Are you looking for a way to mark the Full Moon in Pisces in a very simple, nonritualistic and maybe even solitary way? A way to keep it simple, but meaningful? Grab a couple of your all-time favorite movies and settle in for a night of fantasy and comfort.
There are a few movies that I cannot turn away from if I come across them while channel flipping. They aren’t necessarily the greatest movies ever made, but they satisfy something in me that causes me to watch them over and over again. When I was overwhelmed with my work life in New York City, I would settle in at home and watch Working Girl followed up by Alien. I needed to see some powerful women tackle the obstacles in their lives and win. I always felt better. Thanks, Melanie and Siguourney! I couldn’t have survived Madison Avenue without you.
Other times, I needed some golden oldies ~ All About Eve or Imitation of Life. Oh, how I love those. And for pure feel-good fantasty and Aquarian indulgence, Starman is still one of my all-time favorites. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is my personal cult movie. I love saying the lines with the characters, “Plan? There ain’t no plan!” still cracks me up.
For extra appeal during that comfy session on the sofa or in the easy chair, give yourself a footsoak while watching. Pisces rules the feet, after all. Fix a nice warm tub of soothing water with some epsom salts and a little lavendar oil, finished off with some peppermint lotion and a cozy pair of socks, and just turn to mush. Dissolve into your Pisces moment. Grab a towel and get those snacks set up before you start, though, so you don’t have to keep pulling your feet out of that instant ocean you’ve just submerged them in. Sit back, lay back, and maybe even drift off into your own internal film.
Those are two great things ~ feet that feel good and a feel-good movie. Get yourself some of the very best of a Pisces Full Moon ~ fantasy, escapism, your own little mini-ocean, and some relaxation. Yeah, baby.

The Fall is a fantastic movie that is perfect for a Pisces viewing. The cinematography is stunningly gorgeous. The story is ingenious and moving, propelled by great wit and beautiful costuming. Here’s the movie trailer if you’re interested in taking a look.

The Dream
“It seems like I was sitting in my living room, the apartment I live in now. And all of you were here. We were just sitting around talking when a delivery guy shows up with three bags of Chinese food and everyone started singing, “In a Gada da Vida.” Mike lit a candle and said, “Wow, that’s hot!” And then I looked over and Lynne had a cat on her head. And then it started talking, but it was french or something. I couldn’t understand it. Totally bizarre. I mean, that is so strange when animals talk in dreams, huh?
And then it gets really weird…
Barbara and Carl start waltzing around the room. But it isn’t my living room anymore. They’re dancing, gliding in space with stars and comets whizzing by. They float past a table where I’m having a cocktail with Maureen, a mimosa, I think. Anyway, Maureen stands up and announces that the last train leaves in 28 days. She hands me a ticket which turns into a shoe and and waltzes off with Omar Shariff. Oh! Oh! Then…, then Cheryl shows up in this really amazing red convertible to drive me to the train station.
When I get in the car, I’m not in the car at all. I’m flying over the city. I fly back to my living room and you’re all still here. Each one of you hands me a fortune cookie ~ and that’s really spooky because all the fortunes are the same. No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember what the fortune said. I can see it, but I can’t make it out.
Do you think this means anything?”
The Dream Time. Where nothing makes sense, yet holds every answer you had ever hoped for. The Moon is sleep. Pisces, the dream.
Have you ever written down your dreams and come back years later to read them? Did they come rushing back through the written word? Had you found your answer in the time that had passed?
Is there one particular dream that stays with you even though years have passed, and no matter how hard you try you just can’t understand what it means?
I had one way, way back when. I can see it as clearly now as I did the night I slept through it. A bit frightening, yet invigorating. Too telling, yet not telling enough. Did it seal my fate? Am I doomed to its message, whatever it was?
Ah, Pisces…you escape me.
Take special note of your dreams during this Full Moon in Pisces. Write them down or speak them out loud. There may be wisdom there. Sometimes, in just the telling of a dream, it all makes perfect sense. It becomes gossamer, so thinly veiled that we wonder why we didn’t understand it immediately. We can laugh at our sleep laden attempts at superficial symbolism. It’s so clear, so simple. Did we really think we could fool ourselves with all that smoke and mirrors?
Write them down. Come back to them. Weave the dream.
