Romantic Movies Astrology

How great romantic movies are! They have us reaching for the Kleenex every time, identifying with the heroes and heroines. We weep their tears; celebrate their victories, as the background music soars into a heart breaking crescendo.

When we leave the movie theatre we are satisfied, feel we have got value for money, especially when a great romantic movie hits the high note. But what would be “the romantic movie to beat all romantic movies” as far as our astro club is concerned?

ARIES

There is nothing Aries likes better than a classic romantic movie. Indeed, they will be glued to the screen as the old fashioned heroine/hero gets one over the bad guy A hot romance and a few battle scenes will even have the Aries forgetting to neck the date. “Gone with the Wind”. Starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara is just the job! Seeing naughty Scarlett learning the same hard lessons over and over again, is an Aries life theme, and it is inspiring. Our passionate Aries, like Scarlett, is always ready to pick themselves up from the ashes, and start over. Ten out of ten for the famous “Tomorrow is another day!” line as it could be an Aries theme song!

TAURUS

When it comes to romantic movies, earthy Taurus digs something comfortable and food orientated. What could be more conducive than “Chocolat” starring Juliette Binoche? Watching the gorgeous actress stirring those pots full of the “dark stuff”, would send your average Taurus into a state of altered consciousness. Most Taureans believe life’s struggles could be fairly well sorted with a great box of chocolates. This is the mother of all “delicious” romantic movies, so ten out of ten for “Chocolat” and those bullish taste buds!

GEMINI

Nothing would get our Gemini’s more “moved to the core” than a movie full of intellectual /emotional complexity, and sub personalities acting out their “process”. The past and present love story of “Possession” stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. Seeking to understand a star crossed 18th century love affair would have most Gemini’s forgetting to munch their ice-cream cone! Nine out of an airy ten!

CANCER

Cancers love a love story, especially when it is played to the “light of the silvery moon”, Cancer’s personal planet of course. So what could be more engrossing than “Moon Struck” starring Cher and Nicholas Cage? To say Cancers are lunatic could be an understatement, certainly the passionate sexy and moody Nick and the sexy mature and moody Cher with accompanying Italo American lunacy, would have the Cancer leaning their head on their date’s shoulder, weeping their hearts out. Ten out of a sentimental ten for this moony epistle!

LEO
This charismatic signs’ own love stories are frequently star crossed. Leos might believe fate has not dealt them a particularly good hand when it comes to romance. See them slobbering over their choc ice when it comes to the tragic “Splendor in the Grass” starring star crossed lovers Natalie Wood as Deenie, and a young Warren Beatty, as Bud. The adoration of Bud and his Deenie is a Romeo and Juliette type theme. A prototype tragedy therefore. Ten out of heartbreaking ten for this passionate, archetypal Leo movie.

VIRGO

Some say it takes forever for Virgo’s Vulcan heart to melt. Virgos are picky. True love has to be special, unique, and noteworthy. They are the “pure ones” of the astro club; idealization is not unknown to them. A film that would have them digging deep into the peanuts is “Somewhere in Time” starring Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour. This unique story of a man who is so determined to meet his soul mate he time travels back to the past, is the Ultimate Virgo Love Story. It therefore includes sacrifice, devotion and sheer “pig headedness” when it comes to love tests, A perfect ten out of ten for this “forever” movie.

LIBRA

Libra goes for style, a love story with a certain unusual flavour to it, a love story that looks as good as a fairy tale is their idea of a grand romantic movie! What could look better than “Pretty Woman” starring Julia Roberts as a sex worker who dreams about her knight on a white horse, showing up as Richard Gere of course. Low life transformed to debutante or not, Julia gets to shop Vuitton, Gucci and Chanel, always an “in” thing to do as far as Libra is concerned. A sane balance between laughter and tears is just the right job and therefore a stylish ten out of ten for this Libran movie marvel!!

SCORPIO

Watery, complex Scorpios like hot sex, and the plot line tragic. The more sensual the moves the more they dig the hero and heroine. “Legends of the Fall”, starring Brad Pitt and Julia Ormond, will definitely have the savviest Scorpio sobbing desperately on their date’s shoulder. This tale of passion, deeply fulfilling sex, desperate suicide and even more “super tragic star crossed romance” has a watery Scorpio in their element. Ten out of desperate ten for this gory love epistle!

SAGITTARIUS
Animals are noble creatures to Saggys who are half horse themselves! A romantic movie is therefore not a romantic movie without a furry critter. So that old heart breaker of “Lassie Come Home” starring Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor (when very young) would have our Saggys shifting in their seats and reaching for their sleeves to sob on. What could be more heart shattering than to sell sweet “best friend”, Lassie, due to familial destitution, only to see the doggie find his way home and into one the broken hearts forever.. Ten out of ten for sentimental, furry friend value.

CAPRICORN
Earthy Cappys are into class. None of this down beat, vulgar sentimental trash for them! However, they do like a good weep like the rest of us. Therefore, that esteemed movie classic “Casablanca”, starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart would be their ultimate movie experience. That long goodbye at a foggy airport really does the job! However, Hump’s ultimate love sacrifice and last punch line “here’s looking at you kid!” will definitely stick in their gullet with the popcorn! A staggering ten out of ten for vote shy Capricorn.

AQUARIUS
Aquarians are well aware that no movie is worth its salt unless there is psychological, pathological and ecological spiritual take! Aquarius goes for “Matrix”, or how cyber punks and computer fanatics transform reality. In fact you might find your every day Aquarian leaping around doing a “Keanu Reeves” martial arts move in the foyer. Your idealistic Aquarian is convinced that intelligent computer life forms are hiding the truth from humanity and are about to take over the world. Ten out of ten for Aquarian visionary content.

PISCES
Pisces are watery folk; they dig the sea, as they do deep and incomprehensible emotions. They are easily moved in movie theatres and are usually the first to dig their faces into their pocket hankies, weeping uncontrollably at a heartbreaking finale. “Titanic” would have most enigmatic Piscean souls reeling into emotional angst. The scene where lovely Leonardo sacrifices his life for winsome Kate will remain imprinted on their hearts and minds forever. A profound nine out of ten for this watery saga!
