It's just a house with no planets, looks different because it's a bigger expanse. <br /><br />The house sizes/extents are calculated by the House system and chart type being used - this chart wheel is called a European Wheel (unequal houses) by my software, and I'm using Placidus House System. If I swapped the chart to show to Equal House system the houses would all be same size.<br /><br />I use this wheel all the time because I can read it best.<br /><br />Really, when we have no time of birth it'd be better for me to use a chart showing no house cusps at all - but for some reason that throws me off and I find I can't read that type of chart as easily. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-15303310984081387292015-01-30T13:05:20.563-06:002015-01-30T13:05:20.563-06:00ps-- I prefer Peet's art..ps-- I prefer Peet's art..<br />Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-56077565645310559942015-01-30T13:02:41.430-06:002015-01-30T13:02:41.430-06:00 Annie,

Annie,<br /><br /> what does it mean if an area on the astro wheel has nothing in it? like example no. 2 .. does that have any special significance..<br />thanksSonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-77587032664133166602015-01-30T11:26:02.457-06:002015-01-30T11:26:02.457-06:00mike ~ Yes, it seems the two had regular "ru...mike ~ Yes, it seems the two had regular "run-ins" during the 27 years of Peet's employment. <br /><br />From what I've read in the past about Disney, and his political leanings, he wasn't my kind of guy at all, though his business acumen was incredible, there's no doubt on that. As an employer I suspect he was not too pleasant a guy to deal with - I'd probably have felt much the same as Bill Peet!<br /><br />Cancer Moon - though we don't know the degree - would account for a lot.<br /><br />I did notice the Peed/Peet thing...lol...yes, but trying to be respectful didn't mention it.

The most most striking synastry I see is Disney's Mars right on Peet's Venus, which draws Disney's Mars into Peet's planetary fray I mentioned. Peet viewed Disney as a dictator and menace, according to his autobiography and the NY Times obit:<br />"...almost as well known for his tempestuous, 27-year relationship with Walt Disney as for the cartoon characters he created...", so it seems they had an acrid, long-term relationship.<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/18/movies/bill-peet-87-disney-artist-and-children-s-book-author.html<br /><br />Not knowing Peet's time of birth, it conjecture, but Peet's Moon may have opposed Disney's Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, too, contributing to his feeling that Disney was oppresive. This synastry would be a fitting addendum to Peet's scathing commentary of Disney.<br /><br />It states in the obit that Peet's actual surname was Peed...a regretful last name...LOL.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-83407022550683048692015-01-30T10:13:42.640-06:002015-01-30T10:13:42.640-06:00mike ~ I prefer Caulfield's style to that of m...mike ~ I prefer Caulfield's style to that of most other pop-artists of his era. I'd not be averse to having one or two prints of his work on our walls, whereas I'd not give most pop-art house room.<br /><br />I agree that Bill Peet could have been a tad too thin-skinned when dealing with Walt Disney, but he managed to get by for 27 years, so things can't have been too bad in that respect. The pair probably held a certain respect for one another, and each was contributing to the other's success.<br /><br />Disney's chart<br /><br />http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Disney,_Walt<br /><br />reveals a cluster of Capricorn planets - no wonder he was first and foremost a businessman! Peet was much less business-minded, his own Aquarius cluster had other priorities. <br /><br />Whereas Aquarius and Capricorn can slide along quite easily in most cases, in the case of Peet and Disney maybe there was just too much of one sign competing with too much of t'other...at times.<br />:-)<br /><br /> <br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-63923571248749903852015-01-30T07:50:39.795-06:002015-01-30T07:50:39.795-06:00I suppose I can appreciate Caulfield's art mor...I suppose I can appreciate Caulfield's art more now than I did back when it was fresh. The 1950s onward popularized a minimalist style of illustration typically seen in my school texts, magazines, cartoons, and posters of that era. I'm not overly fond of the flat, lack of details, and monotones. His style was considered very progressive and modernistic. To enhance your comment about his Mar-Saturn in Pisces, Pisces co-rulers Jupiter and Neptune square each other and form a loose T-square with the Mars-Saturn conjunction. I think this reflects the overt rigidity and linearity of his work, contrasted with islands of creative realism splashed into his work that disarms.<br /><br />Peet's falling-out with Disney is an interesting story told second-hand...hard to know for sure of the real details. I suspect Peet may have unconsciously allowed this to happen. He has a peculiar configuration with Venus op Saturn, Mars op Neptune, Mercury sextile Venus and the duo in a loose yod to Neptune, which draws all of these planets into one cohesion (his Moon is part of this, too, either by aspect or simply the ruler of his Neptune). His nature was perhaps moody, touchy, and easily offended, even when no offense was intended.mikenoreply@blogger.com
