MOON IS VOID OF COURSE ALL DAY! (from 5:05am EDT on Thursday September 29 until 2:52am Friday September 30.) The Void of Course Moon is the in-between place the Moon travels through after leaving one sign and before entering a new sign. It tends not to be a time to make any important practical agreements, begin any project, make any important purchases or take any trip you want to resolve successfully. This does tend to be the highly creative time of the dream world or liminal space of the imagination. It is irrational, symbolic and often mysterious. Entering this 'void' offers us opportunities for great insights. Fruits will be born of this time if used appropriately. So, let's give it a CHALLENGING time for practical projects or agreements etc. and GREAT time for works of the imagination.
SCENE OF THE DAY: Wild Strawberries, 1957; Sweden; Director: Ingmar Bergman. Bergman was the one of the masters of symbolic film. This dream sequence, featuring Victor Sjostrom, depicts the inner life of an elderly professor about to receive a lifetime achievement award from his university. He looks back on his life, faces his future death and transforms himself through the process. This is what is available to us when entering the creative void of course field. Notice the bleached effect of the whites in the frame which, after the dissolve from the professor's laying down to sleep, is one of Bergman's cinematic indicators of 'the dream state'.
