I love the Bells Hells because each of them has an entirely different genre of backstory. Imogen comes from a modernist southern gothic (the actual literary genre) novel. Ashton comes from a mid 90s Gregg Araki movie. Chetney comes from a Better Call Saul style prequel show where at first you think “haha the funny comedy man has a prequel” and then you experience the saddest and most in depth character study of your life. Fearne comes from the meeting place of Over the Garden Wall, the Czech stop motion A Midsummer Night’s Dream from 1959, and the 1992 Sandman animated short. It’s all great.

Asteroids Related to the Mind, Body, and Soul - A Different Perspective of Your Self in Your Birth Chart

We all know the placements of our major planets and points and what aspects they make. But there are a few asteroids that may reflect your being in a way you hadn't seen before. Maybe you felt there was a layer missing from your astrological profile. Add these asteroids to see…

13954, 55555, 11051, 3349, 16, 2815, 23437, 390, 37452, 1488

Born 13954

Named after Max Born, a German-Jewish physicist and mathematician

Can be read as born, as in birth

Could give context to where and how you were born, circumstances around your birth

I have mine conjunct North Node in Libra in the 3rd house. I have a feeling this is not so much about my own birth as it is about me having children. I think this only because there are a lot of other markers in my chart related to children and marriage.

DNA 55555

Named after DNA, our genetic instructions

Astrologically, could refer to your family, genetic traits, or anything that is passed down from one generation to the next

I have mine conjunct the Arabic lot for grandparents [ASC+Jupiter-House 2nd] in Sagittarius in 4th House. My grandmother’s Sun sign is in Sagittarius, and even though we don't know my grandfather's exact birthdate, it is either in Sagittarius or Capricorn. The 4th house has to do with the home, family, mother, etc., which matches since they are my maternal grandparents.

Racine 11051

Named after Jean Racine, a French author from the 1600s

Racine means root or origin in French

Could refer to genealogical roots, your home, ethnic origins, or anything that gives you feel a sense of familiarity

Mine is trine Patria 1347 (and Jupiter) and semi-sextile Saturn. Patria means native country or homeland. Saturn typically refers to male authority figures and fathers. I have always been interested in my family history and I ask my dad about it ALL THE TIME.

[Your First and/or Last Name asteroid]

My last name asteroid is conjunct Nobel 6032. I wish! haha

Manas 3349

Named after Epic of Manas, a Kyrgyz epic poem

Can be read as manas meaning the mind that makes us different from animals in Sanskrit

Mine is quintile Soma 2815 (further down). An interesting connection between mind and body…It is also trine my Mercury and Uranus, planets associated with the mind, thought, and intellect.

Psyche 16

Named after Psyche, the Greek goddess of the soul

Psyche refers to the human soul, mind, or spirit

Mine is trine Moon (Aquarius), sextile Venus (Aries), sextile POF (Leo), sextile Aura (Aries). These are mostly feminine planets, but all my feminine planets are in masculine signs. A mix between feminine and masculine ways of being? I'm overall a very feminine person, but emotionally, I process things in a more traditionally masculine way.

Soma 2815

Named after Soma cube, a puzzle invented by Piet Hein, which in turn was named after the drug called soma featured in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Soma is also a word meaning the body of an organism

Mine is conjunct Alma 390 in Pisces in the 8th House. Although I am very Aquarian, I do have my Aquarius Sun very close to Pisces and my Mars is also in Pisces. These two planets are prominent and strong in my natal chart. Even if I am very Aquarian, I can see an underlying Pisces nature in me, supported by this Soma-Alma conjunction.

Sima 23437

Unknown name origin; discovered by Czech astronomer, Antonín Mrkos

Could have been named after Josef Šíma, a Czech modernist painter, but this is just my own guess. Please don’t quote me on this.

Sima means face and implies a beautiful face in Iranian and Turkish languages.

The only one out of the lot to aspect my ascendant but it’s a minor aspect (semi-square). 😕 Hopefully, this means something good about my face lol 😏

Alma 390

Named after the Alma River in the Crimean Mountains

Alma is a popular name meaning apple in Crimean Tatar and in many other languages

But can also be read as alma meaning spirit and soul in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and kindness in Latin

As mentioned earlier, conjunct Soma.

Spirit 37452

Named after Spirit, the Mars Exploration Rover

Can be read as spirit meaning our soul and the intangible parts of ourselves

My Spirit is in Scorpio in the 3rd house trine Sun and Mars, both of which are prominent in my chart. Also, square Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune, another prominent configuration in my chart.

Aura 1488

Named after Aura River in Finland

Can be read as aura meaning the energy we give off and that surrounds us

Conjunct Venus in Aries 8th house, square Jupiter, quintile Neptune, and trine POF. Glad these planets are seen as fortunate and/or expansive. 😮‍💨 Do I give off a more happy-go-lucky vibe in person? 🤔

NOTE: These asteroids can be interpreted in many different ways just like planets. If it doesn’t “make sense” to you, maybe the asteroid is supposed to be interpreted in a different way in your chart.

If one or more of these asteroids are prominent in your natal chart, it can affect synastry with another person too. For example, I have Alma conjunct Soma conjunct my Saturn in Pisces in the 8th House. Someone else with their personal planets in Pisces (especially in the same degree) might leave a greater impression on me or affect me deeply. Anything touching my Saturn will most likely also touch my Alma-Soma conjunction.

Real-life example: I just discovered an artist that I REALLY like. Been listening to their music on repeat every day, no breaks. It's getting insane 🥲😂 He has so many personal planets in Pisces and conjunct my Alma-Soma conjunction too. Not to mention there's also an Eros trine Psyche synastric aspect.

Let me know what aspects and placements you guys find with these asteroids ☄️

No Architects: The southern slopes of the first large suburb in the capital city of Prague have always attracted people to posh residential living. However, the romanticizing delirium of typical construction with steep roofs, ostentatious stone soffits and superfluous brick cladding used to be a laughing stock for modernist architects in their time, who dreamed of strip windows, flat roofs and central heating.

Week 1: Speaker Research

 Carol Twombly, Joseph Churchward, Veronika Burian

Carol Twombly

Carol Twombly is an American type designer. She created several prominent typefaces of the second half of the 20th century, including Myriad, Adobe Caslon, and Nueva. Much of her well-known work comes from her time creating adobe original typefaces, alongside Robert Slimbach. Originally Twombly pursued sculpture, before turning to Graphic Design, and eventually type design, where she worked with early digital design systems. 

Sources: Carol Twombly Profile, Linotype. https://www.linotype.com/606/carol-twombly.html. Carol Twombly Profile, Adobe. https://fonts.adobe.com/designers/carol-twombly. The Digital Wave, Eye Magazine. https://www.eyemagazine.com/feature/article/the-digital-wave

Above: Carol Twombly, font shop. 

Above: Nueva, a serif typeface by Twombly based on calligraphy, is made as a lowercase companion to her display typeface Charlemagne. The stroke is high contrast, and the counters on some letters (p, b) are asymmetrical, as are the apertures of others (m, u). This gives the typefaces a loose, hand-written and historical feel.

Above (Adobe Fonts): Viva, designed by Twombly in 1993. The typeface is inline and serif with narrow kerning (note the distance between ‘T’ and ‘h’), with an ascender height taller than the x-height. The letterforms are wide and fairly short. Like many of Twombly’s typefaces, Viva has a classical feel, as though it wouldn’t be out of place in a medieval manuscript. Viva showcases the skilful re-interpretation of historical type forms that made Twombly so successful in digitising classic typefaces for Adobe.

Joseph Churchward

Joseph Churchward was a Samoan New Zealand typographer of international renown, responsible for over 600 typefaces. His career began in the late 1950s, but he rose to prominence in the 60s with his typeface “Churchward 69”. He was known for his skill creating letterforms by hand, a practice he maintained throughout his life. His typefaces were digitised in the 2000s, but he noted that the computer renditions did not do justice to the original hand-drawn forms. He drew inspiration from his heritage and his family, naming many of his typefaces after family members.

Joseph Churchward, The Designers Institute. https://designersinstitute.nz/initiatives/black-pin/2009/joseph-churchward/interview/

Above: Joseph Churchward (Image: Louis Hatton & Grant Fell)

Above: the bold font of Churchward 69, Churchward’s most well-known typeface. The sans serif, block-like forms, narrow counters, and low/no contrast stroke of the type-face give it a clean, modernist feel, popular during the mid-20th century. The simple forms look as though they were created with a single stroke. 

Below: An advertisement for Samoa Coconut Cream created by Churchwood in the 1980s. The warm, tropical colours pair well with the campaign tone (island sun, the creamiest of the pacific) which draws on geographical context. The serif, calligraphic display type used for “coconut cream” reminds me of advertisements of the 1950s. It suggests luxury and comfort, which supports the copywriting (creamiest of the Pacific, super thick, super taste, super smell) which implies quality and reliability. The rounded serif typeface used on the tins suits the rounded letters (double cs, double o,) and the curved details support the idea of luxury like the display type.

Veronika Burian

Veronika Burian is a Czech type designer, and co-founder of the foundry TypeTogether, alongside Jose Scaglione. She began her studies in industrial design, but eventually found a talent for type design. Her typefaces have been recognised for various typographic awards, including The TDC certificate of excellence in typography. She is also a co-creator of Alphabette, a digital typography platform for women. She lectures on type design at various universities, and mentors young type designers. Burian is a supporter of digital and print fonts co-existing, and believes type design on the internet has lots of potential. “the internet...(has) significantly increased the complexity of the type design profession.”- in her opinion, type, as a “carrier of culture”, matters more and more in the digital age. She focuses on creating quality, versatile typefaces that work in a range of different contexts, digital and print.

Above: Veronika Burian, Granshan.

Above : Maiola, which won the TDC Certificate of Excellence in Type Design 2004. The wedge serifs, thin, high contrast strokes, diamond tittle and combination of straight and curved strokes give the typeface a sharp, calligraphic feel. It reminds me of old Blackletter styles, although more subtle and therefore more versatile.

Above (Burian and Scaglione): Abril is available in over 20 fonts, the range of which can be seen in the top image (Abril Display Black and Abril text Italic ?). The bolder fonts have very thick strokes, narrow, arch-shaped counters, and narrow kerning (note the serif overlap on h, r and i, f). The text fonts have a narrower stroke and wider counters, making them more readable, but retain key characteristics like a combination of hairline and curved serifs. In my opinion the serif combination gives the typeface a mid-century look, especially with very thick strokes and emphasised stroke contrast as in Abril Display Black.

Do you know famous abstractionist school painter globally?

Do you know famous abstractionist school painter globally? Wassily Kandinsky, as a Russian-born French painter, art theorist and a pioneer of abstract art, cannot be ignored as for abstractionist school. This article would focus on this master and get you familiar with abstractionist school. And, as usual, a decorative picture easel stand for wedding would be introduced at the end of the article. Welcome to contact us if you want to order picture easel tabletop wholesale.

Wassily Kandinsky - Pioneer of Abstractionist School

He is a serious law professor, but his heart is surging, he can hear the color in the music, he can freeze the symphony on the canvas, and from World War I to World War II, he fights between the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. Self-expression space.

He is the most expensive painter in Russian history and also bears the name of Lenin Guard, the most important artist of modern art and the father of abstract painting. Some people attribute Kandinsky's avant-garde exploration of abstraction to his synesthesia (synesthesia, as the name suggests, a genetic mutation that allows you to listen to music to see colors or smell), but this is too frivolous. In the painter's series of art theoretical works "On the Spirit in Art", "Point, Line, Surface", etc., all kinds of possibilities of abstraction are seriously discussed.

The original meaning of the word "abstract" refers to the abandonment of the non-essential elements of things and the extraction of the essential elements. Some of the original artworks and most of the arts and crafts works, as well as art styles such as calligraphy and architecture, should be abstract art in terms of the deviation of their images from natural objects. But as a conscious artistic trend of thought, abstract art emerged in Europe and the United States in the 20th century. Many modernist art schools such as Abstract Expressionism, Cubism, Tahiism, etc. are all influenced by this.

Abstract art is the name opposite to figurative art, and can also be called non-figurative art. It is characterized by the lack of depiction and the use of emotional methods to express concepts and paintings, and this method basically belongs to expressive realism, first seen in Kandinsky's works. It is a fusion of various anti-traditional artistic influences, especially Fauvism and Cubism.

"Abstract" art does not exist in Picasso's view. He believes that some people emphasize style and some people emphasize life. For Michel Sèvre, abstract art is: "I call all art without any reminder, without any recollection of reality, whether or not this reality is the painter's starting point. Art.

In fact, Fauvism and Cubism promoted the independent development of shape and color. It was Kandinsky who further discovered its mystery when he painted the first decidedly abstract watercolour in 1910, a vibrant overlapping dots of colour without figurative aspirations.
