Yesterday I stumbled about a documentary/art film that left me speechless.

It's a portrait of a love story between two performance artists who love each other so much, that they decide to undergo several surgeries to merge their bodies, or to approximate them, dissolving the boundaries between them and creating a third entity that is their relationship.
Then they created the "Pandrogyne Manifesto" to declare a new step of human evolution.

My first thoughts were: You guys must have had a hell of a Neptune Square…..and I was nearly right.
They have a T-Square with Sun, Uranus and Neptune in Composite - but many other very beautiful and interesting aspects.

Here is the link: http://www.balladofgenesisandladyjaye.com/ballad/

I'm so curious what you think about their charts!!


Synopsis:

Genesis P-Orridge has been one of the most innovative and influential figures in music and fine art for the last 30 years. A link between the pre- and post-punk eras, he is the founder of the legendary groups COUM Transmissions (1969-1976), Throbbing Gristle (1975-1981), and Psychic TV (1981 to present), all of which merged performance art with rock music. Celebrated by critics and art historians as a progenitor of “industrial music”, his innovations have transformed the character of rock and electronic music while his prodigious efforts to expand the boundaries of live performance have radically altered the way people experience sound in a concert setting.

But that’s just the preamble to the story. Defying artistic boundaries, Genesis has re-defined his art as a challenge to the limits of biology. In 2000, Genesis began a series of surgeries in order to more closely resemble his love, Lady Jaye (née Jacqueline Breyer), who remained his other half and artistic partner for nearly 15 years. It was the ultimate act of devotion, and Genesis’s most risky, ambitious, and subversive performance to date: he became a she in a triumphant act of artistic self-expression. Genesis called this project “Creating the Pandrogyne”. Influenced, like so much of Genesis  work, by Brion Gysin and William Burroughs  Cut Ups , it was an attempt to deconstruct two individual identities through the creation of an indivisible third.

This is a love story, and a portrait of two lives that illustrate the transformative powers of both love and art. Marie Losier brings to us the most intimate details of Genesis’s extraordinary, uncanny world. In warm and intimate images captured handheld, Losier crafts a labyrinthine mise-en-scene of interviews, home movies, and performance footage. The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye documents a truly new brand of Romantic consciousness, one in defiance of the daily dehumanization of the body by the pervasive presence of advertising and pornography, conveying beauty, dignity and devotion from a perspective never before seen on film.

Genesis' Moon conjunct her Saturn--and he wants to form himself in her image. This is classic of an emulating urge, on the physical level. Saturn is form and restriction, Moon is the body and the emotional self. With Lilith here the emotional urges are overpowering, consuming. Anything aspecting such a person's Moon-Lilith conjunction is going to have a profound effect on them... There is a willingness here to go to extremes and in this case the extreme takes a tangible and rather heavy form. The inspiration comes from the tense square formed from her Moon and Genesis' Mercury-Venus thang there. It's something which MUST be done eh?

Genesis' Venus conjunct her Moon again points to a fascination and deep resonance with her physical body, a profound appreciation of and identification with her femininity.

Wow, that's a profound and very illuminating analysis, yungang_grotto!
Never thought about a Saturn/Moon Connection in that way….and the Lilith/Moon thing as well.
Always wondered what that conjunction in the natal could imply….dark emotions, mysterious relationship to the feminine….makes perfect sense!
