APRIL 27-29: CHALLENGING GEMINI MOON

MOON REMAINS IN TAURUS until 9:18pm EDT on Thursday, April 27 when it goes VOID OF COURSE until 9:39pm. SEE APRIL 25 FOR TAURUS INFO. Important practical actions initiated during V/C Moon tend to not work out as planned or desired. It's best to use this energy for inner creative work or planning for future action. MOON ENTERS GEMINI at 9:39pm and remains here until Saturday, April 29 at 5:38pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Saturn in Sagittarius.  Ruled by Mercury, this Mutable Air sign reflects the gathering of information and mentally processing it. Gemini, winged Messenger of the Gods, reflects the inclination to engage in conversation and travel, however, the Saturn Last Aspect indicates that these activities will be blocked or unsuccessful in some way, most likely from external sources. We may encounter exaggerations of the Truth or ethical considerations that hinder our intentions. Check and double check information that comes your way before you act on it. Also check vehicles and schedules, especially because Mercury is still Retrograde and is likely to symbolize delays or breakdowns. Keep your cool and prepare in advance for these changes.

SCENE FOR THE DAY: The Dinner, 2017; Director Oren Moverman. What could be more Geminian Moon Opposite Saturn in Sag than heightened dinner conversation meeting a moral brick wall. Two brothers (sound like Gemini?) played so elegantly by Richard Gere and Steve Coogan, confront a long term family conflict while trying to determine the best action to take to protect their respective sons. Fresh from its world premier at this week's Tribeca Film Festival this provocative narrative questions both personal and social ethical dilemmas. Though I found the first act of the screenplay somewhat annoying, due to Coogan's character hitting his own emotional cinder block wall one too many times, the story changes gears and becomes an incredibly relevant and compelling drama. Rebecca Hall and Laura Linney round out the cast, all with powerful and believable performances.
