✨Sérénade✨, 1988, Helen Frankenthaler…a perfect painting for the upcoming Venus in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces on Thursday, July 11th.
Helen Frankenthaler was among the most influential abstract artists of the mid-20th century. She invented the “soak-stain” technique, where she poured thinned down oil paint directly onto canvas she laid out on the floor.
Her color-soaked paintings are large, beautiful, and true testament to the triumph of color. Throughout out her career, Frankenthaler never ceased experimenting and innovating her approach.
“One really beautiful wrist motion, that is synchronized with your head and heart, you have it. It looks as if it were born in a minute.”- H. Frankenthaler
Gazing at this piece of art, we can recognize the colors of Venus (orange) and Neptune (blue-rose).
And so, this week, Venus in Cancer recognizing our values, beauty, love with an essence of seeking emotional warmth and security~ nourishment. Trines are an uplifting aspect, trines harmonize & uplift us. Neptune in Pisces is focused on ideals and abstractions (like the painting above!). It’s creative, artistic, musical- like a Sérénade- and spiritual.
During the transit, we can be aware and sense a harmonious blend of love, beauty, and spirituality and step into the comforting waters of our imagination & the unspoken language of the heart: compassion and love.
