Death Valley Beautiful inspiring landscape in paintings and film
Badwater, Death Valley by Napoleon Brousseau 1998
Death Valley is a beautiful awe inspiring place. My husband Napoleon Brousseau turned me onto it. He used to go quite often and camp before it was a National Park. The landscape is varied, with names like "Devil's Cornfield." There are mesmerizing salt flats,feels like you are walking on the Moon. Surprisingly there is also water and a species of tiny fish that thrive in the super salinated waters. Death Valley is a misnomer- it was intended to keep prospectors away as it was believed there was gold there. There is a lot of silver and abandoned silver mines litter the valley. Borax- you know 20 mule train borax- was mined from Death Valley. It is a flame retardant and cleanser. Nowadays there are modern hotels, date palms an dlotsof tourists. The night skies are amazing as no inerfering city lights.
For an artists view of Death Valley- see Napoleon's contemporary landscapes at http://www.napob.com

Heavy Red Alert Astrology heads will roll
Can’t
wait for Mercury to go direct this evening Mon. Nov 26 @ 3:48 pm EST its been a crazy juggle
of clients, trying to write , my computer mouse broke down etc.
What’s your Mercury Retrograde story?
hot and heavy LOVE day as Venus conjunct Elder grim reaper today in early Scorpio.
Will you fall in love with an older sauve man of means?
will the older man fall for some very young sexy bondage loving women dressed all in black ?
isnt that 50 shades of Grey already?
Yes these are cliches.
Scorpio is $$$$, taxes, other people’s’ loot, power control secrets, you know
bad worse or worst is my financial predictions
Scorpio rules power secrets expect more leaking of secrets, and underhanded ruthless power grabbing politics
Tuesday Nov 27
MARS
the lesser malefic as it was called classically MARS god or WAR- Ares in Capricorn sign of BIg BUsiness, corporate, old boys
conjunct Pluto at 8 degrees- PLuto the Lord of DEATH the underworld, Atomic
energy,
this is a very serious heavy transit- I have felt its approaching weight as we are all, it doesn’t smell like teen spirit
the
famous Second Coming poem by William Butler Yates
”Your Prophet” painting by Napoleon Brousseau
2009
The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening
gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Are full of passionate intensity.

War!
attacks! market crashes! Yes Mars
and Pluto do conjunct once every 2 years.
the appetizer was Venus and Saturn in Scorpio sextiling the two macho lovers Mars and Pluto
Born Dec 30 or 31 you get the direct blast from the Universe, better be ready to take the heat, its a huge career boost
Invest in defence, war type of things if you have no morals..
It ‘s super heating up in the Middle east- more revolutions
I feel sorry for the innocent children mothers and fathers who are killed maimed and are suffering every day
We
are on the verge of 12 12 12 which I feel is more auspicious numerology than dec
21 2012 which IS NOT the end of the world or actually the end of the Mayan calendar so don’t panic
but the astrology is very heavy and this is all One day before a LUNAR ECLIPSE in GEMINI
will write about that shortly
How’s your score card looking?
we
are supposed to be UPleveling our consciousness not following the script of Judgement day,,,
but its also the age of false prophets
Seek the knower within.

Art Venus in Libra Neptune in Pisces Astrology and Beauty
ART, artists, Astrology
VENUS besides ruling women, relationships, values, money, luxury also rules beauty and the ARTS.
I was born with Venus in Libra.
I started out telling my very surprised mother that I was going to be an artist when I grew up when I was nine years old.
I loved to draw,and danced from the age of 5, loved to sing,and wrote poems, dreamed and fantasized a lot. I was interested in metaphysics, mysticism, the occult since I was very young. I was always a unique individual, against the mainstream, also born psychic. Art allowed me to express my soul.
Art and all artistic endeavours, painting, music, dance, writing, acting are all ruled by VENUS, who co-rules Feminine earthy sensual Taurus and the airy Masculine sign of LIBRA.
NEPTUNE is considered to be Libra's Higher Octave, and in modern Western tropical astrology Neptune rules the sign of PISCES, the sign of spirit, of the Source, which all artists must channel through. Neptune rules illusions, fantasy, film and photography, addictions, delusions.
As Venus is in Libra now and will be From Oct.28 to Nov.21st Venus the Goddess of beauty is impelling me to talk about ART. ART is necessary to feed the beauty of your soul. In Europe and in most 3rd world countries, Art is a part of everyone's daily life. Art is as essential as your daily bread.
Neptune rules artists as shaman's, shape shifters. They must channel through spirit and many are alcoholics, addicts as the dark side of Neptune.
With Neptune at zero degrees of its own sign NOW and for the next 14 years. ART and Spirituality will be a very important part of our need for beauty and artistic creative self expression.
I was born with Venus in Libra exactlly conjunct NEPTUNE at 20 degrees. I can't really separate Neptune from Venus.
So to me Art is always about spirtuality, the soul expressing itself. Especially in visual arts, as the soul always speaks in images, symbols, icons, in dreams, it has no real spoken language. We are naturally image makers.
So lets look at Venus in Libra and Neptune in some famous artists charts.
Born illegitimately on April 15 1452 Old Style, his birth date has been changed to accord with Gregorian calendars to April 23 with a birth time recorded as close to 9:40 pm. The chart has been used by Astro data Bank.
Leonardo has Venus dignified in Taurus @ 24 degrees in the 6th house of work discipline, service. Born with Neptune Retrograde at Zero degrees of LIBRA, Venus trines Neptune which is the highest elevated Planet in the 10th house of worldly fame. Saturn sign of hard work, discipline is also in Libra where it is exalted.
Jupiter is in his home Feminine sign of PISCES.
the ruler of Pisces in Traditional astrology is conjunct Leonardo's very imaginative, spiritual, mutable, artistic Moon,which it rules in the 3rd house of communications.
Leonardo also has a SAGITTARIUS Ascendant
6 degrees of Sagittarius. Also ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is expansive, metaphysical, aiming higher, reaching for the stars, honest. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is the degree of my Sun!
PICASSO born Oct 25 1881 Malaga Spain 11:15 pm
Has Venus at 4 degrees of LIBRA dignified in his 3rd house of communicating
Was born with 5 planets in TAURUS, all Venus ruled
Saturn at 9 degrees Retrograde in the 10th house
Neptune at 15 degrees Taurus Retrograde in the 10th
Chiron at 22 degrees Taurus in the 10th house
Jupiter at 23 degrees TAurus retrograde in the 10th house
Pluto at 28 degrees Taurus Retrograde in the 10th house
If anyone was born with a chart to be a wealthy world-famous artist it is definitely PICASSO!
and co-incidentally Picasso's Moon, his Unconscious is at 8 degrees of Sagittarius conjunct his North Node at 9 degrees Sagittarius which is also conjunct to Leonardo's chart. Which makes me think that perhaps Leonardo re-incarnated as Picasso. Those specific Sagittarius degrees are also conjunct to major fixed Star Antares.

These are really phenomenal portraits of memory phantoms, ghost dreams, half remembered figments, eidolons, spirit images.
