DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: APRIL 26-29

MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE at 11:51am EDT until 7:54pm EDT when it ENTERS CAPRICORN. This Void of Course day and evening (See April 7th Con't Post) is a time to reflect on what you'll want to manifest when the Moon enters Capricorn. Use your imagination but don't act yet! When it enters Capricorn the Moon will be 'in detriment', it's natural ruler being Cancer, the opposite sign. Saturn rules structure and form. Structure limits space. So, on the one hand, the Capricorn Moon can feel constricted. Self-expression, especially feelings, can be limited. We might even feel depressed or in denial at this time. On the other hand, Capricorn, a Cardinal Earth sign, wants to bring things to form - to Manifest. It feels more comfortable being active, practical and traditional, all within a known structure and clear rules. Saturn also reflects our sense of Reality - and that often feels like a harsh reality. So instead of feeling stuck, use this ambitious drive for success to produce results. Saturn rules bones and teeth so it's a good time to get a reality check and address any issues in these areas now! Also remember that we're in the three day period before Mercury Stations and turns Retrograde at 1:20pm EDT on Thursday the 28th. This is often considered the most vulnerable time for Mercury's arenas of Communication, Mind Processes and Travel. Check and double check all communications and travel arrangements. Contracts and agreements often don't work out. See Post for April 17th. If at all possible wait to make important agreements and purchases until after the three days following Mercury Stations Direct on May 22 at 9:20am EDT. The first clear day would be May 26th.    

LAST ASPECT TO THE MOON: Moon square Venus at 3:07am EDT on 4/29.  Any aspect to Venus - be it harmonious or hard - is a relatively gentle experience. The 90 degree square may have Venus and the Moon, our two reflectors of the Feminine, indicating friction between women. Venus in Aries might show her feisty demanding side. Or one may simply not feel as attractive as one would like. Whatever you initiate during this time is likely to have a MILDLY CHALLENGED result... feelings might get hurt. Venus also rules money, so you may not be compensated for your endeavor as much as you might have expected.        
SCENE FOR THE DAY: CASABLANCA, 1942; Director: Michael Curtiz. Like traditional Saturn, the black and white celluloid reflects the clear good guy/bad guy polarity that inhabit this political thriller/love story. Capricorn Bogart takes charge in his very dependable and practical way.  Not one to give into the fantasy of romantic love, he knows what's best for Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) and France. In this case, that means Venus loses. But, yes, they'll always have Paris...and the Close Ups are CLASSIC!
