AUGUST 15-17: CAUTIOUSLY GOOD GEMINI MOON

MOON ENTERS GEMINI at 10:06am EDT, after a VOID OF COURSE early morning, and remains in Gemini until Thursday, August 17 at 9:38am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Uranus in Aries. Ruled by Mercury, this Mutable Air sign is a great time for writing, speaking, gathering information and traveling. The Sextile to Uranus reflects an exciting, though unexpected and changeable, period where new ideas and imaginative projects will come through. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury so opportunities are heightened for its archetype. You might discover that creativity comes through spontaneous speaking or writing stream-of-conscious thoughts - what Jung refers to as automatic writing. The unconscious can be revealed and radical magic can happen! This could be a wonderful time to take off on a short-distance journey, keeping in mind that Mercury is in its tricky 3-day after turning Retrograde period. Remember keys, directions and money! Re-confirm previously made plans and agreements. While flexibility should come easy when twists and turns to your plans appear, with all this Fire and Air it's important to keep to your center, find your container and ground yourself. The theme of 'two's' may become prevalent now reflecting the twins of Gemini. Writers! This may a good time to send out re-edited work (or some form of re-doing - because of the Mercury Retrograde) on-line. For first submissions, though it's tempting, I'd wait if you can until Mercury clears after September 8. Actions initiated during this time along these themes tend to have CAUTIOUSLY GOOD results.

GEMINI SCENE FOR THE DAY: Talk To Her, 2002, Spain; Director: Pedro Almodóvar. This unusually creative narrative centers around the theme of the power of stream-of-conscious communication. The stories of two women residing in the same hospital are woven together. Benigno, the male nurse for young dancer Alicia, convinces Marco, the love interest of injured bullfighter Lydia, that they can improve the condition of these two comatose dear ones by spending time talking to them. Amazing and surreal visions ensue as this trailer reveals. This is an edgy piece of cinema in which radical magic happens: communication as dialogue and movement - as only Mercury/Uranus can reflect!
