MAY 27-29: CHALLENGING CANCER MOON

MOON ENTERS CANCER at 7:24am EDT on Saturday, May 27 after a VOID OF COURSE early morning and remains here until Monday, May 29 at 2:59 am. Important actions initiated during the V/C Moon period tend not to work out as planned. It's best to use this time for inner creative work or planning future action. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon in Cancer Square Uranus in Aries. This may be a highly emotional period as this Cardinal Water Moon is strong in its own sign and expresses the Feminine archetype of The Mother dramatically. It reflects a very subjective period when we tend to take things more personally than at other times. We may be moody or changeable in the expression of our feelings. Try to stand in the other's shoes and breathe through tension, knowing that this too shall pass. Heightened sensitivity can have invaluable rewards as long as we experience it as objectively as possible. We'll tend to want to stay close to home and the security of family and the past. With the Square to Uranus, an event begun now is likely to end in an unexpected upset, a breaking apart, around home and family, especially involving women. Someone may assert their independence from another who attempts to keep them close. Use your deep Feminine wisdom of receptivity and really listen in order to heal wounds. While actions initiated during this time tend to have CHALLENGING results, the optimum expression would be to consciously take care of our loved ones, even it it's only to cook a nourishing meal before they take off to find their own way.

SCENE FOR THE DAY:  Precious, 2009; Director: Lee Daniels. This Sundance film is an extreme case scenario of a Mother and Daughter /Moon Square Uranus disconnect...to put it mildly. Lack of education, self-esteem and money - not to mention a case of major male domination - all serve to sever any chance of a nurturing relationship between these two dramatically powerful characters. In this scene we are privy to the truth behind the anger the two women have for each other. Daughter Precious finally and courageously asserts her independence from her neglectful mother. Academy Award nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe uses her real life circumstances to create her character's quiet volcanic brewing of emotion while Mo'Nique, who plays her explosive Mother Mary, takes home a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
