And once, i whispered:

Dear stars, please save me a dream that will hold one gently

And that night your hands cradled my cheeks

and you lied right beside me calling me yours

Events of October 22

George is being written in Los Angeles.

Mark Lewisohn:

"On October 16, 1968, George Harrison flew to Los Angeles for a few weeks. The main purpose of the trip was to produce songs for Jackie Lomax's debut album. On October 22, the first session, produced by Harrison, took place at Sound Recorders Studio, where the instrumental of the title song was recorded. The main cast of musicians on the album included Harrison on rhythm guitar, Joe Osborne on bass, Larry Knechtel on piano, electric piano and organ, and Hal Blaine on drums. The recording of the album will continue until November 11, 1968."

The Degree of your Ascendant & How You’re Perceived (Part 1)

Aries degree (1º, 13º, 25º):

You give off true Mars energy with the way you approach life. You chase after your goals and you’re never really concerned about what other people think of you. These people live by the motto “No Risk, No Reward,” they will take those risks that other people would be too scared to do. These people have a drive like no other when they wish to accomplish something. They will put themselves in dangerous situations as a means to get what they want or sometimes just for the fun of it because there is a rush that they get from knowing they could’ve gotten caught but they were able to get away with it.

Taurus degree (2º, 14º, 26º):

You have an elegant presence about you. It could be the way you carry yourself and the clothes you wear. You may receive a lot of compliments on your looks because there’s something so effortlessly beautiful about you. These are the type of people that have a very specific aesthetic that they don’t usually stray from. They have an easygoing vibe that makes people feel safe in their presence and they could be overindulgent in Venus-related things that give them pleasure such as spending a lot of money on beauty products, Spa days, good food, frequent trips to the nail salon— basically anything that makes them feel good.

Gemini degree (3º, 15º, 27º):

You can pretty much talk to anyone about anything. These people have such colorful personalities that they can take the most mundane topics and have the most engaging conversations about them because they are blessed with the gift of gab. It’s very rare you will find these people at a loss for words and I wanna say it’s even more rare that you’ll catch people with this placement being serious. They are just lighthearted people and they love taking in new information. They may have a lot of connections and can float between different friend groups. If some drama went down and you wanna know the tea, these are the people to ask because they can’t help but to be in the know.

Cancer degree (4º, 16º, 28º):

You’re more of a homebody because there’s privacy (emotionally & physically) and it’s just what you’re most comfortable with. You really only talk to your close friends and family that you trust on a daily basis, especially about personal matters. But even then, it’s like you just go through the motions on your own because it’s not always easy for you to say how you feel so sometimes the people around you may not know what side of you they’re gonna get. However, you take care of your loved ones by cooking meals for them, purchasing and/or hand making cute gifts, and being a shoulder for them to cry on whenever they need.

Artwork by Giuseppe Arcimboldo

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526 – 1593)

Born into a family of painters in the northern Italian city of Milan.

Remains best known for the highly original “portraits” he composed by imaginatively arranging objects, plants, animals, and other elements of nature.

The Seasons

In The Seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter), created in 1563, Arcimboldo combined plants associated with a particular season to form a portrait of that time of year.

The series was extremely popular in the Habsburg court, and Arcimboldo reproduced it several times so the emperor could send versions to friends and important political figures.

The 4 Elements

Three years later he completed a series on the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water).

The Professions

Arcimboldo also made witty composite portraits of different professions, such as a librarian, jurist, cook, and vegetable gardener, using objects associated with each occupation.

In these innovative works, Arcimboldo fills the paintings with dense details that come together harmoniously to create a human form.

A Fusion of Art & Science

When Arcimboldo arrived at the court of Emperor Maximilian II, he found his new patron was passionately interested in the biological sciences of botany & zoology.

The study of flora and fauna grew as a result of the voyages of exploration and discovery that were undertaken to the New World, Africa, and Asia in the sixteenth century.

Explorers returned with exotic plants and animals that created an explosion of European interest in the study of nature.

Maximilian transformed his court into a center of scientific study, bringing together scientists and philosophers from all over Europe.

His botanical gardens and his zoological parks with elephants, lions, and tigers caused a sensation.

As court painter to the emperor, Arcimboldo had access to these vast collections of rare flora and fauna.

His nature studies show his skill and precision as an illustrator and his knowledge as a naturalist — but Arcimboldo went beyond illustration by building fantastic faces out of the natural specimens he observed.

His paintings not only demonstrate a unique fusion of art and science, but they also provide an encyclopedia of the plants and animals that Maximilian acquired for his botanical garden and menagerie.
