This is a great thread. I am interested in psychic abilities, dreamwork, and the astrology chart markers for these talents. (As an aside, I have been hoping that people would start posting more of these kind of topics. There is a spiritual realm sub-forum here that I think is under utilized and could be a safe haven for all things psychic and spiritual.)
In consistent polling, most Americans report that they have had some contact with a deceased family member. All of these people are most certainly not psychotic. Also, psychic dreams are quite common in the psychic community.
I believe psychic abilities are more common than reported, because we live in a place and time where these abilities are not encouraged or developed, but in fact denigrated. Talented psychics are either ridiculed or placed on a new age guru pedestal, therefore many psychics keep a low profile and tend to share only with fellow psychics, or with those who are sympathetic and open minded.
There are many kinds of psychic abilities, too many to list here. I do not think any one has complied a list of astrology markers by specific psychic ability. So I am interested to see what ideas people have along those lines in this thread.
Bluebell’s dream outlined is a very lovely dream; the dreamer is communicating with deceased relatives who provide a loving, empowering presence which feels transformative. This is called psychic mediumship, the ability to communicate with discarnate beings. Her dream seems to have been triggered by an upcoming stressful event, a return to work. Her family came to her assistance while she was asleep.
Even mental health professionals who do not believe in psychic abilities would see this dream as a very positive sign of growth and empowerment, but coming from the unconscious rather than other realms. Carl Jung a famous psychologist, however believed that the subconscious was connected to the spiritual realm, and something that we all share, the collective unconscious.
In terms of chart makers for psychic ability, Bluebell’s chart is showing us the psychic ability in the following:
Moon/Ura/Nep conjunction
2h (karmic gift house) Pluto in Scorpio aspected to Mercury, this gives the mediumship
Venus in Pisces
Mercury/Neptune
In general, natal chart psychic markers:
Moon in water signs, especially Pisces
Sun, Mercury, Venus in Pisces or Cancer
2h (karmic gift house) Moon, Neptune or Pluto
12h Pluto
Moon, Venus, Mercury aspects to Neptune
Pluto/Moon aspects, the conjunction is said to be a rare sign of a direct clairvoyant
I believe Pluto involvement with the other psychic markers are going to give the mediumship ability (communication with discarnate beings).
The inner planets are day to day issues, the outer planets are spiritual, direct links to the spiritual realm, so inner to outer aspects are the channeling of pure spiritual energy to us here on earth.
In terms of developing psychic abilities, there are ways to do that via practice and training.
Psychic abilities are like any other talent, musical, athletic, etc. It is possible to develop the skills.
For people who wish to develop psychic dreaming, relax and meditate before bedtime. Keep a dream journal and begin to record dreams for study and learning purposes. Or it can be a more relaxed approach where a person just goes with the flow. Like other talents, some people are serious musicians, for others it is just a casual hobby.
Dreams can come from three sources: random neural firings as the brain processes the day’s events; subconscious thoughts and feelings; psychic connections to other realms. The dream journal will help to delineate between the three types of dreams.
I have undergone training in various psychic areas, and it is a big help in focusing these skills and also showing me my strengths.
