Moon+Uranus+Mercury = photography
Is there a connection between astrology and photography? Can one identify a person’s inclination toward this modern art form in their natal chart? Modern, compared to the long history of astrology. Of course… because ancient astrologers did not know tools such as the camera. But in the last century, new technologies and new devices have allowed people to express new inner qualities, celebrations, even art. Today, all mobile phone owners take photos everywhere and all the time. But this does not mean they are all professional photographers.
Only those individuals who have developed their abilities in this field become professional photographers, using them to find work, earn a living, and achieve success in society.
These individuals became the subject of my research into the connection between such talents and astrology.
What exactly is “photography”?
The first step at the beginning of the research was to define the key qualities of this group of professionals, in order to associate them with planets in the natal chart.
The key words turned out to be:
● “communication” between photographer and observer
● suspension of time and space (“capturing” in an image)
● interpretation of the surrounding environment
● a part of the photographer’s identity is transferred into the photograph when the author selects the “right” image
● use of a specific instrument: the camera
Which planets?
Second step: identify the planets associated with these qualities.
The following were selected:
Mercury: eyes, communication, speed, immediacy.
Moon: sensitivity, ability to perceive the boundaries of visibility, desire to “permanently” capture a situation, a face, or the surrounding environment. The Moon archetype is connected with memory, and generally with preserving the “status quo.” The Moon signifies “home,” and for a photographer, everything captured in an image holds the significance of always keeping it close, “at home”—their feelings, impressions, emotions.
Uranus: technological instruments (camera), choice
How do they appear in photographers’ horoscopes?
Third step: collect natal charts
48 natal charts of famous professionals were collected.
From analyzing these charts and calculating all possible aspects, the following results were obtained:
in 26 out of 48 cases, the Moon was in aspect to Mercury
in 26 out of 48 cases, the Moon was in aspect to Uranus
in 29 out of 48 cases, Mercury was in aspect to Uranus
Numbers such as 26 and 29 proved higher than expected, and greater than aspects between other planets. For example, the aspect between Venus and Uranus occurred only 16 times!
Interpretation.
To become a great photographer, one must have a strong desire to express personal feelings while simultaneously conveying what happens in the world through the lens of one’s own emotional perspective. (Moon + Mercury)
Technology greatly assists in delivering the message, allowing it to remain constantly present and alive… Uranus also enables the selection of those moments which the Moon considers most significant, full of emotion, brightness. (Moon + Uranus)
If Mercury signifies “eyes,” sight, gaze, communication, then such a frequently recurring aspect with Uranus, evident in our 48 charts, indicates that technology and the skill of selection play a strong role in modern professional photography. (Mercury + Uranus)
Conclusions.
Astrology shows us that in a horoscope, we do not find “fate”—that (in my opinion…) depends on the circumstances of life itself—but rather, we can find clear indicators of our inclinations. Such results do not mean that every person with strong links between the Moon, Uranus, and Mercury must become a photographer, but rather, that—should he or she choose to pursue photography—they have considerable potential for success…
