As autumn begins, a shifting wind blows into through the stars. This month will bring with it a much-needed reprieve from the intense astrology of September. The summer’s Saturn and Pluto retrogrades are wrapping up, as is last month’s Mercury retrograde. The crisp fall air is inviting in a chance for restfulness and reprieve that will cool off anxiety and ease our bodies into the slowness of winter.
Read MoreSell Out is a series by interdisciplinary artist Angela Fama (she/they), who co-creates conversations with individual artists across Vancouver. Questioning ideas of artistry, identity, “day jobs,” and how they intertwine, Fama settles in with each artist (at a local café of their choice) and asks the same series of questions. With one roll of medium format film, Fama captures portraits of the artist, after the verbal conversations have been had.
Read MoreThis month guides us out of summer and into autumn, a time of transition and deep change. September’s astrology will push and pull us and, ultimately, it will humble us. The next few weeks might be filled with more questions than answers while Virgo and Libra ask us to find some serenity and equilibrium in the midst of it all.
Read MoreYou're sitting in a café–let’s say Liberty on Main. You dressed hot for someone to tell you tastefully, “You look cool.” You brought a book you intend to read but don’t. Instead, you're listening to the same old tunes you keep repeating until you physically can't listen to them anymore. You crave something new, nostalgic, yet totally original with members you can relate to. You scroll until you reach a band that captures your attention. A two-member duo that, like you, is going through some changes, a reinvention in their sound and lyrics. That band is AC-PDF.

August begins in Leo season and wraps up in Virgo. What these two signs have in common is their love for beauty and their ability to facilitate joy. Abundance is a major theme this month, particularly in terms of creative inspiration, confidence, connection, and achievement. While Leo is the archetype of individual glory, Virgo represents the supportive forces that make success possible. If Leo is on stage, Virgo is working their magic behind the scenes. With the planets in several squares, opposition, and conjunctions this month, the energy is electric—but you might feel like it has nowhere to go. Obstacles present new possibilities for growth. It’s a great time to change your style, change your habits, or change your mind.
