crimsoncurrentPisces 30: The Great Stone Face. This one is an embarrassment. Given that the year is 1925, the place is San Diego, the psychic in question has no abstract mind (i.e., is a common sort), given that her questioner is a former screenwriter (Jones), and that Buster Keaton is one of the biggest stars in the country, the Great Stone Face is therefore his - and Jones knew it.
But as luck would have it, over in New Hampshire there was a rock formation known, more or less officially, as the Old Man of the Mountain, sometimes referred to as the Great Stone Face. It was discovered in 1805 & came to prominence in 1945 (20 years after the Sabians) when it became New Hampshire's state emblem. Jones decided that Pisces 30 was that specific rock. Rudhyar makes 30 Pisces to be not only this same rock, but by extension, God Itself. And rather like God, it collapsed - all such rock formations eventually collapse - on May 3, 2003, despite decades of attempts at preservation. Personally, rocks are rocks, but a man's face is a lot more interesting.
