 FRANÇAIS app de traduction à gauche

There is a lot happening in March! To launch the month La Nuit Blanche, an annual event that allows you to visit endless cultural activities throughout the wee hours of the night on March 2nd. Many events listed here will be ongoing.

• The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts offers a great opportunity to visit the latest exhibition featuring the stunning works of renowned fashion icon Thierry Mugler "THIERRY MUGLER: CREATURES OF HAUTE COUTURE" at half-price this March 2nd. I am preparing a more in depth article but let me just say FA-BU-LOUS!!! But there are more activities at the Museum for La Nuit Blanche check this link. 

I also visited the exhibition A Model in the Studio
Montreal 1880-1950 curated by Jacques Des Rochers, curator of Quebec and Canadian Art (before 1945). EXQUISITE! Below I share my favorite drawing by Ernst Neumann. It is just perfect! Several characters unite around the central form, the shading and highlights are at perfect pitch and the details just captivate me. It is a very small drawing and that is surprisingly difficult to do.

DOUBLES VIES d'Olivier Assayas

Bande Annonce 


Le nouveau film d'Olivier Assayas ouvre dans le bureau d'Alain (Guillaume Canet), patron d’une grande maison d’édition, où il est en conversation avec Léonard (Vincent Macaigne), un des auteurs de cette maison. Là s'entame la discussion qui soustendra tous les récits du film: l'impact des nouvelles technologies sur l'industrie de l'édition des livres.

Les personnages sont cérébraux, froids, sauf quelques exceptions comme quand Selena (Juliette Binoche), l'épouse d'Alain, verse quelques larmes alors qu'elle rompt sa relation avec Léonard de peur que celui-ci s'inspire de leur aventure sexuelle pour écrire son prochain roman. 

Tous les personnages sauf Valérie (Nora Hamzawi) ont une double vie mais personne ne semble en souffrir. Seul les questions sur le marché du livre semble perturbé ce groupe.

Dans les Cinémas de Montréal dès aujourd'hui.

HOW TO MASTER THE STARS • Healing Nature Challenge • Phase 2


On February 6, 2016,  I set up my bowl of water to see how water would respond to the healing mandalas I had done through the years. I call this practice Emerge Art as my objective is to capture water and light when they jump outside the boundaries of reason and the current scientifically accepted understanding of the laws of nature to form amazing images. In this Emerge Art, ( The Bird, © -LENA GHIO , 2019 ) a bird with a large colorful tail appeared, the closest in real life is a large tailed dove. It took me years to see it. In the context of this series of article, I use Emerge Art to impress upon you that your art practice can impact molecules around you. AND even if you are not an artist, your creative actions also have an impact. Let's heal our planet!

A VERY SPECIAL CHALLENGE  ( page 1 for details)

• Mastering the stars works when Celestial Mechanics propels Gravity forward as it builds up phenomena along repeating motifs as the planets advance in their cycles and form geometric alignments to one another AND to previous planetary alignments. This week the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius, that were conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius in late November 2018 when I used it to launch the art challenge, form a week long sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This represents a phase of expansion in the original design. If you participated in the art challenge, you will see growth resulting from your effort.

• The phenomena you can experience can be manifestations of synchronicity, dreams, inspirations thatsextile is active, the encounters are with like-minded individuals and very pleasant.
seem to come out of the blue, and meaningful encounters with others. When the

• Mercury is exalted in Aquarius. Aquarius rules humanity as a whole, as a unified force. It is time to communicate about our common desires to improve the climate crisis. We should exercise our communication skills even if it is not clear yet that our efforts are effective. I am taking a step in this direction by sharing this article with you. 

• Here are some guidelines to imagine and improve on our intention to heal nature:

-What can we do now?
-What would it look like if the climate conditions were improving now?
-What are we doing that makes this improvement happen?
-How will we circulate around the world in a healthier way?
-How can we get positively motivated to get going on handling the climate crisis?
-What can we do everyday that will make our planet whole again?
-What technologies will be the best to assist our planet's healing journey?

POWER DATES

-I took the first step for you by launching this article when Mercury in Aquarius  is exactly sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius while being quintile to Uranus in Aries, the ruler of the stars from the perspective of astrology. This means your reactions to the ideas proposed here can capitalize on the meaning of the original planetary configurations of this article. In other words, the stars I have mastered to produce this article becomes a foundation to your own initiatives in line with healing our planet.
-The New Moon in Aquarius this February 4th indicates a great moment to initiate a new beginnings. It is quintile Uranus that is ruled by Mars in Aries that rules over Uranus in Aries. Quintiles represent the will of human beings.
-February 7 or 8 depending on where you live, Sun in Aquarius is exactly sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. Benevolent forces collaborate with us to get our intent to repair nature manifest. On top of that, the exalted Mercury in Aquarius is sextile Mars in his home Aries! We are actively communicating and we will get great results.
-On the 9th Mercury in Aquarius is sextile Uranus in Aries for the last time in our lifetime. Then on the 18th it is the Sun in Aquarius that forms the sextile to Uranus in Aries for the last time in our lifetime. A lot of innovative solutions will manifest.
• REMEMBER that even if the action you take during the planetary alignments proposed here are as tiny as writing an affirmation, drawing a first draft of your intent, or creating a wish board that action will reverberate in the fecund fields of universal creation and YOU WILL see results.
