DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM MAY 14-16

MOON IN VIRGO. Moon enters Virgo at 1:52am EDT on Saturday May 14th until 5:20am EDT on Monday May 16th. Ruled by Mercury, Virgo reflects the analytical mind and its ability to problem solve. It is oriented towards creating perfection - so order, organization and attention to details are its forte. Virgo has to be careful that its drive for precision doesn't criticize everyone else for the lack of it. It's not too easy on itself either. As I've said before, I look forward to this time for cleaning house and organizing  everything in sight. The energy really does seem to inspire these efforts. A MUTABLE EARTH sign, we tend to feel grounded and productive now, able to adapt to whatever shows up as needing to be addressed. As always it's a great use of Virgo's time to write, read, teach, speak or communicate in any form. 

Speaking of Virgo... Jupiter has been transiting this sign since August 2015. It went up to 23 degrees Virgo in January 2016 when it went Retrograde - all the way back to 13 degrees. Just this week, on Monday May 9, JUPITER STATIONED DIRECT. This reflects an exciting time when, after a period of turning its perspective inward, Jupiter's archetype of growth and striving for meaning and wisdom is available to us once again in our dealings with the outer circumstantial and relational world. This is something to celebrate! FYI: Investors also look to Jupiter's sign - which changes yearly - to determine what categories of stocks will 'grow' or increase. Jupiter in Virgo would reflect benefits in educational resources or any products/companies with a focus on analyses. Also health, healing and care-giving products or businesses, cleaning products and any service-oriented companies would be considered the arenas for good investments.

LAST ASPECT OF THE MOON: Moon Trine Sun at 5:20am EDT on Monday May 16th. This should be a GREAT time to get a lot accomplished! Especially things listed above that you have previously begun and are going back to complete or re-do. Actions initiated during this time have a MIXED evaluation for the eventual result produced - only because Mercury and Mars are still retrograde. Though thoughts and emotions are in harmony and you should be able to communicate what you're feeling with great detail and clarity, continue to check and double check that you're all on the same page and that your timing is in sync! Also, try to be conscious that you're not too nit-picky in your judgments.

SCENE FOR THE DAY: The Big Short, 2015; Director: Adam McKay. Talk about analyses! This film basically attempts to explain, in the most entertaining way possible, the financial crash of 2008.  With wonderful performances by Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt and others, the development of the housing market bubble is described in amazing Virgonian clarity, detail and drama. This crisis was - and continues to be - a huge disaster for so many people, not to mention an horrific breach of ethics by those aware of what was happening. Most of the characters in the film who bet against (shorted) the housing market made a lot of money. In this regard only, the characters are 'successful' (even though they expected to make a lot more than they did) and the film is in sync with the positive last aspect description.
