I was looking for more info on the Balsamic moon and started thinking about where it would be in a solar return chart and how that would affect the upcoming year. (yeah, I know, I think too much sometimes..lol).

For this solar return for me, my Sun is at 9 degrees Pisces and the Moon was not quite a New Moon at 8 Pisces 57. Would that still be considered balsamic?

From what I have read, the Balsamic phase is about getting rid of everything that doesn't serve you in preperation for the New. I would say that is probably the MAJOR theme for this year for me. I just thought it was interesting.
