abLast week we investigated a working artist that so far has not made it into the Louvre, and this week we view the artist Sonia Delaunay.  The first living woman to have a show in the Louvre,1964, after six decades of work as a renowned painter, textualist, illustrator, and designer.  She and her husband founded the Orphism Art movement which used strong colors and geometric shapes.

She first thought of it while making a quilt for her son.  “When it was finished, the arrangement of the pieces of material seemed to me to evoke cubist conceptions and we then tried to apply the same process to other objects and paintings.”  Their experimentations they called simultaneous, which combined the geometric elements of Cubism and the color theory of Pointillism.  There for making a more flowing vibrant paintings that lead them to abstraction.  As she said “Abstract art is only important if it is the endless rhythm where the very ancient and the distant future meet.”

Solar System highlights:  The Moon starts in Sagittarius – step out into the world.  It moves to Capricorn on the 18th – time to work and fortify structures.  Then Aquarius on the 20th – innovation is key.  Mercury is in Virgo.  Great time to clean out your email and when conversing be clear, simple, and precise.  Venus is in Libra spend energy enjoying your relationships. Mars is in Virgo – time to clean and tidy up anything your gaze goes to.  Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius so back to the drawing board innovating and upping your game for the rest of this year.

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Leo this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Aquarius it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Three of Wands – Last week the Muse of Creation asked what you would like to develop and grow in the next 10 months.
