Astrology info to consider:
Neptune/Venus brings a deep dive in the sea of love, unity vibration all up in your senses. Can be very disorienting if you need to be in control. Don’t believe everything you sense. Have a theory about it and allow the mystery to unfold. Even the best sailor doesn’t control the sea.
Menstruation cycle and Moon:
What phase of your inner Moon cycle are you in? What hormones are most prominent? How does this relate with outer Moon? Remember, they do not need to match or get along. Read more about the correspondences here.
Dreams:
Yesterday we built a dream altar. Did you receive any dream fragments, images, or memories from your dreams? Write them in your dream journal without censorship. The more you correspond with dreams, the more clarity you will receive them with. If you received any dreams, find one thing to place on your altar to honor the dream. This can be something that represents the dream symbol or something that will trigger a remembrance during waking life. We want to integrate dreams into daytime reality for cohesion of bodymind and soul. Watch this video about dreaming.
