MC Escher's luminary signs are descriptive enough for a meticulous draftsman and artist of wondrous worlds and perspectives - Gemini Sun and Taurus Moon. But the mundoscope really draws out what makes him unique: Ecliptically, his wide Neptune-Pluto conjunction is too wide to take seriously (especially considering the span of years the two were conjunct), but in the mundoscope we get:

28°35' H11 - Neptune
29°55' H11 - Sun
0°17' H12 - Pluto

The two are squeezed within 1°42' with Sun right between them. Can anything describe Escher's portrayed worlds better than Neptune-Pluto? I think not.
