DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: MAY 1-2

MOON IN PISCES: Moon enters Pisces at 10:33am EDT after being Void of Course in the morning. This is the creative Dreamtime. Carlos Castenada Magic time. Ruled by Neptune this Moon dissolves the line between reality and illusion. On the one hand be wary of deception and confusion - distinctions between things may be unclear. On the other watch your imagination soar. You can have your best creative ideas appear at this time. Music, Poetry - all forms of Art are more accessible now. It is said that much of Art, perhaps in its highest manifestation, reflects some aspect of the perfection or unity of the world. Totally Neptune. You might witness your identity dissolve into another character and discover the Actor in you. Perhaps the door to the Divine is open wider now and we experience a sense of wholeness, connectedness: All is One and One is All. 

LAST ASPECT OF THE MOON: Moon Sextile Mercury at 1:08am May 3rd. This is a GOOD time for having, remembering and talking about Dreams! Mercury - the archetype of Communication, Mind Processes and Travel, not to mention the Trickster - will bring opportunities to the Neptunian world. You are likely to have some great ideas sourced by your unconscious at this time. It's a place where the logical rational mind is in sync with the imagination. Perhaps an image that seems to come out of nowhere will inspire you to take the trip of a lifetime or write a song, compose a poem, novel or film. (Save the actual trip or publishing till after Mercury - and possibly Mars go direct!) 

 
SCENE FOR THE DAY: Inception, 2010; Director: Christopher Nolan. In this scene, DiCaprio's character Cobb explains the phenomena of Lucid Dreaming and Inception to Page's appropriately named character Ariadne. The unconscious mind as labyrinth is the theme here and, as in the Minotaur myth, Ariadne offers a thread for the characters to follow out of the dreamworld maze. The Trickster plays his part making the dreamscape precariously realistic. Mercury and Neptune reflect opposing worlds of the conscious and unconscious psyche. To honor both, bringing the unconscious to consciousness is to become individuated and whole.
