JANUARY 26-28: EXCELLENT GEMINI MOON

MOON ENTERS GEMINI at 12:40pm EST on Friday, January 26 after a VOID OF COURSE morning. It remains in Gemini until Sunday, January 28 at 5:39am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Uranus in Aries. Important practical actions tend to not to have good resolutions during the V/C period. It's best to use this time for inner creative work or planning future action. The Gemini Moon is ruled by Mercury and is an exciting time for writers/speakers/travelers...or for anyone having to use their noggin to do some fast thinking. Uranus is the higher resonance of Mercury; it is higher consciousness and reflects moments of enlightenment. Ideas should come in a flurry so it might help to keep a journal nearby. Both Mercury and Uranus can be impulsive, so try to be patient and take a deep breath before you speak. The Trickster Archetype is in play now. Stay grounded. Make sure your statements remain within the context of your project, you don't go off on tangents, misinterpret or get fooled. If in doubt, get confirmation. Actions initiated during this Moon period will tend to have Excellent resolutions.

GEMINI SCENE FOR THE DAY: The Interpreter, 2005; Director: Sydney Pollack. African born  United Nations interpreter Silvia Broome (Kidman) overhears the whisper of a death threat for visiting African leader Zuwani who is accused of the genocide of his people. She comes under the protection of Federal Agent Keller (Sean Penn) who is unclear what her real role is in this mystery. While Broome's character depends on Mercury's words and their precise meanings, Keller is all instinct - reading faces and behavior. She fears for the safety of her brother and ex-lover in Africa while he has just lost his wife in a car accident. The two develop compassion for each other's suffering and bond over poignant cultural differences. In the end they feel like two sides of the same coin - after what her Ku culture would call being cappella - on opposite sides of the river.  The Trickster steals a few scenes but, as  murder-mystery convention would have it, the bad guys get it in the end! One of my all-time favorite films. Currently on Showtime.
