Last night I dreamt my father and I were both camp counsellors at a "kids" camp, however the "kids" were really adults. It was a very challenging camp, a little like my yoga training actually. My father's job (I don't remember mine) was to take the "kids" out boating. After a few days, the senior staff started approaching me to say, "you have to do something about your father, he's in a bad mood all the time, gruff with the kids, and he doesn't seem to want to be here". I told the staff that my father had "just had a stroke in November" and that they should cut him some slack.
I went to speak with my father and he complained that he was having problems with the motors and the boats often wouldn't start...he was frustrated. I told him that his job was to make sure that the "kids" enjoyed themselves and that if he couldn't get the boat to work, he'd have to accept that and make sure that the kids were happy anyway. I was very loving but stern with him. I asked him if he wanted me to spend some more time with him and to help him to relax. He said yes, so I started to spend more time with him everyday.
I'd be very curious to know what you think of this dream. This dream is different for me because my father is in it. BTW my father has not had a stroke.
I'm finding that there are two types of dreams that I have routinely and I'm wondering, in general, what they might mean. The first is that I continually dream about teaching (often yoga), but I'm an instructor in an unusual situation (outdoors or another country etc.). The second dream is that I am shopping and taking great care to examine the merchandise or items before I decide to purchase. Lately I've been dreaming about buying things imported from India (I have some background here), clothes jewellery etc. I'm thinking to myself, "I don't often get to buy things so I have to be sure".
Ooooh...a mystery to solve! This dream is begging for me to check your chart out.
Hey....did you have some sort of 'fateful encounter' with someone that was unexpected and affected you on a Conscious level....in November, 2003? Not sure if that's related. If you can think back to November...I wonder if you did experience a shock of some kind and you're cutting yourself some slack because you went through something in November that wasn't all that pleasant....?
Your Father in your dream is an aspect of yourself. Depending on what your father's traits are (maybe write them down?) - there is that aspect of yourself that is getting frustrated with energy flow within your Emotional Body...? That's great that you were firm but loving with this aspect of yourself. More love would probably do it!

If you're having dreams about Teaching all the time it really depends on whether the dreams are wonderful feeling or frustrating feeling. I guess they would all relate to how you feel as a Teacher...if you're getting across to your students etc.
Shopping is symbolic of looking for what you NEED. The items themselves and colours will shed some light on that. Are you being cautious about giving your Self what you Need?

Also, Janaki, I also noticed that at your birthday in 2003 you started a brand new 13-year cycle! Brand spanking new! Does this year feel completely different from the 13 that came before it? From 1990 until 2002 you were in a cycle that was all about planting your seed. (Yellow Seed) I wonder if you felt that within those 13 years....when you neared the end you noticed old issues wrapping themselves up...?
So now you are in a Red Moon 13-year phase...and you're in a Red Mooon phase this year. This is all about the following and remember that you are asking the question this year: "How do I call forth the resonance of my True Vibration?" Yes! And you do it with Red Moon, below:
Red Moon is the cosmic seed of awakened awareness. Consume it like a fruit, and let it blossom within you. You are on the quest of self-remembrance, of Godseed. If you work with the energy of Red Moon with clear awareness and attention, an awakened state of remembrance will naturally blossom within you. Remembrance means having direct access to your expanded presence through an intrinsic perception of unity. Remembrance is your recognition of the larger pattern and your connection to it, often facilitated through dreams, art, music, colors and creative pursuits. With focused attention, meditate on Red Moon and you will receive help with self-remembrance.
Red Moon is also a beacon or transmitting station. As you open to self-remembrance, you become a beacon and receiver for cosmic consciousness. This communication creates the gradual opening of the third eye, the eye within the mononlith of self. As this eye opens and your communication becomes more refined, you will notice more signs, signals and understanding coming to you. These are all for your growth and evolution - a feedback system from which you can gain insight about your journey.
To the Maya, Red Moon is represented by the raindrop or rainwater. "Drink from my clear waters," says Red Moon. "Be cleansed by my rain. Receive divine guidance, cosmic raindrop from the Creator's eye. Godseed of awakened awareness, acknowledge yourself. May your eye be single. Bathe in my waters of remembrance."
The number for Red Moon is nine, which symbolizes the recurrence of great cycles. (*Janaki do you have any numerology of 9-ness? hmmm - I guess your birthday itself includes three 9's - well 4 if you count all of them!) An example of such recurrence is the periodic return of master teachers (*oooh, Janaki!) to help awaken human beings on Earth. Nine is the number of Quetzalcoatl, Buddha, and Christ. Red Moon is a symbol for great teachers who have come to translate universal wisdom to humanity, to embody the awakened state of consciousness that is accessible to all. Such teachers serve as a connection to the Divine and hold the promise of full self-mastery.
The color for Red Moon is sunset peach, which can assist in remembering your Essence Self. Use this color for the tender awakening of divine consciousness within you."

Woah, Janaki! THIS is the Theme of your next 13 years! And it just started this year. Do you feel this freshness?
That 'promise of self master' and all that Beacon Teacher stuff soooo resonates to your 12th house Capricorn Moon! Yes. The 12th house is the Divine Womb...and the place of public service...your masterful Moon is there ready to give. With this placement you just have to follow your intuition and not try to control things at all. Ride the wave and you will achieve that mastery that you desire. You can't control this aspect of your being.
You know what, I can't think of anything difficult or unusual or an encounter which happened in November. I even went home to check my diary at lunch. I didn't even write anything in November! So, I'm not sure about that.
My father is the biggest grump if he's frustrated by some inanimate object....and I guess so am I. I did however have quite an encounter recently. I met someone and immediately knew we'd spent lifetimes together before. This person helped me to realize that I'm not having much fun these days. So the messages I'm getting from a variety of fronts are to take more time to have fun and to enjoy simple things.
I usually feel quite effective and encouraged by my teaching dreams, so I expect that they are positive. I gotta think about the shopping because it's interesting that I'm dreaming about buying "Indian" things and in reference to what I NEED, this could prove an interesting "think" for me!
Onto the 13 year cycle. Yes, this year feels fresh and is very different from the last many. I had attributed this mostly to cleansing however, but what you wrote sounds right. a lot is changing and the qualities of "public service...signs, signals, awakened attention, understanding, self-remembrance, divine guidance, Godseed, cosmic communication, beacon"...these all resonate for me. And yes, a lot of old stuff has, or is presently wrapping-up. Thank God for that!
Re the "9s". Yes, I have a LOT of nines in my birth date. Funny thing is, the closest person I have to being a guru (and I hesitate a little to call him that just because he's a bit senile and often forgets who I am!), shares the same birthday as me, 30 years previously. So we have all the same 9s! When I found out I was shocked. He's a phenomenal teacher...and shares some qualities with my father actually.
Re "self remembrance", this has been a message I've been getting over and over recently...that instead of being concerned with educating myself, or trying to learn new information, to relax and to let it come out of me. Andreas even told me that a great knowledge is within already, to let it to come out.
Anyway, thank you for your fabulous response. I really enjoyed reading the mayan stuff...it's very helpful.
So...this 'fateful encounter' spot in your chart actually spans a few months. It's transiting Uranus (surprise surprise!) opposing your Venus/Vertex (ooooh)...all about a new unexpected relationship. Your description sounds perfect for this aspect!
Yes yes yes....Janaki you DO have much wisdom already within you - and you have HUGE masterful access to it too. Just remember not to control it and it will emerge. That is sooo cool that your Teacher has the same birthdate! Doesn't that say something!? oh yeah! I'm glad the Red Moon resonated....I felt like it would by looking at your chart...
