NOVEMBER 23-25: GOOD AQUARIUS MOON

After a VOID OF COURSE DAY, MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS at 3:14pm EST on Thursday, November 23 and remains here until Saturday, November 25 at 9:37pm. At this time the MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE for the rest of the night. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Saturn in Sagittarius. During the lengthy V/C periods, we are likely to feel like not much is being accomplished. It behooves us not to initiate important practical actions during this time. Best to wait until the Moon enters Aquarius. Enjoy the slow fluidity of Thanksgiving and the accessibility to the imagination that the Void of Course Moon offers. This Fixed Water Sign has Saturn as its traditional ruler, before Uranus, its modern ruler was discovered in 1781. So Aquarius feels very comfortable with this Last Aspect. The Sextile indicates an active and harmonious relationship where opportunities are likely to be available. Aquarius, as Water Bearer, bestows its knowledge in broad circulation. Uranus rules the digital world - so this is a GOOD time to distribute information or publish writing on the internet. The conventional world meets the New Age. Maintaining past traditions that still work can support innovative and enlightened thought. Aquarius/Uranus can deliver the unexpected. May your Thanksgiving Day bring you an enlightening surprise!

AQUARIUS SCENE FOR THE DAY: West Wing, "The US Poet Laureate," Season 3 Episode 16, 2002; Director: Christopher Misiano; Writer: Aaron Sorkin. Though I couldn't find a clip for this scene, I couldn't resist telling you about it...Laura Dern plays the poet with a major resistance to landmines. She won't attend the dinner in her honor unless she gets to speak out against their use. Communications Director Toby Ziegler (Richard Schiff) has a hard time talking her down. He tries to tell her it's disastrously bad political timing. After she has a bit of a breakdown (before breakthrough) she realizes, while having an enlightened Uranian position, she doesn't know about the bigger political picture and is willing to listen to Saturnine Toby. They simultaneously see the opportunity for a compromise and she's satisfied with the deal. The dialogue is so beautifully written and so open-heartedly delivered. I wish I could offer it to you here and now. But today I'm just thankful for Sorkin's imagination.
