JULY 19-21: EXCELLENT GEMINI MOON

 MOON ENTERS GEMINI at 3:31am EDT on Wednesday, July 19 and remains here until Friday, July 21 at 1:40am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Uranus in Aries. Ruled by Mercury, this a great time to initiate communication and travel for EXCELLENT results. It's an exciting period where new innovative ideas can be proposed which should be very well received. Our minds are likely to be exploding with creative impulses, gathering new information a mile a minute. It's important to eventually create a grounded container for this information flow to keep it as realistic as possible, but now is the time to brainstorm out of the box! Siblings can join together and find new ways to negotiate issues. Uranus is considered the higher vibration or resonance of Mercury, the planetary archetype of gathering information and being the messenger of it. Given this, as well as the belief that Uranus also reflects higher consciousness, it has been designated as the planetary ruler of Astrology - a system which is very much about gathering information, both scientific and symbolic. This, then would be a perfect time to engage in astrological study. The Sextile to Uranus indicates: Opportunities Abound!

SCENE FOR THE DAY: Elizabeth: The Golden Age, 2007; Director: Shekhar Kapur. I love re-visiting this film for many reasons, but primarily because it engages with the practice of astrology more profoundly than any other film I know. Sourced from Queen Elizabeth's real-life relationship with her personal and court astrologer, John Dee, we witness in this scene the reverence and honor with which the art is practiced and the seriousness with which it is received. Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth and David Threlfall as Dr. Dee exemplify the archetypal relationship of astrologer/client.
