MAY 3-6: CHALLENGING CAPRICORN MOON

MOON REMAINS IN SAG until 8:50pm EDT on Thursday, May 3 when it goes VOID OF COURSE. At 10:06pm the MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN where it remains until Sunday, May 6 at 9:48am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Uranus in Aries. Ruled by Saturn, this Cardinal Earth sign wants to produce results! The Last Aspect, however, reflects that unexpected circumstances are likely to block success. Capricorn's ambitious climb to the top can be thwarted now because of its resistance to be open to new ideas or technologies - or that these tools become an obstruction of some kind. Saturn/Capricorn symbolizes traditional structures and beliefs. It represents conventional authority which currently is most often associated with patriarchal values. The Uranus-ruled New Age continues to confront the old forms, like a wake-up call, until change is accomplished. This is a universal cycle which periodically comes to a climax. Uranus in Aries will keep squaring the Capricorn Moon until Uranus ingresses to Taurus on May 15. In general, actions initiated during this Moon period tend to have Challenging resolutions.

CAPRICORN FILM SCENE: Loveless, 2017, Russia; Director: Andrey Zvagintsev. This award winning film (British BFI Best Film Award; Cannes Jury Prize; César Award for Best Foreign Film, is the latest film by the Golden Globe winner of Best Foreign Film for Leviathan in 2014. It is a study in traditional family structures breaking down which Capricorn seems to know only too well. The recurring square to Uranus in Aries has been testing all conventional forms this last year. And, of course, it is the child of a loveless marriage that suffers most dramatically. This child, Alyosha, played by a convincing Matvey Novikov, bolts. We don't know much about him, or any of the characters for that matter, for character development doesn't seem to be the point. We just know he knows he's not wanted by either parent - and they are in the middle of a divorce. I'd bail too. Much of the film is the search for Alyosha. The volunteer system in place for search and rescue, after police work has quickly run its course, is nothing short of impressive. One is left wondering if the US has anything like it. But the primary question that lingers, besides wondering whether the boy will be found and in what state, is 'will this event transform the parents' relationship?' This is Zvagintsev's devastating statement on a nihilistic modern Russia, preoccupied by a Uranian electronic world of cell phones and big tv screens. If it doesn't work, throw it away; it can easily be replaced - as we witness both parents already in new relationships. One can't help but imagine how little hope for success these new partnerships have. In spite of the dreary subject, there is something elegant and compelling about the telling. It is beautifully photographed and its images reflect the content. Loveless is a Uranian wake-up call for Capricorn Russia to remember its heart - to break it wide open. It is, after all, the Motherland.
