I spent a great deal of my youth in some otherworldly place, lost in daydreams. Most of my youth was Piscean in flavour. On my first birthday, my progressed Sun, lolled over into Pisces, where it hung around for the next thirty years before it and Mars moved into Aries. Other influences of a nurture kind encouraged me to disappear into day dreams. I understand the escapist mentality well. This part of my brain is fairly well traversed.
My very favourite thing to do as 3-7 year old was to follow around my father, literally, in his footsteps. This was not because I was thinking so much of him, I hadn't even begun to, but because when I did this I didn't have to actually think; I could just follow safe in my own world guaranteed of protection. It was pretty good really.
This latest wave of all things watery & Piscean/Neptunian, has
reactivated in me big time, a strong pull towards spending many an hour lost in
beautiful imagination and it feels a bit scary because I have had to have my feet
very firmly planted on mother earth for a very long time. This feeling I am being pulled off
the ground by something wafty and weavy, floaty and dreamy tends to make
me think I am or could be, being also pulled into, or further into a state of deep
slumber.
I think Pluto squaring off on my Sun Mars, Saturn Mercury etcetera, (sometime in the early-mid nineties if my current day dreamy reflections serve me well), turned me into something more of a realist and brought me back to earth.
Up until today I have been studiously avoiding my progressed
chart. Because I knew that Saturn had moved on into Pisces, and I wanted nothing at all to do with another Neptune conj Saturn scenario, having done it (alright) already most recently in my natal chart.
But now I see it as a good thing. (oh mercy lordy tanks Be!) There is
lots of activity there. Progressed charts are interesting.
Progressed Mars looks er... interesting. Mercury in Taurus. Looks like Neptune is going to be uppermost, constant companion.
Soberingly, Saturn at 1 degrees of Pisces, something
I'm eternally grateful for, or will be. Lest I be sucked a million
miles away and whilst I'm incarnate--organic, I think it best to be
paying a certain amount of attention to life on Earth.
