 Astro-Kinetic Reflection 

Temporally Conditioned Reverberative Thoughts 

Resulting from Astro-Kinetic Contemplation 




The Sun has entered Pisces and joined Jupiter. The configuration brings to mind a powerful intuition that is brought to consciousness and then applied actively in the world. The focus today will be intuitive dreams that lead to illumine roles of spiritual leadership. The role of dreams is often set aside by today’s Christian intellectual, who would prefer the Sun to remain in Aquarius, offering bright shining conscious intellect pouring down upon us. But dreams too are an integral aspect of humanity.


Two saints we celebrate today offer examples of dreams leading to leadership. The first is Saint Eucherius of Orleans.  His pregnant mother had a dream of an angel who told her that her unborn son would be a holy bishop, and blessed them both. Eucherius was a stalwart evangelizer and often exiled during his life due to his strong sense of mission. 




The second is Saint Leo of Catania in this case an angel appeared in dreams to the people in Catania to point them to Leo as their bishop. Leo opposed the iconoclasm. The governor of Sicily ordered his arrest for this stance, and the bishop spent time in the mountains in exile. In both cases those whose authority were validated by the dream world were rejected by the established power. 



The life of the dreamer in the waking world often leads to misunderstandings, rejection, and loneliness. During this season of Pisces, the Sun will journey with Jupiter. After being touched by the Moon (March 2), Mercury will enter the sign and offer a powerful reminder of how our dreams communicate valuable knowledge. Can we bridge the two worlds? Can we trust our dreams even in the most important matters of leadership? The dream world is tricky and illusory, but this season reminds us that effective commerce between the two worlds bears great fruit.
