My screen name and conseqent e-mail address came about for far more mundane reasons, but I'm very happy to find a nice mystical link within it. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-59305625694713109662010-12-11T04:45:36.142-06:002010-12-11T04:45:36.142-06:00That thing with planetary "combinations"...That thing with planetary "combinations" between people (and nations, organizations etc.) is amazing! It works in all directions, even posthumously, beyond what normal limits would assume.<br /><br />I made the maps of several authors, painters, architects etc. I particularly like, many already dead, but the "links" are there.<br /><br />PS. On the night of Dec 7/8 Buddhists celebrate the time Buddha had is enlightment. They say that at early morning, at "twilight" he contemplated the Morning Star (Venus) and had the illumination that not only he but all beings (and not just humans) at that moment and location were woken up by that same "Venusian phenomenon". All eternally connected. And not just by Venus, your "Twilightstar".Gian Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-64791869317507375162010-12-10T14:56:07.710-06:002010-12-10T14:56:07.710-06:00Gian Paul ~~~ Oh I didn't read comment #1 as p...Gian Paul ~~~ Oh I didn't read comment #1 as particularly harsh, GP. Candid, perhaps - nothing wrong with that. But I appreciate your sensitivity in adding comment #2. :-)<br /><br />My own reaction to Ms Schapiro's art was fairly bland, to be honest.<br />It's pretty and cleverly created, but on the whole much to fussy for my personal taste. I think its quite "American". :-)<br /><br />Interesting that you found and astrological cause for your slight antipathy - I find that can happen frequently for me - both in positive and negative ways.<br />;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-22048795947569379972010-12-10T13:58:34.975-06:002010-12-10T13:58:34.975-06:00On reflection I thought that my previous comment w...On reflection I thought that my previous comment was somewhat harsh.<br /><br />First I apologize if that can be of any help. Secondly I tried to know why on earth I would not have made a nicer comment about Miriam's art. And I found an astrological reason (as happens so often, suffice to look for it): My natal Mars is conjunct her Moon, especially if your "very good bet", Twilight, is true, which I think it is. Hence my "aggression". Miriams Saturn opposes my natal Sun, may be why "something" made me unconfortable.<br /><br />PS. Next time, I promise, I will "think first", and not as Aries usually does...Gian Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-7468144629158184972010-12-10T10:09:00.017-06:002010-12-10T10:09:00.017-06:00Nice pictures too look at, thanks.

Not because he is male, of course.<br /><br />PS. Lace glued onto a picture raises some concern about durability also. Or one's cleaning woman needs to understand this type of art.Gian Paulnoreply@blogger.com
