The artist highlighted this week is la furie , Prisca Munkeni Monnier, @furiephotographe.  Her art is raw, hungry and has a gravitational weight that one can sink their teeth into, while lifting one’s mind.  It is like a helium balloon with a rock attached to its string holding it down.            La furie’s work speaks to the fleeting memory of cause and the day-to-day dealings of effect.  In her words… (This is translated from French by Google so please forgive the paraphrase.)

“Over time, places or people who had an impact in our identity disappear.  Buried in our everyday lives. Our memories, things, traditions we were once taught to be proud of are forgotten.  However, certain traumas remain. Leading room for unexplained frustration or anger. Day after day, we forget … why we cry, why we love or even what we live for.

My depictions want to express the traumas that we inherited that became part of our identities over the years and that we are continuously brushing off.  I want to bring them to life, give them a space, respecting all forms of otherness.  It is a battle against time, space and everything fading away. One last tribute before it all falls into oblivion.
One last attempt to keep a memory of – a trace of – I create because I am trying to remember … Maybe I will know why I am angry.  Maybe I’ll be free.”  

Solar System highlights:  Moon starts in Aquarius but quickly moves to Pisces this week, so be in touch with your higher self.  It then goes into Aries on 30^nd – great for starting new projects, and then ends in Taurus on July 3rd – focusing on growth.  Mercury is out of retrograde but still in Gemini until July 16^th, so communication is still emphasized.  And Venus joins Mars in Leo, so we switch from inner love and care to outer.  Time to manifest your feelings and desires.  Also a great time to be with those you love.  And if you find yourself solo it is a perfect time to make new friends or get a new plant (if humanity is driving you crazy).

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you.  Cancer this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Capricorn 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,
