They say Uranus would, but you know, that's highly inconsistant in real life, which is typical of Uranus. LOL. Scorpio Mars often seems to me to want to shock, or at least unnerve people a bit. Various Leo placements do seem to want to shock. Here's career shocker Madonna's chart (I suppose her Uranus would be worth looking at too,as it is in Leo too): http://www.khaldea.com/charts/madonna.shtml PS. this is her confirmed birth time. I know there's conflisting info ont his, but she's definitely a Virgo rising. And Courtney Love (Leo mercury conjunct MC - also note her Uranus is in the 11th): http://www.khaldea.com/charts/courtneylove.shtml Interestingly I was doing some studies of "shocking" artists of teh 20th century, and Saturn, especially a Saturn singleton, was common standoout int heir charts. Sometimes Pluto singeltons and Uranus singletons seems singificant too, but not always in a "shocking" way. These Saturn singleton artists seem to respresent individuals who upset the status quo in some conscious or unconscious form of rebellion. Among them: Max Ernst - Saturn personal house singleton in 3rd. He was one of the earliest Dadaists and was severely criticized for his unothrodox techniques and irreverent subject matter. Paul Klee - Saturn cardinal singleton in the 1st. Klee was an instructor that the avante-garde art school Bauhaus and was persecuted by the Nazis. His art publiclly was denounced as offensive and "dengenerate". Many of his works were destroyed by the Nazis. Franz Marc - Saturn fire singelton in 12th; also Uranus social house singleton in 6th. He was friends of Klee and member of the avante-garde Blau Rider group with Kandinsky. Although less known than Klee or Kandinsky, Marc was very progressive minded about art's role in culture and society and was a key member of the Bluau Rider, that promoted this kind of agenda. Wassily Kandisky - Saturn universal house singleton in 12th; alos has Pluto earth singelton in 6th. He was a member of the Blau Rider and instructor at Bauhaus. He challanged traditional color theory, objective art and art pedigogy. Andy Warhol - Saturn double singelton, only mutable and only personal house, in 4th; also had a Pluto water singleton in 11th. Early artist of the Dada-inspired "Pop Art" trend and a walking shockfest. P*ssed off a lot of people. I also found Uranus singletons were common too, but there was a trend that in charts of artist who were *individualistic*, without be wildly shocking on a public level, had Uranus singletons, and not Pluto or Saturn singletons. These included Mondrian, Braque, Dali and Miro. The odd ball in the group was, not surprising, Picasso, who had a Moon and Mercury singelton. IP: Logged |

Ooo, oo, I think I know this one and can be of actual use maybe this time!A singleton, I think, is a planet which is different in some way from all the others. And I think it's usually defined by their elements but not always. Like, and Aries Moon, might be the only Fire sign in a chart, but it might also be like a Fixed planet singleton etc... Does this help? EDIT: Um, I also think more emphasis is placed on a singleton because of it's uniqueness.... IP: Logged |

I think that is right Sue. Not counting the Ascendant but the others are both fire signs, so yeah, it wouldn't be a FIRE singleton.On Uranus. I know someone with a Uranus Singleton (only Fire) and he came be very mannerable and lovely then suddenly say something very very shocking (albeit usually quite funny). His conversation style is typical low key dreamy Pisces Mercury then WHAM! right in your face with something usually very unexpected. I like it though I am sure some find it unnerving. Albert Einstein also had a URANUS singleton. That singleton is often equated with intense genius and creativity of some sort. The people are unusual. I have Uranus trine Ascendant. I am a sort of trained composed person (think pathetic trained seal)despite a fair amount of heat and "blah blah chat up" in my chart. Once in the blue moon, however, I behave in a very shocking manner. And some jaws do fall. Maybe it's the Uranus. IP: Logged |

neat topic! Gemini Nymph- did you study 20th centry art history by any change? lol.. All of those artists were covered in the "Art of the Avant-Gardes" course I took a while ago. I was really fascinated by Franz Marc, and wanted to know his birth chart. Could you give me a link to it perhaps, or let me know the birth time? (I'm sure I could easily find the date.. I might have even written it down somewhere already). He was the oddball because of his whole thing with animals.. which is why I was particularly drawn to him. LILY- quote: His conversation style is typical low key dreamy Pisces Mercury then WHAM! right in your face with something usually very unexpected.
Weird. This is EXACTLY how I communicate. I've got Mercury in Aquarius, conjunct Sun and Venus, opposing my Moon and squaring Pluto. Maybe it's not astrology, maybe I'm just a weirdo. On the topic of a fondness for shocking.. of course Uranus comes to mind first. But I suppose it may have to do with what ends that shocking is intended for. For example- I imagine that Leo placements would want to shock for the sake of winning other people's attention. Scorpio placements I think would want to shock for the sake of playing with people's minds. I'm allowed to say that. I have Scorpio placements and that's exactly why I like to do it. (scared of the Anti-Generalization Crew here). I think Pisces placements may make them do it just to get out of a conversation and not have to explain themselves. Example: someone asks an uncomfortable question and they say something completely off topic and wacky just to escape. I think Aquarius placements and the Uranus aspecting planets makes people shock for the sake of shock. To disturb the status quo, as has been written many a time, I'm sure. whoa, why am I writing such long posts lately?

I'm not sure about this "shock for the sake of shocking..." Nymph. I have Uranus conj. the Asc., and even though it's in the 12th and not the 1st (and I think that's a good thing, lol), and therefore somewhat subdued, there are times when I feel I just have to do or say something (oh yeah, it's also conj. Mercury) because if I don't I am going to explode from the pressure of keeping it all in.. It's more that I will do or say something DESPITE the fact that it will shock (and I am aware of that), bec. I can't stand feeling boxed in by conventions and expectations, and NOT BECAUSE it will shock. Of course, that's just me. But I do think people tend to do shocking things for their own personal reasons, and often don't realize they are being shocking. Even trend setters, I am sure. Once it's veers into creativity, I am sure it is way too bothersome to try to shock. Inspiration and flow are way more important.I am surprised by the Saturn Singletons, GeminiNymph. I wouldn't have expected that. Paul Klee is one of my all time favorites. I have no clue what his sign is, but I always felt his whimsical work indicates some strong Virgo. Love Miro too, and Kandinsky. Naturally, Picasso has to be different, lol. I looove this photograph of him that sometimes appears in magazines where he just stares into the camera. I forget what it's supposed to advertise.. Genius, I guess.... IP: Logged |

I think it probably has something to do with house 10 (external image/ father etc). With some afflicted aspect there you can shock the public (house 10) IP: Logged |

Yes , Sand from having a mother who loved to shock. I would say Uranus. She had Aqua Sun exactly combust Mercury---TOO much intense Uranus ------------------ Enlightenment doesn't result from sitting around visualizing images of light, but from integrating the darker aspects of the self into the conscious personality Jung Be as wise as a serpents,gentle as doves.

Uranus is unconventional, but nowadays that's not so shocking. Purple hair and such doesn't really garner shock even from the older generation. What about Neptune? I guess it depends on what kind of shock you are talking about.------------------ "To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing." Aristotle IP: Logged |
