(Tuesday, December 28, 2021) waning crescent moon Libra, Magician tarot
My father has purchased a new manor house. The lodging has two wings, angled in a wide V at 150 and 30 degrees. It is equally tall, at least four stories in height.
I explore the new interior, beginning at the upper floor where my bedroom is located. Every room is comfortably decorated and clean. The furniture and details are luxurious, but not absurdly royal. Wardrobe cabinets are open and empty, waiting for our family to add our belongings. All of the sleeping rooms have bathrooms inside, as do modern-day master bedrooms.
My caregiver task is to review Chris’ bedroom and make sure it is ready for his move. Our relationship is more like that of siblings than lovers. Surprisingly, he has two bedrooms, each on different floors. The larger one is below the smaller one. I walk into the expansive bedchamber to inspect it and notice the beautiful tin ceiling tiles that seem to be made of gleaming silver. The furniture is new velvet. A large, empty wooden wardrobe looks ready for storage. One wall-shelf has a non-functioning piece of electrical sound equipment that I remove.
I don’t see a need for Chris to have two bedrooms, and both are larger than mine, so I consider trading with him. Many rooms include the shimmering silver ceiling tile, which really catches my eye.
The energy of the house decor is fully sensuous. I spend many hours quietly rambling through room after room. Eventually it is time to move outdoors, and I am surprised to see that the family home stands on the shore of a lake surrounded by snow-peaked mountains, like Lake Placid or Lake Louise. The angle of the house-wings face the water.
The lake is free of ice. The grasses and trees are green. Dozens of neighbors and my siblings are playing together along the shoreline and in the warm water. I try to walk on the tip of lake stones but my physical strength and balance is age-diminished, even though I am young in the dream. This feels like a clue to my dream-self.
I decide to reenter the house, joining my father and mother in the kitchen. My father has thick, dark, curly hair and is a true extrovert. I see how his engaging, theatrical personality has benefitted his financial well-being. I am surprised such a wealthy man is cooking. He tells me he has just hired an Italian chef, who is yet to arrive.
Day notes
Yesterday I had a quarterly meeting with my financial advisors and retirement looks good. One test chart actually said my optimal retirement age is younger than I have been planning. Tarot was nine of cups (wishes coming true, prosperity).
