DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: SEPTEMBER 21-23

MOON IN GEMINI from 0:53am EDT Wednesday Sept. 21 until Friday Sept. 23 at 2:57am. Ruled by Mercury, this Mutable Air sign tends to heighten our ability to express ourselves, particularly our emotions, though we might tend to be more rational about it than emotive. You may notice people being more curious and communicative than usual. People are more easily mobile as if they were flying around on Mercury's wings. Wit often comes more readily. Air signs tend to be somewhat detached so don't be surprised if conversations change topics quickly and don't necessarily go into much depth.   

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Venus in Libra at 2:57am EDT on Friday September 23. This is a time for speaking words of love! Just remember we're in Mercury's turning Direct period so just make sure you're interpreting the words accurately. Actions initiated during this period tend to have a GOOD result...again, only because of the direction change of Mercury. Be patient and be willing to wait for this result! Writers and speakers should be able to accomplish some good work at this time, though I wouldn't recommend submitting articles at this time. In general, conversations seem to flow easily, moving quickly from one subject to the next and relationships tend to feel harmonious. I once heard the aphorism: Love is a function of communication. Makes you think... 

SUN ENTERS LIBRA at 9:22am EDT on Thursday September 22 and we have THE VERNAL EQUINOX. Day and Night are (nearly) equal in duration. The Sun remains in Libra until Saturday October 22 at 6:45pm EDT. The Sun in this Cardinal Air sign will continue to focus on Relationships for this period. We'll strive more ardently for justice and equality. Beauty and Art reign!
MERCURY GOES DIRECT TODAY :031am EDT. Remember the 3-days-after period can be the most intense so keep all precautions in place until the 26th. Make use of this time for Dreaming, Imagining and Preparing. My beloved screenwriting teacher, Frank Daniel, used to say: "There are two types of scenes to write: Action and Preparation for Action. 

SCENE OF THE DAY: Shakespeare in Love, 1998; Director: John Madden. Screenwriter: Tom Stoppard. Words of love were the air Shakespeare breathed. This final sequence is one of my favorites in the film. It's also perfect for entering into the Fall season with a new work of art poised to begin. And with the Gemini Moon Trine Venus words would fly off any poet's tongue!
