Christopher Isherwood and Don Barchardy

Of late, I have been thinking about the film " The Single Man" by Tom Ford, starring Colin Firth and Matthew Goode (honeys, one and all).  It made me go back and have a look at Christopher Isherwood, who wrote the novel, and I discovered that there is a documentary on his 30 year relationship with Don Bachardy, who I didn't know of, and who, by the by, is a fab artist!.
So, of course, being who I am, I first wanted to know if in fact The Single Man was autobiographical, which it kind of was, except that in real life, Isherwoods lover didn't die.  Quote from Bachardy "Chris got the idea for that book when he and I were having a domestic crisis.  We'd been together 10 years.  I was making a lot of trouble and wondering if I shouldn't be on my own. Chris was going through a very difficult period (as well). So he killed off my character, Jim, in the book and imagined what his life would be without me"


Now, in looking at their charts ( I don't have a time for Bachardy, and Isherwoods is taken from Lois Rodden's Astro Databank.), we see that they are/were both earth signs, so a commonality there, and both had moons in water, Barchardys in Cancer, and Isherwoods in Pisces, so to a certain extent they shared a similar approach in emotional experience as well as life purpose.
As far as chemistry is concerned, Barchardys Venus was trine Isherwoods Mars, and amazingly enough, Barcardys Mars was trine (nice connection to) Isherwoods Venus,  so the relationship planets were well in sync, both ways.  there are may strong connections between the charts, to many to go into here, but I will post the synastry chart, just for fun.
Another interesting note is that the movie the Single Man came just about the time transitting Pluto was crossing Isherwood's descendant (one of the "public" houses), "unearthing" or rediscovering, as Pluto is wont to do, another priceless classic
