Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces


Mia Farrow as Venus in Virgo. Careful, shy, humble. Look at her face at the end of the clip. Neptune in Pisces is what she's looking into: a projected dream, pure fantasy. And she is in love with it, entralled. In the story, her real-life dreams have been broken. Yet the cinematic heaven illuminating & softening her angular little face...suffices. Or does not suffice. It doesn't matter. None of it is real: Neptune & Venus are staring from opposite sides of the screen at each other & it is all happening inside another dream.

Her face here...is the closest image I could find for how this opposition, bound into the kite formation of the current grand water trine, feels. What it feels like to be sitting in the theatre during this particular film: end of July 2013. No illusions will be permitted of us, really (Saturn in Scorpio); the  shocks & manipulations & betrayals are written up there in the sky....the rottenness is palpable. The t-square between Mars, Pluto & Uranus right now feels UGLY. Having Jupiter & Mercury involved doesn't help...I know my mind has felt under some deep dark waters this week.

& yet there is this fragile, humble little dream of redemption binding the pattern together at present. Tenuous as a spider's thread or a frame or two of celluloid or a sentimental old song. & it's nearly over...

Venus is moving out of the opposition with Neptune now & the moon leaves dreamy Pisces this evening to conjunct Uranus in Aries tomorrow & add more emotional fire to the Mars, Pluto, Uranus t-square. Nearly time to wake up from the dream, to leave the cinema, to face whatever difficulty or horror or opportunity the street outside is holding in reserve for you.
