Yes, the ceiling of Villa Farnesina is very beautiful and everybody liked the article since it was presented in Rome in 2006.
Moreover I visited with someone I believed special, anyway it looks we are very far from this, even if it is not longtime I went there.
But astrology remains.

Happy you liked the rest too. “Gates of passage” and isaritmia are taken from the work of Giuseppe Bezza and Marco Fumagalli, who lead the Italian traditional astrology group, CieloeTerra. Their work is very precious for the recovery of traditional astrology.

Come back when you want in my blog,

It was a lot of work but it was worthy.

And it was an happier time

Literally a beautiful post, Margherita.

The chapel Raphael built for Agostino was a location for Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons.

But the vault of Loggia di Galatea painted by Peruzzi is more than wonderful.
Moreover the Villa now is the head office of the Accademia dei Lincei, a association who had between its members Galileo Galilei and Giovan Battista Della Porta, and where astrology and natural magic surely were welcomed.

And many thanks for your gentle words about the text: in fact the lecture was very appreciated here in Rome.

Dear Margherita
Thank you for providing the opportunity to view the most beautiful and inspiring images of astrology I have ever seen. The paintings on the ceiling of the chapel built by Raphael are the most uplifting and awesome I have ever seen. It must be amazing to actually be in the same room looking up at them.
I also enjoyed reading the search for the ascendant as well and the explanation this finding then gave of the chart.
I shall be returning to look at the art work frequently!
kind regards Marg
