
The veil lifts inward again.
Scorpio brings depth, intuition, shadow, and truth.
This is prime emotional alchemy energy, the kind that reveals what is real and strips away what is not.
It is an ideal time for:
If anything has been lingering, a feeling, a fear, a memory, a frustration, Scorpio will show you where it sits in your body… and how to gently unhook it.
Ah, the fresh spark.
The cosmic matchstick.
The “wake up, Witch, the journey awaits” moment.
Sagittarius brings optimism, clarity, direction and fire.
Where Scorpio excavates, Sagittarius inspires.
If last cycle felt heavy or emotional, this New Moon is a clean, hopeful reset.
Once the new seeds are planted, Capricorn takes over:
Structure. Focus. Grounding. Commitment.
Capricorn doesn’t demand perfection, only presence, patience, and steady progress.
A balm for mind, body, and spirit.
This long exhale directly activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping release stress and emotional tension.
A simple ritual to release what the old cycle stirred, making space for new beginnings.
Perfect for tonight, tomorrow, or all the way through Wednesday.
This is especially powerful under the Balsamic Moon.
5 minutes body – light stretching, neck rolls, or laying on the floor.
5 minutes environment – tidy one small area.
5 minutes spirit – breathe, meditate, pull a card, whisper a gratitude.
It resets your energy without overwhelming your system, ideal for neurodivergent rhythms and busy households.
If you’ve felt unusually reflective, slow, sensitive, unsettled, or as though life is moving through a thick fog, there’s a reason. We are currently in a cluster of retrogrades, six bodies moving “backwards” from our viewpoint on Earth. Retrogrades aren’t something to fear. They are tides pulling inward, drawing us into deeper wisdom, healing, and re-evaluation.
Here is a simple breakdown of what’s active:
This many retrogrades at once can feel like a cosmic “slow down”, but it’s also a doorway, a collective invitation to reset, re-evaluate, and realign.
1. Expect inner work to feel louder than outer work.
These energies pull your focus into healing, boundary-setting, belief patterns, and emotional honesty.
2. Clarity comes more through intuition than logic.
Neptune and Chiron encourage spiritual clarity, not mental clarity. Trust what you feel.
3. Old wounds, habits, and relationships may resurface.
This is healing rising for completion, not punishment.
4. You may feel tired, overstimulated, or easily overwhelmed.
Retrogrades slow our physical, mental, and emotional pace. This is normal.
Use this as a grounding guide for the next few weeks.
Reduce pressure, simplify tasks, and create breathing space in your schedule. Your nervous system will thank you.
Five minutes of barefoot grounding, a grounding stone such as hematite or smoky quartz beside your bed, or a simple breath practice such as:
Inhale for four, hold for two, exhale for six.
This resets the vagus nerve and calms overwhelm.
With Mercury retrograde active, double-check messages, pause before responding, and speak slowly and clearly. Misunderstandings are common, patience helps.
Saturn invites you to look at what drains you.
Say no. Step back. Reclaim your time.
Neptune and Chiron awaken psychic sensitivity.
Try:
Retrogrades gather emotional “dust”. Clear your energy with incense, a cleansing spray, salt bath, or sound cleansing. A simple sound sweep with a singing bowl works beautifully.
With Mercury + Uranus retrogrades, expect delays and changes. Leave room for flow, everything will realign naturally.
Though intense, this cluster of retrogrades is creating the perfect container for:
You’re being rerouted, refined, and re-centred.
A brand-new offering, already booking beautifully.
