Once I held you close
Now you’re keeping your secrets
Why did you grow up?

Poem: Rumour

Rumour

Tell me I’m wrong
but I’m hearing of wars
and rumours of wars,
some crystal clear pictures
of stark weapons pointing high,
spying drones brought low
and the smiling faces of men
I’m told are my enemy.

Each channel I see
repeats the same message
almost word for word,
so I switch it all off
and listen to the birds,
the sounds of my conscience –
common sense saying
that the end is not yet.

Astrology Bites: Monet

CE292B1F-1168-4082-8627-6DACB9ED1A07
My paintings are often heavily inspired by Monet.

Monet’s birth time on November 14 1840 is not known.

However, there are some interesting features showing in the chart of the day he was born: I suspect some of these fall on the sensitive angles of his true chart.

For example, there is a T square in mutable signs involving a Venus Saturn conjunction in Sagittarius, Mars in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces.

This would be a strong character forming figure, hinting at a tremendous, inventive and restless energy which finds a creative expression by way of the Venus Saturn conjunction.

Monet’s practical application of this energy made him probably the most prolific and consistent artists within the impressionist movement.
