I had another artist in mind for Gemini, but was in a hurry and couldn't remember her name - have now tracked her down - it's still not earthy or sexy but then y'all are so..ooo mental! (In the best possible way, of course)<br /><br />This is a good fit for Gemini:<br />http://twilightstarsong.blogspot.com/2010/10/arty-farty-friday-jenny-holzer.htmlTwilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-40415140305728641682016-07-02T17:04:16.769-05:002016-07-02T17:04:16.769-05:00Huh!

I stumbled over some at the links too.<br /><br />Oh yes, in a general way, as a kind of "rulership" I agree that Capricorn and sculpture go together well, and yes, Pisces for film, including still-photography. Literature: the Mercury pair, Gemini and Virgo would be good.<br />Taurus and Libra for music, but their Venus "vibes" could also enhance any of the other categories. :-) <br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-27094540165775006562016-07-01T14:18:53.066-05:002016-07-01T14:18:53.066-05:00I like most of your matches - a few at your links ...I like most of your matches - a few at your links are rather odd to me.

I responded as I did in case any stray astro-interested passer-by was confused by the selections.<br /><br />Astrologers say, don't they, that we all have every sign within us somewhere, even if not highlighted by a planet's or point's presence in it?<br /><br />I'm convinced there's "something" in astrology, otherwise I'd have dumped it long ago, but I do not believe everything astrologers put forward. I do not believe it's all-pervasive, all-encompassing in every choice, every step we take, every... everything. Sometimes when I take a quick skip around the few astrology forums remaining I find myself becoming very anti-astrology. <br /><br />This is just me of course, and likely due to my own natal chart's arrangement. <br /><br />So, having said that, astro-profiles for me are just kind of shadowy indications, nothing is chizled in stone - will not direct every single choice and action of the native.

I thought you did a good job of selecting paintings to represent the astro-signs. AS I SAID, it occurred to me while looking at your choices that it's a bit of a twist that an artist with a very different astro-profile would select subject matter that deceives their astro-profile. I guess it's a reminder to me that an individual can express themselves in a manner beguiling to their astrology.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-77519466993680677212016-07-01T09:15:00.685-05:002016-07-01T09:15:00.685-05:00mike ~ I do realise this, but I did state in the ...mike ~ I do realise this, but I did state in the post at the top, clearly:<br /><br /><i>One could find numerous ways of attempting a similar exercise, endless examples of the art to present.

Voyaging through your selections, it struck me that these paintings, pictorial analogs, were crafted by artists with their own particular astrology. I like your selection for the sign of Cancer, "Coming & Going" by Norman Rockwell, but the artist was an Aquarian Sun, late Scorpio or early Sagittarius ascendant, Moon in Capricorn. Likewise for Klimt's "Death and Life" representing Scorpio, which is more apropos than one of his "Judith"s that I would have selected as an astrological moniker, but Klimt was a Cancer Sun, Moon in either Aquarius or Pisces (TOB unknown, so no Asc). Or Piet Mondrian to represent Capricorn, with his Pisces Sun, Asc and Moon in Aquarius.<br /><br />The art you chose for each sign, while appropriate, are deceiving in their origins. The representational stereotypes of each painting selected produced by non-representational artists. "Can't judge a book by its cover".mikenoreply@blogger.com
