Surrealist painter and author who fleed war-
torn Europe to America, and finally Mexico,
where she produced most of her works. The
war era had an important impact on her work,
which shows struggle or conflict, but it is also
very magical and mystical . She was very close
to Max Ernst, and is the last survivor of the
Surrealist group founded in the early 1920's

Pioneer artist Leonora Carrington paints bold and imaginative strokes with her cardinal emphasis. Aries fires up the Cancerian imagination and Libra renders it harmoniously on canvas. The fixed planets also contribute with Taurus capturing the feel or texture, Leo adding light, majesty, boldness, and creativity, and Aquarius emphasizing originality, strangeness, and genius. Except for Eris, and possibly the Asc and MC, there are no mutable planets, indicating lack of versatility, flexibility, and coordination. There are four planets in Aries so that this is a very confident, dynamic, and energetic individual. The Sun here loves life and living and staying active and positive. Mercury in Aries helps communicate the ego's desires, Venus consolidates them, and Mars puts them into action. Mercury here is a strong and self-centered mind. Venus in Aries values courage and initiative. Mars is dignified in Aries giving boundless energy, strength, and courage. Moon in Libra gives some balance to the Aries emphasis, making the native less aggressive and more cordial and sociable. It also makes the native more attractive and artistic. Jupiter in Taurus is the traveling artist and musician, and money and material needs seem to come when necessary. The native is also stubborn and sensual and can have a materialistic philosophy or view of life. Saturn in Cancer is the mother and the domestic. These people are very security-concious and survival-oriented and need to have a sense of roots or belonging, which home and family usually provide. They are also very colorful and imaginative and make fine painters. Uranus in Aquarius, like Mars, is in its own sign, giving an unbeatable sense of truth, an absolute need for freedom and independance, and a pure kind of genius and originality. With both Mars ands Uranus dignified, there is very little these people cannot do. Uranus here also gives a love of humanity and humanitarian causes. Neptune in Leo dreams of fame and power and romantic love. This is a very creative and artistic generation that gave birth to and developed the Hollywood phenomena. Pluto in Cancer people scare others and themselves with their deep and powerful emotions and are the mainstay or pillars of our home and family institutions. They are very much into food and housing and security.
