    Thank you so much, Christopher. I too am deeply moved by Vincent Van Gogh's life and amazing artwork. This was an amazing video with lots of helpful astrology, as well as a way to connect to Van Gogh from decades away. I didn't realize his north node was conjunct my sun. Perhaps that is one reason I love his work so very much. I am an introvert. And still, I was able to overcome my difficulties with crowds to travel solo to Amsterdam to the Van Gogh museum. Probably TMI, but by spending time there and soaking in his paintings, something in me healed. Thank you again for such a sincere and genuinely compassionate treatment of an artist who still impacts the world.

    Oh I loved this. I lived in Arles-en-Provence when I was 19-21 (50 years ago). I had a big picture book of Vincent's works and I would sit by the bridge he painted, or at the cafe he painted, or looking at fields of sunflowers and read about the tragedy and brilliance of his life. I was so in love with him. This was a perfect video for me. Thank you for loving Vincent, too.

What an amazing delight to see how magic aligns between the painter and his famous painting (as above so below). You are a wonderful magician to weave them together through the sands of time. I love your portrait of Van Gogh more than the animated film ❤💝🥰 Painting is one of my hobbies since my natal Venus is also close to my MC and trines Uranus in 5th house (Libra). I have always had a talent for drawing and painting without trying hard. I love Van Gogh's paintings, especially the hypnotic lines in his paintings that are never quiet.

    The word martyr has been going around and around in my head these last months, trying to understand what it has to do with Saturn in Pisces and why we in the West are just now being confronted with a radical adjustment in our thinking about cultures for whom this concept is central. Your talk was so meaningful and I'm left with the impression that an area Saturn in Pisces is asking us to grow, in relation to this concept of the martyr, is in seeing the worth of things before they are gone completely.

    Christopher, that was such a great adventure you took us on.Thanks so much for having the brillant idea to do the artist/painting chart and share it with all of us. That was simply splendid! Do you know of the poet David Whyte and his poem, "Self Portrait"? Well, David says he wrote that after being at the Van Gogh Museum and seeing his paintings after he cut his ear off. He went back to his room after contemplating that and wrote his poem. One line " ...I want to know if you know how to melt, Into the fierce heat of living, Falling toward the center of your longing..." In either case, I thoight you might want to read it or read it again with that info in mind. I love his poem but knowing what he saw and what prompted him to put pen to paper gives it extra meaning. Jamie Magee from Astrology Hub told me she forwarded an email to you from me. I tried to contact you through your site and never heard back. So I hope you got that email and can answer me. Thanks.

In fact much of the history of Astrology appears in illuminated manuscripts, the ceilings and floors of synagogues and churches, as well as paintings depicting the planets and signs. I'm so glad that you are studying Astrology and Astrology is made all the richer because of you. 😊

    I've described Mars in Pisces as a phrase "The gold that you want passionately would turn to brass if you touched it" so it was interesting seeing how you would describe it! Also, I don't know if it's a controversial opinion but, I always notice an element of profound tragedy that presents itself in exalted planets. Almost like they're often 'overly celebrated' in their significations. Like using a jackhammer on a 9 inch nail. So good at what it does that it's kinda bad, lol. With Venus in Pisces, it shows itself in the lives of the people that have it as "so beautiful its heartbreaking" or the concept of "drowning in beauty."

    Christopher thank you from the bottom of my heart, I am a avid fan of Vincent too I have the starry night on my wall that I recreated in diamond art, it has the bright swirls in beautiful sparkling stones, it’s like a vortex of awe and beauty. It’s in my business on my wall and everyone that sees it draws a breath of wonder. It’s one piece that I’ll never part with, it is one of my favorite pieces that he created and while I was listening to you I’ve been working on his version of the stars over the river. I too have always loved starry night as it speaks to a part of my soul as I’m an avid moon lover. I felt your passion and pain and wonderment and I say thank you again for your wonderful talent ❤❤❤ bless your beautiful beautiful heart

    Poignant, my brother was bipolar 1, as well as, my son bipolar 2, both Aries Sun, I don’t have my brothers rising, however my son is cancer rising. Van Gogh and his life story and art has fascinated me for over 50 years. I am going back to both their charts to learn more about the connects with a new understanding. I had made the water/fire connection as maniac/ depressive cycling. The Pisces creative addictive experience and will look at it now from the people in their lives, for me as a sibling and a mother. Thank you for creating Astrology Portrait not only does it give an example of chart interpretation but looking at the human experience from a non judgmental perspective. Your gift of storytelling when describing charts and transits really brings compassion to the complexity of lives lived out. I just watched the Dante documentary on PBS beautifully created and would love to view one day on your Astrology Portraits.

You are one of my favorite astrologers and teachers. I'm learning about Nikola Tesla's life and looking at the astrology corresponding to it, its so interesting. I think if you did a astrology profile on Tesla it would be a great episode and you are so awesome at celebrating people's lives. All the astrology profiles you've done so far are wonderful and I literally love the mystery charts you've done so far!! So I was just throwing this out there and want you to know you are amazing and doing such a great job with bring astrology with history to the public, which is so important and what we need right now!
