DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: SEPTEMBER 17-18

MOON IN ARIES from 0:22am EDT Saturday Sept. 17 until 4:10pm Sunday Sept. 18. Ruled by Mars, this Cardinal Fire sign reflects the courageous Warrior archetype and, as the number one fire sign, represents the initiating spark of the flame. Here we find inspiration and passion to get most any project started. Whether Aries can complete the job is a completely different story. Best to look to an Earth or Fixed sign to support Aries for that! Most of Aries' enthusiasm tends to be directed at his own work and himself; he can easily forget to look outside himself to see how his blunt comments land on others. It's important at this time that you are conscious of how your way of being affects the Other. Aries often reflects the easy-to-anger persona. Just know that this period may reflect a time when disagreements may easily get fired up to a real fight! Remember your negotiating and compromising skills! If you don't have them, get trained now!

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Mars in Sagittarius at 4:10pm EDT on Sunday Sept. 18. Actions initiated during this Moon period will tend to have VERY GOOD results. Moon in Aries Trining its ruler is a very strong aspect. There's Lots of energy here, both physical and will-driven to support most any project getting off the ground. Take advantage of it - while remembering, of course, that Mercury is still Retrograde and take the necessary precautions...or choose to wait until the 26th. Any Moon/Mars aspect can be tricky in the feelings-getting-hurt-and-getting-angry response, so just be aware of delicate situations.   
SCENE OF THE DAY: Superman, 1978; Director: Richard Donner. This is the wonderful Christopher Reeves version which also features Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder and Glenn Ford. This is the scene where, as a child, Clark Kent lifts his found-parent's truck after it collapses off the tire jack. While shocking the hell out of Kent-the-elders, the boy is completely comfortable with his Warrior abilities right from the get-go. In perfect Aries Moon Trine Mars, he accesses his physical and will power quite naturally, his action having a very successful resolution!
