DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: APRIL 24-26

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS from Sunday 4/24 at 8:46am EDT until Tuesday 4/26 at 11:51am. The great adventurer Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, can be described as the principle of expansion in every way: the journey to the other side of the world; the far-reaching journeys in the mind of the philosopher; the published author who distributes her work globally; the Truth Seeker. This is Zeus' myth of leadership, independence, abundance, optimism and wisdom - known in astrology as 'The Great Beneficent'. He bestows his generous blessings on whatever he touches. This Mutable Fire sign may steam up the naturally watery Moon so make sure to pay attention to the feelings of those around you while you're engaged with the bigger picture! The only downsides to Jupiter/Sag are excess and arrogance. 

LAST ASPECT OF THE MOON: Moon trine Venus at 11:51am EDT on Tuesday 4/26. It doesn't get much sweeter than this! This is a GREAT time! Especially for the women in your life. Moon and Venus, the two light bodies that reflect The Feminine, are in total sync as this final harmonious aspect colors our time in Sagittarius. While Jupiter is out on his quest he finds his feminine receptive and inclusive side. This could be a bit of a lazy adventure, given that Venus loves to lounge and be served, or a survey of the most magnificent Beauty imaginable. Given that Venus is in Aries, the two fire signs are more likely to be passionate, inspiring and very active! Love, Beauty, Art and Adventure are all in the air and whatever you choose to initiate at this time Venus, as 'The Lesser Beneficent', will bless your endeavor. Be Aware: Since Mercury is about to turn Retrograde (on the 28th - but remember the 3 days before and after period of adjustment) the 24th is the last best day to initiate actions, make major purchases etc. before the 3-4 week period most benefited by inner focus. We should note that Mars is already retrograde which will also tend to reflect a slowing down, going inward and reconsideration of actions. See Post for April 17th about these Retrogrades!                                           
SCENE FOR THE DAY: OUT OF AFRICA; 1985; Director: Sydney Pollak. So here we have the ultimate Sagittarian love scene: Independent and ever the adventurer Redford with Venus Streep flying high over Africa's exquisite expansive landscape, falling in love. Just because Retrograde Mars may indicate how this story might end, it will not ruin this scene...ever!
