Pisces Season
2020
"On February 19, the Sun reaches the zodiac sign of Pisces, the last stop on its journey before the astrological year begins. But, like with all new beginnings, we have to first release the old in order to make space for what’s to come.
Pisces Season is a time of introspection. It is a time to go within to reflect on the past and to acknowledge all you have been through. This is about celebrating our journey, accepting what’s come, and knowing that every day brings opportunities to make new and better choices.
It’s ok if you don’t like what the world has dished up to you in the past, but looking forward, how can you make the best of it? How can you take what you have been given and the circumstances of your life and find a way to make the most of it?
Our time here is limited and as we reach the last chapter of the Sun’s journey through the zodiac, we are being supported to make changes or at least bring awareness to all that we no longer wish to bring with us into this new cycle.
This idea of closing a cycle and starting a new one will be even more heightened in 2020, as just after Pisces Season ends, we have a huge planetary shift with Saturn moving signs."

What better way to ring in magical March than by watching a High School girl grapple to come to terms with her new found super powers. It's inspiring, LGBTQ positive and female created.
"Sometimes overnight success doesn’t just happen overnight.
Just ask Christy Hall, the co-creator/producer/writer of Netflix’s newest foray into sci-fi, I Am Not Ok With This, debuting February 26 on the streaming service. Having toiled for years as a playwright, her first attempts at writing screenplays gained the attention of Jonathan Entswhile, her collaborator on the show. The two paired to adapt Charles Forsman’s cult graphic novel, upon which the show is based.
I Am Not OK With This centers on 16-year-old Sydney (Sophia Lillis of IT: Chapter One), a teenage girl reeling from the sudden death of her father. As she struggles to adapt to life with a single mom and younger brother, she begins manifesting telekinetic powers…and sensing a malevolent presence around her. Complicating matters, Sydney begins to bond with her hipster neighbor Stan (Wyatt Oleff, IT: Chapter One) as her bestie Dina (Sophia Bryant) suddenly has eyes for a popular boy in school. Sydney realizes she’s not sure who’s she’s attracted to more…

Since March is my own birthday month, I thought it appropriate to recommend one of my all time favourite books, The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden. It is so beautifully written, mysterious, sexy and dreamy. I could read it over and over again...
"On and off, all that hot French August, we made ourselves ill from eating the greengages...
The faded elegance of Les Oeillets, with its bullet-scarred staircase and serene garden bounded by high walls; Eliot, the charming Englishman who became the children's guardian while their mother lay ill in hospital; sophisticated Mademoiselle Zizi, hotel patronne, and Eliot's devoted lover; 16 year old Joss, the oldest Grey girl, suddenly, achingly beautiful. And the Marne river flowing silent and slow beyond them all...
They would merge together in a gold-green summer of discovery, until the fruit rotted on the trees and cold seeped into their bones...
The Greengage Summer is Rumer Godden's tense, evocative portrait of love and deceit in the Champagne country of the Marne – which became a memorable film starring Kenneth More and Susannah York."

This month get yourself a nostalgic treat. For me it was G1 baby ponies, feel what it's like to hold something you once had. Shop on Etsy- maybe it's something you always wanted and never got? Now you are grown up, escape into that feeling you once had as a child and feel the rush of nostalgia as you hold the item of your past.

A long time favorite, Cy Twombly's photos and paintings fill me with joy and ignite such inspiration.
"Although Twombly continued to live in Italy – much of the time in his house in Gaeta near Naples – he somehow remained very American. He often returned to Lexington, where he was still known to some as "Cy junior", and was happy to point out that the area has "more columns … than in all ancient Rome and Greece".
Entertaining, erudite and at times a little neurotic, Twombly was almost as intriguing in interviews as in his art. He certainly gave good copy – as well as commanding huge prices in the international art market. Twombly profited from the global economy, but as an individual and an artist he was very much of a particular milieu, that of the American sophisticate in Europe (although he hated the label "expatriate").
He forged a distinctive, at times thrilling, brand from references to the high culture of the past, only rarely referring to contemporary events or issues. Yet, despite this apparent remoteness from the present, he achieved early success by offering a clever alternative to abstract expressionism and managed to keep going long enough to come back into fashion. It is questionable whether such an esoteric artist would have so enduring a career if he started today."
