FEBRUARY 3-5: VOID OF COURSE → CHALLENGING LIBRA MOON

From the Persian BOOK OF ISKANDAR

MOON IS VOID OF COURSE all day on Saturday, February 3 until 4:47pm EST. At this time the MOON ENTERS LIBRA and remains here until Monday, February 5 at 1:46pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Uranus in Aries. Saturday is likely to be a day when not much practical work is accomplished and most practical actions initiated during this Void of Course period are likely not to work out as planned. (I set this post to be emailed between 7-9am, and it didn't go out...take 2)! It's best to use this time for inner creative work or planning future actions.
The LIBRA MOON is ruled by Venus, which suggests that relationships are center stage. The Opposition to Uranus reflects that actions initiated during this time, particularly in this area of life, will experience tension and possibly separation. Libra strives for balance, justice and equality; Uranus in Aries, on the other hand, is driven to assert its individuality, independence and self-importance. The challenge is to negotiate these two divergent inclinations and find a way be together in a liberated, self-realized way. Libra also symbolizes lower courts (courts whose opinions can be overruled by higher courts, symbolized by Sag). If it weren't the weekend we might hear some interesting events on the news in this regard. We'll want to have Beauty around us and aesthetically pleasing experiences during this Moon period so take time to make that happen. Don't allow the impatient and impulsive nature of Uranus in Aries get in the way. Otherwise actions initiated during this time are likely to have CHALLENGING results.

LIBRA SCENE FOR THE DAY: Blue Valentine, 2010; Director: Derek Cianfrance. Michelle Williams (My Week With Marilyn, Incendiary) and Ryan Gosling (La La Land, The Believer) are a the classic modern married couple: originally madly in love and now, the once balanced scales have tipped. They are so out of sync that, while the relationship seems to remain center stage, their respective perspectives can't find a place to meet. They can't find the language to connect and don't know where to go from here. While they please each other aesthetically and clearly feel a strong connection, his aggressive nature and  impulsive spirit serve to divide them irreparably. Williams and Ryan are compelling to witness as they see-saw between creating and destroying whatever it is they have. This film is an unusual cinematic love story because it lacks the clever plot points which show clearly the whys and wherefores of changes in character. The editing between past and present seems to be in search of where love goes when it...goes. Sometimes the reasons elude us.
