FEBRUARY 5-8: VOID OF COURSE MOON → CHALLENGING SCORPIO MOON

MOON REMAINS IN LIBRA until 1:46pm EST on Monday, February when it goes VOID OF COURSE for the rest of the day. SEE FEB 3 for LIBRA INFO.  The Void of Course day is likely to be fairly non-eventful and practical actions initiated during this time tend not to produce the desired results. MOON ENTERS SCORPIO at 10:56pm on Monday and remains here until 2:16am on Thursday, February 8. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Square Venus in Aquarius. Ruled by Pluto, this Fixed Water sign is deeply but quietly emotional and reflects the inclination to bond deeply with another.
Both the Moon and Venus symbolize the Feminine archetype so relationships, particularly with or between women may be particularly stressed now with the Square as Last Aspect. Sexual tension may bubble to the surface. Honor each other's feelings and try to get beyond the fear of trusting. Scorpio can be very self-protective, jealous and controlling while Venus in Aquarius definitely needs to assert its equality as well as its need for space! So take a deep breath, let go and be willing to give your partner the independence they may require. It's likely that one partner will be drawn to group engagements while the other wants private one-on-one time. Get creative to satisfy both needs. In the end a remarkable transformation may occur. Scorpio suggests the most primal life force as well as the end of it. So the intensity that this suggests is likely to be present no matter what the circumstances are. Although a situation may feel like life or death, remember most likely it isn't. Both Scorpio and Venus also reflect money or other resources so this area of life may also to be a source of conflict now. In general, actions initiated during this Scorpio Moon will tend to have mildly CHALLENGING resolutions.

SCORPIO SCENE FOR THE DAY: Phantom Thread, 2017; Director: Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood). An unexpected chess game of wills ensues during this unusual 1950's London-based love story between an haute couture designer, Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis in his self-declared final role) and waif-like waitress Alma (Vicky Krieps). Include into the mix a very strong-willed older sister to Woodcock who is used to ruling the roost,  (Leslie Manville) and tension of Scorpionic proportions results. With the couturier's attention and elegant fashions Alma transforms into a confident queen-like companion. We witness a life/death struggle in each character's individuation process. The psychological depth is palpable. It's not exactly a matter of who is controlling and who needs independence - both characters exhibit both qualities at different times. This is a beautifully played and photographed drama where sexual tension abounds, but no sex scenes are to be found. We are mesmerized by these quiet inward characters and when the final twist arrives we are left speechless. Nominated for several Golden Globes and Oscars, the film is in theaters now.
