* On his 18th birthday, Charles E. Burchfield wrote in his diary: "Eighteen years ago, a calamity befell this family—a squalling calamity—eighteen years ago on a Sunday, I was born—at six o'clock in the evening." Recently described as "the mystic, cryptic painter of transcendental landscapes, trees with telekinetic halos, and haunted houses emanating ectoplasmic auras," he fittingly had Pluto closely conjunct Neptune and Pluto quincunx and ruling Uranus in Scorpio.
