Release illusions to activate the essential dream!

Hello friends,

I’m writing to you about the Lunar eclipse event coming up on Sept 7, 2025, in Pisces. The places to view the eclipse are Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, not North or South Americas. Here’s the eclipse path from spaceandtelescope.com.

This eclipse is tied to the solar eclipse on Sept 21, also in Virgo/Pisces axis, but this time in Virgo at 29 degrees. The real theme that will come forward here is linked to the February Saturn/Neptune exact conjunction: February 20, 2026, at ‘0 Degree’ Aries. I’ve spoken about that in a previous post. Here are the dot points on the Saturn/Neptune conjunction:

  • Dream vs. Reality
  • Making dreams into Reality
  • Feeling forced to give up dreams by Saturn limitations
  • Uncertainty about what is fantasy and what is real
  • Saturnian discipline helping to parse out and work out Neptunian dreams and ideals: Vision to Form
  • Daydreams and escapes of fantasy— and Saturnian consequences!
  • New forms of artistic inspiration (Neptune) with different forms (Saturn)
  • Saturn/Neptune conjunct is asking: “What really is possible here?”

Here’s that chart for the Sept 21 eclipse that I’ll talk about more in a post that is closer to the date:

The reason why I think these eclipses, and especially this Sept 7 eclipse in Pisces, are linked to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction is because:

  1. This eclipse is immediately followed by the Aquarius eclipse in Februrary 2026signaling the beginning of the end of the Virgo/Pisces series (It’s not the last one, but it’s the beginning of the new series, marked by Aquarius/Leo).
  2. This Sept 7 Lunar eclipse comes right on the heels of Saturn’s retrograde back into Pisces for a final pass (Sept 1.). Saturn originally entered Pisces on March 7, 2023 and transiting into Aries on May 24, 2025: leading to an ALMOST conjunction with Neptune. But since it retrograded back, it’s also not going to be re-entering Aries until February 13, 2026— just days before the great Neptune/Saturn exact conjunction. An exact conjunction means that the energies are potent and have matured!
  3. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction will happen in February while Neptune (the Modern Ruler or Pisces) is still its retrograde zone, after just have spending time in its original home: Pisces.
  4. Saturn in Pisces is going to be closely opposing the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on Sept 21, 2025 at the anaretic degree of Virgo 29. This is a very potent point. Saturn will be at 28 degree Pisces which is a pretty close/tight orb. Anything below 3 degrees has the strongest potency. The tighter the orb, the stronger the impact.

So, overall, there’s this very interesting story going on in the sky to help you to release illusions and sort out what is real. It might not be very easy (it might FEEL impossible), but it will be worth it. With Saturn’s influence, not much is easy; there’s often restrictions and redirection. You really tend to utilize your blood, sweat, and tears, when moving through life during intense Saturn transits.

So what is an essential dream? Why is that a part of your title?

The word essence means (https://etymologyworld.com/item/essence):

  • The fundamental nature or core characteristics of something
  • The concentrated or pure form of something

Etymologically it comes from “esse” the latin meaning “to be.” Inside of us is all of creation, the potential to make or create anything in our experience. That potential extends from our essence.

No matter what is going on in the world right now (and I know, it’s grim: war, politics at their worst, and the divisions and misinformation is up more than we would like), we still have a certain amount of time to enjoy whatever freedoms we have. It’s our freedom to create, to bond with one another, and to learn from our experiences and also to tie these experiences to the “bigger picture.” Neptune and Pisces are very spiritual. This symbolism is rich (and for some of us, it is more than symbolism) but for you, take it at whatever level is one that ‘works’ for you.

Notice we are each the architect of our own dreams. Every dream is unique. Some dreams reflect unfulfilled desires, repressed impulses, and incomplete experiences, or serve as a substitute for and pointer toward realities beyond them. The symbols we project in waking life are part of the story we weave for ourselves. Symbols we project into our experience are like ghosts. They offer insights into the true self by revealing our conditioned beliefs, how connected or disconnected we are to our heart and the Earth. We each have the power to rescript our symbols, shift energy we receive, decode and transmit to transform from the core.” —Liara Covert

I don’t know if I tied this message together well enough for you all. But, if you are feeling shaky and disconnected at times and other times *very* connected and then doubting that, it’s all normal. What you are experiencing is really in the stars. Each and every single person is going to experience it differently– some will think life is “just the same.” Our perception is really what matters, but I want to encourage you to connect yourself with a greater vision, magick and dream, one that really fills and fuels your soul. It’s here, and its available: AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can reduce the essence or make smaller the importance of your dream. So I ask you now: What can you let go of? What is standing in your way of realizing your own potential, right now? Virgo is all about the details. Those details are going to be completely unique to each one of you, but Virgo carefully crafts. Your craft in life is definitely tied to your essence. Like a kite in the sky, your kite is your craft (how it flies) but the essence of your kite is the WAY it connects with the unique weather pattern at any given moment. How will you build, fix, and fashion your kite?

Love you all, so much! Use the comments to reflect on anything I’ve written here.

With gratitude,

Ka

A reading for you: Creation

As we move towards the Full Moon in Aries coming up this September 29, depending on where you are, I asked Spirit to give me a reading for my blog readers. That reading was completed with the one card, above. Creation.

The card comes from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle, by Tori Hartman

This card is all about the artistic shaman. It leaped from the deck that I shuffled in preparation for this reading. The energy with this one is strong! This card is all about opening to magic and hitching to one’s inner muse.

The following is the meditation from the guidebook:

“Open the notebook to a clean page. Close your eyes and image She Shaman standing in the mist, holding out her hand. Follow her into the mist. As you walk she motions to sit. Ask for her guidance. Pick up your notebook and write. Simply write whatever comes. Do not censor or judge the words. They may mean nothing right now, but they will. Thank She Shaman for her visit.”

What have you always wanted to do but always stopped in your tracks? No matter what it is, you have to ask yourself: which is stronger fear or curiosity? This time is all about breaking lose of the confines of the known and starting off as a newbie–without anyone’s permission! Aries is a seed of fire that when planted and fueled with your intention, will bind to matter and create a new thread of connection, which will branch off into a number of unseen ways. The full moon is a cumulation, but my intuition has it that the energy has been growing inside you for some time; and at the full moon, it is ready to be released into a new beginning. A burst of light. Take 5 deep breaths and then make your move!

Cancer New Moon, July 1 2011, Partial Solar Eclipse — Fiesta Estrellas

This reblog is one of my favorites.

I remember writing this post, and it really was a collection of information and knowledge I gained through many years of experience. The one thing that stood out to me when re-reading, was thinking about how the signs of both Pisces and Cancer deal with the subconscious. Pisces because of its relationship to the 12th house of the unconscious (and its nature as a water sign) and Cancer because of its inherent relationship with the moon (and it’s a water sign). Scorpio also shares that water relationship. When you differentiate the water signs you want to look to its modality: Fixed, Cardinal, or Mutable. Cancer is a cardinal sign, the sign that this reblog is focused on (along with its opposite Capricorn). The opposite signs share the same modality–which is the hidden harmony in opposition. Astrology has many harmonies built-in, if you look for them.

Cancer has “direction.” The energy is focus and directed: it’s creative, which is why is related to the Mother-mothering principle.

After I published this post. I thought: hmm… why am I interested in this post as my reblog? How did it come up in my awareness? So I look at the transits for today. The moon is exactly opposite my natal moon (in Cancer) @ 12 degrees. So that’s how astrology works… it’s beautiful, and poetic–and you don’t even have to PAY ATTENTION to it or “FOLLOW IT’, for it to work; its just silently in the background, describing what is already happening.
