"You gave all of us fortune to be with you and to view your glorious creation in an evening of love and healing energy we will always cherish. Every time I look at your creation
I smile, feel your love and feel the love and protection from the universe. God bless you, much love and light to you."

"The
world now has two artists who have created an art form that transforms a human emotion into physical form by revealing a new image on the canvas as if mysteriously abstracted from our thoughts. Although the style and
technique of these two artists are uniquely different and original, the transformation on canvas is conspicuously similar."
When we look at one of Jacqueline Ripstein’s paintings, are we experiencing art, poetry or
a mystical journey? As a professional astrologer, I could not resist investigating the synastry (a chart comparison method) between Salvador Dali and Jacqueline Ripstein. I should not have been surprised to find
both charts containing a stellium in Taurus, one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and a sign related to talent and creativity, A stellium is an extraordinary astrological configuration in which three or more planets are
grouped together by sign and/or house position. The stellium signifies a more complex and intense level of functioning.
Salvador and Jacqueline are two kindred spirits who could have known each other in this
lifetime, but didn’t. The connection between the Sun in Jacqueline’s chart and the MidHeaven in Salvador’s chart indicates the same mission in life. The question remains, when did God introduce them and commissioned
them as His messengers?
Jacqueline’s painting, “Reflection” embarked my curiosity on a time travel sojourn to the 16th century. Michaelangelo is totally consumed by painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel from
1508 to 1512. A young apprentice is at his side, perhaps a sibling, with brush at hand. Who is this young artist? Now travel with me forward to the 20th century. A young girl, 12 years old, born in
Mexico, starts to paint like a master without any formal training. She has done this before, somewhere back in time. I find two planetary connections with the great master Michaelangelo, North Node/Mercury both at
exact 28 degrees of Aquarius and Sun Jupiter/Venus. I now know that young artist at Michaelangelo’s side was Jacqueline.
