DAILY ASTROLOGY IN FILM: OCTOBER 22-24

MOON IN LEO from 2:34pm EDT on Saturday October 22 until 7:21am Monday October 24. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Uranus in Aries. Ruled by the Sun, this Fixed Fire Moon sign is likely to signify a time of great exuberance, unique creativity and the desire for freedom of expression. Actions initiated during this time will tend to have EXCELLENT resolutions! We will want to have fun during this Moon period, maybe even push the envelope towards radical behavior. You may just have a peak higher-conscious experience now. We'll want to assert our independence and honor our off-the-grid communities. Just be conscious of not stealing the limelight from others who may want to shine now as well!  

SUN ENTERS SCORPIO TODAY, Saturday October 22 at 6:46pm EDT and remains until November 21st at 3:23pm EDT. Witness that circumstances direct your attention towards the deeper, more psychological aspects of life at this time. Ruled by Pluto and traditionally by Mars (before Pluto was discovered in 1930) this Fixed Water sign is emotional in a way that feels primordial - raw, fundamental, original feelings that make us human. The drive towards experiencing our sexuality, the desire to possess and the jealousy, anger or war that is often the result - these are the base Scorpio expressions. They can, however teach us and guide us towards the more conscious manifestations of the archetype - the Creator or the Healer. Because Scorpio also learns from death, near-death or metaphorical death experiences, in its most evolved expression it is driven towards Transformation and the fullest knowledge of Life. It is able to let go of one way of being and move into another - not an easy task. We may also notice that more mundane events ask us deal with financial matters as Scorpio reflects the drive to Control and to maintain Power. Being aware of our money as well as others' resources makes these qualities, especially self-control and personal empowerment, more attainable. Always be conscious, though, the advice for working with these strong forces is that they always be used in service for the benefit of others.
SCENE OF THE DAY: Pirate Radio, 2009; Writer/Director: Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill). Getting back to the Leo Moon...This film is a hoot - a comedy with wonderful characters! A band of renegade British DJ's who broadcast their rock 'n roll from a ship anchored in the middle of the North Sea. They are Leonine in their fun-loving spirit and Uranian in their rebellious demand for freedom of self-expression - which, I might add, a Saturnian government tries to shut down. Remember Uranus symbolizes 'new and innovative ideas' whereas Saturn reflects traditional structures. The completely lovable cast is led by Bill Nighy and Philip Seymour Hoffman at the top of their game. If you haven't seen this film, this Leo Moon is the perfect time to invite friends over for dinner, a movie and a great time!
