The American photographer, Diane Arbus whose work is currently on show at the David Zwirner Gallery, London in an exhibition entitled, ‘Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum’ was a unique talent in the way she photographed unusual people and their identities – for this exhibition within their own private spaces (she was known for her street portrait photography). Could you look at her chart, Marjorie? She was born 14/3/1923 in NYC. Thank you.
Born 1.30 AM.
I wonder if increased focus on female artists might reflect in some way the new planetary shifts? I remember Marjorie writing about Neptune in Aries and women, for instance. The exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery of paintings by Denmark’s most famous female painter has just opened. Anne Ancher, 18 August, 1859, was fascinated with sunlight. Her work is beautiful, it just glows.
“Anna’s true genius lies in her treatment of light. She captured sunbeams spilling across walls, the golden glow of a lamp and subtle shifts in daylight. In some works, her experiments verge on abstraction and are so modern they almost anticipate 20th-century expressionism.” Dulwich Picture Gallery
She has a Leo stellium, opposing Nodes, Lunar Apogee, and Chiron in Aquarius. Fire and Air seesaw seems so appropriate! But also Uranus in early Gemini, and Neptune 26 Pisces, just before the shift into Aries. Pluto 8 Taurus.
Thanks Jane. Yes, my sister is in SE22 and is going to see the Anne Ancher show. Beautiful paintings of light and vivid colour.
Just a comment – currently David Lammy is embroiled in the mistakenly released prisoners story, and the longstanding poor state of the prison system as a whole. That’s been declining for many years, so hardly his fault. But it is now his job. Anyway, I was interested to see Marjorie’s post in July 2024:
“David Lammy, 19 July 1972, Foreign Secretary, is a Sun Cancer trine Neptune, sextile Pluto; with Venus Saturn in Gemini trine Uranus and an outspoken Mars Mercury in Leo. The September Lunar Eclipse will catch his Pluto for a test of his influence. His confidence will be undermined as tr Neptune Saturn in Aries squares his Jupiter through 2025/26; with major frustrations 2026/27 as tr Pluto catches two of his Mars midpoints. His relationship with Starmer will be marginally distanced with a minor tug of war in 2025/26.”
This September, 2025, a Virgo Solar Eclipse was conjunct his 29 Virgo Pluto (crime?). The eclipse opposed Saturn in Pisces – which seems quite symbolic of prisons. The old 1066 Pisces Moon is 29 degrees, square Uranus 28 Sagittarius. Saturn Rx is back there again as 2026 begins. Another indication of ongoing unease for the public?
We are in or entering the age of Aquarius. Which is a fixed air sign. Pisces ruled by Neptune/water/12th house was an era of praising the untouchables , Icons, such a Gods, Artists, Leaders, Movie stars etc – merging dreams together? What will Uranus really bring to or influence our planet? Groups participation is the first thing to come to mind. However, what about packs of people with individual ideas/politics. Could we look at a couple of country’s with a strong Uranian influence – please?
Hi Marjorie.
Is it possible to get an update on Sudan and Darfur? Your last post on it looks like September 2024 and since then the world has pretty much looked away and now we have the RSF slaughter of thousands in El Fasher and on the routes out of the city. One report said more have probably died in the last ten days in El Fasher than in the last two years in Gaza. Horrific.
I am very confused about Sudan in terms of charts with a 1956 chart which looks fairly horrific across this winter and the South Sudan 2011 chart which may or may not be relevant.
I couldn’t find a Wales chart. First Sennedd 12 May 1999 – might be good place to start. Chart has Saturn conjunct mercury in Taurus conjunct UK mars. Also shares same Chiron placement as UK. With the rise of Plaid might be an interesting insight. Tetchy relationship to UK chart just triggered by 5 nov full moon
3 March 1284 JC.
“This is political earthquake.”
ABCs Rick Klein defining Mamdani’s victory.
Just learned Bloomberg and the Lauder’s dumped millions recently to try and bolster Cuomo….
My latest favorite gossip is that JD Vance is ready to ditch Usha for Erika Kirk he has been extremely touchy with. He certainly isn’t defend Usha from attacks on her Hinduism, defining her family “atheist” when they apparently are from a respected Brahmin family with great grandfather having been a respected spiritual leader. Or at least this is the story getting traction on Threads I mostly ever access for giggles on people oversharing. Whatever JD is trying here, I honestly don’t think he fully understands the fury of Indian internet. I think he has Pluto on his Solar Return DC set for Washington DC (might redo charts), and always thought the marriage would hit hard times…
Most bizarre, isn’t it? Plus, to humiliate his wife and her faith in front of an audience of young Christians as he did was not a good look.
@Virgoflake, I genuinely hope that Neptune passing to Aries and Uranus to Gemini for a long haul will rattle all the people who thought young men really becoming more “conservative” instead of being just insecure and exposed to some toxic internet. The last Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini actually saw a strong rise in popularity in radical economic theory. Now, they are joined by Pluto in the “atheist sign” by definition, Aquarius, while in 1860’s Pluto was in conservative Taurus.
But it isn’t a good look among more conservative, genuinely religious older voters either (many Pluto in Leo and Virgo people). JD holding a recently widowed woman on her hips and letting her stick her fingers to his hair will be played by every primary opponent in 2028, if he dares to run.
Hi. But what might account (via astrology) for the trend of young white men becoming so conservative globally?Mars/Venus?? Young women are so dramatically much more liberal, based on many polls. These young white men were brought up amidst the climate crisis and I (naively) thought that this entire generation would be focused on climate and worldwide change, in general. Millions of these men were born with outer planets in Aquarius. ?? My son has Neptune and Uranus in Aquarius with an Aq ascendant and his progressivism runs deep. I guess I’m right about the women but got it so wrong about the (white) men. Does Russian disinformation play a part, perhaps?
To be remembered the other side of Aquarius – Jorg Haider a Neo-Nazi politician of recent years was Sun, Jupiter, Venus in Aquarius. Sarah Palin – Mercury, Moon, Sun, Mars, Saturn in Aquarius. They can be ideologically rigid, unfeeling etc
The chart for the Third Reich, 30th January 1933, has Sun, Saturn and Mercury in Aquarius. And Algol rising….(Bk of World Horoscopes)
Weird how he always says he’s Christian and never uses the word Catholic. My MAGA relatives despise Catholics. Maybe that’s why. But wow, Usha did everything by the book-agreed to being set up with JD by their Chinese prof, Amy Chua (even though JD himself expressed that he might be gay at that time), spent some time in China per her Wiki page, clerked for both Roberts and Kavanaugh and now gets thrown under the bus…If my spouse put his hands on a woman’s hips, I’d go scorched earth (Sag sun, Scorpio Venus).
It would resolve his hypocrisy about immigrants and their children being given U.S. citizenship
Usha was born in the US of high-achieving Indian immigrant parents. Both parents are San Diego university professors. Her mother, a professor of molecular biology, is also Provost of Sixth College of the University of California San Diego (known for employing the highest number of Nobel Prize Winners in the world, largely, it’s alleged, because they enjoy surfing in San Diego, where I live). Her father is a professor of aerospace engineering at San Diego State University.
Vance was quoted as saying that mothers-in-law are primarily useful for taking care of grandchildren. No response was reported from HIS mother-in-law, who’s said to be a well-respected academic at UCSD and believed to be a Democrat.
Perhaps Helen has forgotten the profligacy of the previous government For example £33Billion of taxpayers money spent on the HS2 project Still not anywhere near completion
I haven’t forgotten any of what has happened. I never wanted Brexit, or the aftermath. I was very disappointed with what happened in the 8 years the Conservatives were infighting. My post was on current affairs. Labour can’t escape their Election’s night Chart. As it was the birth of their present party’s win. Argol has been acknowledged as a bad omen, by some of the greatest Astrologers throughout the centuries. Therefore, I was merely pointing out that they can change the person, yet may not be able to change their destiny in this political tenure.
The 1801 chart, as mentioned before here, has Solar Arc Uranus moving through the 8th house exactly conjunct Mars in Taurus this year. Currently the transiting Sun in Scorpio forms an opposition and yesterday there was news of a train incident with multiple stabbings. There was the Southport attack last year. The Starmer government term chart also has Mars in the 8th house. Starmer’s natal Mars quincunx Saturn sits on the government term chart MC suggesting domestic discord is likely – even his former home was attacked by arsonists.
Labour were also elected under Argol in Taurus. Taurus is also our money, which appears to be spent with abundance. Almost just after the Election, the freebie-gate started to emerge. Then one crisis after another. There is talk of Starmer being removed, I doubt this will stop Argol.
Any comment on the timing of this years UK Autumn budget Marjorie?
It’s scheduled to start in Westminter on 26 November around 12.30pm. The moon will be in Aquarius.
What would happen if Reeves was made to resign? It maybe worth looking at the time Chart to see if it takes place? As she is teetering on the brink. Would it be delayed?
Unlikely that she will be forced as it would spook the markets (and it is said that Starmer is aware of this). When she had her weepy Commons melt-down the markets became very skittish believing that she was about to be replaced. However – it would be interesting to see what the astrology says and maybe foretells?
Can you look again in Bruce Springstee’s chart and Jeremy Allen White who played in the new movie about Bruce . Thanks
