DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: APRIL 6-7

MOON IN ARIES enters 4/6 at 2:46am to 4/7 at 10:56am EDT and NEW MOON IN ARIES on 4/7 at 7:24am EDT. Ruled by Mars, Aries is the time of the Warrior archetype which asserts itself, shows its leadership and initiates actions. We must be aware of the impulsive nature of the energy and slow down to consider what we will choose. Conflicts may ensue if we do not consider those around us. Aries' focus is on the self while it's opposite, Libra is on the other. Be conscious of the whole polar axis. Interestingly, Venus, ruler of Libra, also enters Aries today, an uneasy placement we call being 'in detriment'. So the marriage of opposites is the key...imagine how you can honor both ends of the axis. Eg. Be a Warrior of Beauty!

LAST ASPECT OF THE MOON: Moon conjunct Uranus. While the Moon makes several aspects during its travels through Aries - a conjunction to Venus at 4:01am, a trine to Mars at 3:51pm, a trine to Saturn at 4:33am on the 7th, a square to Pluto at 6:25am and the NEW MOON conjunction to the Aries Sun at 7:24 am EDT on the 7th - the LAST ASPECT lands on a conjunction to Uranus. This gives actions initiated during this Aries Moon either a disruptive, surprising, upsetting result or an innovative, transformative or enlightening resolution...or any combination of the above - especially because the New Moon pulls in the continuing Uranus Square Pluto transit in the sky. The Uranus archetype is the principle of separation and freedom, one of sudden change such as a revolution striving for equality. It rules science and technology and the electric and electronic world. Because the nature of the Moon is feminine and is associated with a womb-like container of protection, the conjunction to the Uranian separating force is most often at odds with its nature. Therefore, actions initiated at this time will tend to have a disruptively CHALLENGING outcome...unless the goal is to shake things up, liberate or reinvent yourself! Because the force is strongest upon approach, take advantage of the coming New Moon early tomorrow morning and consciously use the appropriate action to begin a new chapter in your life TODAY. 
  
SCENE OF THE DAY: ELIZABETH, 1998; Director: Shekhar Kapur. The ultimate feminine warrior! Cate Blanchett's Queen Elizabeth appears over the hill on white horse in full armor to address her army in preparation for initiating battle. The image is nothing short of awe inspiring. We see her character transform from a young uncertain and playful girl in love to the queen who demonstrates she is a woman of convictions, courage and intelligence. With this battle she begins a new chapter for her country. She brings about a revolution for England's religious life including freedom from persecution in this unexpected triumph over Catholic Spain. One of my favorite films!
