DAILY ASTROLOGY: JULY 28-30

MOON VOID OF COURSE from 11:13am until 2:17pm EDT on Thursday July 28th. Actions concerning creative work, inner life, dreams and the imagination initiated at this time will tend to have GREAT results. Important practical actions, projects or agreements will tend to have CHALLENGING results. SEE APRIL 7th POST for more info on VOID OF COURSE MOONS.

MOON ENTERS GEMINI 2:17pm EDT on Thursday July 28th and remains until 7:46am EDT on Saturday July 30th. This is possibly the most exciting few days of the month to initiate projects! Ruled by Mercury, the Gemini period offers us GREAT mental and communicative resources. It also rules short distance travel and is perfect a time to begin a summer trip. Remember this Mutable Air sign is the Messenger of the Gods and has wings on his feet. We have to be careful we're grounded and dependable and don't change our minds too often. Our words must have substance so others can count on us. In sports like tennis and golf (I'm in Florida at the moment), it's all about the follow-through! Attention might also be on siblings at this time. Check in with them - a hello can go a long way now.

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Gemini Moon Sextile Uranus in Aries at 7:46am EDT on Saturday July 30th. This aspect reflects the spark of inspiration, if not genius, that is available to us! Actions aligned with the above description are likely to have EXCELLENT results. Writers, especially if you're working electronically and sending manuscripts out on-line, make sure you take advantage of this time. Mind processes, logical as well as leaps of imagination, should be on fire now. Again, this is a GREAT time for short distance travel, speaking engagements and even social conversing. The caution is to watch the gossip, stay grounded and dependable and try to be aware when the Trickster is having a go at you! Even if there's some momentary barriers to the result you want, things will tend to work out very well.

 

SCENE OF THE DAY: Proof, 2005; Director: John Madden. Adapted by playwright David Auburn from his stage play. This extraordinary film contains another one of my top five AHA moments! Harmonious Last Aspects to Uranus are affording us this exciting window of time for these experiences. Brilliant mathematician Catherine, poignantly and powerfully played by Gwenyth Paltrow is torn between acknowledging her own talent and stealing the limelight from her famously brilliant mathematician father Robert, played by a nothing short of brilliant Anthony Hopkins. In this scene a proof is discovered, the creator of which is in dispute. Robert's student Hal, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, brings the proof to other mathematicians to evaluate the authorship, while we witness the true author in action. This scene so perfectly captures that moment when the inspiration hits. Gemini brilliance met by the spark of genius inspiration Uranus. The Sextile or 60 degree aspect (angle) that the Moon makes to Uranus reflects the opportunity available.
