8 years ago with Pluto on my ascendant (I’m a Capricorn sun,moon in Aries, Gemini Rising) and yes, my mother was a Leo sun moon in Aquarius, just like you mentioned above- Well, March 2003 I had a death and rebirth experience, yes, I did die and went on a visionary journey that lasted three nights. What an experience! I was reborn when I got slammed back into my body and some very important “stuff” was revealed to me, that I needed to know about myself. Oh my goodness. I LOVE YOUR ARTICLE. I can’t tell you how happy i am to have read this. I now do story telling …. and it is a redemptive experience that heals my relationship with my mother and myself, and my Italian Grandmother – all who have guided me in dreams.

I live in Berkeley. I’d love to hear more about this precious process breathing life into the joyful and glorious parts of the inner child that had to hide, exiled herself to the Underworld like the divine feminine until it was safe to surface. A melodious song of en light en ment and illumination of the deepest and most innocent soul parts. NOw, i know why i always cry with the most joyful and sweetest of expressions when I am able to integrate her into this dimension. I feel so much joy and happiness – now i understand that this is her energy that must be integrated, a depth of personal joy and esteem. THANK YOU. Naomi
