Falling is one of the most common dream images, and it usually shows up when something in waking life feels out of your control -- a decision, a relationship, a responsibility you're not sure you can hold onto. It's rarely about an actual fear of heights; it's about the sensation of losing your footing somewhere else.
There will neither good or evil be performed, but when the good or bad planets in a nativity or revolution shall aspect the Moon by a quadrate. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
