I probably saw a photograph captioned "FLW's house" and misunderstood. :-)<br /><br />I've wondered about Mackintosh myself - would he have found more overall acceptance and success (like FLW) had he lived longer?<br />You know, I think he was simply born before his time - for his particular environment. Scotland (and Britain) had to play catch-up in the years after his death.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-56351800290187641932009-06-16T17:10:03.730-05:002009-06-16T17:10:03.730-05:00FYI, Frank Lloyd Wright never lived at Fallingwate...FYI, Frank Lloyd Wright never lived at Fallingwater. His home was Taliesin, in Spring Green Wisconsin, from 1911 until his death. In the 30's he built a winter home in Scottsdale, AZ called 'Taliesin West.'<br />Interesting the parallels between Wright and MacIntosh, though: like twins separated at birth, in terms of their designs, until MacIntosh's untimely death in the 1920's. One wonders what would have happened if he had lived as long as Wright.MrsPevothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050122887501068257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-8046348048961979342009-06-13T09:41:24.578-05:002009-06-13T09:41:24.578-05:00Shawn ~~~ Hmmmm you've given me more to chew ...Shawn ~~~ Hmmmm you've given me more to chew on there. :-)<br /><br />Good points about the Yod being out of range for Mackintosh's chart. I like the astrological points you make about the comparative success/popularity of the two men. I think we have to take into consideration their respective locations too. the USA, and its "American Dream" offered far more opportunity than did Scotland and the UK in general. Mackintosh moved to France for a while too, but even there the type of opportunity rampant in the US just didn't exist. <br /><br />Being in the right place at the right time - it often comes down to just that, I guess. <br /><br />Interesting point about Jupiter and me. My natal Jupiter in Pisces is exactly (within a few minutes) semi-sextile my Sun in Aquarius. The hard aspects to it are not particularly hard - semisquare to Mercury is closest.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-29121877541611155632009-06-13T09:30:43.347-05:002009-06-13T09:30:43.347-05:00AN ~~~ Is it?

You seem to be...Very interesting article, Twilight!<br />You seem to be attracted to people with hard angles to Jupiter, as I have noticed that a lot of your subjects share these aspects. That shouldn't be too surprising considering the amount of traveling you have done in your life. I would almost guess that you have a similar aspect in your own chart.<br />The shared birthdays of these two architects makes for a fun compare/ contrast. For example, the yod to Saturn that you pointed out as helpful to Wright had moved out of range by the time Mackintosh was born a year later, even though they shared the Sun / Neptune sextile. Maybe this is reflected in the different flavors of their work. Wright's designs seem to be more practical or functional than Mackintosh, and have not been destroyed.<br /> In terms of the difference in their popular appeal during their lifetimes, Wright has Uranus in a favorable position to his Moon / Jupiter opposition, showing that his originality enjoyed more popular appeal, while Mackintosh probably had the t-square between Moon /Jupiter / Uranus.Shawn Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290241481890970687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-91660551237163757632009-06-13T03:26:10.675-05:002009-06-13T03:26:10.675-05:00Wright's home is straight out of Tracy Island ...Wright's home is straight out of Tracy Island in Thunderbirds :-)<br /> We've just had another architectural storm over here with Prince Charles - letters to the financiers of one of Lord Rogers' developments have told him to go back and redesign.anthonynorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680944720744601697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-65451812313710319342009-06-12T17:34:53.981-05:002009-06-12T17:34:53.981-05:00I've seen four of Frank Lloyd Wright's str...I've seen four of Frank Lloyd Wright's structures over the years and one of his domes sits on the main drag in Carbondale, Ill. It was once used as a classroom by Southern Illinois University's architectural department. Lunched beside it often while working at a bookstore and sometimes going to school at SIU. The kicker is: I never had a camera with me when visiting any of the F.L. Wright buildings, including the Price Building, and have no shots of that dome in Carbondale.
