Waking from a Dream

We could feel we’re waking from a dream as Mercury, the planet of communication, moves further away from illusory Neptune. Perceptions over the past two months may have ranged from the mystical – heightened imagination, intuition or prophetic dreams, to the distorted – muddled and confused or brain fog. Our minds become clearer this week as Mercury leaves its retrograde shadow on Tuesday and moves out of Pisces and into Aries on Wednesday.

A grand trine in fire Sunday helped to burn off some of the fog and builds energy and forward momentum! Today, Venus in Pisces squares with expansive Jupiter in Sagittarius. Bring on the good times! There’s potential for overindulgence in Venusian pleasures, however – excess spending, overeating, drinking too much, and misguided romance. Have fun but don’t overdo it!

Moon is in Virgo (Monday 7:14am until Wednesday 8:22am AST) in waxing gibbous phase, enabling us to adjust, refine and bring order back into our lives. As we become aware of any misconceptions or illusions we may have been under during the course of the past eight weeks, we can use the next couple of days to get practical, change direction where necessary, attend to details we’d put on the back burner, and make new plans. Now is an ideal time for a refresh of healthy habits – hydration and good nutrition are particularly beneficial during this phase.
