ASTROLOGY IN FILM: JUNE 29-30

MOON IN TAURUS at 6:03am EDT on Wednesday June 29th until 8:19pm EDT on Thursday June 30th. Ruled by Venus, the drive of the Taurus Moon is to provide security for those around her. This security is usually focused on money or other resources available. This Fixed Earth sign reflects what we personally value so it also represents Beauty, Property and appreciating what our Senses offer us. Taurus, as Bull, digs his heels in when his values are questioned and stands firm in his beliefs...it has been called 'stubborn'. Taurus will hold a lot of tension but when his limit is reached stand back for the explosion! 

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Mars in Scorpio at 8:19pm EDT on Thursday June 30th. And explode is what he's likely to do with this aspect, especially since MARS TURNS DIRECT on Wednesday the 29th at 6:38pm EDT! Though it will take a few weeks to get up to speed and maintain full-Mars-ahead, this marks the end of a two and a half month retrograde for this action-oriented planet. Projects that have felt stalled should pick up steam mid-July. Actions initiated during this Taurus Moon period will tend to have a CHALLENGING result. There's a good chance one's personal values will conflict with another's. This is likely to be in the arena of money, land, or some other resource. Try to negotiate, compromise or just listen without a knee-jerk reaction - if you can possibly control it. Find an alternative response. I once asked a Tibetan lama what he did when he felt angry. He replied: "I go outside and yell at a rock." Great image! Great choice! Remember, this challenging energy must be acknowledged, used. If we repress it, it will come back and kick us in the butt. Creative, emotional and energetic sex is another possible outlet for Moon opposite Mars in Scorpio! 

 
SCENE OF THE DAY: A FEW GOOD MEN, 1992; Director: Rob Reiner; Screenwriter: Aaron Sorkin. This is one of the classic Jack Nicholson cinematic moments! Sorkin is the Master of Dialogue and Jack hits it out of the park! Tom Cruise is electric, playing a first-time prosecuting attorney finding his way in the courtroom. Nicholson's Colonel Jessup believes his values to be true and honorable and finds any objection to them abhorrent. He provides security for his country in whatever way he deems necessary. His explosion is in true Taurean form and the camera eats it up!
