Birthday

Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was a French painter, graphic artist, and sculptor. He was born on 31 December 1869 in Cateau-Cambrésis, France, and died on 3 November 1954 in Nice, France. Matisse is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and became known above all for his colorful and expressive works.

The painting "The Red Cell " from 1907 is exhibited at the MoMA in New York. It shows a woman sitting on a bed surrounded by a red blanket. It is considered one of the most important examples of Matisse's use of color and line.

Another famous work is "The Green Snake " from 1907, which is now exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. It shows a woman being embraced by a green snake and is attributed to the Fauvist movement, characterized by vivid colors.

His painting "The Blue Niche " from 1947 is exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It shows a woman sitting in a blue alcove. It was from the late phase of his career when he became more involved with collages and paper cuts.

Daily aspects

Moon (Cancer) Opposition Mercury (Capricorn)

Good spiritual gifts are available during this time, but you could misuse them. There may be disillusion when it comes to the truth and the way you think. You could be volatile, act superficially, or act too hastily.

Moon → Leo | Photo: © ivgaphotographer / Shutterstock.com
Moon → Leo

The Leo Moon makes us dominant and confident. Since Leo is the symbol of self-expression, theater, and stage, we can define the orientation as external. You can be very creative. But flirting, pleasure and enjoyment are also part of those Leo days after all the whole world is ultimately one big stage and we are all actors.

Sun (Capricorn) Opposition Jupiter (Cancer)

The opposition between the Sun and Jupiter can cause vanity, extravagance, and waste. You may revolt against the law and superiors, and legal conflicts can occur. Your powerful self-will is noticeable! It's not a good time to take out a lotto ticket or gamble.
