She's born March 13, 1989, in Austin, TX.<br /><br />Planet Watcher is down, so I can't enter her birth day. Astrotheme, et al, use pull-downs for entering data, but my computer is whacked-out and I have limited cursor abilities.<br /><br />Would you do a post on this woman? Please and thank you!<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/23/lizzie-velasquez-antibullying-documentary_n_5379220.html<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizzie_Vel%C3%A1squezmike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-87205589914997624942014-05-24T12:13:20.478-05:002014-05-24T12:13:20.478-05:00mike ~ Ah yes - those two trines account for a lot...mike ~ Ah yes - those two trines account for a lot! <br /><br />Another thought - with his natal Sun and Moon both in signs traditionally ruled by Mars, and likely to be in uncomfortable quincunx aspect there's a kind of outer powerhouse being continually irritated by inner powerhouse thing goin' on! Maybe a hint as to why he gravitated to super-hero depictions.<br /><br />I feel the same about comic books. I loved comics as a child, but don't see myself being able to get through an adult version of one. I do admire his turns of phrase though. <br /><br />"V for Vendetta" is on my favourite movie list - but I understand Moore was not impressed with the movie version of his tale.<br /><br />Don't think I've seen "League of E...G..." the movie, I ought to find a DVD of it. But yes, BBC would no doubt make a much better job of portraying it as a series.<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-89026985277892657412014-05-24T10:21:59.680-05:002014-05-24T10:21:59.680-05:00His Jupiter trine Neptune...Uranus trine Sun-Mercu...His Jupiter trine Neptune...Uranus trine Sun-Mercury...gives him a unique expression of his not-very-mundane, esoteric concepts.<br /><br />Indeed, an interesting fellow. I know him from his "Swamp Thing" days. He extolls the imagination and world of ideas as equal to our material world. There are numerous quotations of his stating this view...here's one:<br /><br />"The planet of the imagination is as old as we are. It has been humanity's constant companion with all of its fictional locations, like Mount Olympus and the gods, and since we first came down from the trees, basically. It seems very important, otherwise, we wouldn't have it." Moore<br /><br />I like and appreciate who he is, but I'm not a particular fan of his, probably due to his science fiction, comic book representations, and action hero topics. I would like BBC to produce "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" much like they have done for the modernized "Sherlock Holmes" series...I think I would luv that.mikenoreply@blogger.com
