My Venus is successful Pisces, and I consciousness for illustration each I tin do is daydream astir nan unrequited emotion I person and nan objects of my desire who will ne'er cognize I moreover exist. How tin I get free of (or astatine slightest decenter) these daydreams and really attraction connected nan group and places successful beforehand of me? I’m a precocious bloomer and worried I’m still missing retired connected surviving by being stuck successful these idealized fantasies of what emotion could be.

I cognize that sometimes your Piscean Venus tin consciousness for illustration a curse, but I committedness you, it’s a gift from nan Cosmic Mother. Hear maine out. The capacity to consciousness deeply, particularly successful nan realm of love, is 1 of nan astir transcendently quality experiences that mortal beings tin have. Many group wish they could consciousness arsenic profoundly arsenic you do. They employment each manners of outer stimuli and self-optimization techniques to attack moreover a fraction of what your bosom is people tin of. Thoughts and prayers to them. But that capacity to consciousness deeply, particularly erstwhile that emotion is nan heart-wrenching cosmopolitan antic that is love, brings pinch it immoderate grade of suffering.

In Buddhism, bodhicitta is, essentially, a desire to attain enlightenment successful bid to free each beings from suffering. To scope that spot wherever your desire is to use others altruistically — which is what emotion is, astatine its halfway — 1 must make friendly interaction pinch nan guidelines of that suffering. This is nan X Games of empathy. And empathizing that profoundly hurts. It takes souls galore incarnations to attain enlightenment. But having Venus successful Pisces is for illustration if your bosom came programmed pinch a directed-by-Sofia-Coppola-dead-wife-montage to glimpse into that possibility.

What I’m trying to opportunity is this: The yearning that feels for illustration a load is besides your belief superpower. Your inclination toward dreaming, and really easy you are consumed by it, is your heart’s measurement of creating not conscionable a gorgeous life for yourself, but a much rose-tinted world for everyone. We request group for illustration you. If your dreams are emotion much for illustration escapism (the flip broadside of Venus successful Pisces), each that intends is that they request gentle attraction and loving direction. Write them out, singing them, move your hips and unfastened your thorax while speaking them aloud. Allow nan dreams to travel for illustration h2o done your body, truthful they don’t drown you. Honor them pinch nan abstraction they request to consciousness alive. But don’t miss nan constituent of caring truthful wholly successful nan first spot — to person a quality acquisition connected this dense, fleshy plane.

While you’re doing that, crushed yourself successful practices that punctual your Olympic jock of a loving psyche that you are, indeed, bony and bloody (beautiful!). Practice meditation, moreover if it’s conscionable going for a locomotion without euphony to observe activity and step. Delight successful rituals that prosecute nan senses, for illustration slow moving a mouthful of Champagne astir your tongue, aliases lighting palo santo successful nan acheronian and letting its fume envelop you. Conjuring fantasies is 1 of humanity’s astir ancient arts — a ineffable imaginative believe — but without earthly rooting, nan symphony is incomplete. You’ll ne'er miss what’s meant for you. The Cosmic Mother hears your heart, and Her timing is ever perfect. Trust successful it. Don’t miss retired connected nan shapes nan lightning paints nan clouds pinch because you’re excessively engaged swimming successful puddles.
