AUGUST 1-3: EXCELLENT SAGITTARIUS MOON

MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS on Tuesday, August 2 at 8:01am EDT after a VOID OF COURSE early morning. It remains here until Thursday, August 3 at 5:38pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Trine Uranus in Aries. This is an exciting time to take off on a summer adventure. There may be some twists and turns that you didn't expect but it all should turn out very well. With all this Sag/Aries Fire (and the Sun in Leo gives us a wide Grand Trine in Fire) it should be a passionate, creative and independent journey or project. If you add a spiritual or philosophical Truth-seeking quest to your agenda it would be even more fulfilling. Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius symbolizes publishing, so it's a great time to push SEND on your computer for your latest writing project! Fire signs can be a bit self-oriented, so make sure you pay attention to others during this Moon period. The Jupiter archetype keeps its focus on the bigger picture, so if you remember to be aware of the details, actions initiated during this time along these themes tend to have EXCELLENT resolutions.

SAGITTARIUS SCENE: Eat Pray Love, 2010; Director: Ryan Murphy; Adapted from the novel by Elizabeth Gilbert. Not one of my favorite films, but the theme of embarking on a meaningful journey to seek one's Truth is not a hugely popular subject for commercial feature films. And here we can begin to understand why. After a long two hours of exotic country-hopping, meditating and culinary delights, Julia Roberts, as author Gilbert, finally finds 'her word' - her Truth. But by this time, we feel rather hit over the head with too many other words of wisdom on 'how to get it right.' Philosophy is a very difficult subject to address on film without becoming preachy or sappy; and for me - a devout believer in exotic country-hopping, meditating and culinary delights - Eat Pray Love becomes both. Who, though, can resist the vibrant visuals of farmers markets, gorgeous mountain and sea locations as well as the beautiful sunlit faces of Roberts, Javier Bardem, James Franco and Billy Crudup?!
