Once a dreamer, always a dreamer...

Hi Friends,

When I was a little girl, and I mean LITTLE, like as far back as I can remember - I've always had dreams. In fact, sometimes I questioned whether or not they were real. And to this day, I still dream and STILL question if they are real.

One of my more vivid dreams as a child was a recurring dream about wolves with red eyes. I would look out my bedroom window and see red eyes in the trees, on the ground, in the road, everywhere. I would have this dream at least once a week forever it seemed. I didn't dare stay out after dark because I knew the wolves were there--just watching, waiting and staring.

Of course, there's always safety in numbers, so me and my sibs, (there were 3 of us), would ride bikes every night until dark, then we had to come in. We knew the rule: when you're done riding, put your bike back in the shed. Big trouble if we forgot. I never forgot...

Until, one night, I forgot... and it was dark. Dad told me I still had to put my bike away and I was terrified. I just knew those wolves were out there waiting. I tried bribing my sis and my bro to do it. I offered them candy I had hidden in my top dresser drawer, but nope--no takers. So, out I went. In the dark, all alone, just me and the wolves. I've never hustled so fast to put that bike away, absolutely terrified out of my mind, looking in the trees, the bushes, the road for those red eyes. I frantically made it back to the house, have no idea how, but I made it back alive.

I was completely terrified to go to sleep that night. I just didn't want to have the dream again, ESPECIALLY since I had forgotten to put my bike away. I just had a feeling the wolves would be back haunting me in my sleep. Exhaustion kicked in and I finally drifted off to sleep. To my surprise, I never had the wolf dream again after that fated night. Isn't life funny that way? It literally took me facing my fears to make it go away. Who knew that's all I had to do?!

I share this story, because Neptune is the planet of DREAMS, and my Neptune happens to square my 8th house of TRANSFORMATION, better known as the underworld. The underworld is familiar to me. I've spent plenty of time there learning life and death lessons. Pluto, who rules the 8th house also sits at the exact same degree as my core wound YEEHAW. So, I've learned MULTIPLE lessons in transforming my core wound throughout my life.

THIS Sunday, the ♊New Moon in Gemini will grace the skies and start a whole new moon cycle of rebirthing our mind, and our communication style. I feel BEYOND blessed for the life lessons I've learned, and the classes I've taken to understand a bit more clearly as to HOW the planets talk to one another to make us WHO we are and WHY we are who we are when we're born. Astrology has helped me understand myself so much more clearly than any counseling I've been in (and that's quite a bit, trust me). So, if you're wanting to dip your toes in the water a bit more--join me Sunday at 7 pm (mst) for a FREE reading. You can choose between 3 offerings: an astrology dice roll, a quick astrology read (if you have your birth time) or an oracle card pull.
