DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: JULY 30 - AUGUST 1

MOON is VOID OF COURSE from 7:46am to 5:09pm EDT on Saturday July 30. A whole day spent with a V/C Moon would be best served by working on creative work and/or taking care of your inner life - quietly meditating or analyzing your dreams. It is a weekend, so there's a chance you'd actually have some free time for this! These types of activities would tend to have EXCELLENT results. Schedules, agreements, initiating projects etc. will tend to have CHALLENGING results, however. This is a dreamy kind of day where as hard as you try to accomplish something, the hours just seem to slip away. Instead, enter the dreamtime and go with the flow! SEE APRIL 7th POST for more information on V/C Moons. 

MOON ENTERS CANCER at 5:09pm EDT Saturday July 30 and remains until 8:44pm EDT on Monday August 1. The Moon is in her natural sign during this period, so her inherent qualities feel very comfortable expressing themselves. This is a sensitive time, where we tend to feel thin-skinned and emote at the drop of hat. We may take things too personally and fall into moods that are hard to shake off. Women are highlighted as the Moon rules The Feminine Archetype. Our receptive, nurturing traits may have us being willing to house, cook and care for others this weekend. Home and family are the focus.

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Mars in Scorpio at 8:44pm EDT on Monday August 1. We may have some conflict during this homey scenario, some harsh words to rock the houseboat. Mars in Scorpio may even start a war - on the subject of family expenditures, for example. The receptive watery Moon and aggressive firey Mars are difficult bedfellows, even at the best of times. The harmonious Trine angle, however, should find you experiencing GOOD results after the storm. We know how important it is not to repress our feelings and that resolution is often only found by airing our concerns and differences of opinion. Repairing the house with strenuous work (Mars in Scorpio) would be another GREAT way to use this energy. It is a weekend...
 SCENE OF THE DAY: Pride and Prejudice, 2005; Director: Joe Wright. Adapted by Deborah Moggach from Jane Austin's novel. Here the Feminine Moon, Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightly) is fired up in defense of her family which is under attack by Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfayden). One suggested reason is that a suitor's wealth might be the motivation for her sister's interest (Mars in Scorpio). Emotions rise until their true mutual magnetic pull confounds the tension and they are almost visibly repelled. But just for now...It's not much of a spoiler to acknowledge that this classic story has a happy ending! The beneficent Trine at work again.
