The Moon travels through all twelve signs during a month, passing through each sign for 2 ½ days each.

The Moon is said to be 'Void-Of-Course' after it makes its last aspect to another planet in its current sign. It is almost no longer Void-Of-Course when the Moon changes sign, except when the Moon doesn't make any major aspects to other planets, then it's immediately void-of-course upon entering the new sign.

The Void-Of-Course period may last for only a few minutes or it may last for a day or two. This period is a time when we can really feel unconnected and without direction.

Legendary comedian Jerry Lewis is to be awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 81st Annual Oscar Ceremony on February 22nd 2009.

According to the BBC, the 82 years old American actor of the 'Nutty Professor' has raised over 2 billion dollars (£1.3 billion) for the Muscular Dystrophy Association through his annual Labour Day Telethon.

Jerry Lewis is not just a man with a great sense of humour, he is also a man with great humanity, and that is shown through his generous Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius, the sign of brotherhood.

Sagittarius - The Archer
Sagittarius is the most cheerful, easy-going, animated and optimistic sign of the zodiac.

Whatever Sagittarians want to do, they want to do it BIG. Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg are perfect examples.

Like the Centaur, - depicted by a man with the body of a horse -, Sagittarians need a great deal of freedom, and need to feel free to 'gallop' in the 'open field'... Some Sagittarians make keen travellers and explorers; others have an interest in religion, spirituality, foreign languages, outdoor sports or philosophy.

They often enjoy exploring different places and cultures and stimulating challenges that expand their horizons as well as seeking the truth.

A Perigee Moon - ImageShack
Yesterday's Full Moon (Sun and Moon opposition) was the biggest and brightest of the year, according to NASA, as it reached Perigee, i.e. its closest approach to Earth.

A perigee Moon (or SuperMoon) powerfully affects the pull on tides, tectonic activity and can trigger extreme weather patterns. Its influence takes effect 3 days before and after the SuperMoon.

In the news yesterday and today: Torrential rain has caused floodings in parts of England (Wales, Devon, Somerset and Scotland), as well as Italy (Rome). Italy, Switzerland and France have also been hit by heavy snowfall.

Currently in the sky, there is a very rare alignment between Venus-Jupiter and the Moon in the last decan of Capricorn.

This rare alignment won't be seen for another 44 years...

The Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn is particularly beneficial, as it makes a trine to Saturn in Virgo, making it an excellent time to consolidate a long-term project or an existing relationship.

During the 60 hours of chaos and carnage in the terrorist attacks of Mumbai (Bombay) in India, 200 people were killed and 295 were injured.

The attacks started on November 26th, a day before the arrival of Pluto into the Cardinal sign of Capricorn, and before the change of direction from Uranus, planet of the unexpected.

Pluto's influence was particularly intensified at the time as it was in the very last degrees of Sagittarius, and as Mars, the warrior, was aligned with the Sagittarius New Moon of November 27th, and Mercury, and challenging Jupiter (for excesses).

Aries Leonard Nimoy - 'In Search of... Astrology'
Here is an excellent documentary from back in the 1970's narrated by Leonard Nimoy ('Spock' in Star Trek), from the TV show 'In Search of... Astrology'.

In the first video, Leonard Nimoy announced he is an Aries with Scorpio Rising. However, according to both Astrotheme.fr and my own data software, Nimoy has Gemini rising, which seems to fit his personality better.

Sophie Marceau is the most popular actress in France, and she is also known internationally for her role as Princess Isabelle in the film 'Braveheart' with Mel Gibson, and as Elektra King in the James Bond film 'The World Is Not Enough' with Pierce Brosnan.

She started her career at the age of 13, and you could say that fate has been playing a big hand. At the time, she was only looking for a summer job. She then became the star of the French film 'La Boum' which started off her career.

Sophie is this week on the cover of a famous French Magazine called 'Paris Match' with her partner of 2 years, the famous French actor Christopher Lambert (known as Christophe Lambert in French-speaking countries).

Scorpio: The Investigator

Scorpio (October 23rd - November 22nd) is the sign of intensity par excellence.

It is also one of the signs of the zodiac that is the most attuned to paranormal happenings. Scorpios are indeed fascinated by fate, death and taboo subjects. What is forbidden is precisely what attracts them.

Scorpio is often labelled as the sexual sign of the zodiac, although Taurus is a far more physical sign than Scorpio, but Scorpio can take sexuality to a different level, beyond the physical.

Once a Scorpio has firmly decided what he wants to do, nothing, but nothing will deflect him from attaining his goals. Scorpio's sense of commitment and determination are second to none.

Daniel Craig & James Bond

Quantum Of Solace - ImageShack - Daniel Craig's horoscope
The new James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace' starring actor Daniel Craig as Ian Flemings' character has recently been released in the UK, and in other countries around the world.

'Casino Royale' remake was the most profitable Bond ever launched, but will 'Quantum of Solace' be more successful?

What is certain is that Pisces Daniel Craig is one of the most successful James Bond actors ever, certainly since Sean Connery.

Now is it just a coincidence that Daniel Craig, like many other famous actors who play fictional characters, has the required characteristics for this role in his birthchart?
