(Friday, January 30, 2015) Waxing gibbous moon in Gemini / Tarot: Spiderwoman (Wheel of Fortune)
Wedding Cake Spire: I am looking at a wedding cake that is shaped like a church spire: tall, narrow and pointed at the top. The interior is made of cubes of white cake and the exterior is iced with lavender-colored frosting.
Heart-Shaped Portraits: I am looking at my beloved in profile. He is turned to the right: just his head, neck and shoulders are within view. I see both a historic painting in oil and his physical presence, overlaying each other and flipping back and forth. He has long, wavy golden hair in the style of a medieval, northern European man. Germanic. His eyes are blue and his nose is strong but straight. His mouth is sensitive. I feel I have seen this beautiful face, this artwork, before. Suddenly my own portrait begins to materialize opposite his. We are exact twins. The outline, the shape, of our two facing portraits is heart-like.
Day notes:
Well. Dreams of what Hamilton calls coniunctio and Jung calls the union of opposites. The royal, alchemical marriage. Sol and Luna, spirit and soul.
In addition to the spiritual meaning, I think Sabine would also say this is a past life dream. The portrait aspect is something she considers a sign of past life memory.
Hamilton says purple is a sacred color, related to the fifth and sixth planes of consciousness. Other sources say purple is the color of dreams and prophecy, royalty, meditation, astral projection and the third eye. In Thailand, purple is the color worn by widows. Purple is the month of February. Meanings for the lavender flower align with healing and love.
Interesting that the moon is in Gemini, the sign of the Twins.
