MOON IS VOID OF COURSE: A whole day spent in the space between two signs, neither here nor there. Again, it's not recommended to initiate any action of importance during this time as it's unlikely that it will work out as intended. It's a GREAT time for inner work and creative endeavors. The imagination should soar today and we should follow it wherever it takes us! Slow down with this dream-like energy. Get out into nature and let her show herself to you.
SCENE OF THE DAY: LA BELLE ET LA BETE (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST), 1946, France, DIRECTOR: Jean Cocteau. This surrealist masterpiece by poet filmmaker Cocteau takes us into the dreamworld of the unconsciousness where symbol and metaphor live in hope of opening us up to consciousness and a fuller experience of being alive. The slow motion effect and the rich celluloid black and white resolution enhance the experience of the dream. Nothing like the chemistry of real film, as opposed to digital video, to feel the depth of images. We are in that in between place of the liminal world where anything can happen. Cocteau's film is the inspiration for Disney's remake and, though the animated version is wonderful...well, there's just no comparison.
