The Balsamic Moon is the last lunar phase and 45 degrees before the new moon. Balsamic comes from the Greek bálsamon, meaning 'balm like' in the sense of 'restorative' or 'healing'. This type of personality is visionary, but has one foot in the old world and the other in the new. Today we are using the chart of Dane Rudyar, the pioneering astrologer and father of humanistic astrology, whose work inspires many modern astrologers, including the Lunation type personality, which is indeed his research.
