09 . 15 . 08 : : This is one of the few pieces that wasn't entirely dark and morbid that came out of me during a prolific and apparently 'cathartic' period. The color palettes were all rather rich but the subject matters were very intense. Cheyenne may have painted over this one but I'm thinking to repaint it, then again, what's done is done n'est pas?

While waiting at an appointment, I picked up a book of astrology and read the following about my birth date:

September Fifteenth is the "Day of Mastery"

Those born on this day seek mastery without being stressed or driven. Indeed, their mastery is a facile and flexible kind of control, often having hidden ambitions, which are ultimately revealed, patiently honing their talents, gathering data and developing their ideas toward ultimate success.

Often accused of being 'secretive' their brand of 'intimacy' and extremely private nature is often misinterpreted. If carrying an emotional hurt or injury, they would prefer to work it out in private rather than have it taint social interactions.

Able to effect a marriage of the worldly and the spiritual by simply remaining human and kind, they recognize when they have enough; Knowing that we are bound by our bodies and yet our spirits are free to soar!

Important reminder: we must work on the following and remain principled in order to remain productive and gain fulfillment ...strip down defensiveness, preserve and cultivate idealism while remaining open to spiritual influences. Be mindful not to get too attached to physical pleasures of the table and the bed.

Strengths: EXPANSIVE, MOTIVATED. Potential weakness: over ambitious.

NOTE: Have the courage to want the very best for yourself!
