Tyl had a long career in Advertising as well. I think his four careers, some of them concurrent, of Basketball, Opera, Advertising and Astrology gave him the clue that a mutable MC will often have several careers.
Right. I have mutable MC and IC (Gemini and Sagittarius). But I'm not counting on switching in the way he does! I just posted my chart here for comparison's sake. I battle between music, contemporary art, cinema, and art book publishing, but I see them all as one really. I also like writing poetry and poetic prose, graphic art and electronic music a lot, so "composing" and "architectural balance" is a recurrent theme. But Noel Tyl intrigues me. I think that oftentimes, a brilliant brain needs constant stimulation and the feeling that it's conquering new, previously unknown territories, thus, the desire to go deep into a subject, such as chess or astrology...
Yes, I agree, Neptune will often produce music but the type is shown by other factors. I always thought that my friend's Scorpio Moon and Mars in Leo and Tyl's Moon in Leo and Mercury-Mars-Pluto T square drew them to the dramatic Wagnerian Operas.
Melodramatic, yes
I see the link with Leo. My mom is a Leo sun and a musician, and yes opera is the hobby of her life. She just put out a CD of her arias for Christmas this year, at age 61! I did some of the piano accompaniment. I see that she likes a lot Mozart, which I see as very sunny Leonine.
How wonderful to be a classical pianist. My mother was a concert pianist as well as violinist when she was young, a sort of child prodigy, and I delighted in the wonderful music she played when we were children. Interestingly this ended when she grew up and she went on to become a teacher, shown by Mercury angular and in her career flow. I have always put her talent down to her Pisces South Node, indicating qualities brought forward from another life. She also had a large number of quintiles and biquintiles, showing creative talent.
My mom too! musician and music educator!!! She plays the piano, the cello, the accordion, and sings. She always loved dancing since a small child, and was chosen to enroll in children's professional dance school as a kid, but my grandfather categorically refused to let her be a dancer. A big regret in her life.
After the Cultural Revolution (where she spent nearly 10 years doing difficult agricultural labor), she was assigned to be a music educator, and after difficult adjustment to teaching, she became a real star teacher in the district, coaching children's choirs that won national awards. When she moved to the West, she became a private piano teacher, and again immensely popular with the students, even though she's also known for being really strict. She loves her job, and I don't think she'll ever want to retire, and she just looks young year after year! I always see the Capricorn Moon in the 5th house as my mom!
You are so fortunate in being able to compose music, this is a talent that I greatly admire and wish I had myself.
Alice
I think that if you have the desire to compose, you have the ability or the talent to do it. Everybody can be taught to compose, just like everybody can be taught how to write. Our world always needs more composers, poets, painters. Think about how much more beautiful the world would be
Is this a common thing with this aspect?
I have also ruler of my MC opposite MC/conjunct IC . Both are in 3rd house.
