Every year, the Oxygen Art Market attracts hundreds of art-lovers to the Oxygen Art Centre. And it’s no wonder! Over 40 established and emerging Kootenay artists submit their paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and other 2D work for this weekend-long event. The work is hung “Salon” style, in the manner of the Académie des Beaux-Arts exhibitions in Paris at the turn of the century, where work was hung on every available wall space from ceiling to floor. With over 150 pieces on display, the hanging is a major undertaking for the volunteer committee, and it makes for a striking event.

Oxygen Art Market is an opportunity to experience first-hand the breadth of work made by West Kootenay artists, and to get yourself a piece of original, locally-made art! With fifty percent of the sales given to the Oxygen Art Centre, the Art Market has become an important fundraiser for the Centre. Oxygen is governed by a collective of professional visual artists, filmmakers, theatre artists and writers. As one of Canada’s 100 or so artist-run centres, Oxygen shares the common mandate to provide an alternative forum for contemporary art, outside of commercial constraints and interests, while recognizing artists through the payment of professional artist fees. Oxygen Art Centre gratefully acknowledges the support of the Columbia Basin Trust.

The third annual Oxygen Art Market will take place on Friday May 24 from 7-10 p.m., Saturday May 25 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday May 26 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Oxygen Art Centre is located at 320 Vernon Street (back alley entrance). For more information visit our website www.oxygenartcentre.org

Tip of the Week:

The Sun enters Gemini on May 20. It does so just 71 minutes prior to the next exact Square Aspect between Uranus and Pluto. This is the 3rd official connection of seven between these two power players. The conjunction between them, which represents the seed event, occurred in 1965! Now, after 48 years they are in the first of their more challenging aspects, the Square. True to the angles of the shape that reveals the measurement of the angle or 90 degrees, this implies what can be described as a very hard or sharp turn in the road. The energies of planets in Square Aspect tend to be at cross purposes. As is true with building blocks, the square, which is the basis of a cube, is an ideal shape for new constructions. Yet, it is the building process that can be arduous. In one’s Natal Chart, A Square Aspect indicates a dynamic life lesson theme which is generally ‘hard won’. It represents where we have some real work to do. At best, Squares produce a lot of energy. At worst they indicate ‘blocks’ or delays and issues. A pro-active attitude and approach is ideal. Yet, the overcoming of the challenge can endure for a lifetime, if ignored, denied or repressed, which is quite common, is labelled a weakness, produces stress, strife and even illness, injury and/or casualty of all possible sorts. More to the moment, we are also in mid-stride between the recent Solar Eclipse and the impending Lunar Eclipse. The combined influence of this charged aspect and the eclipses will be one of dynamic activity where new action, choice and construction comes to the fore to replace the old, thus presenting an indelible blow and challenge to the status quo.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Asserting your authority to break through convention has and continues to be a core theme. Changes are happening and they are pivotal. Certain challenges now are calling for some quick thinking. Your ability to be versatile and to multi-task is extra important. Avoid trying to rush the outcome. Rather do the rounds and enjoy a creative process.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Commitment remains an important theme these days. Realizing your dreams, goals and plans requires that you have some. A wide spectrum of interests and duties are pushing you to draw upon your resources and talents. If you respond well this can produce abundant returns. The main challenge is not to scatter your focus.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Your energy levels are on the rise. Waves of inspiration are a source of enthusiasm. This trend will continue for the next few weeks so intend to make the most of it. Your will and determination to learn new skills or gather knowledge for practical application is a deeper long-term theme. Extra emphasis upon security themes is a call to count all your blessings.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Building strong bonds of friendship is ever important. This includes being your own best friend, perhaps above all. With healthy self-regard well-established you can feel more confident to take risks. These may include financial investments. All of the above are leading you to do inner work and/or study and research behind the scenes.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Some promising activations in your career and social standing are yours to enjoy. Yet, you also have to be disciplined and do the work. This includes perseverance and pushing through fears. Working the angles includes accessing key connections and perhaps making new ones. Just keep putting it out there. Don’t worry about any no’s, just stay focused on the yeses!

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have begun to look to the bigger picture. This visionary approach has a practical twist. You want to realize greater success. While earning more is a likely goal, increasing your skill levels is also implied. Asserting a more strategic and disciplined focus is woven into the plot. Clarifying your objectives and managing your time better will help, a lot.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Money is not what life is all about. But especially if you are lacking in that department it will take on added importance. Who has what you want and need and needs and wants what you have? Exchanges of energies, talents and resources are the game of life and you are being called out to play. Get the word out, you are in the mood to wheel and deal.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

The seeds of new relationships are beginning to sprout. You have been busily working the angles. A learning curve is implied. The follow-up requires that you tend to your garden. Weed and feed is the basic formula. Thinning is important too. This can be a delicate process especially when the sprouts are people with feelings, opinions and voices.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

All being well, you are doing the work and whistling all the while. Clearing the old to make way for the new is implied. Establishing a firm foundation that will withstand the tests of time is in the script. It could be real estate, or attitudes, or healthy rhythms and habits. Whatever your focus, the word improvement should be written across your banner.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

A playful, sporting, risky and gambling mood prevails. To this end you are extra focused on the details. Even against all odds you may feel confident and faithful about your approach. That you are a force to reckon with to others and something of a shaker is all part of the script. Yet you are probably wise to diversify your interests. Have a back-up plan, or two.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Some moving and shaking close to home is a source of excitement. At best, it is spurring a creative streak. It may also be a source of discussion and communication exchange. Your attention will be drawn to a variety of fronts. The tasks require a dynamic, even revolutionary assertion. Yet you may simultaneously feel tired, whimsical and evasive. Take a varied approach to stay alert and amused.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your drive ambition and confidence levels are all running high. Inspired by beauty, the cultivation of talents and the prospects of abundance, prosperity and advancement, you feel determined to achieve a lot. This represents a prime opportunity to make a break away to get ahead. These are all manifestations of much deeper changes that signify rebirth and/or reinvention.

Cadillac Dreams at the Nelson Civic Theatre
(submitted)

Bring your Brylcreem! Pompadours and duck tails are welcome at the final film to be shown on the Nelson Civic Theatre’s old 35mm projector. On Saturday, May 25th at 7:30pm, the Civic offers a special showing of My American Cousin, a Canadian film set in the1950s. With the producer and director in attendance and some fun with 50s icons, it’s a great way to wrap up an era.

After a two month, no-holds-barred Community Challenge fundraising drive to raise the $150,000 ticket price for digital conversion, on May 1st the Nelson Civic Theatre Society announced the final tally: $181,425. Now, The Nelson Civic Theatre will show current movies with brand new digital projection and sound beginning in June. The additional funds will assist in essential renovations.

The Civic is set to send off the old 35mm projector in style: on the virtual back seat of a beautiful cherry red Cadillac convertible via this great film. A print of My American Cousin has been graciously donated for screening from the private vault of local producer Phil Schmidt and director Sandy Wilson, who will both be in attendance to mark this event.

Shot in the BC interior, My American Cousin won big at Canada’s 1985 Genie Awards. The life of a bored young Canadian girl (Margaret Langrick) changes dramatically when her older California cousin Butch (John Wildman) visits. With a healthy dose of James Dean rebelliousness, Butch introduces her to rock & roll and chewing gum, among other things.

The Civic is set to kick off a summer of digital films where no man has gone before (or at least, for a number of years) four days a week beginning with Star Trek: Into Darkness in early June. It’s a great start to a long-term project that will see a three-screen theatre for the community to enjoy long into the future. My American Cousin is a fabulous film to say goodbye to the old, and get ready for the new. For information go to www.civictheatre.ca.

Tip of the Week:

This Solar Eclipse in Taurus is special because it hosts a Lunar Eclipse on either side. This is not an entirely rare event, but one that merits some special attention. Eclipses are like super charged New and Full Moons. They synchronize with larger scale changes than the usual Lunation Cycle. The whole picture of this ‘Annular’ Solar Eclipse offers an interesting and complex seed theme. (An Annular Eclipse does not simply imply that it occurs annually. It means that while the Moon does exactly cross over the Sun, its distance is further away from earth than during a Total Solar Eclipse thus producing a neat effect of a black disc with an orange ring around it.) So, the Sun/Moon conjunction occurs in Taurus, and since Venus rules Taurus and it is in Gemini where Jupiter is as well, this lends a positive perk to the picture. Jupiter and Venus are two of the brightest lights in the sky and popularly referred to as ‘lucky stars’. However, Mercury is also in Taurus in close alignment with the Sun and Moon forming an aspect called ‘combust’ which suggests that perceptions are ‘blinded in the light’. This tends to produce strong, subjective opinions. The fact that Mars is also in Taurus and in close alignment with Mercury suggests that these opinions will be stubbornly asserted. The Gemini factor suggests that this will produce a lot of news, communication exchanges and gossip. Thanks to the internet, we live in a time of unprecedented exchanges of ideas, perceptions and opinions so it could get ‘drowned out’. But if it was actually graphed it would reveal a spike lasting 3-4 weeks. The changes that eclipses activate, however, last a lifetime. Tune-in and cooperate with this sharp cycle of change.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Planting season has arrived! The seeds may be literal or they may be that of plans, goals and dreams of all sorts. Since so much variety is spicing-up your life these days, your garden likely has many features. Yet, the changes you are undergoing are truly metamorphic. Cooperating so that you gain from it makes good sense.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

What makes sense to you now, in the bigger picture of you plans? While common sense has its place, what you specifically want now is good sense. Your aim includes distinction, a unique feather in your cap. So what will give you that niche edge or solution? The spotlight is on you. Take charge yet keep your eyes and ears open.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Concerted efforts to establish a more secure foundation asks that you replace at least some features of existing ones. This is probably happening anyway. These are prompting you to take risks, to step faithfully into the unknown. Some promising seeds are germinating, yet there may be some delays. Exercise patience and point your imagination positively.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The future beckons and it includes a more stimulated social life. Whether at work or at school, new mates are entering your stage. The flow of change now implies creative investments. Feeling more confident about the future may not be a luxury you feel just now. Avoid over analysis but do keep a philosophical perspective.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Opportunities present in your career and public life are very likely now. Yet as ever it is important that you take a strategic and realistic approach. This includes having a plan backed by an inspiring vision of the future. This will include consciously and deliberately overcoming silent fears. Share your dreams with trusted allies for support.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are in a scouting mood. This means gaining a vantage to see far and wide. You want to nip the realities of current change in the bud so they don’t bite you in the butt! The time is right to make some expansive moves in your career. Yet, while taking a few risks is implied keep them sober and calculated.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Taurus is the sign of talents and, resources, money, possessions and priorities. What is important and valuable generally boils down to needs over wants. Yet, having a healthy balance of the two is a key to happiness. Balance is the keyword and it pertains to the quantity and quality of input related to return. Such weighing is on your mind.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Making key investment for the sake of greater satisfaction in your relationship exchanges is now in focus. Both your personal and professional life is likely to be affected. Since some measure of compromise is likely, deciphering what to give in order to receive is the question. Commitment earns long-term results. Yet, to whom and/or what do you feel so devoted?

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

A daily routine of discipline in terms of health goes a long way and the opposite is true regarding lack. The word, ‘discipline’ can seem so limiting, so incarcerating and heavy. Yet, those are precisely the results of a lack of it! Many of the rules of religion are linked to health: don’t drink coffee, or alcohol or eat pork…. Good health is its own religion.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Wow, a Solar Eclipse in earthy Taurus with Mercury and Mars there too. And you, an earthy Capricorn; how will you harness its gifts? Perhaps you simply need to play more and invite more pleasure into your life. A creative impulse is indicated for you yet requires that you be willing to break through old habits.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Shifts close to home often bring change in our public life and the opposite is true too. You feel determined to establish new foundations for future dreams. Perhaps you are building your esteem and confidence levels, or adding to your level of education or maybe the changes are physical, in your body or literally in your home. Build it!

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An invitation to new perspectives has been sent to you. These may be as simple as a new coat of paint. Yet, it is likely that they are extending to you career and social sphere. A mix of courage, vision and rebellion is the recipe to break free of the usual trance. A will to try new twists, angles and approaches will bring rewards.

Tip of the Week:

May days in the Year of the Snake and in the midst of an Eclipse Season together constitute an exciting and dramatic atmosphere! Ask around and you will hear stories of change, endings and so on from just about everyone. The metaphor of shedding skins will likely fit very well. The good news is that it implies renewal. Yet, the process of completion and of entering the unknown is usually a source of much added stress. With the Moon in its last quarter and in the wake of the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse the pace and extent of these transformations are accelerating. As ever, the answer is to tune-in, adapt and strategically cooperate. Taking a pro-active verses reactive approach is ideal. This is where it helps to pause and look at the map. The Natal Chart in Astrology is the base map for one’s destiny. It reveals one’s inner and outer nature and character strengths and challenges. Furthermore, it reveals themes and timing in our life that often otherwise appear purely circumstantial. Were it not for the clear evidence that there are others factors, forces, intelligences and plan of destiny at play, the perspectives gleaned from Astrology would have been abandoned millennia ago. Yet, Astrology persists because it works. Making practical use of Astrology in a spirit of co-creation as opposed to the false belief that there is no free will at all or that free will is all reveals the deeper wisdom that Astrology offers. Like the map, astrological insight won’t drive the car but it will provide valuable direction and guidance that save precious time and money. P.S. The Solar Eclipse occurs on Thursday May 9, 2013.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Your focus has taken a practical turn. You want results, not just possibilities. Stimulating new streams of income is likely. This may be as basic as preparing the ground of your garden. This theme may extend to other forms of sowing seeds. Appreciating the birds and the bees and pollination in its widest implications is featured.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

The time has come to enter new territory. The intuitive hunches and synchronistic signs began weeks ago, at least. This is an expansive time calling for diversification. This trend will continue well into 2014. The time is ripe to advance, to push on and/or to push through. Yet, you do not have to do it alone, you are not meant to.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

A busy time building upon new foundations and dissolving old ones continues. The dissolving may be happening all on its own. Yet the other twin is busy making it happen. To offset feelings of uncertainty and insecurity you are moved to fortify your foundation at a core level. Renovations of some kind, physical, mental and/or emotional, are implied.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Creating fruitful foundations for new friendships and other such associations is a central theme now. This has prompted or emerged as a consequence of the exchange of new tools and skills. These are linked to your career. Altogether, this is a time for making investments and budding friendships are an ideal choice.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Some new growth in your public and professional life should be evident by now. This is a good time to be seen, heard and recognized. This cycle will continue for several weeks yet the time to act is now. Move beyond flowery words and lofty notions and focus on practical action for actual traction!

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your sights are set on a more colourful future. Dreams of what might be are leading you to a more constructive focus. Yet, do not lean on others for support. It is extra important that you stand firmly on your own feet. Cooperative collaborations can work, but do not depend or project undue expectation. This is your dream; realize it!

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Who has what you want and need? Looking to the talents and resources of others may prove extra valuable now. Yet, be careful who you are dealing with and how. Venus is currently in a particularly seductive way and whether you are getting taken or subconsciously doing the taking, fair exchanges could get obscured and unbalanced.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

New growth in your relationships is a source of inspiration and perhaps some drama now. These new developments are inspiring your ambitions and drive. The work implies discerning the higher road from the lower. The low road implies control, manipulation and evasion. The higher path implies asserting your creative leadership and inspiring the same in others.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

You are in a cycle requiring an added measure of discipline and effort. The direction of this focus is meant to be on improvement. Increasing the quality of your health and service to others is the main goal. Make adjustments in your daily routine to break negative rhythms and patterns for mutual fulfillment and satisfaction.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

An extra creative and inventive cycle has begun. It has emerged as a consequence of changes close to home and yet will activate further developments there as well. It is important that you activate your imagination to diversify your interests. This is a ground breaking and foundation building time in preparation for greater expansion this summer.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Some big energy shifts close to home have begun. Your aim is to achieve a more beautiful, satisfying and fulfilling environment. To feel inspired and practically productive is a central goal. Developing certain talents and/or stimulating new streams of income are major parts of your plan.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Establishing new modes of perception, value and priority is a current theme process. For both personal and perhaps professional and financial reasons, you are moved to review. Taking key initiatives to reach out to new people and places is likely. Your ambitions are running pretty high yet you split between experience and experiment.

Tip of the Week:

The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Scorpio is shining a bright light of change and activation for us all. Scorpio is a water sign and the Full Moon in this element synchronizes with endings and deep emotional change. This is especially true due to the symbolism of Scorpio, the sign of death and rebirth, change, transformation, regeneration, purification, psychology, investigation, research, shared resources, sexual drive, inheritances, banks, taxes, insurance and all things deep, hidden, mysterious and esoteric. This is the 1st of 3 eclipses in a row making this an ‘eclipse season’. The exact degree of this eclipse is 5 Scorpio 46. The next one is the Solar Eclipse on May 9 at 19 Taurus 31 and finally another Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 24 at 4 Sagittarius 08. The close proximity by degree of the Lunar Eclipses first in Water then in Fire Signs adds to the complexity of changes that they will bring about. While traditionally eclipses were considered ill omens this is not at all necessarily true. It all depends on how they influence one’s Natal Chart and above all how they are interpreted, handled and integrated. Since eclipses bring a measurably added charge to the usual New and Full Moon, they are best regarded as influences of change to be accepted and consciously managed verses resisted. Deciphering the deeper and wider implications of their effects is where taking a close look at one’s Birth Chart and the practice of Astrology comes to the fore.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Your ambitions remain strong and your focus is sharp. Change is the law and everyone is feelings its added push these days. This has been especially true for you for the past 6-8 months. Now that the momentum has been initiated, it is a matter of steady perseverance. The time has come to establish new foundations. The planning stage is important.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

A period of steady advancement has begun. You should feel a good deal of traction. This trend will continue for the next few weeks anyway. Be willing to try new approaches. There may be a variety of fronts to consider. It is important that you be extra cooperative. Your ambitions may be high yet cooperative actions are keys to your success.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Working steadily behind the scenes continues. This may include rest to recharge. Yet, you can also be productive. Making pointed changes in your daily routine is a good example of productive change. Is your lifestyle as healthy as it could be? Do you have any bad habits you can disrupt and break free from? Prepare the ground for new growth.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

This is a time of completion and fruition. You are at a peak in a cycle that favours creative inventiveness. This inspirational burst of energy could also manifest as a budding new love interest. While romantic interests are implied, it could also be the beginnings of a wonderful new friendship.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

A good deal of activity in your public and professional life is causing a stir close to home and perhaps vice versa. Now is a good time to make some strategic moves for advancement. Meanwhile old friends and loves and possibly foes from the past may re-enter your life. These changes will be felt at core levels.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your sights are set on a bigger picture. A visionary fervour has taken hold and is leading you into new territory. One way or another you feel determined to build anew. Reaching out to others and networking is featured. Altogether, new initiatives and/or initiations are likely. Some of these could come on the heels of other things ending.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Financial interests and considerations are keeping you busy now. Investments, inheritances, taxes and the like are more than on your mind. You may feel inspired to diversify as well. Whether it is venture capitalism or simply the desire to be free and financially stable enough to travel, it may be time to do the math.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A shift from work to pleasure should be evident now. You have likely taken some initiatives, perhaps especially in your overall lifestyle. Expect this trend to continue. Somehow you feel done with old modes of living and self-expression. Whether by choice or circumstance, the time has come for new ways of doing and being.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Spring is a time for cleaning and sometimes the need goes deeper than the home and garden. These may merit your attention as well, yet the call to clean, clear and cleanse could include your body, mind and/or emotions as well. Your willingness to make extra efforts to this end could have very positive results, but neglect could prove just the opposite

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

A good deal of activity close to home has been keeping you busy. If you did take the initiative to engage in creative projects, you should feel extra inspired now. Real estate deals and/or home renovations are strong possibilities. Family concerns and interests are implied. Expect the fruit of past actions to ripen now.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

You have begun to set your sights on new horizons. This has activated key communications and organizational activity. Your study focus and search for new knowledge and practical information has been a key theme. You feel a sense of destiny and yearn for change and progress publically and professionally.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Shifts and changes in your income and financial set-up have begun. You are challenged to adjust to meet the changing conditions. Expect this trend to continue. Increasing your sense of security will motivate you. Generating new streams of income is likely. Desires for greater fulfillment in your relationships are core motivations.
