Filmed in The Stars — astrology and movies: Part 1
I love astrology. I find it fascinating, mysterious, informative, and insightful. For, our solar system and planets in it are about energies and their interconnectedness and influence on people and the world. The astrologists say: ‘What above is below,’ referring to the sky — our solar system — and the planet Earth. Recently, contemplating on changes that are currently occurring and a major shift in energies that will take place on 21st December 2020, I had an inspiration to look at movies from the astrological point of view. Namely, how prevailing energies of zodiac signs effect focus and themes of movies created.
To demonstrate the shift in themes and focus that will occur in December 2020 and will last for the next 200 years, I would like first to look at what energies have prevailed for the past 200 years and are now fading away. The energies in question are of the following zodiac signs, houses, and planets: Capricorn (10th house, planet Saturn), Taurus (2nd house, planet Venus), and Virgo (6th house, planet Mercury). All three signs are connected to the earth element and express tangible, material, and physical. They are also responsible for certain areas of life and energies expressed there.
Please note that, though these energies will go out of focus for the next 200 years, it does not mean they will seize to exist completely. It simply means that there will be no major focus on them.
Capricorn, 10th house, and planet Saturn
Career, achievement, government, high profile people, rulers, queens and kings, royalty, traditions, patriarchy, fatherly figures, rules, restrictions, structures, corporations, government, hierarchy, maturity, old people, heads of states, presidents, police, life lessons, classes, masters and servants, subordination, authority, military as in subordination structure and rules.
Examples of movies and TV series associated with the Capricorn energies

Madmen TV series (2007–2015) — the movie looks at the head of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and the dynamics he has with subordinates and colleagues as well as people in his private life. The title ‘Madmen’ refers to the fact that the corporation is located on the Madison Avenue, one of the prestigious streets in New York (status theme).
The Assistant (2019) — the movie looks at the dynamics between a powerful executive and his subordinate. The story summaries all of the Capricornian energies in their low expression, including use of power, abuse, and injustices. The movie stands on the border between the dissipating energies and the new ones that will be prevailing in the next 200 years. Of which later in the article.
