Lunar musings just posted! August: "marked by majestic dignity and grandeur." Certainly feels right with this new moon! Wishing you all golden warmth, earthy abundance, and radiant joy!

By Amber R. Balk, Ph.D. August. It’s the last full month of summer. The sun has noticeably passed its peak. The plants can tell and start to make their turning. Early August in the northern h…

In the presence of these grand, wild, ancient beings, the frivolous cares and concerns of humanity slip away. These trees-- these old, wise ones-- are the Bearers of Peace. It took courage and tenacity to even reach them, despite our modern technology; a holy & sacred pilgrimage. Photos cannot capture their majesty. But I can tell you that their effect is both calming and humbling, grounding and buzzingly mind-blowing. Grown adults become giddy and grinning. Folks cluster in awe and reverence. Some whisper while others forget themselves and loudly exclaim with excitement. The air is thin & dusty at 7,000 feet above sea level. The hills are steep. The roots are shallow and wide. You can hear the breeze. The bark is warm and fuzzy. It sticks to your shirt. It pokes your skin. Panoramic vertical is necessary but entirely insufficient. The weather changes rapidly. And you leave feeling satisfied but wanting more. *sigh*

Happy full moon! This post is short & sweet, briefly touching on our currently activated energies! Leo Sun, Aquarius Moon, Mars & Venus, Jupiter, and more!
✨🙏🏽🌕❤️

By Amber R. Balk, Ph.D. Leo Sun opposes Aquarius Moon at 7:37 PM Pacific. This polarity point highlights the tension between “I AM” (Leo the roaring lion) and “We Should” (f…

More on 2021's Saturn square Uranus transit, especially considering activating Mars thrown into the mix as it currently opposes Saturn and squares Uranus.

"Despite the gravity and intensity of collective unfoldings, I find it fascinating and enlivening to view these events with an archetypal perspective. It doesn’t take away the pain, anger, indignation, or tears. However, it does provide a feeling that something big, significant, and major is happening here on Earth. It happens in and through our lives. It happens both within and beyond us. Through our struggles and triumphs, our joys and sorrows, an archetypal magic unfolds. There is immense Beauty in that realization. It is like a salve for the weary soul.

Wishing you all (and myself) deep self-care, insightful catharsis, and loving connection with others, our planet, and the cosmos."

Here are my musings on the latest Gemini New Moon Solar Eclipse! A little late due to travel (first trip since 2019!!), but better late than never. Anyways, the energies are active for awhile; it isn't just one isolated moment and then it all disappears. I hope these contemplations bring some interesting food for thought!
♊✨☀️🌍🌑✨♊

By Amber R Balk, Ph.D. I’m writing this the day after our recent Gemini New Moon, which was also an annular solar eclipse. Both new moons and eclipses are liminal moments between the closing …

New lunar reflections up at transpersonalsessions.com! This one focuses on tonight's total lunar eclipse (begins around 1:50 AM Pacific and goes until about 6:50 AM Pacific), which is lighting up the Gemini (Sun)/Sagittarius (Moon) polarity. Eclipses are amazing to watch and pretty interesting to contemplate astrologically. Wishing y'all potent insights and powerful endings/beginnings.
✨🌕🌘🌑🌒🌕✨

by Amber R. Balk, Ph.D. Late tonight you might be able to catch a total lunar eclipse! This eclipse occurs at 4:14 AM Pacific, but the entire process will take from around 1:50 AM Pacific until 6:5…

"Maybe we can sing these songs and tap into a Neptunian ideal that will transport us into a world where love rules, even if just for a moment.

And maybe that love can somehow help heal our war-torn, conflict-ridden, ruthless human world.

Maybe if we generate love it can somehow transmit to those who are afraid and suffering.

I don’t know what else to do but sing. And hope."

Excerpt from today's new moon musings, from my heart to yours.

by Amber R. Balk, Ph.D. Today’s New Moon occurred at 21 degrees of Ta**us. I had hoped that this New Moon would bring the pleasures of Venus-ruled Ta**us– hedonistic indulgences, creatu…

Meditating on today's Scorpio Full Moon brought images of illuminated cave depths, underwater cave exploration, and the rush of recently liberated rivers released from winter's frozen clutch. More @ transpersonalsessions.com.

by Amber R. Balk, Ph.D. The initiating firestorm of the Aries New Moon can now shift into solid resolve and earthy follow-through. Yet, this full moon is a supermoon– one that is closer to th…

I wrote a fluff piece for the recent Aries New Moon. Here's what is really in my heart and on my mind-- I'M ON FIRE.

I wrote a fluff piece about an Aries warrior stellium of Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Chiron with Venus squaring Pluto and Mars squaring Neptune. I knew this could be a set up for revolt, conflic…
