DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: JUNE 12-15

MOON IN LIBRA from 8:33pm EDT on Sunday June 12th (after being VOID OF COURSE from 10:47am) until Wednesday June 15th at 2:01am EDT. Ruled by Venus, this Cardinal Air sign is associated with the glyph of the Scales. Striving for Balance, Harmony, Equality, Beauty and most of all Relationship, Libra will tend to compromise, negotiate or agree his way to resolution. Be careful though, he's not always as passive he seems and, as a Cardinal sign, has the force to get things moving (Cardinal signs initiate each of the four seasons). Libra often draws on his opposite, Aries and fights hard to achieve results. Libra can be a behind-the-scenes motivator which may even show up as being passive-aggressive. Make sure to identify the real motive behind the sweet smile! As an Air sign, Libra tends to be extremely intelligent seeing both sides of a conflicted situation. As a result, he can often appear indecisive. When he remembers what his true values are, the choice becomes clearer. Mostly, this is a moon period oriented toward 'The Other'. Libra is driven to find the ideal partner with whom he can enter the social world with grace and refinement. He seeks to have his environment radiate Beauty, elegance and color so it is often filled with valuable objects d'Art.

VOID OF COURSE NOTE: Notice that the Moon is VOID OF COURSE most of Sunday the 12th. Actions initiated during this time will tend not to have the desired result unless you are doing inner creative or reflective work, you're doing something over that didn't succeed the first time or your intention is for your action not to work out.  (SEARCH APRIL7th POST for more on VOID OF COURSE MOON.)

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Venus in Gemini at 2:01am EDT on June 15th. We are blessed with a double whammy of Venus now, by Rulership and Last Aspect! Relationships are likely to be easier during this time, with the exception of Tuesday evening approaching 7:32pm EDT when the Moon opposes Uranus. This ease depends, of course, where your natal Moon resides in your chart. If your Moon is in another Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn), making a square or opposition to Libra, this may not be such a harmonious time! Actions initiated during this moon period, particularly in the area of Love, Art and Relationship will tend to have EXCELLENT results. Things may flow so easily, however, that not much gets accomplished. We can feel lazy or spend a lot of money (Venus rules money). With two air signs in harmonious aspect, this may also be a time when love is able to be communicated - though be careful to express your feelings as well as your thoughts.

SCENE FOR THE DAY: THE ENGLISH PATIENT, 1996; Writer/Director: Anthony Minghella. This is one of the most unique and romantic love scenes in cinema! Venus finds her way into World War II as soulful Juliette Binoche's Nurse Hana takes graceful flight in an Italian cathedral to witness magnificent works of art. Her lover, bomb disposal-man Kip, played by Naveen Andrews, surprises her with this thrilling and innovative 'joyride' as an expression of his Love. Their relationship acts to balance the doomed relationship between Kristen Scott Thomas' Katherine and Ralph Fiennes' unforgettable Hungarian Count Laszlo de Almasy.
