I listen to certain songs to get me going, to inspire me, to make me feel that… Moon Pluto thing. Emotional intensity. It feels good.
I was on a phone call with someone today, another writer, and he said that people really respond to his writing when he’s angry. I thought about that. And I thought how I don’t write when I’m angry and I said when I’m sad. That’s when people like it.
And then I thought, no. Not sad. And he said morose? I said, no that’s not it either.
The art I love the most, the movies and songs I love the most, give me this feeling and then I try to return it to the world.
Moon Pluto I said. That’s the only way I know how to describe it. When I feel Moon Pluto.
The first class hasn’t even begun yet and already I’ve been fantasizing about the second class. I want it to be an intensive on creativity and the creative process and blocks and the 5th House. To go as deep into our 5th Houses as we possibly can.
Do you know the feeling? Sustained intensity.
Creation is birth.
What do you give birth to? What do you WANT to give birth to?
Love, MP

i defer to you.
i know you do.
just my virgo moonpluto. can barely help it.
I think it’s your Mars that can’t help it LOL
well, keep in mind a rorshcachian rough sketch, certainly not a picture i’d present to a group of medical students as anatomically correct.
“abstract representation” comes to mind.
and thank god for differences.
wink.
I get it. It just made me think.
Aliza,
over a quarter-century ago i was told by a psychic that i’d be something – be doing something, anyway – that at that point had never occurred to me as an avenue which in retrospect is kind of funny in that my chart practically screams it.
and now, finally, i am working toward manifesting her/my vision, after a kind of afterthoughtish foray into exploring it.
combine literature and cinema and you get the idea.
at any rate, she said my writing/work would be of the nature that touched people in the solar-plexus.
and it’s true, i want to “get” people there, where it is felt like something that lands and then ripples out, reaching intellect but beginning in the gut, which in this case is closer to the heart. yes, moonpluto stuff. THAT is what i work to give birth to. it doesn’t come free, it doesn’t come easy. one must feel those things – live that life oneself – before one can share it in a way that is both inspired and then crafted, so it CAN be shared (rather than just vomited up like a rorschach).
sun conjunct neptune in fifth. mars in fifth.
and have fun while doing it. Deep fun 🙂 Mars/5th (Mars in??? Scorpio?)
btw, my 1st astrologer…. when I was in my mid (?) 20s told me i’d be a teacher in way or another my whole life. I thought it was bull. Couldn’t imagine it for various reasons, and yet… it’s kinda maybe happening. Had to do it “my way”
p.s.
btw, the o’keefe illustration is great, especially in that at first glance – gawd, speaking of rorshcach – it (the steer skull) looks a lot to me like the hip bones of a woman leading downward into the uterine area and then “opening” into the birth canal.
further, it looks like we’re seeing this through “her” blue skirt.
sorta.
doesn’t it?
yes, scorpio fifth.
oh interesting observation!
I can’t imagine being a man. Even though I feel atypically female. I just cannot imagine being a man–
That remark just came to mind– because you are observing the female/body in the O’Keefe bones from the point of view of one who has a different body.
I would be interested in this class on creativity and especially trying to ascertain what the ‘feeling’ is that is sought, and reproduced by artists and which is then communicated through their work. It is actually very present in my mind because I want to write my masters dissertation on this topic (!) So far my astrological thoughts on it are very neptunian focused, that it connects to longing. So yes, would love to explore this more from an astrological viewpoint.
Oh cool 🙂 One thing I have noticed is that this feeling, this desire, does not automatically result in quality. Quality takes time (except for the prodigy of course!).
The best though is when you have this emotional intensity and it actually does result in some good art.
