MOON ENTERS CANCER on Thursday, May 17 at 5:47pm EDT after being in Gemini until 2:18pm. (Moon is VOID OF COURSE from 5:47pm - 2:18pm). MOON REMAINS IN CANCER until Saturday, May 19 at 5:14pm. LAST ASPECT OF CANCER MOON: Moon Sextile Sun in Taurus. We haven't had a great Cancer
Moon for a LONG time! Because Uranus has been in late degrees of Aries
for more than a year, we've seen mostly Challenged Cancer Moons, with
Last Aspects Square to Uranus. Now that Uranus is in Taurus (note: it
retrogrades back to Aries in November to March '19) we'll see more
possibilities for easier Cancer Moon periods. Mothers
say Hallelujah!
The Feminine Archetype is released and home, family, food and nurturing
of all kinds is highlighted. With the Sextile to the Sun in Taurus, opportunities are available for all these qualities to yield great benefits. The Moon, Cancer's natural
ruler, also rules public sentiment. With the aspect to the Sun in Taurus this Moon period offers
the opportunity to find a strong sense of self-worth and put your true
Self out there in public view. Having the courage to do this should have very
positive results. Remember Chiron's recent ingress into Aries is also
focused on this theme, so stand up and present yourself, even if
its only to your inner circle! Of course, this is also a wonderful time to stay home, create fabulous meals to share with ones you love. Actions initiated during this Cancer Moon are likely to have EXCELLENT resolutions.
CANCER FILM SCENE: Little Women, 1949; Director: Mervyn Le Roy. June Allyson, Peter Lawford, Janet Leigh, Margaret O'brien and Elizabeth Taylor star in this classic adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel. The family saga of four daughters and their mother, living in Concord, Massachusetts, navigating life when their father/husband goes off to war. Jo, played by Allyson, is the modern 'little' woman who wants to be a big writer. We watch her impressive individuation process as she blossoms into an independent woman. She's a perfect example of Moon in Cancer Sextile Sun in Taurus! It's wonderful to see that this film, which is almost eighty years old, still holds up dramatically and emotionally. Though, for some reason, the trailer shown here is in black and white, the film was actually shot in Technicolor. The rich saturation of colors are no longer Hollywood's style, but it's awesome to go back in time to revisit the eye-popping deep reds, blues and greens.
Though it's hard to let go of the gorgeous high contrast of the black and white replica...and then there's the excellent 1994 version directed by Gillian Armstrong (
My Brilliant Career) with Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, Samantha Mathis, Susan Sarandon, Eric Stoltz and Christian Bale. Amazing cast! The plot remains the same, as does the theme it explores: how does a woman negotiate society's expectations for marriage and family with her drive to engage in her own professional work. A constant Cancer consideration...
