PICTURES OF DINING ROOM

PHOTO-ART SERIES

JULY 2019

Sunday, July 21, 2019

I'm rearranging my dining room so I decided to do a photo-art series of self-portraits around my table so that I can get used to it - a fun thing to do on a Sunday!  In this photo-art series there are six different versions of me which correspond to different planets that are astrologically in my Third, Fourth, and Fifth Houses.  I chose these planets because I've recently started to make a very simple notating of a 3D model of my Sidereal astrological chart on my ceilings and these planets happen to reside in my dining room in the vicinity of my table!  The pictures had to be lightened up as my dining room is darkish.   

This one is called Ceres and the main idea here is that she is closest to the camera, has her back turned to any audience that there might be.  My planet Ceres indicates that my life works best when I just do my own thing all time.

Here's Chiron.  Chiron is eating alone in a dark room.  The healthiest Chiron in my placement is telling of a character who does anything she wants.  Like the planet Ceres, my Chiron placement is indicative of an often asocial nature.

 

Of his own accord my cat Jay is in this picture called Jupiter and Mars.  The character Jupiter is wearing one of the sheets from my bed.  Jupiter is indicative of myself in my adulthood and vital maturity.  Jupiter and Mars are in retiring placements but are generally more open to visitors than Ceres or Chiron as long as it doesn't take them too far off course.  These two are at work on their own projects.  Jupiter in my placement is the caretaker of health and spirituality.  Mars is the character on the right with her feet up on the table - she's the engine of the working writer in my chart. 

Here is another nearly identical (but not quite!) portrait of the working planet Mars by herself.

This one is entitled Psyche and Ceres.  Psyche is the enshadowed character on the left in the white dress.  Psyche in the placement I have indicates a changeable nature - it's a planet of youth and the lessons of youth growing into adulthood.  And of course the personage in the centre is the independent Ceres.  

 

Here is Psyche, Jupiter, and Pallas Athena.  So this depicts youth - the Psyche character - and adulthood - the Jupiter character - together.  Jay the cat is in this picture too.  Pallas Athena who is on the right in a poncho is a helping and mentoring planet.

Psyche.  A portrait of the youthful character by herself.

This picture is entitled The Sun and Ceres.  The character on the left is my Sun.  I was born at around midnight (12:01am) so the Sun is below the earth when I was born, so it's fitting that there would be some murkiness here but maybe I should improve the lighting in my dining room in this spot for the sake of my solar centre!!!  She has an aspirational and far-sighted look on her face.

Out of all the pictures in this series this one called The Sun and Mars is my favourite.  Mars and the Sun correspond to each other in my chart based on their placement in the sky with a friendly aspect called a Sextile, which is a helpful and opportunity-laden relationship.  These two characters are great friends and have a lot of work to do together.  There is obviously a lot of strength here!

And the last portrait is called Sun, a portrait of the Sun character by herself.
