The Dreamer of Realities

Aries Sun and Pisces Moon

This is the combination of a close confidante of mine whose on and off friendship with me has spanned many years. There’s been a continuous understanding of each other’s darker aspects which has allowed both of us to just be in one another’s presence. This is a Dark Moon configuration for the Pisces Moon is waning towards its restart in Aries, but what profound insight and gentle pervasiveness the Pisces Moon provides the blunt, brash, quite masculine Aries personality, whether the person is male or female. The Sun in Aries delights in being seen, heard, and listened to, but the Pisces Moon provides a different dynamic, a love of blending, long nights of listening, and transportation of mind and thought. This person is exceedingly romantic and a fantastic day-dreamer. She or he deeply enjoys art as well as any kind of communicative act for the Pisces Moon longs for this cathartic, almost bodiliess kind of blending. The Aries Sun in itself adores the idea of the romantic threshold, the hero and the princess, the victim and the predator; there’s a dance of opposites over the vast, almost unknowable realm of the Pisces Moon. This person has a varied, exciting life. He or she lives for thrill and experience. There’s an otherworldliness about experiences, too, for they just seem to come upon one—the Pisces Moon could even be said to draw the person into atmospheres that the consciousness would not have chosen. Like a wise grandmother the Pisces Moon unconsciously undercuts the consciousness of the Aries Sun. Ultimately it is that Pisces Moon that one feels the most strongly in this person—though the Aries Sun can cover everything that is deep and intrinsic up with a perfect sheen of bravado. Their own knowingness and even sense of self seems to just wilt before the unknowable and even antisocial range of their hearts, the entire sea of the unconscious which the last sign of the zodiac blithely rules. The person’s own deep feeling can feel like a rabbit hole over which the Aries Sun looks with a mixture of entitlement and a great fear of isolation, as if they shall never find themselves again down there. Living at the tell-end and the fresh beginning of the zodiac paints a picture of extreme temperature in this person, deserts so hot as to produce mirages, mountaintops so high as to make the head swim. The person delights in out of body experiences that come thrashing down again to fully inform the self. He or she would have been a fantastic knight or perhaps the very sign and aspect of Don Quixote himself. There’s a devotedness to one’s own life purpose that sometimes belies a deep incisive doubt as to what one should be doing—for the consciousness is actually exceedingly young, almost undeveloped and cast at a young age out on the vastest ocean where there are no islands in sight—the Moon in Pisces. It’s very hard to get a grip on such fierce and boundless feeling, on dreams which really have nothing to do with who you are, what your body is like, or what you’re bound in. This person can enter other states of being and shift amorphous into different characters, mindsets and realities, only to come thudding back to the hard reality of themselves. Or do they? This person’s actions must speak louder than their words as he or she struggles with clarity and clear consciousness. It is hard for this type to see themselves truly—and who they are can come as a surprise. But they understand universal empathy and trauma as it appears in others, and even themselves as a dark sea always surrounding one, even in the light, the found moments. The Pisces Dark Moon is an especially potent Moon, at times a dangerous one, eroding what it means to be. This person can be a conduit for other people’s emotions and even other people’s dreams and realities. In themselves they experience much dissolution, loss, and a beautiful feeling of becoming ultimately what they imagined. Though the route will not be what they thought. Still, what the Aries Sun and Pisces Moon dreams often comes true.
