DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: OCTOBER 5-6

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS with LAST ASPECT TRINE URANUS from 3:26am EDT Wednesday Oct. 5 until 1:26am Oct.7. This is a Great time to set out on an Adventure, especially one where you welcome new and exciting innovations in your life! This is a time for Truth Seeking and philosophy. These are the High Holy Days in Judaism when attention is turned towards higher truths and our purpose in the world. With the blowing of the Shofar, it is a Wake Up call (Uranus) to our collective and personal awareness of who we want to be in the world. After the Scorpio Moon of going deep into our psyche, the Sag Moon is a time for Action. Find your own religion (see Thomas Moore's A Religion of One's Own) Walk your talk! Speak your Truth. This is also a perfect time for Publishing your thoughts - especially self electronic publishing. The only caution for this Jupiter- ruled Mutable Fire sign is excess and arrogance. Don't try to convince others that yours is the only  Truth. Each of us must find our own way. Remember, Sagittarius reflects the need for independence and Freedom. Saturn's passage through Sagittarius for three years (Dec. 24, 2014 - Dec. 20, 2017) is highlighting traditional religions - their wisdom and their limitations. This is a ripe moment to examine your true relationship to your spiritual life  - a waking up. Actions initiated during this period - especially in these philosophical areas - will tend to have EXCELLENT results!
 
INTO THE WILD, 2007; Director and Screenwriter: Sean Penn based on the book by Jon Krakauer. I couldn't think of any film more apropos for the Sag Moon than this tribute to truth seeker Chris McCandless. He sells most all his belongings to free himself for the ultimate adventure going out into the wild to discover who he really might be. He doesn't look to popular pilgrimages for his journey, but creates his own path. McCandless' trek into northern California and the Alaskan wilderness entered legendary status as a result of Krakauer's published re-imagining and Penn's film which is enhanced by its transporting Eddie Vedder soundtrack. Philosopher Thoreau is quoted as inspiration in this clip. Though his journey didn't end well for him there was a certain enlightenment for and self-respect he attained; and it certainly offered inspiration for others to witness his active commitment to a self-created philosophical belief.
