Remaining Positive: Mercury Retrograde, 12 Mar to 04 Apr

Sooooo… If you’ve done your astrological homework and did your ‘Preparing for Mercury Retrograde’ you are truly going to be at the head of the class for the next few weeks ahead. And noooooo, the end of the world is not coming quite yet just because The Messenger is taking time to offer us all some necessary reflection within our lives. But, rest assured, this passage is going to change up a lot things for the collective.

Remaining positive couldn’t be more important to grab on to with both hands, and hold on tight. Let’s just think of Mercury for a second. Envision our quicksilver planet who ever-so enjoys delivering his messages and information, making sure travel and movement is happily happening wherever he goes. Now, picture him blindfolded in a sense, in where, he can not see where he is going to do all of these things he typically keeps himself quite busy with.  What would you do if you had to literally only physically move backwards to function down here below?

This is why, we are not “doomed” under Mercury Retrograde at all. It is all how our free-will chooses to perceive the changes that will naturally unfold during this passage from above. Knowing our Messenger’s channel from above is going to make things flux- possibly leaning towards the chaotic- it is definitely a smart move to honor his request for retreat, relax, review, and redo. Those who are not willing to adapt to a reflective, relaxed and resolute state, are the ones who make mountains out of molehills over this time.

Trying to move forward in life when the planet that directly governs movement, thinking, and communications of all kinds upon this planet is moving backwards is just plain silly. Logically, like Mercury always is, it makes perfect sense. This passage definitely gives him the name of ‘The Trickster’ as he does a sleepwalk of sorts. Over the course of a years time, he travels backwards about as much as we actually sleep. Becoming any clearer why the Universe sets it up perfectly every 4 months that we naturally take a mental rest?

Being in the know to take our time, expect delays, exercise patience, don’t sign nor initiate anything of importance, and have Plan B, C or even D ready if A changes- is critical to staying within the power of your positive energy over this time. Even in the face of apparent tragedy that can arise due to those unaware of how this Universal request from above works down here below- it is always up to you. Respond or react. You decide, as you are the captain of your own ship. And if you are letting anyone else sail it for you, perhaps you should truly take up with reflecting upon that under this upcoming passage.

Rejoicing can be yours under Mercury Retrograde by remembering all those RE’s. Literally, most any word that begins with RE, is the finest way to reap reward from this passage, which absolutely can occur. But if you want to move forward in life and plan for the future while the Messenger is backtracking, you’ll just end up wasting your time. Human error and mindlessness is the highest under MRx than any other time of the year.

So what should you do from 12 March to 04 April? Returning to old projects is highly favored. Reconnecting with old friends/contacts. Reviewing what just happened in the life since the last MRx back in Sagittarius in November and December 2011. Revise current work. Dive into some research. Go on a retreat. Reclaim something lost. Go for a release.  Revisit your life. Repair what is broken. Redo, Rest, Relax. Reflect.

For each and every sign in the Zodiac, while Mercury will “do this thing” from 06 degrees Aries to 23 degrees Pisces, there are 2 areas of the life from the collective perspective that this will ultimately require reassessment and revision within. Looking to the natal chart, you will wish to precisely see how these degree points fall, and what area of the life they are asking you to take a chill pill within for this period of time.  

We’ve got the quick collective scoop for where you’ll find reward in reflection by discovering the power of your own positive energy in the response verses the react. The first area listed starts you off where as well, Mercury will meet up with Uranus in Aries who has been already displaying the unexpected to you within this area of the life. The second listed is the area of focus for review when Mercury re-enters Pisces 23 March.

Peace in Release

We’ve gathered from Pisces to now find completion and release where The Virgin brings a natural and pure feel to your Zodiac Pie.  As this 6th Full Moon peaks at the 18th degree of the sign, we also conclude the Universe’s offering to tap into the understanding of Spiritual Material Conflict in our lives from Aries to Virgo. As we enter this lunation’s waning phase, some early spring-cleaning that lets in releasing the material to welcome the spiritual awaits to find us.
Moon enters Virgo,
Tuesday 06 March at 10:27pm EST until Thursday, 08 March at 11:50pm EST
Logically, Virgo is not always the easiest place for our planet of emotion to be visiting. With the tendency for analysis to increase, this may bring forth the end result of instinct and imagination to feel quite limited under this passage. One may always find, engaging in service to others and dealing with details are stellar ways to channel success. It seems practical to gravitate to cleaning-up, effectiveness and study as our Moon finds its’ energies engaged in more reserved feelings, and just may exhibit a little shyness.
Full Moon, 08 March, 4:39am EST, 18 degrees Virgo
The Virgo piece of your personal Zodiac Pie points to where you will feel quite an intensity this Thursday, as well as the area of life to focus upon for release and reflection for the next two weeks until our next New Moon upon 03 April. The final lunation in a 6-month series since last fall in Aries at the 18th degree, we conclude as well a deep acceptance of letting go of the material satisfaction within our lives. As Virgo appreciates above all else purity and innocence, there is no time like the present to absorb and recognize all that the spiritual side of life has to offer us. Once more through logic, Virgo is telling us here, solidarity in our future completely depends upon this.
For the Collective
This Full Moon in Virgo requests that we look to matters concerning health, purity, routine, service, and efficiency in our habits. Our present Sun in Pisces brings on the enthusiasm for the unknown, sympathy and understanding -now being complimented by the Moon- engages in balance with the Moon’s reasonable choices of health and serving others in Virgo. As our entire Solar Month evolves, making peace ones practice attracts the gentle energy necessary to allow the proper letting go to occur now.
Warrior Mars presently guards over The Virgin, and he isn’t quite looking where he is going right now. Retrograding at a mere 7 degrees away at 11 degrees Virgo, we’ll certainly see the potential for this lunation to be more intense than normal. We truly have a dynamic energy adding to what is meant to end here as review time in Virgo really picks up the pace. Mars has been motivating what should already be in the process of courageously exiting from this area of the life since 23 January. Ultimately, when Mars goes Direct 13 April, we find the finishing touches will fall into place from this Full Moon’s request for review. By 08 June, Mars will be over the 18th degree of Virgo moving forward, so take note of how these dates relate as time brings us through progress.

For the collective horoscope, again we offer advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice, more so if the earlier degrees of it. Keep in mind, the exact casting of the natal birth chart determines a precise perspective of how the current transits of the planets personally and specifically affect you.
Aries: Motivation fuels you improve your personal habits and health Dear Rams. If you’ve been headstrong and chose not to focus on this important task, it’s imperative you listen up. There is a worn-out way you are being of service to others, so take this time to further upon letting go, as a new routine awaits in the wings about how “I serve.” You may find unrest with your co-workers at present, but let courage take the lead. Pets may require your attention, or a choice is to made about them in your life.
Taurus: The Bull is thrilled to see an artistic or creative adventure come to a conclusion. Children or brain-children captivate your attention now.  You’ve been feeling open to love affairs, yet it is best to take a stance and ponder where they fit upon your stage of life. Choose the courageous response with any apparent conflicts here as well. You will know how to move forward with how “I create” after Mars offering for reflection is over as you reach your birthday, so as always: yes, patience is required here.
Gemini: Emotions swirl as you arrive at conclusions that pertain to your home and family. Don’t logically think that sense of déjà vu is the other side of yourself talking- be sure to listen to the instinctive messages being channeled to you, as these have been strongly motivated to reach you for quite some time. For certain, your normal routine about how “I nurture” is about to change course, and the urge to truly clean up and clear out here wishes for The Twins to unite in full force and iron out all these details.
Cancer: An out-dated mental process Dear Crab must be released, and you already know what’s been the focus of your thoughts on this. You instinctively realize it’s best not to worry, so take this planetary gift and find better ways to think. As you continue to reflect on how “I communicate” and not be so nit-picky and discriminating, you may also find there is peace to be made with a neighbor or sibling that may have recently raised a conflict or two. Think pure and polite, and let your thoughts serve you.
Leo: Focus intensifies further upon your values, earning power, and what is it all worth to you. Now is the time to reclaim and review your “I have” securities. Take a hearty look at possessions, swallow up the pride, and let go of some things so new values will be granted the proper room to grow later. While you may have waited until now to take action, you’ve known this early spring-cleaning was definitely coming. Rest assured, by the time we reach late Spring, you are going to be thrilled space was made here now.
Virgo: Don’t shy away from this magical spotlight! You have already been trying on some new approaches and letting go of “I am” habits that don’t truly serve you. Your innate humility takes this more sensitive time for self without raising the ego bar too high. Your shouldn’t doubt the emotions you feel here now, but you can let the world see those first impressions of yours morph into more practical ones you are meant to share. Be courageous if conflict finds you, for causing a fuss won’t serve you now.
Libra: Those inner layers of your Scales look for more solitary time to even it all out. Your psyche has already been vibrant with internal messages in the midst of how “I process.” Matters of the subconscious are able to be further resolved. If you aren’t already recording your dreams, balance is brought to your waking world when you document and decode them. This release time really helps to clarify the loose ends that are concerning the hidden parts of yourself: so be sure to be friendly to them.
Scorpio: There is an on-going request motivating you take a look at routines within your friendships and organizations. What doesn’t serve you where “I socialize,” now is the perfect opportunity for letting go. Reflect upon the recent roles you’ve played in your groups, and your wishes here will be sure to blossom later on. Ponder deep within your hopes for the future, and wish well, the pure ones will find their light to shine later. Accept that unexpected invitation to go out to play- it’s part of the larger picture to flourish.
Sagittarius: Career matters are driving you to look to decisions that will be made on where it is all going. There is a lot of transition in your sense of “I structure” as reflection is currently unfolding. Your purpose, mission, and reputation all await significant changes, which you -above all signs- are always eager for. Make logical reassessments here now. You also have been toying with authority, and if you’ve been seeing some conflicts here, it’s best to be generous and make sure your optimism serves you best.
Capricorn: Your philosophical outlooks are in review and which ones serve you best for the long-term. There’s an important trip that’s either finishing now, talk of one you will take, or one past you reflect upon. There is an urge to expand somehow, and idealism is surely by your side to make sure you are optimistically climbing the mountain that leads you to higher education. It is a great time to study or re-examine something you’ve already learned, as your entire sense of “I believe” lets go of what is old.
Aquarius: Your wealth and financial revisions have been looking for new life to be brought to them. Not enough intimacy in a personal relationship? This passage reflects upon bringing in a true transformation here, for this is no time to remain fixed in resistance. Feel inventive in how you can find other people’s money to help you, or let them go help someone else. If you are looking to totally break on through to the other side, your entire core is up for peeling away the layers, as you truly tap into how “I transform.”
Pisces: Those closest to you, personal or business related, have already been captivating your attention. Now your feelings really join in for this lunation, as you’ll innately sense the request for release and conclusion here. As people come and go, and you’ll have to tap into your intuition, which, logically shows you the answers you seek here in how “I relate.” Your partners may waver in swimming in the school of courage, not ego, and be a little off course from being polite. Peacefully walk away from any argument.

A Quick Word on The Idealist….

   Venus enters Taurus

05 March 

5:25am EST

Our planet that enjoys balancing it all out within your life takes up journeying with The Bull through 03 April. Knowing Taurus is the sign that consciously aims for security, as Venus visits this piece of the Zodiac Pie, values come into the collective focus to be established and grounded.

This Venus passage prefers to seek harmony through art, music, obedience and contact with what material pleasures can bring to us. Time spent absorbing the sensual can ideally be reached through things like nature, foods and our possessions.

Venus loves her affections, which will find themselves to be strong and steadfast within the slow and patient process Taurus innately knows. Dispositions find sociable, generous, conservative, and placid means to be expressed. Taking note of physical beauty lets in the natural channel she wishes to bestow upon us with plenty of magnetism and charm to back it up.

Just as Mercury begins to offer us reflection as it Retrogrades in Aries upon 12 March, by 13 March, Venus is cozied up next to Jupiter at 09 degrees Taurus. As enthusiasm and optimism intensifies here, a devotion to contemplate deeply surfaces for us to firmly expand what values are wishing to educate to us here. Solid roots are more than ready to be placed within this area of the life, but don’t get too carried away with extravagance as Jupiter will bring plenty of excitability to Venus’s pleasures.

Taurus appreciates stability and endurance, which will the highlight of this transit when determination is recognized. So, in the midst of how Mercury will be creating his tricks for you to honor reassessments within Aries and Pisces, look to The Bull for a gentle place to find some kindly energies to be still emerging within the life.

Word Ponder: LEAPING

WORD PONDER

LEAPING

It’s that time again as the calendar date of the 29th February falls into our Universal Year, when here we are, all contemplating about taking leaps in our lives. While most may think this is a fabulous time to “jump” into something new, our star secrets highly recommend that age-old expression, “Look before you leap.”

In response to being interviewed by the Berkshire Eagle, about what it all means to initiate something new in the life upon the every 4 year possibility of the 29th February, we find that the energy of this date always brings with it not so much of a leaping tendency. “It’s a good day for everyone to sit and be a little quiet and have a good listen, because you may get some very interesting messages.”

Why is would this be so? Looking to the 29th, we find Grace Under Pressure to be the karmic path of this date, governed by the Moon through the singular 2. With the receptive and sensitive emotional side of things at play, this calendar date within any given month gravitates to taking a reflective state and trying out a little bit of nurturing before taking any action, especially whenever a pressurized situation may surface within the life. Hence the ancient Chaldeans understanding of responding with grace, and keep the feelings in check here.

Whenever we have an extra day in February every 4 years, we will always see this to fall under a Pisces Sun. Here again, is a water-guided energy like the 2, but now we have dreamy Neptune in the mix. While a communicative Fish is always known to be on the move, this date of initiation always will ask of the native to mirror how our Rumi wisely knew what it is ultimately necessary to have a good listen, “Be silent, like the fish.”

Certainly, within the Moon and Neptune combination of this rare date, you will always find it swirling in the contemplation of mystery, spirituality, psychic ties, and intuition. A great imagination equally is the outcome of anything born to a 29 February beginning. Entities capturing this planetary channel from above down here below will be quite the chicken soup for anyone’s soul, innately “know” things, and have some sort of sympathetic and healing way they are here to assist humanity through their pains.

This date typically falls under a 9 or 10 degree Pisces Sun. So, on those off years when celebrating the Solar Return (birthday/anniversary) it is always recommended to consult with your astrologer on whether the 28 February or 01 March would be the better date to ring in another “New Year.” Some people will claim, oh, you are only “so old,” because you don’t have the “real” birthday aligning numerically from year to year, but because of Astrology, you do experience a Solar Return whether we are in a current Leap Year or not.

Looking to the Current Personal Year Cycle as any soul or entity evolves with a 29 February star map, one would calculate this in the very same fashion, year to year. 29 February 2012 marks the entrance into the 9 Current Personal Year, where in, an entire 9-year cycle is coming to a close. All the conclusions, finalizations, and space that will be made in the months ahead until 2013, will make the necessary room for new beginnings to flourish in the life in one years time. 2011 was a year of the 8’s harvest, in where much reward, recognition, and reaping was the result of the seeds planted 7 years prior.

Back to taking those leaps. While all our 29 February babies will certainly experiencing a fine “to the 9’s” year ahead, it is really 2013, that certainly will engage them in some true leaping like they have not seen in quite some time. As far as how the collective can reap reward upon this calendar date, let’s look to the Name Expression of Leaping which has some added advise about taking caution where this action is concerned.

When we speak of Leaping we are calling upon the 26, the Chaldeans understanding of Partnerships which states, “This compound number vibrates, in a strange way, to a unique kind of power, based on compassion and unselfishness, with the ability to help others, but not always the Self. 26 is full of contradictions. It warns of dangers, disappointments, and failure, especially regarding the ambitions, brought about through bad advice, association with others, and unhappy partnerships of all kinds. The person is counseled to avoid partnerships and pursue the career alone, not heeding even the well-intentioned advice of others, but follow only the personal hunches and intuition- although these should be carefully examined for flaws before acting on them.”

Thus, heeding to “Look before you leap,” isn’t too bad an option to choose here. As the 26 reduces to 8, guess who is in charge whenever “leaping” is going on? Our favorite planet of fatherly wisdom, Karmic Saturn. While life can talk endlessly about taking risks and “betting” on them to work out in our favors, when it comes to “leaping” into faith, from Numerology’s perspective, you better cross your T’s and dot your I’s first. Saturn will always advise, go slow to receive your solid and genuine gains in life, for these are all the more worth it when stability and responsibility is adhered to.

As we take a last look at Lexigrams, one may not think there is too much to say from a short word like leaping. But never underestimate a short word. The anagrams we can derive here can still be poetically phrased into some sound advice that we all can benefit from. You’ll find you may have to open your mind just slight to recognize, when engaging in leaping for long-term success, it is best to be prepared.

LEAPING

IN A LIE, I LEAP IN PAIN
I LEAP IN PAIN, I IN A LEGAL AIL GAIN
IN A LIE I LEAP, I PLEA IN A PAIN IN A GAP
I ALIGN IN A PLAN, I GAIN IN AN AGE
I LEAN IN AN ANGEL ANGLE IN A LEAP, I GAIN
IN AN AGILE LEAN, I LEAP IN A GAIN
I NAIL A LEAP IN AN AGILE ANGEL GAIN I GEL IN

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

ModernMan.MartinLutherKingJr

As we take pause to remember in 2026, ninety-seven years ago in 1929, Dr. King was born upon January 15th. His initiation to earth instilled his heart to be naturally guided by the accountable leadership sun sign of Capricorn, coupled by the 15’s Karmic Path known as The Magician.

Let’s dive in further of how we can distinctly see the numerological and lexigram conscious connectivity that undeniably energetically worked and channeled through Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life experience.

Originally named Michael Luther King, he came down to 28 Lifepath, with the Chaldean Karmic Mystery of The Trusting Lamb. As one walks along a 28 lifepath, there are incredible achievements and responsibility given to the person. However, the 28 asks that careful planning be adhered to secure what one has gained. One is highly advised to be watchful of trusting the wrong people, as intense resistance can occur in career or business matters over the entire course of the life.

The singular influence of Dr. King’s 28 lifepath is the 1, The Initiator, and he adhered to this kind of energy along his short yet extremely worthwhile journey. There is no doubt it would be a sadder world to live in today had Dr. King not started the awareness and movement that he did. The benevolent qualities of this 1 Lifepath blended well with the leadership of his Capricorn sun sign.

Dr. King was practical, grounded, chock full of wisdom and innately understood the concept of hard work- all attributes of a steadfast Goat. Also blending equally well was his Karmic Path of the 15. Numerically known by the Chaldeans as The Magician, this influence colored his personality and character with an undeniable charisma in public speaking. Venus influences the singular 6 here, indicating a soul that is driven by love, compassion and is urged to bring harmony to the human heart.

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Looking to name numerology, each of the letters in our alphabet vibrates to a numerical energy. This equally telling form of analysis explores the sum of the letters contained within our names, lending insight to our expression and career path.

All of Dr. King’s name changes are riddled with the uncanny 4/8 phenomena, as their singular energies are known to cause sacrifice and victimization when combined. 

The Chaldean Karmic Mysteries of the compound numbers for each of his names display the very lessons he was to adhere to. Even in Dr. King’s final days, the numerical cycles he was experiencing tie into the continual mystery of the energies of the 4 and the 8.

His original birth name, MICHAEL LUTHER KING, vibrates to the 40=4.

MICHAEL, vibrates to the 22, Submission -Caution a Master Number reducing to 4.

His first name of MICHAEL was changed to MARTIN at the age of 6.

MARTIN, alone vibrates to the 17=8, and is coined the The Star of the Magi, and is the number of immortality, denoting the person’s name will live on long after they pass on.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, vibrates to a 26=8, granting one the immense ability to help others yet indicates to watch for troublesome partnerships in the life.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., vibrates to the 35=8, and carries the same meaning as the 26, that the Chaldeans deeply understood to mean Partnerships. “This compound number vibrates, in a strange way, to a unique kind of power, based on compassion and unselfishness, with the ability to help others, but not always the Self. 35 is full of contradictions. If 35 is the Expression of the name, it might be best to change the name to a more fortunate influence.”

Had Dr. King utilized the analysis of Numerology, we’ll never know now whether it would have possibly eased his path or more importantly saved his life. Without a doubt, there where plenty of distrusting people partnered with Dr. King that resulted in his numerous arrests and assassination becoming an unfortunate reality, while his true intention was to unselfishly help others.


“A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Over the years Dr. King’s selfless efforts saw him in and out of jail, yet this never deterred him. This need Dr. King so obviously possessed to bring his message to humanity saw him in 1963, within a 26/8 Personal Year of ultimate reward, recognition and gain, when he was named the ‘Man of the Year’ by Time magazine, and became known to the entire world as the valiant leader of American Blacks. Previous to this he had already delivered his infamous ‘I Have A Dream’ speech for the March on Washington.

The year to follow in 1964 concluded a 9 year cycle for Dr. King from his new beginnings in 1956. (all soul’s continuously spin in 9 year spans of time, each year denoting what we are to see on the stage of our life.) In a 27/9 Personal Year of universal fame and celebrity, Dr. King was the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize at the ripe age of 35. He immediately at that time returned his prize money to continue to aide in the Civil Right Movement.

“I am not interested in power for power’s sake, but I’m interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

1968 was Dr. King’s last Personal Year of the 31/4, one of foundation and structure. In April, he was in the personal month of the 8, one where karmic ties are known to be settled. He was murdered on 4/4/1968, a Universal Day of the 32/5, where movement and permanent change is paramount. In this 8 personal month the 4th of April granted him nothing else but the very combination of the 4 and 8 itself, the 12: The Sacrifice – the Victim, as a 12/3 personal day. His 31/4 personal year cycle and his known name vibration of the 35=8 at the time only intensified how these energies contributed to his fatality.

“If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

There is no question Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sacrificed his precious life by bring inspiration and change to humanity. With Saturn governing his Capricorn soul along with his 8 name vibrations, he showered us with lessons to be learned, while the minor expression of his first name left his eternal mark upon history. Dr. King’s The Magician karmic path did not fail him as he forever remains famed with compassionately addressing issues with the intention to bring balance to humanity’s differences.

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

As always we conclude by looking to the Lexigrams of Dr. King’s birth name and its’ changes. The mysteries that lie within this uncanny art form lend us the final insight into ‘It’s all in the Name’ the story to be told of his short yet incredibly meaningful 39 years. Let’s Spell Out The Truth…..

Remembering Al Hirschfeld

AlHirshfeld

“Hirschfeld’s line is Gotham- life plugged into an electric socket, flashing neon, open all night long.” ~Frank Rich

We take pause today to remember another Grand Gemini, Al Hirschfeld. Known for over an incredible 80 year career of capturing the life and times of celebrities throughout the 20th century with the simplicity of ink on paper, there is no question how Hirschfeld became appropriately titled, ‘The Line King.’

Born in St. Louis to the last licks of 29 degree Gemini Sun in 1903, Albert Hirschfeld was gifted right from the start. Even though Al was distinctly known through his caricatures, he did begin his art enthusiasm through the mediums of painting and sculpture alongside the obvious knack of his intimacy with the line in his drawings.

Before a life-long artistic career while residing in New York City, Hirschfeld studied in Paris. Like many extremely talented souls who achieve greatness in their field, Al possesses an auspicious astrological aspect called the grand trine within his natal birth chart. Grand trine??? You might be saying… what on earth does that mean? Umm… do I have one of those?

Although Hirschfeld’s time of birth is not exactly known, one can still determine from the date of birth the placement of each of his planets in the signs they were in when he first drew breath upon 21 June, 1903. Within Al’s personal “universal photograph” we can easily determine a distinct connection between three of his planets: Mercury, Mars, and Saturn- representing his thinking/mentality, drive, and self-reliance, respectively.

For Al, these planets sit in the three Air Signs, as trine essentially means things of the same element, with a different task at hand. With his Mercury at 8 degrees Gemini, Mars at 7 degrees Libra, and Saturn @ 9 degrees Aquarius, mathematically, these planets relate and connect to one another in the birth chart on a very friendly, easeful and relaxed manner. Perfected form of expression more often than not occurs from this mathematical influence from the heavens.

Thus, a grand trine is formed in any birth chart when the degrees of any three planets form an equilateral triangle. Whenever an astrologer sees this shape show itself, they ought to know innate talent is never too far off. In this example, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius make up the Zodiac’s air signs, those that stimulate the intellect, linear thinking, and relating to others.

“You always feel the drawing you are working on is the best you’ve ever done… I am only interested in the present.” ~Al Hirschfeld

Couple Al’s grand trine influence with a Master Number 22 Lifepath and it becomes even more evident he was to reach the status that he did. With any 22 influence, it is Uranus’s urging through the singular 4 that the soul’s originality and unique way of doing something prevails along the journey, promising to manifest equal masterful rewards. And so it was with Al.

“A line is just a dot out for a walk.” ~Al Hirschfeld

Further granting Hirschfeld creative reign was his 21 Karmic Path, The Crown of the Magi. Jupiter’s guidance over the singular 3 here had no trouble reaping the benefits from the creative juices. 3 energies are known to accelerate at the arts on some level, being their communicative need for expression and freedom are key. Once tapped into, these abilities flowed like a river throughout Al’s steady and fruitful career.

By 1945, as Al entered one of his many 1 Personal Years, he witnessed true to the new beginnings energy that marked that years’ cycle, some momentous starts. One, he became a father to a daughter named Nina. On a “fluke” he hid her name within a drawing to commemorate the occasion. This infectiously caught on as a game of sorts that was never to end, for, from that moment forward, Hirschfeld fans everywhere wanted more and more NINA’s to find in his dazzling lines. Thus here to did the well-known Hirschfeld signature begin, wherein the number listed after his name indicated the number of NINA’s to find.

“When I was about fourteen, my mother took me to see a musical comedy-and that was my first experience in the theater and I was enchanted with it. It transported me to another world- you might say that I was stage-struck. I was mesmerized by the stage.” ~Al Hirschfeld

It is sad to open a Sundays’ The New York Times ‘Arts and Leisure’ section and not be able to find another wondrous capture of lines on paper that intimately and yet so simply related the subject matter at hand. Al worked consistently up until his passing upon the 20th of January 2003. His grand trine in the air signs undoubtedly aided in his clarity that lasted throughout his 99 years, as these energies are known to retain their mental capacities, while Gemini is a great influence to retain youth.

“Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.” ~Al Hirschfeld

To conclude our tribute to Al Hirschfeld, the mysteries found within Lexigrams strike yet another fascinating chord. Here once again, is the conclusive evidence that alongside our astrological and numerological wisdom, Lexigrams grant us one more piece of a soul’s story to be told. So Al, it really was no “fluke” after all. Let’s spell out the truth.
