In prior years I would wear my film critic hat or my intuitive hat but never did the twain meet (not unless I was making Academy Award predictions; oh, the Oscar pools I’ve won). In this Brave New World, though, I feel it necessary to integrate my various entities. So I had great fun appearing on Deep Night, the podcast by comedian Dale Seever. We talked about magic and medicine of all varietals, including the 2017 Oscars, bald eagles, spirit guides, Mother Mary, and such films as All That Jazz, In the Mood for Love, and The Wiz. That Dale is quite a rascal; take a listen.
Today’s New Moon is in coolly compassionate Aquarius, and is defined by a square between Venus in Pisces (love, love and more love) and tough-lesson Saturn in break-the-mold Sagittarius. In English (not asstro-speak), this new moon is all about impersonally dealing with your personal blocks, especially in terms of how they hold you back from embracing humanity-at-large. Astrological shifts tend to occur just when we need them most, and it’s time for us to check our privilege, our personal biases, and our laziness so we can more fully resist this anti-humanitarian (read: anti-Aquarian) regime. In other words, this will be a powerful lunar cycle if we use it to march into a bigger picture. Goddess knows I’m looking at the woman in the mirror and lacing up my combat boots.
This is Virginia Bell. She is not only a gifted astrologer but a lovely friend and mentor whom I trust implicitly. Once a year, I consult her professionally and, with big-picture perspective and kind wisdom, she helps chart a path that aligns me with my calling and the lessons I must court given the astrological aspects coming into the play. She cites such wide-ranging sages as Jane Austen, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Marianne Williamson, Rumi, and Jung, and connects my chart to those of our country and world, which I love since I ardently believe no human trajectory exists in a vacuum. Every visit she offers me a guiding catchphrase and question to consider. This year’s catchphrase: “Creative chaos.” The question: “Where am I thinking too small?” Gosh, I just love her.
