DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: JUNE 15-17

MOON enters SCORPIO at 9:18am EDT Wednesday June 15th, after being VOID OF COURSE early morning, until Friday June 17th at 9:52 am EDT.  Ruled by Pluto, the Scorpio Moon often reflects an intensely emotional period. A Fixed Water sign, the Scorpio myth penetrates the depths of one's psyche with the drive for transformation. It suggests a passionate time - emotionally, sexually, financially and circumstantially when possession and desire rule the day. Power games may be played by strong egos. We are likely to feel pressure upon us, especially as the Moon waxes toward the Full Moon on Monday morning. Feelings we have denied or been unwilling to communicate may now finally force their way out.

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Conjunct Mars in Scorpio at 9:52am EDT on Friday June 17th. This aspect will tend to heighten the already intense quality of the Scorpio Moon. Mars reflects the Warrior and in Scorpio is likely reflect a volatile time as the Moon conjoins it. This period may offer us emotional eruptions on the one hand or the opportunity for great resources and resourcefulness on the other. It is a time when caution and consciousness will serve us well. Often an explosion can clear the air, eventually giving us the empty space required the deep change we seek. Or this may just reflect a time for great sex! Generally, actions initiated during this time are likely to have CHALLENGING results - unless your trying to pull off an arduous task that requires incredible endurance, a very strong will.
 
SCENE FOR THE DAY: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, 2005; Director: Ang Lee. Long repressed emotional tension is released in this cathartic scene by these now classic characters, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, played intimately on so many levels by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal respectively. In a culture where cowboys are the ultimate rugged male archetype, their sexual love is forbidden and dangerous. Ennis and Jack, both reserved personalities, finally confront each other, acknowledging how difficult their separate lives have become. If you somehow missed this film, it is a must see! The care with which Lee treats his characters evokes a kind of universal empathy in we who witness, as their situation is reflective of so many our paths not taken.
