Feb 28, '19 Are You Wearing Pants?

The pic has nothing to do with celestial influences today since lunar angles are nice. The comment made me laugh and reflects several conversations lately with people stressed to the max. Lots of asking why things are so harsh and challenging. One things I've noticed is that forgetfulness is more commonplace and not due to a condition other than the condition of being overwhelmed. If social media is going to be accepted then a few road rules need to be applied. Simple things like muting commercials helps; once you hear a news item mute the commentary so you can think for yourself and not become confused by your own sense of things and the rabid need of programs to grab listeners for ratings. Dare to indulge in what you enjoy rather than the imposition of fanaticism (extreme zeal) that's dictatorial and shaming. And so on and so forth...

The Shape of Water

A movie with many messages beyond the mystical love story is The Shape of Water released in 2017, about a lonely janitor who forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature that is being held in captivity at a top secret research facility in the 1960s written and produced by Guillermo del Toro. For those compassionate to the pain of others, including other species, this film in a dignified delivery of messages about prejudice, oppression, the horror of vivisection, abuse – both to animals and humans, and the hope that just maybe there’s more to the world than seen on the surface.

Basically the story-line is:

Elisa is a mute, isolated woman who works as a cleaning lady in a hidden, high-security government laboratory in 1962 Baltimore. Her life changes forever when she discovers the lab's classified secret -- a mysterious, scaled creature from South America that lives in a water tank. As Elisa develops a unique bond with him, she soon learns that his fate and very survival lies in the hands of a hostile government agent and a marine biologist.

My thoughts: The story-line about the amphibian captured and the relationship between him and Elisa seems to have confused some due to lack of realization that he wasn’t a fish but an intelligent being with the ability to heal. Even those in the field of spirituality and metaphysics should have grasped the meanings weaved throughout it, but many didn’t. Of course, art is individual taste and yet the art of film has several aspects, first is the story-line, so those who claim to be aware, sensitive to the world, and intuitive seem to have missed an opportunity to “know” what’s happening all around us. I think, “let them eat cake” applies quite well when thinking of pseudo New Age phonies who’d be upset to see an overripe tomato.   

Del Toro’s life is amazing and filled with phenomenal events such as his father being kidnapped and held for 72 days until a ransom was paid. He’s turned down opportunities to direct very successful films to maintain his own dedication to projects.

To conclude, here’s a quote from him: "That's what I love about fairy tales; they tell the truth, not organized politics, religion or economics. Those things destroy the soul. That is the idea from Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and it surfaces in Hellboy (2004) and, to some degree, in all my films.”

Astrology Profile: Del Toro is Libra with the Moon in Sagittarius that combined and reflecting a higher nature gives him a strong dedication to justice that he strives to portray through his work. He has three planets, Venus, Uranus and Pluto in Virgo that helps him to be precise and detailed with all he does. Mercury, planet of communication and Venus, creativity and passion are in Mutual Reception that reveals his strong conviction to create based on his awareness of the world – or worlds, including other dimensions and the many worlds in nature.
