Hilma af Klint - an astrological profile
The increasingly recognised Swedish artist Hilma af Klint who died in 1944 was born October 26 1862. This post looks at how her inherent energies -as much as can be known without a full birth chart - are indicative of her body of abstract work. Only a very selective representation of her work is used here for illustration of the theme addressed Though traditionally trained in the fashion of the day - landscapes and portraits af Klint really found her forte in abstraction - drawing heavily upon the symbolism of natural and geometric forms due to both inherent inclinations and exposure to the metaphysical and transcendent philosophies from the late 1800s. In terms of how the known representation of her astrology is consistent with her expressions [actual birthtime not known] af Klint’s birthdate clearly combines all those potentials: A Scorpio Sun-Mercury conjunction. Pluto in Taurus Mars in Pisces. Venus Jupiter and Saturn in Libra South Node Uranus in Gemini trine Venus No
