MAY 4-6: CHALLENGING VIRGO MOON

MOON ENTERS VIRGO at 5:47am EDT on Thursday, May 4 after a VOID OF COURSE early morning. It remains in Virgo until Saturday, May 6 at 8:42am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Saturn in Sagittarius. We are likely to feel a bit cranky now as our need for order, purity and perfection may not be easily attained. While we strive to maintain our routines, they may now be thwarted for some reason. Saturn may reflect feeling tested by our own over-critical orientation and we just can't seem to get it right. Remember to let yourself and others off the hook now and forgive overlooked details. Make the corrections and get on with it. Look at the bigger goal and be grateful you caught the mistake! Activate the optimum expression of Virgo which is driven to integrate separate parts of the puzzle to make a whole. Also try to use this time for Spring Cleaning! Ruled by Mercury, communications and schedules need verification and vehicles should be checked, especially since we're in the shadow period of Mercury turning Direct. (It clears on May 8th but first Good Day to initiate projects is the 11th after 12: 59pm.) This is the last chance to take advantage of the numinous quality of Mercury's Retrograde period. Writers - get to work and let your imagination take you to exciting new places! Just be patient and wait till the 11th or 12th to publish or mail applications. In general, actions initiated during this period tend to have CHALLENGING results.

SCENE FOR THE DAY:As Good as it Gets, 1997; Director: James L. Brooks. One of my all-time favorite romantic comedies starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear. This is stretching Virgo's most annoying drive for perfection, cleanliness, order and routines, but Nicholson's obsessive behavior in this scene is just too absurdly funny not to screen here! Both Nicholson and Hunt won Academy Awards for their performances in this unique and endearing classic.
