Open Water, released today, reminds us once again that Saturn is still firmly ensconced in Cancer. This film offers an extremely apt metaphor for our current collective crisis. Until Saturn leaves Cancer in the summer of 2005, we're all at sea, dodging scary Saturnian sharks.

Water, water, everywhere

Last night Fox ran a ten minute trailer from the terror-inducing new movie The Day After Tomorrow, arriving in theaters on May 28th. The most striking images are of walls of water cascading over New York City. It is the ultimate Saturn in Cancer vehicle, and a warning that will likely go unheeded by the powers that be. It opens on Memorial Day, Cancer's favorite holiday.

House of Sand and Fog is the perfect archetypal representation of Saturn in Cancer: Our universal quest for home, for a piece of land to call our own.

It really pulls on that part of our psyches that's longing for a place where we truly feel we belong. What does it mean to have our home taken away from us? Being homeless, losing our roots, wandering aimlessly...where is Auntie Em?!
