It transpires that the lexigram of my full name(s) includes the word MOVIES.

I've not seen Into the Wild, but I was listening to the music on YouTube today and have read up on the story.

Chris McCandless has a Neptune heavy chart, I found out when I astro-snooped (though I don't have a time or place of birth). But inconveniently, I couldn't make Neptune out of his name. But he has Mars in Pisces, and a full name with lots of handy words in it. If only there was a U.

CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON MCCANDLESS

HE HEADS TO A NORTHERN LAND
LOST IN PISCEAN MIST
DIRT, STARS AND STONE
ST CHRISTOPHER'S LANTERN SHINES
A TORCH ON THE SCREEN
A TALE TOLD IN A TOME

Fabulous!
And no errors too!
And you used an abbreviation correctly too!
You can use ST., because you do have the word SAINT in that name!
Very well done! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McCandless
His February 12th. birthday would make him Aquarius, not a Pisces.
Is there another meaning to your phrase:
quote:
LOST IN PISCEAN MIST

?

Er, I couldn't make Neptunian That would have been more correct.

Piscean doesn't fit so well but he does have a strong natal Piscean Mars, it's Trine Neptune. A man on a spiritual quest.

His natal Sun is in Aquarius Square Neptune. There are a lot of Neptune contacts on his chart, including a T-Square. Not a person motivated by self-preservation. Or, indeed, overally concerned with sensible preparation. He has his detractors, whose perspective I can understand. But I can also appreciate why he chose his life's path.

I am so happy you did NOT succumb to the temptation to add a letter "U" to your great Lexigram as many would have done!
You explained very succinctly why you chose to use "PISCEAN" in lieu of "NEPTUNE"!
A master Lexigramming never adds words or letters not found within the "SOURCE" they are Lexigramming.
Improvising and retaining the power of a true error free Lexigram is more important than trying to force it to say something that is not actually there to be found.
YOU DID GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not like a novice at all!!!!!!!!!
AND...YOUR TOPIC IS A RATHER FASCINATING ONE TOO!
I really like how you summarized him and his passion in the mini biographical Lexigram you created! Your's is a prime example of showing that a Lexigram need not be long to have deep and true meaning!
I am very impressed blue moon!
NAMASTE`

LOL!
Now you have me thinking on his name too!
Lines keep going through my mind!

CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON MCCANDLESS

SOME MONTHS LATER
ON THE ROAD,
HIS LAST TRIP,
HIS CHOSEN PATH,
DESPITE HIS HOPES AND DREAMS,
HIS TRIALS AND ORDEALS,
AND THE RAIN,
ON THE NORTHERN TRAILS COLD,
DRAIN HIM.
NO CLEAR MAP HAD HE.
AND SO,
THE LOST SAD MAN,
THE DEAR DREAMER ONE,
DIES ALONE

HIS BIOGRAPHY

From the pupil to the master. How did I miss DREAMER? The perfect word.

Thank you for the compliments.

Whenever I wanted to know what a word meant my dad would say: look it up in the dictionary. I think he was grooming me to finish off his crossword clues. He doesn't like the anagram ones, he gets me to do them if I am around.

I love playing around with words, I don't know why I didn't venture over here before. I broke out into poetry with this subject matter, there is something inspiring in it. Though with my Taurus stellium I woudn't have set out without a rucksack full of gear, and there would be a notebook and pen in there as well.

Thank you for the compliment!
I learned how to read and write on my on at about age 4 1/2 from encyclopedias and dictionaries.
This caused me considerable trouble once I went to school as first off I was soooo bored with "Dick and Jane" being already into Lewis Carroll and Shakespeare, and not to forget, Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine..plus the Bible (my mother was ultra religious). Secondly; my printing looked like Times Roman or an abbreviated Spencerian script. The teachers gave me many a failing grade for refusing to write in juvenile child like block letters with those absolutely horrid fat pencils! I was already using various art pencils and writing with my own hand tipped feather quills and my homemade inks. Only the "big" kids were allowed to use a fountain pen and inkwell. Yeah, in my early school years the desks still had inkwells and fountain pens for awhile. Weird!
Until my eyesight was damaged I had read or consulted dictionaries often several times a week for well over 4 and 1/2 decades til that time.
I still read them for pleasure but do it on a computer so I can enlarge the font size or I use a big magnifying glass!
Today I would venture to guess I was browsing dictionaries at least 30+ times.
Thank you for your interest in words and Lexigramming!
It is truly a delight meeting a fellow logophile!

I too look up words I do not know the spelling or definition or etymology of.
So your father was right in that respect..look the word(s) up!
Again...

Last night I channel-hopped onto this film and started getting into it. It's a well-worn story as Elizabeth could fight it out for the title of both most popular and greatest English monarch. But I thought it was well told.

The relationship with Walter Raleigh was interesting, she admired him and his aspirations to beat the Spanish in plundering the New World. Accepting his marriage to her friend was not easy. The drama includes a religious-based plot to overthrow her and of course there was a beheading, of her cousin, an event known to have greatly troubled her at the time and after.

I had a little go at lexigramming and there were some intruiging phrases that got churned up.


ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE


THE GOAL TO GLOBALIZE

I LET THEE GO

AT THE ZENITH

LIT ABLAZE (beacons were burned on hillsides to warn of the approaching Spanish Armada)


HATE
A ZEALOT BAITED
A BEHEADING

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!
Very succinct and 0 errors too!
It is intriguing to Lexigram such famous persons and times!
Some my husband and I did on famous people:
Thirty-Eighth President,
Gerald Rudolph Ford, Junior

Napoleone di Buonaparte
The First

Sixteenth President,
Abraham Lincoln

Just being silly, it seems to suit the film ~ the main character seems to be permanently angry. He's quite a scary guy.

I watched it in two halves. It was walking along the street and realised "I bleed" was in it ~ then I played around and the question "will he die?" was in it, too. He didn't, though. If you haven't seen it and intend to one day, that isn't too much of a plot spoiler.

An "S" would have been nice. I realised I had made a mistake and put in 'blows'. It sounded better but was erroneous.

p.s I like your famous people lexigrams

Being something of an admirer of the work of Daniel Day-Lewis, my view is terribly biased. He's one of those actors I think is good in everything.

I've been watching 'the Tudors' and was intrigued by the potrayal of Henry Tudor (Jonathon Rhys-Meyers) and Catherine of Aragon (Maria Doyle Kennedy).

The portrayal on her is sympathetic but I still asked myself why she didn't just gve it up and go into a nunnery to make everyone's life easier.

Then I saw her birth chart.

In England she is normally known as

CATHERINE OF ARAGON

A FANATIC
A FIERCE HEART
HE CAN'T FORCE GRANITE


Really she is CATHERINE OF ARAGON AND CASTILLE

FIRE STAR
THERE ARE EIGHT ON HER CHART

SHE IS IN THE RIGHT

THE TRUTH SET IN STONE


With her (2nd) husband

HENRY TUDOR
CATHERINE OF ARAGON


HATRED AND RAGE
A FIERY THRONE
THE RING OF TRUTH

Whoa! That is some wicked chart!

Uh oh....Ooops!

HENRY TUDOR does not have any UNIQUE individual words in your Lexigram.

Simply merging the names gives falseness to a couple's Lexigram.

Thanks ~ any guidelines on doing couple's lexigrams?

There's not much in Anne Boleyn as a name on it's own that I can find so far.

I found this using Google (couples lexigrams)
http://www.psychecommunity.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?3160.12

Is this right? :

Union ~ word made using both names

Compatibility ~ words they can both make in their names

Unique ~ word only one of the names can make
