October 19 through October 25, 2026

We’ll be required to practice a lot of patience and flexibility as the Moon dances through unpredictable Aquarius Monday and Tuesday, but take heart, as these last-minute changes or delays are designed to work in our favor, even if we can’t see it right away. When the Moon drifts into Pisces on Wednesday, we’ll enjoy a two-day reprieve and experience some interesting insights on a spiritual level. This is also a period when we can discover lost items, remember things we forgot to do (just in the nick of time!), and reconnect with long-lost friends and lovers. The Sun will move into Scorpio on Friday, shifting our attention from outward to inward as we enter a four-week period of spiritual awakenings and magical events! This is also the time of year that the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is the thinnest, allowing us to expand our metaphysical and intuitive sides. Mercury is turning retrograde on Saturday, which will herald in a three-week cycle of higher awareness as well, calling for us to be alert and attentive on all levels.

By what measure do you love? If you are like most people, you probably keep some score of reciprocity, monitoring whether or not others are giving as much as you are in your relationships. Granted, no one likes to feel that a friendship or partnership is one-sided, but this typically self-referential approach to love does not really serve our highest good, and keeping score never feels good.

It is true that the feeling of love we have will fluctuate based on how balanced the giving and receiving is between us and others. But if we instead approach love as an action rather than a feeling, then we can be grateful, either for what we may be receiving, or if we are not, then for the opportunity to practice stepping deeper into love. If we take the perspective that loving is a spiritual practice, it changes the measure by which we love.

The Energy of Love
The key to making this shift is recognizing that there is only one energy of love. It is not mine, or yours, or hers. Divine love is radiating to us and through us in a million different disguises, through every human expression of loving that we share with partners, relatives, friends, and even strangers.

Love is the universally harmonizing energy that draws all things together. It is the uniting principle of the cosmos. When we see it as such, rather than a limited personal commodity that we may or may not be getting from another person, then we can start to create divinely loving relationships.

We can see one another as love channels and appreciate every moment as an opportunity to dive deeper into loving action, offering kindness and compassion to each person we encounter, rather than selfishly looking for what they can bring to us. If we are not watching to see what someone is giving back, then we are free to expand our capacity to love.

This is certainly not the world standard for loving, is it? And if someone is unkind, or even hurtful to us, how can we be loving then? This is when our practice is most essential! Rather than react in a similar way, we need to pause and breathe. We can bear witness to the purity of the person's soul behind his disagreeable exterior and choose to drop into the energy of love that lives in our own hearts.

Although it is not easy to keep our heart open in this way, it is possible if we allow conflict to be the catalyst for our spiritual evolution. Our challenge is to return again and again to the essence of love itself, not as an intellectual exercise but as an embodied meditation on our shared oneness, twenty-four hours a day, every day.

Of course, we will feel challenged by the painful limitations of our ego at times, but if we attempt to spiritualize every moment of our lives by living the principle of love, we create a purposeful connection to all beings and to the Source of love itself. Any small gesture of love moves us in a positive direction and eventually we experience a newfound freedom in all of our relationships. This practice also keeps us from drowning in the worldly fear and outrage that threaten daily to rob us of our inner peace.

Love Is Always the Answer
By making our engagement with conscious loving, rather than the scale of reciprocity, our measuring stick of success, then whether the world responds or turns away we are able to carry on with passion and purpose. Love becomes our guiding philosophy, sustaining us during times of sorrow and discouragement, and giving us meaning and joy. There is no more powerful or constructive force for positive change.

Every moment becomes different when we approach life through divine love. We see more possibility, more compassion, and more potential. We feel more expansiveness in every moment as we grow beyond our old personal limitations until the whole world becomes our beloved. By consciously loving, we remember the truth of our being; that we are love and that love is the answer to everything.

Meditation Opens the Door to Divine Love
The best way to develop a strong connection to this energy of love is through mediation. Daily stillness illumines the ways in which we may be blocking Divine love in our hearts or minds through habitual reactive responses, or the tendency to fight or flee if our ego feels threatened. It calms the body and the mind and creates the foundation for a deeply peaceful life and more harmonious human relationships. It also connects us with our innermost soul, which is love, and this makes us feel joyful and eager to extend that universal love to all those around us.

Daily Practice
Beginning meditation is not difficult and requires no special techniques. The first step is simply commit to some time to be still. Begin with just five minutes each day. Turn off cell phones and other distractions and sit down somewhere quiet. Feel your breath moving in your belly and chest. Notice any thoughts, feelings, or physical sensations, but do not engage with the story. Instead, direct your mind to something that inspires the feeling of love for you. For some this might be a religious teacher or symbol. For the non-religious, it could be your spouse or beloved pet. However you initially connect to love is fine.

Train your attention completely on the energy of love and breathe into it with your whole being. Eventually, with deeper and deeper concentration on love, you will feel a merging into the energy of love itself so that you perceive no separation from it.

If you are in intimate relationship and would like to experience a connection together in Divine love, try an open eye meditation with your partner. Again, be sure to eliminate distractions and commit to a period of quiet time together. Sit in close proximity to one another and hold eye contact without talking. Take slow, mindful breaths for at least two minutes. See the essence of love within the eyes of your partner. This will create a profound feeling of togetherness and deeper intimacy.

Studies by Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education have shown that meditation increases positive emotions and decreases negative communications. As a result of seven weeks of loving kindness meditation, reports show participants felt heightened love, joy, contentment, gratitude, pride, hope, interest, amusement, and awe: all factors for relationship longevity. And it only stands to reason that people who are happier and experience positive emotions are more likely to form stronger, deeper bonds.

Devotion to Divine Love
To experience the full measure of Divine love, a total commitment to it is required. The same is true for meditation. Spiritual practices, both meditation and conscious loving, evolve with time and patience. Unfortunately, too many people throw in the towel because results are not always immediate. But this is just like the worldly, self-centered love that we stop offering because we are not getting it back in the way we wish.

The more we choose to focus on Divine love, the more profound our devotion becomes. And as we become saturated with loving devotion, both our meditations and our relationships deepen. Our consciousness blooms in empathy, compassion, understanding, and ever-deepening love and we no longer feel limited or motivated by personal agenda or feelings. Instead we feel the bliss of oneness and unconditional love.

When you dream about another person and it feels like real life, is it possible that your soul meets them at that moment in time while you are asleep? Can dreams be shared by two people? If somebody is having a dream about me, might I know about it through my own dream, or might they? I would love to hear your comments on this! Thank you.

Yes, dreams can be shared when souls meet while their physical bodies are at rest. If you can accept that on faith, I think that's wonderful. Unfortunately, most humans require proof, and there is only one way to get that ñ by asking the other person.

Even then, many people block awareness of all of their dreams so they don't remember ANY of them at all. Other people absolutely refuse to discuss their dreams with anyone. Depending on the other person, you can usually find a way to ask if you feel you must. I strongly advise against that in your case; eventually you'll be able to do it, but it's not time yet.

Often, people will share dreams but not necessarily at the same time or on the same night. Those dreams usually feel real but a bit weaker. Since dreams don't always coincide, you might not always know that the other person was dreaming the same dream even if you asked.

Strong feelings can manifest as dreams. There are times you are broadcasting and times the other person is. Discovering this can be a delicate process for a couple, so let him direct the schedule for this.

In the mean time, do all the usual things: Keep a dream journal even if you are just napping, and write down everything you can remember as soon as you wake up. Keep it for three months before you go back over it.

Daydreams are almost as important as night dreams, especially in romantic connections or situations you hope will become romantic. Keep a separate small notebook with you at all times to record your day dreams in.

I've been a psychic reader for some 40 years now, and have discovered that while dreams are often shared, usually people don't discuss them so they never know that this has happened. I know there are several readers here at Kajama who are able to tell you if you're sharing dreams with someone or if the other person's dreams are similar to yours. You know you probably are, but confirmation never hurts.

If I were reading for you, I would tell you that you are definitely sharing those dreams with the person you love, but there is very little you can do about it to make him see what's going on. He'll find out his own way. Asking him if he is sharing those dreams at this point in your relationship would either scare him half to death or make him think you're nuts! Once you're together, he'll broach it himself, so just sit tight for now.

Susyn:

Our spirits are more strongly connected to each other than most people realize. For this reason, whether we are awake or asleep, our hearts and minds can easily reach out to each other. It's not uncommon to dream about someone only to discover they were dreaming of or thinking about you at the very same time.

You may also dream about someone when they are going through a difficult time, so when a person graces your dreams, you may want to reach out to them by phone or email. Because we are sensitive to those we care about, it's not unusual to dream about a person or for them to have a dream about us, only connect with them in real life shortly after.

Sometimes when we have these experiences, we can actually be astral projecting to the people we dream about (or vice versa) to interact on a soul level. Whether your dreams contain personal events or you are simply an observer, these experiences could involve you leaving your body and being transported to the other person.

Astral projection is a gift that can be developed and eventually controlled. If you investigate how to strengthen your gift for astral projection, you could soon be able to direct your astral travels in order to visit other people, places or times.

When people are far apart or have no reason to be in contact, (i.e., they've broken up or haven't seen each other for a long time) or one of them has crossed over to the spiritual plane, it is natural for our subconscious to want to interact with them. Oftentimes this is done through our dreams, as it allows us to connect with them on a soul level even when it's impossible to reach out to them physically.

Also, if there are unresolved issues, buried fears or latent feelings that we aren't aware of consciously, our subconscious will deal with them through these types of dreams. The actual dream may have no bearing on real life situations, but it can hold hints of issues we need to address or clear up.

When lovers find themselves far apart, their souls may use dreams as a way to connect on a soul level. Though we rarely have control of our dreams or the ability to program them to go a certain way, our subconscious always knows what we need.

I suggest you keep a diary of these dreams, and then, if possible, compare notes with the person you dreamed about. This could confirm that you were simultaneously reaching out to each other across the ethers.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
