SEPTEMBER 9-10: CAUTIOUSLY GOOD TAURUS MOON

MOON IS IN ARIES until 11:52am EDT today Saturday, September 9, when it goes VOID OF COURSE until 12:23pm. See Sept. 7 for Aries info. Important practical actions initiated during the V/C Moon tend not to work out as planned. MOON ENTERS TAURUS at 12:23pm and remains here until Sunday, September 10 at 8:54pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Venus in Leo. Ruled by Venus the Fixed Earth Taurus Moon loves its sensual pleasures and strives to provide security for those he/she loves. He is the Master Builder, so manifesting in the material and financial world is a skill he values and at which he excels. The square to Taurus' ruling planet isn't severe, as Venus is considered the Lesser Beneficent (Jupiter being the Greater) so any hard angles to her suggest minimal stress. But the Moon and Venus are the two major Feminine archetypes, so it may be a little tricky in that arena: Relationships between women may be tested; feelings could get hurt from Taurus' stubbornness in conflict with Leo's desire for acknowledgement and appreciation. The two Fixed signs can be stuck in their ways. This is a lesson in compromise. Venus in Leo is likely to want to be extravagant financially and the practicality of Moon in Taurus resists. Try to see the other's need and be willing to negotiate ways to appreciate each other.

TAURUS SCENE OF THE DAY: Streetcar Named Desire, 1951; Director: Elia Kazan. Two iconic sisters, Stella and Blanche, (Kim Hunter and Vivien Leigh) find themselves in conflict over Stella's husband Stanley, played by the icon himself, Marlon Brando. Written by the legendary playwright Tennessee Williams, both stage and screenplay, each character exudes so much depth and soul it's hard to imagine American literature without them. Both passionately fixed in their ways - Blanche in her desperate clinging to an illusion of past southern elegance with her Leonian need for appreciation and Stella in her Taurean sensuous bond to Stanley. The two sisters clearly love each other but are cut from different cloth. Directed by one of America's iconic film masters, this classic film is not to be missed.
