Reading the Cosmos

Free for members; $10 for non-members.

In the 1930s, Xul Solar began lecturing on astrology, wrote horoscope reviews for periodicals, and ran an astrology school from his home in Buenos Aires. Solar’s interest in the topic led him to develop his own set of tarot cards, as well as create astral charts for friends, artists, writers, and even personal endeavors. Professional astrologer Nilsa Gorey will interpret the astral charts that Xul Solar developed for Jorge Luis Borges, William Blake, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí, among others, some of which are on view at Americas Society Visual Arts Gallery's current exhibition Xul Solar and Jorge Luis Borges: The Art of Friendship. Learn more about the exhibition.
