AUGUST 31- SEPTEMBER 2: CHALLENGING CAPRICORN MOON

MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN at 4:18am EDT on Thursday, August 31 and remains here until Saturday, September 2 at 12:30pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Uranus in Aries. Ruled by Saturn, this Cardinal Earth sign rules form and structure: authority figures, business, government and bodily systems such as skeletal and dental - elements that harden or crystalize. The square to Uranus is likely to reflect an upset or unexpected change in these arenas or a breaking apart of some structure. Because Uranus is in Mars-ruled Aries, the disruption could entail aggression or being impulsive. Revolution is in the air. Be cautious now and keep your balance. Mercury is still retrograde, so any business decisions should be carefully studied and perhaps postponed until it settles into Direct motion after September 8. We're likely to see more governmental upsets and sudden changes. Actions initiated during this Moon period tend to have CHALLENGING results.

CAPRICORN SCENE OF THE DAY: Metropolis, 1927; Director: Fritz Lang. This classic German Expressionist silent film is one of the original workers-unite-to-revolution film. Freder, son of Metropolis' ruler, discovers how the proletariat class suffers and empathizes with their plight. The woman he loves is 'cloned' into a robot which incites the workers to revolt in order to destroy the city. Expressionism reigned supreme at this time and the black and white set design supports the style's elements of heightened drama, bold camera angles, imbalance and tension in most every scene. The futuristic design is associated with dark authoritarian government. After viewing this short collection of scenes, we can only hope the mad-man mentality this early film style reflects is left in the past.
