cy twombly Taurus art 1.09

In the characteristic Cy Twombly (b. 25 April 1928) reproduced above, the singularity of matter (Taurus) is differentiated into two (Gemini) stones, slate and chalk, representing the possibility of communicative meaning (writing) as yet contentless. In the work below, he pays hommage to Taurus's tutelary deity, while exploring the way meaning and sensuosity awaken in crude scratchings.

wonderful writing, and I really enjoy your poetic maneuvering of slate and chalk as physical form evolving into conceptual reality.......... modernism at its best.

Hi Mark ~~~ I find the conflict between adjacent signs a fascinating topic - you've addressed it so well here! Most of us have personal planets in an adjacent sign, it's intriguing to note how this plays out in personality.

I'd never heard of Cy Twombly - hmmm - that's not exactly what I'd expect from a Taurean artist - it's quite Uranian isn't it?

Dude, it's Joseph Stone, Not Joseph Smith, although the found of latter day saints was a very early Capricorn, and thus, his sun (not his entire chart) was in earth. I agree that adjacent signs can have conflicts, and the reason is that they are very different in terms of basic ego emphasis. However, it may not be a battle of the sun signs but some other conflicting angle between the two charts, for example Saturn in one squaring the moon in another. Taurus & Libra are incredibly different signs, even though they have the same ruler, Venus, another reason why the astrological alphabet put forward by the late Zipporah Dobyns dumbs down astrology.
