Paris And The Planets

According to Eric Francis, master astrologer of http://PlanetWaves.net/, “The planet and its people are now spinning into the singularity point of the Libra solar eclipse. The exact event takes place in the States just before midnight the evening of Oct. 13.”

That’s today, folks, and that means that as I enter into my 52nd year on this planet (tomorrow I celebrate this fateful birthday), I’ll be spinning into that singularity point along with the sun. Eric’s taken up new residence in Paris and you can thank our lucky stars, he’ll be predicting our astrological forecasts every Wednesday in Parler Paris Previews starting TOday, the day of the Libra solar eclipse. Scroll down to read “ASTRO-PARIS: Aureas Adventure, and Eclipse Night,” the first of a series to satisfy our celestial curiosities.

Yesterday the room was spinning, if not the planets, during our monthly Parler Paris Après Midi coffee meetings. The first to arrive were new faces from many parts of the globe, then the regulars and several seriously long-standing friends who visit Paris from time to time came to surprise us. To read the entire exposé of who’s who and who’s here, be sure to visit /parlerparis/apresmidi.html The next one is scheduled for November 9, 2004 — a great way to meet new people and share ideas, mostly about living in Paris.

Friday night opens Les Nuits Americaines at the Mairie of the 3rd Arrondissement, so if you’re not too busy following the presidential election, don’t miss this special celebration. I’ll be there at the inauguration 5 p.m. on Friday to see what Maires Bertrand Delanoë (Paris) and Pierre Aidenbaum (3rd) have to say about the Franco/American relations! Visit http://www.mairie3.paris.fr for a complete listing of events.

The final presidential debate unfolds tonight along with the eclipse, 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, 3 a.m. Paris Time. CNN is covering it live, of course starting at 7 p.m. EST. On a local level, there are two re-broadcasts of the Kerry-Bush debate: Thursday, October 14th at 5:30 p.m. at Joe Allen’s Restaurant (best Salade Niçoise in Paris and great hamburgers), 30 rue Pierre Lescot, 1st (first come, first serve, no RSVP needed — limited space) and Thursday, October 14th at 6:30 p.m. at the American University of Paris, 6 avenue Colonel Combes, 7th (behind the American Church).Scroll down for more information.

Paris Muse: Italians in Paris

“Primaticcio, Master of Fontainebleau” and “Rosso, The Death of Christ” Renaissance Painters at the Louvre.

Francesco Primaticcio (1504-1570) was hired by François I to decorate the royal palace of Fontainebleau, to make it a “new Rome.” No contemporary French artist could have handled such a sweeping commission; it needed all the savoir-faire of the Italian Renaissance to conceive and execute the immense expanses of wall and ceiling paintings at Fontainebleau. Alas, as current day visitors to the château will discover, little remains of those magnificent decorations. But hundreds of astonishin

g drawings have survived. Over 175 of these are assembled in an exhibition that the Louvre is promoting as the very first devoted to Primaticcio.

Primaticcio: Master of Fontainebleau
Rosso: The Dead Christ
Musée du Louvre
Open everyday, except Tuesday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Open late nights on Wednesday and Friday until 9:45 p.m.

Veronese Profane at the Musée du Luxembourg

Museum visitors may be more familiar with the “sacred” side of Veronese, from majestic religious paintings such as the Louvre’s Wedding Feast at Cana (1562-1563). In focusing on the artist’s “profane” or secular works, however, this exhibition is an opportunity to get acquainted with his talents on a more human scale.
Veronese (1528-1588) was born in Verona but built his career in Venice, where he was showered with demands from the church, the state, and innumerable wealthy clients with palaces to decorate or portraits to commission. Veronese’s style draws on the colorist legacy of Titian and Giorgione, but his delight in perspectival games and sinuously curving bodies is all Italian Mannerism. The small-scale works on display here delight with Veronese’s sense of play and whimsy.

Veronese Profane until January 30th
Musée du Luxembourg
19, rue de Vaugirard, 6ème
Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
This exhibition will be open on December 25th and January 1st

Cracking “The Da Vinci Code”

Where does fact end and fiction begin in The Da Vinci Code?

If you read Dan Brown’s best-selling thriller The Da Vinci Code while conjuring images of Paris and her art treasures in your head, then our new “Cracking the Code” was especially designed for you.

This tour is available when the Louvre is open; every day except Tuesdays, 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Open late night on Mondays and Wednesdays until 9:45 p.m.

Verdi The Requiem concert

Le Choeur Européen de Paris joined by the Choeur Arioso led by Hugues Reiner will perform with the Orchestre Pasdeloup (a fine professional orchestra).

Friday, October 22nd at 8:45 p.m.

Known for his operas of course, Verdi wrote the Requiem in 1874 as a commemoration of the death of novelist and patriot Alessandro Manzoni. This is his only sacred work and its style is forthrightly operatic. According to a musician’s reference book: ” The agnostic Verdi concerned himself not with the afterlife but with a humanistic and characteristically Italian memorial for the living. “

Once you have heard the well-known thunderous Dies Irae (Day of Anger), you will never forget it! Nor the rhythmically energetic ” Libera Me ” (Free Me, Lord) and much more.

Astro-Paris:
Aureas Adventure, and Eclipse Night
====================

By ERIC FRANCIS

The other day, in between horoscope projects (I write sun-sign horoscopes for magazines, newspaper and Internet), I decided to take a walk. I stepped out of my apartment building on Rue des Chantiers, turned left on Cardinal Lemoine, and took about twenty paces. I did a double-take and found myself standing in front of the office of Aureas, the legendary French ephemeris. What is an ephemeris? For astrologers, it’s the equivalent to a tide table for a fisherman or a ruler for a dressmaker. The ephemeris is a book that tells astrologers the positions of the planets, and Aureas is the Stetson hat of the French astrological industry. I don’t know of the people there had ever experienced someone walking in off the street as excited as I was, but there’s a first time for everything.

Wednesday and through the end of the week is an extraordinarily interesting time astrologically. If you happen to be able to watch the last Bush-Kerry debate live early Thursday morning, I suggest you do it. That’s because it’s occurring about an hour before a solar eclipse, and will be a fine example of astrology in real life. Not that we need another example: the unusual pressures, pace, events and developments of this week are more than enough evidence that the Sun, the Moon and the stars are mingled with the story of our lives. The eclipse is the Libra New Moon, signifying a time of change and renewal in our most intimate partnerships, a time of unusual honesty and a phase of history when the scales of justice begin to tilt a different way — hopefully in the direction of the fair and the kind.

You can visit my web page at http://PlanetWaves.net, or call me at 06 33 52 00 82 . I’m also available in Paris for personal consultations and talks.

This film is a brilliant, funny, and ultimately chilling indictment of the Bush administration’s stealth movement to subvert the US Constitution and replace American democracy with so-called “Christian” values. “A Patriot Act” was directed by Academy Award Nominated documentary filmmaker Lilibet Foster.

The film is based on Mark Crispin Miller’s Patriot Act: A Public Meditation, which was originally presented by the New York Theatre Workshop. Miller is the renowned media critic and author of
The Bush Dyslexicon and the recently released
Cruel & Unusual: Bush/Cheney’s New World Order.
