Secret Moon Art

Sir Winston Churchill; Walter Stoneman, via Wikimedia Commons If one sleuths into the natal planets of Sir Winston Churchill , it may be possible to discover innate art interests if not talents therein for he is known as having been an "avid amateur painter" of some repute. Obviously, art-related participants from the panoply of planetary actors include Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, Moon and Pluto providing wells of creativity, plus, we cannot discount ideals and new ideas via innovative Uranus which, in order to be realized, need realistic Saturn 's sense of form to serve as a vessel into which inspired ideas may be poured. Born during a Saturn-Uranus opposition on November 30, 1874 , baby Winston had Saturn in Aquarius trine his Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Venus-ruled Libra , plus, from Libra to Leo , he sported a Mars-Uranus sextile , an aspect of objectivity and opportunity.

For if her story is real, Pope Joan's ascendancy to leadership is what some might call an inconvenient truth, and quite the embarrassment for men who labor under an...
