JANUARY 17-19: CHALLENGING AQUARIUS MOON

MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS on Wednesday, January 17 at 3:32am EST and remains here until 6:25am on Friday, January 19. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Mars in Scorpio. Ruled by Uranus, this Fixed Air Moon is likely to encounter conflicts when attempting to share her bright ideas. In its extreme, this configuration could reflect an angry revolution. Aquarius can be experienced as more emotionally detached than other Moon periods. Don't take aloofness from others personally. Instead, appreciate the opportunity this objectivity affords and step back to evaluate your situation. This is a time for attention on a bigger picture: the community. The challenge will be to demonstrate your unique individuality within that community. Uranus also rules the electronic/digital arena. Our drive will be to distribute information now. If you encounter computer difficulties try another day. In general, actions initiated during this period tend to have CHALLENGING resolutions. If you allow yourself to see the other's perspective and try to come from some sense of equality in diversity you may ease any Martian conflicts that arise.

AQUARIAN SCENE FOR THE DAY: 12 Angry Men, 1957; Director: Sydney Lumet. Here we have a small community in the form of a twelve-man jury deciding the fate of a kid who may or may not have committed murder. We witness the unique personas and perspectives of each of the jury members within the group. While all the other jurors believe the boy is guilty, Henry Fonda leads the cast as the stand-alone juror number 8 who dares to consider that the boy may be innocent. Eventually, the pendulum swings to its opposite position and only one juror maintains the guilty vote. The source of the anger and willfulness of this single juror, played by Lee J. Cobb (the mob boss from On the Waterfront), is ultimately revealed. His painful relationship with his 'unappreciative son' colors his perspective of the accused. Mars in Scorpio can feel like a life or death situation and, as the drama climaxes in this classic film, we see a revolution take place from one to the other. Fonda's steadfast position turns the tide from a knee jerk condemnation to a more egalitarian consideration.
