JULY 12-14: GOOD/FAIR PISCES MOON

 After a VOID OF COURSE morning from 8:40am, the MOON ENTERS PISCES at 11:51 EDT on Wednesday, July 12. It remains here until Friday, July 14 at 1:00pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Mars in Cancer. Pisces is the Mutable Water sign and is ruled by Neptune. This is a very creative and sensitive time. Neptune reflects the 'urge to merge', sacrificing definition and details to the unified whole picture. It's optimum expression is to be connected to the spiritual truth - all is one and one is all - as well as creating or appreciating Beauty in any artistic medium. While the Trine is a harmonious 120 degree angle, any Moon/Mars aspects can be tricky. The optimum scenario reflects the ability to courageously express oneself honestly - to reveal who you truly are while remaining empathetic towards others. The Trine to Mars in Cancer suggests the support for sensitive action as a result of one's compassion. With all this Water, emotions can run high. Because our attention is on the bigger picture, specifics can be missed; confusion and deception are possible results. Draw support from Earthy practical friends for a reality check if you have doubts. This is a great time for a visit to the sea or getting poetically transported! Actions initiated during this Moon period tend to have GOOD/ FAIR resolutions.

SCENE FOR THE DAY: Happy-Go-Lucky, 2008; Writer/Director: Mike Leigh. Golden Globe Best Actress Sally Hawkins, as elementary school teacher Poppy, embodies the Piscean compassionate soul who has the courage to speak her truth and the Martian energy to act on it. Collaborating with director Leigh, she creates a most unusual and unforgettable character. In this scene with Eddie Marsan as her driving coach, she playfully teases him into a a reaction which alerts her to the realization that he is a wounded man. She has the courage to speak to it. Wait for the last few lines. Few directors have the ability to demand the authenticity and commitment to specific layers of psychological reality that reside in a given moment of a character's behavior. Mike Leigh is famous for it, spending six months in rehearsal to achieve it! This comedy/drama/love story is a one-of-a-kind cinematic work of art. See Leigh and Hawkins interviewed here.
