Description
(2021) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil, ink and acrylics on paper.
The geomantic figure puer. Puer is Latin for "boy" and is associated with the element of fire and the astrological condition of Mars in aries.
Puer possesses energy and purpose and is favorable for interactions with others and material expression. In a reading it stands for passionate energy, force, for undertaking a quest and for sudden change. It is also associated with justice. There is an issue with a lack of reflection and circumspection. It is unfavorable in any matter where stability, prudence and maturity are called for.
For my image and to express the affinity of the figure with fire I chose a boy contemplating an array of burning candles.
