Sometimes a method called rectification is used by astrologers to arrive at d.o.b.<br />I never trust this as being 100% reliable. Still, in this case it fits, and I think her Moon would have been in Scorpio - whichever house. Houses, too are a tad unreliable, I've found, and can depend on which house system is being used.<br /><br />All food for thought though. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-30455201447515950512013-06-11T03:04:06.991-05:002013-06-11T03:04:06.991-05:00I saw on another site that O'Keefe had her moo...I saw on another site that O'Keefe had her moon (and other planets as well) in scorpio in the 12th house. This could also help explain why she denied the sexual aspect of her work, she was actually unaware of it on some level, or at least didn't want it to be seen. <br /><br />Tracy Marks book "Your Secret Self" also mentions the myth of Demeter as relevant to the moon in the 12th. I remember reading in O'Keefe's bio that she used to work in isolation for half the year in the desert in NM, then go to NY to Stieglitz to sell her work. You can't get more Persephone like than that!<br /><br />I also have scorpio moon in the 12th and have found this way of working as an artist to be both appealing and useful.

Though the photographs Alfred Stieglitz took of her - nude studies - were pretty darm sexual - but maybe by then she didn't care any more. :-)<br /><br />I do much prefer O'Keeffe's work to Kahlo's, who I find mightily depressing, and self-absorbed...but then, that was her prerogative, brushes in hand.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-31313975261968981112011-12-30T15:46:54.958-06:002011-12-30T15:46:54.958-06:00Anonymous/Gian Paul ~~ Well, yes, all her painting...Anonymous/Gian Paul ~~ Well, yes, all her paintings are enchanting, in one way or another (New Mexico is called "Land of Enchantment", and there she found her true home.<br /><br />Every good wish for 2012 (and onward) coming back to you and yours, GP, including to Cognac and, erm I forget: Lily?
