NOVEMBER 8-10: VEILED ELECTION DAY and THE AFTERMATH

MOON IS VOID OF COURSE from 7:55am EDT until 3:45pm on Tuesday November 8. The energy is best used in creative and internal work. Important practical actions, such as VOTING, are likely to not turn out as planned or expected. Most of Election Day carries this in-between, inconclusive quality. SEE NOV. 6-8 POST for suggestion on best time to vote.
MOON ENTERS PISCES at 3:45pm and remains until Thursday Nov. 10 at 6:16pm. Ruled by Neptune, either confusion and deception take over the rest of this already nebulous voting day or somehow the more optimum expression of the archetype - unity, artistic expression and the Divine - shows up through prayer or mystical intervention! LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Venus in Sagittarius. Given that our global collective appears to be lost in some Neptunian illusion most of the time - thanks to most forms of modern media - and, because so many of us respond to the overwhelming nature of our world by escaping through drugs, alcohol, movies or denial, unconsciousness will likely rule the day. With the Square to Venus, the question arises as to whether yesterday's more advantageous Sextile to Feminine Venus will be undermined. Actions initiated during this time will tend to have a CHALLENGING resolution. And it's quite likely that the days that follow the election result will continue to be colored by these amorphous Neptunian qualities.

 SCENE FOR THE DAY: Manchurian Candidate, 1962; Director: John Frankenheimer; Screenwriter: George Axelrod; Based on the novel by Richard Condon. The most diabolical cinematic political Neptunian deception I'm aware of is wrought by the legendary character of Mrs. Eleanor Shaw Iselin, originally played/owned by Angela Lansbury. (Meryle Streep plays this role in the 2004 remake, but as much as I respect her talent, she doesn't hold a candle to Lansbury here.) In this scene she lays out her plan to insure her husband becomes the next President of the United States. Using the Chinese technique of brainwashing via the image of the Queen of Diamonds playing card, she controls her son Raymond, played by the intense Laurence Harvey. She instructs her pawn how to kill the people who stand in their way. If you haven't seen this original production, featuring the compelling Frank Sinatra and Janet Leigh of Psycho fame, you don't know what you're missing! I won't speak to the many stories of the reality of this terrifying mind-control practice, but every time I see GWBush sitting in front of the school children in Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 and not budging when he is evidently told by Secret Service of the Trade Towers bombing, my fantasy is that he is also being told not to move until ordered to do otherwise. What conscious human being in control of his faculties - especially the supposed leader of a country - wouldn't react immediately, if not mid-sentence, upon hearing such news? I'm just sayin...
