Yahoo just posted this story: The SAG awards have been handed out. They make top mention of Eddie Murphy winning for Best Supporting Actor, and co-star Jennifer Hudson sweeping the Best Supporting Actress category (Murphy is a Pisces). In my last post I noted that the March Eclipses take place in Virgo and Pisces, and I noted that we are already under thier spell. It is thrilling to see Murphy getting the attention of his peers in this way, after such a long and winding career. It is something of an Eclipse in the sense that there is now a radical change in his career and reputation.

But more to the Astrological point are the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress given to Hellen Mirren (Leo) for “The Queen” and Forrest Whitaker (Cancer) for playing Idi Amin in “The Last King of Scotland.” Those of you who have joined my Astrology Conference Calls know that I call the Sun - THE KING and the Moon - THE QUEEN. I couldn’t ask for a more relevant SAG awards ceremony! What makes this even more interesting is that Helen Mirren is a LEO - which is ruled by the SUN (and which I call the KING) and Forest Whitaker is a CANCER - which is ruled by the MOON (and which I call the QUEEN). An Eclipse is literally the time when one obscures the other. This year the battle of the sexes is on and we shall see who ultimately wins the Oscar nod - it could be one, it could be the other, it could be both, or it could be neither.

The SAG awards are highly treasured and coveted by actors - because they indicate the approval of the other actors in the world, which is the toughest audience of all to impress. While we travel through the sign of Aquarius, the approval of peers is perhaps the most important thing of all since our emphasis is on group activities and social standing. It is no accident that Aquarius is the time of the year that is commonly referred to as “Awards Season.” The air crackles with excitement and anticipation, no one knows what’s coming next, outfits are extravegant and the crowd is reveted on a single point of focus. This is the heart of the Aquarius side of the energy that I call the “RUBY RAY.” This year we have 2 Total Eclipses which goes a very long way towards explaining the current fascination with the King and Queen energy as they Eclipse each other, both in the sky, and in our entertainment mediums.
