Your Zodiac Sign Can Actually Help Reveal When You’ll Have The Most Vivid Dreams
Hint: The moon plays a huge factor.
Ever notice how some of your dreams are more detailed than others? As in, they’re so realistic, you could almost swear they happened in real life? If so, then the moon — aka the symbol of your intuition, innermost feelings, and emotional foundations — could actually be the reason why, because your dreams are usually the most vivid when the moon transits through your Neptune-ruled 12th house of dreams.
Governed by the zodiac chameleon and ever-elusive sign of Pisces, the 12th house of dreams (and karma) is equally mystifying and ambiguous. This area of your birth chart has everything to do with your life behind the scenes, but it goes much deeper. A symbol of endings and beginnings, your karmic patterns, and subconscious mind, it can also speak to your connection to a source. In the words of Pisces rising singer Billie Eilish, "When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"
If you're an avid dreamer, it wouldn't hurt to study the cycles of the moon, and reflect on how the energies come to life in your birth chart. Pay close attention to your emotions upon the moon's shift into your 12th house of dreams, but remember, each one of the houses bring a unique energetic theme.
