Gibbous — Refining the Process

We refine our information. We pick and choose, discriminate, and organize. This is the phase where we become a bit “Virgo-like.” We sort through details and ask whether something has been overlooked. Adjustments are made. Plans are refined. The goal is not to abandon the seed but to improve how it is unfolding.

Hero’s Journey: Training and preparation before the major test.
Creative/Science Process: Editing and refinement.

 

Focus on:  How are you refining your faith?  How are you refining things that can’t be defined?   How are you refining your intuition?  How is this impact by partnerships? What is that voice inside you that knows stuff, how do you get it clearer? 

 

Planetary Notes:

Your Treasure Map. Time to Look At Your It.

 

We are at Libra New Moon and It's time to pull out those Treasure Maps we made back in April! Libra New Moon is our reminder to check in.

Take a good look at your map. What's happened in the last six months? Anything come to fruition? Anything starting to show signs of life? Maybe a few things have taken a turn you didn't expect. And maybe some parts of your map haven't budged an inch. That's okay. We're only halfway through this journey. There's another six months ahead of us, and you never know what might be getting ready to move.

Dust off those maps, spend a little time with them, and see what you notice. And if you feel like sharing, I'd love to hear what's been happening!

Libra New Moon! The 29 Day Cycle Has Launched

 

Did you feel the shift yesterday October 10?    The Libra New Moon rolled through at 8:50am PDT.  

I gotta say I was doing Virgo-eon stuff to the bitter end.   I mean cleaning out nonsense on my phone a half hour before New moon.    I mean, come on…that is so Virgo. 

Anyway, now I have put down my to-do list and am looking at partnerships and relationships and listening.   There is an openness that can come with the second air sign.    Even if there is a lot of thrills and spills this month, due to Venus and her retrogradeness.  We still can find kindness and believe or not, balance.

Balsamic Moon October 6 - 10

 

Balsamic Moon Phase

 

October 6, 2026 

5:44am (PDT) 

 

Balsamic — Release

This phase closes the lunar cycle. We release what has run its course so the next cycle can begin. By letting go we clear space for the next New Moon. Reflection, rest, and closure allow the mind and spirit to reset before the next intention emerges.

Hero’s Journey: The return and completion of the journey.
Creative/Science Process: Rest and incubation before the next idea.

 

Focus on:  How are releasing your bigness?  How are you releasing ego?  How are you releasing the need to be the center of everything?  

 

Planetary Notes:

Oct. 7: Mars sextile Uranus (5 GE 24).  Creativity is high, actions based on fun, new info is dynamic and fresh.  Go for it.  

 

New Moon (Libra) October 10, 8:50am 

 

 

 

Last Quarter Moon - October 3, 6:25am (PDT)

 

Last Quarter Moon Phase

October 3, 2026

6:25Am (PDT)  

 

Last Quarter — Practical Adjustments

Now we make the final adjustments to the seeds planted at the New Moon. We make the final call, send the final letters, and follow the trails that still make sense. Other paths are allowed to fall away. This phase favors wise action and thoughtful decision-making.

It is a time for living the spirit of the Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Hero’s Journey: Rebuilding life after the transformation.
Creative/Science Process: Critique and evaluation.

 

 

Focus on:

What actions are you taking that tap your family?  How do your emotions compel you to take actions?  What details did you learn at the new moon and how does it tap your childhood?   

 

Planetary Notes: 

Oct 4 Mercury enters shadow (5 SC 02)

Oct 4 Sun oppose Saturn (11 AR 18)  Partnership versus Singular action.   Authenticity versus relationships.   How to find the space in between is the rub.

Oct 6: Mercury conjunction Venus (8 SC 13) Depth of values is understood by the brain in a new way.  Psyche and intellect get it. Love and communication is deep.
