With Sun and Moon both ruled by Mercury it'd further underline his writing skills - oral communication could have used some polishing though, from what we can glean. ;-) Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-64892168249160113772016-06-17T16:44:44.318-05:002016-06-17T16:44:44.318-05:00I took a nap for an hour and woke just a while ago...I took a nap for an hour and woke just a while ago...two minutes after waking, I knew I'd made a mistake on this post. Mercury and Jupiter are his final dispositors (I previously said only Mercury), if his Moon is in Virgo. I, like you, think his Moon was in the late degrees of Virgo, as that would have created a grand square: Sun-Moon-Jupiter-Saturn and fits the tension of his personality. Gets a little complicated, as his Moon could have been from 27* Virgo to 9* Libra. Saturn is at 20* Pisces. I would say that he definitely had, at minimum, a T-square with Sun-Jupiter-Saturn. If Moon was 0* to 7* in Libra, he would have had a T-square with Sun-Moon-Jupiter.mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-49278630402848534672016-06-17T14:52:13.531-05:002016-06-17T14:52:13.531-05:00mike ~ Awww - poor GiGi, she does have her proble...mike ~ Awww - poor GiGi, she does have her problems! Glad to know she has recovered.<br /><br />Flagg was one of those "Golden Age of Illustration" artists:<br />http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/golden-age.html<br />He was good, but so were they all! <br /><br />From that brief video he struck me as sorely needing to loosen up, but that could be due to his having felt uncomfortable under the movie camera lens, I suppose - though if he'd appeared in silent films, as reported, he ought to have felt more at ease. Maybe that was, indeed, "him" - and makes me more inclined to feel his natal Moon was in Virgo.<br /><br />Interesting theory about an inferiority complex being over-compensated. There's his Venus in Cancer too - maybe that reflects a Cancerian need to shield himself, which came over to others as either curmudgeonly or egotistical.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-15876013570710484062016-06-17T12:56:08.661-05:002016-06-17T12:56:08.661-05:00Geeeez...what a day...many interuptions. GiGi is ...Geeeez...what a day...many interuptions. GiGi is on her third UTI since March, so a veterinary visit this morning...she's better. Gotta get this comment in...LOL.<br /><br />I didn't realize the Kitchener copycats' hands in the making of the "Uncle Sam" posters...copying is the highest compliment. I'd a smacked Flagg (or left the premises), had I been the model in the video...LOL. The Willis Birchman excerpt is interesting, as Birchman makes a comment about Flagg's youthful father at the age of 82, which is the age that James Flagg passed away. Birchman makes Flagg sound like an interesting fellow, though curmudgeon.<br /><br />His Sun opposed Jupiter aspect is actually a T-square with Saturn...adding that crispy-ness to his personality. Plus, Jupiter is in its home sign...Mercury in Gemini rules the Sun...that Mercury is inconjunct Jupiter...a bit weird. Mars on his N Node may have induced an uncertainty with his concept of masculinity, particularly since it forms a square with Mercury at the Nodal midpoint, and as you mention, that Mars is trine Venus. Since it isn't certain which sign his Moon is in, if in Libra, Venus and Moon are in mutual reception, and Venus-Moon would disposit all planets except Sun, Mercury, and Uranus. If Moon is in Virgo, Mercury is his final dispositor. His overall aspects, with the video and the Birchman excerpt inclines me to think he had an inferiority complex, where he over-compensated with ego assertion.mikenoreply@blogger.com
