JANUARY 28-30: CHALLENGNIG CANCER MOON

MOON ENTERS CANCER at 1:57pm EST on Sunday, January 28 after a VOID OF COURSE morning. It remains in Cancer until Tuesday, January 30 at 11:40am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Mercury in Capricorn. Actions initiated during the V/C morning are likely not to work out as planned. It's best to use this time for inner creative work or planning future actions.
We're building towards the Super Blue Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on Wednesday the 31st, so tension is beginning to rise. This climactic event is particularly special because it is the first time since March 1866 that these three conditions have occurred simultaneously: The BLUE MOON is the second Full Moon in a month; the BLOOD MOON refers to the reddish tint of the Eclipse as it passes through the Earth's Shadow: The SUPERMOON refers to the strikingly large lunar disc we observe when the Moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit (Perigee). For now, our hearts and minds are out of sync, so this is a much more emotionally vulnerable period than the average Cancer Moon. We may not say the right thing at the right time and conflicts or irritations may arise as a result. Activities on the home front may get tricky - as in the Trickster archetype (Mercury) may play a surprising hand. Cancer represents the Feminine Archetype so tension is likely to center around relationships with women, particularly Mother. Also pay attention to how you nurture - your communication, food and emotional support. And let's not forget our relationship with Mother Earth. Use your own wiles to navigate the situation back to some semblance of balance - otherwise actions initiated during this Moon period will tend to have very Challenging resolutions.

CANCER SCENE FOR THE DAY: The Fighter: 2010; Director: David O. Russel (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle). The right words are hard to find in this scene when light welterweight boxer Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) tries to stand up to his family, particularly his manager/Mother (Melissa Leo). Family allegiance is at risk here when Micky's girlfriend Charlene (Amy Adams) is the one he turns to for support. Both Leo and Christian Bale, as brother/trainer Dicky, win Oscars for their off-the-charts amazing performances. To play his drug-addicted character Bale dropped almost as much weight for this film as the 63 pounds he shed for The Machinist. That's commitment. (a can of tuna and an apple a day - Foodie Cancers, do not try this at home!) This is a powerful film.
