NOVEMBER 11-13: VIRGO MOON

MOON ENTERS VIRGO at 11:41am EST on Saturday, November 11 after a VOID OF COURSE morning. It remains in Virgo until 10:45am on Monday, November 13. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Saturn in Sagittarius. Ruled by Mercury, this Mutable Earth sign is likely to be limited in its natural benefits of clear-headed analysis and discernment. We may encounter the critical and judgmental side of Virgo, so try not to be too affected by someone's controlling need for picky perfection. It's best, instead, to turn our attention towards creating order in our close environments - clean house...in all manner of speaking. Virgo Moons almost always support us in mentally and physically organizing our lives. Virgo loves it when we use our hands to make things! And it's so satisfying to take advantage of its inclination for being useful. In other scenarios though, such as accomplishing Virgonian writing tasks or teaching, actions initiated at this time tend to have Challenging resolutions.

VIRGO SCENE FOR THE DAY: Victoria and Abdul, 2017; Director: Stephen Frears. Judi Dench dons the British crown once again as Queen Victoria embarking on conflict-provoking relationship with a young Muslim visitor to the palace. In this scene we witness her eagerness for Abdul (Ali Fazal) to teach her to write 'Indian' as her jealous children eavesdrop on the other side of the door. Their disapproval sets up the first of their many attempts to put an end to the new friends' increasingly embarrassing closeness. This story is based on the real-life relationship between the Queen and her menshi, or teacher. While the film is uneven and could use more celluloid on the cutting room floor (to use an ancient expression), this is a well-acted and endearing film.
