Let Your Dreams Be Your Compass {The Moon and Venus in Pisces}

This week may begin on a dreamy note.

With the Moon in Pisces all of Monday, our natural inclination may be to surrender to those currents of consciousness that have us streaming in thoughts, feelings, and inspiration. The “irrational” may feel more “rational” while the imaginative feels like a greater comfort zone than the realistic.

With the Moon uniting with all-is-one Neptune on Monday, we could feel diffuse and scattered if we’re not anchored in a tide from which we want to navigate. Choose love, empathy, artistry, compassion…focus in on these realms and have faith that they will serve as a compass.

Monday is also the last full day of Venus being in Pisces, and with that our desire to live in the realms of poetry and artistry, the sublime and subtle, may be strong.

Consider your dreams: what are your visions, what are your wishes, what does your imagination create for your life when given free reign?

In doing so consider your nighttime dreams and daydreams: What themes have been stirring in your nightscape? What are they sharing? What are they showing? What inspirations are being discovered and recovered? What fears and inhibitions uncovered?

Even if you don’t currently have a regular dreamwork practice, flow with the Piscean realms of consciousness, and open up to your dreams Sunday and Monday night. Be intentional before going to sleep, asking your psyche to bring forth the riches that reside within you. Have a journal or a tape recorder (your phone may have one) handy so you can capture your dreams in the morning. Be with them over your morning cup of coffee or tea, let them steep through you, and see what they evoke for you, what gifts of illumination they yield.

For those of you who are interested dreamwork and astrology, I thought it would be a great time to tell you about the upcoming project I am doing with Jungian analyst and astrologer Sherene Vismaya Schostak.

Called Dream Life, it’s a 40-day individual and collective journey that begins on May 9. As we led a 40 Days of Dreams last year and it was quite transformative for those who participated, we are really excited to do it again, doing so in an even deeper and richer way. We’re putting together the details now and will be sharing them on April 8. 

Send me a note and I’ll make sure you get all the details sent to you. I hope you’ll join us in this illuminating journey.
