This is the last full moon of summer, and a time when we can remember and connect with our hopes, dreams, and imagination. What were you wishing for as we approached the spring equinox in March? What ideas were you excited about? What have your recent dreams been showing you? Now as we approach the fall equinox, we can use the energy of this moon to bring us back to the dreamworld and allow the imagination to give us hope and possibility. Bill Plotkin writes:
"...deep imagination is an indispensable faculty for discovering the truth about everyday life, no less essential than sensing, thinking, and feeling. Our deep imagination not only shows us what might be but also illuminates what already is... [It is] the essential resource for all genuine human creativity."
The moon in Pisces represents our dreams and imagination, and the sun in Virgo is the light that allows us to create the container for those dreams on the physical plane.
And if you're not feeling quite magical, if things feel hazy or emotional, it's okay to let yourself be in that space. Pisces carries all of the energy of the entire zodiac. Likewise, we can hold and love all parts of our multifaceted selves without dismissing the emotions that feel uncomfortable. Those emotions may be important teachers. Breathe deep, let the heart soften and nurture the dreams and desires that the mind can't always comprehend.
