EDITOR’S NOTE IT’S NOT S.E.P. Advances in technology have allowed us to watch events unfolding thousands of miles away in real time or, at the least, only have to wait as long as it takes someone to upload a video to YouTube. It induces a sense of proximity: I can watch London traffic (more interesting than it sounds), see a man in Russia help an elderly woman cross a busy street, or watch a box-loving cat in Japan through the eyes of its owner. I know watching videos of people and places isn’t the same as being there IRL, but it does make me feel a connected to a greater humanity, however virtual it may be. On the flip side, I am keenly aware that I see a recent spate of Palestinians and Israelis being killed in street attacks, and China warning India it is willing to escalate a border dispute as happening “over there.” In Douglas Adam’s 1982 comedy sci-fi novel Life, The Universe and Everything, alien Ford Prefect explains that spectators at a cricket match won’t even notice a spaceship has landed on the pitch because it is surrounded by a Somebody Else’s Problem field.

“An SEP,” Ford said, “is something that we can’t see, or don’t see, or our brain doesn’t let us see, because we think it’s somebody else’s problem. That’s what SEP means. Somebody Else’s Problem.

The brain just edits it out, it’s like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won’t see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye.”

In this edition of Boise Weekly, News Editor George Prentice looks at the possible repercussions of an F-35 mission coming to Gowen Field. City and state officials recognize the economic benefits of the mission, which would bring 18-24 jets to Gowen, but a group called the Citizens for a Livable Boise has vehemently opposed it, saying the F-35s will be detrimental to wildlife, housing prices and the health and wellbeing of people who live near the base. If you think because you live on the other side of town or outside of Boise city limits, you won’t be affected by this issue, check out the story on Pages 6-7. It’s not S.E.P.

NEWS WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE DON’T KNOW

The Idaho Tax Commission cautions those renting out their homes during the Aug. 21 eclipse.

TAXING THE ECLIPSE With tens of thousands of people expected to travel to Idaho to witness the total solar eclipse Monday, Aug. 21, more than a few Idaho home- and landowners are already planning to cash in on the oncein-a-lifetime event by leasing out accommodations. Officials at the Idaho State Tax Commission, however, are offering words of caution for one-and-done landlords.

“A lot of people are unaware that even just by renting a room for a night, you still have to collect [Idaho sales and/or tourism] tax,” said Renee Eymann, the tax commission’s Public Information Officer. “We really want to make sure people know what’s required.”

Those taxes include a 6 percent Idaho sales tax and an additional 1 percent Idaho tourism tax. Depending on which Idaho community the would-be landlord lives in, additional local sales or auditorium district taxes could apply. For example, auditorium district taxes are an additional 5 percent.

“Yes, technically, they have to collect that tax. Renters should be registering with the Idaho Secretary of State’s office and ultimately collecting the auditorium tax,” said Boise Centre Executive Director Pat Rice. The Boise Centre is one beneficiary of tax revenue in the Greater Boise Auditorium District, which cuts across most of the Boise metro area. “That said, it would still be up to the Secretary of State’s office to enforce the issue if someone is not collecting that tax.”

The state tax commission is poised to penalize anyone who doesn’t follow the rules.

“If people are caught renting or selling items without collecting their taxes, they will have to pay the initial taxes plus interest,” said Eymann. “Plus, they’ll be fined a penalty.”

The additional interest on uncollected tax is accumulated at a rate of 4 percent, and the penalty for not collecting or paying taxes is another 5 percent.

The city of Boise and a grassroots neighborhood group are in a dogfight over an F-35 mission possibly touching down in Gowen Field GEORGE PRENTICE Listen to enough people argue about the possibility of an F-35 mission coming to Gowen Field in Boise and you’ll soon realize the only common ground you hear is an agreement that only a fully vetted, Boise-based scientific analysis will reveal how the mission might impact the livability of the community. The divide of opinions over the proposed mission is already as wide as the runway at Gowen Field is long. As an example, comments on an informal online poll by Boise Weekly were strident. “Don’t like the noise? Don’t live near the base,” wrote Mark Dewey. “It’s the sound of freedom, baby,” wrote Todd Woodell.

State of Idaho and City of Boise officials— from Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter and Mayor Dave Bieter on down—have voiced full-throated support for keeping the Idaho Air National Guard airborne above Gowen Field. Both Otter and Bieter winged their way to Washington, D.C., this past March to lobby on behalf of Boise, one of five cities on the U.S. Air Force’s shortlist, each vying to be the home base for somewhere between 18 and 24 F-35 jets.

A number of citizens, primarily from the Vista neighborhood in Boise, are doing some lobbying of their own. They’ve created a group called “Citizens for a Livable Boise,” punching holes in the effort to lure the F-35 mission.

“It’s a terrible thing. We’ll never get used to it, and if it comes here it would tear this community apart,” said Monty Mericle, retired Idaho Power engineer and CLB member.

Officials at Boise City Hall said they had never heard of Citizens for a Livable Boise before the F-35 debate.

“We really can’t tell how many people are actual members,” said City of Boise spokesman Mike Journee. “It appears to be a a small group of

people, inserting themselves between the city and the citizens in this community that we’ve been trying to communicate with. And quite honestly, we’re disturbed by the fact that we can’t get the right information to a larger number of people who have legitimate concerns about this issue.”

Neither Journee nor any other representative from the city attended a June 27 event sponsored

by CLB that filled the downtown Boise library auditorium to standing-room-only capacity.

“Squeeze in folks. But don’t take these three seats here in the front row,” said one of the event’s organizers, pointing to three empty chairs. “These have been reserved for representatives from the City of Boise, Boise Airport or the Idaho Air National Guard, but it appears they’re not coming.”

Journee said city officials had no intention of

sending official representatives to the event.

“A few, very fervent opponents have hijacked those meetings,” said Journee. “We have heard on a number of occasions that there are a number of folks who are trying to get some good information on the mission, but because of the atmosphere, they’re fearful of speaking out.”

Journee said the “level of hyperbole” coming from CLB surrounding the F-35 mission has reached such a fever pitch that city officials “are perplexed as to how best manage the situation.”

“They continue to push out falsehoods, trying to drown out what may be contrary to their opinion,” said Journee. “ We’ve heard that they say the city is going to move in 7 and condemn 1,300 homes and bulldoze them. We’ve heard that some said chilBOISE WEEKLY.COM

NEWS dren’s ears are going to bleed because of the noise. It’s all completely ridiculous.”

City officials weren’t the only ones absent from the June 27 event.

“Is there any media here?” shouted one of the event’s organizers to the packed assembly.

For the record, there has been ample media coverage on the community debate over the F-35 mission in the Treasure Valley, and the Idaho Statesman continues to feature a steady stream of coverage on the issue. CLB members, however, were none too pleased when the Statesman editorial board endorsed the F-35 effort this past April.

“We’ll do our part to send a clear message that we welcome the F-35’s,” read the editorial. “We think our future depends upon it.”

“We don’t need the media. We are the media,” shouted one of the attendees at the CLB event.

Many speakers who were handed a microphone at the event—and several others who didn’t wait for a microphone to shout out their concerns—said they had already heard and read enough to trigger their opposition.

JET-FUELED FEUD “It occurred to me a while ago that a lot of us are smarter than any one of us,” said John Glerum, CLB member and moderator of the June 27 event. For more than two hours, Glerum facilitated a quick-paced discussion, including how the F-35s might have a negative impact on wildlife in the region, how home valuations might decrease and how the overall mission might be a general “annoyance” to Boise.

“The F-35 is one of the loudest jets ever used by the military,” said Mericle. “And the number of homes that would be impacted by this keeps changing. We heard 80 homes; then we heard 105; we even heard 270. And you could never put in enough windows in your home to drown out the noise. The only real mitigation would be to purchase and demolish those homes.”

“The F-35 is terrible for the Boise Bench,” echoed Dave Kangas, realtor and longtime officer with the Vista Neighborhood Association. “I’ve read studies that say there would be anywhere from a 12.5 to 25 percent devaluation of homes.”

As Kangas, Mericle and other speakers continued for two hours, still more late-arriving attendees tried to wedge into the auditorium and the temperature rose with the heat of the rhetoric.

“Even if I didn’t live in the Hillcrest neighborhood, I still feel a moral obligation to alert the community about what will happen to children exposed to the noise created by the F-35 jets,” said Gwynne McElhinney, a veteran speech/language pathologist with the Boise School District. “There would be irreversible hearing loss and learning challenges throughout their lifetimes.”

McElhinney has spent decades helping hearing-impaired school children all across Boise.

Speaking at a more calmer setting than the CLB event—a serene playground across from Owyhee BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Elementary School in the Vista neighborhood— her emotions still ran high as she spoke about what she said would be the dire impact of F-35 jets taking off from runways at Gowen Field less than a mile away. According to city officials, the take-offs would be limited to 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon on weekdays, with no take-offs at all on weekends, but McElhinney said it’s not about minutes: It’s about the cumulative effects of sound over weeks, months and years.

“Take a look at these children at the playground here today. They’re probably somewhere between 2 and 5 years old and right now, I’m guessing that their hearing levels are really, really good—very acute and much sharper compared to an adult,” she said, pointing to a group of kids filling the mid-morning air with laughter.

“When I look at these children and think of all of the children at this school and in this neighborhood, I think of something called ‘the precautionary principle.’”

The precautionary principle has been used formally by global economists since the early 1980s, but is actually more akin to the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” or “Better safe than sorry.”

“The precautionary principle says that when the health of humans and the environment are at stake, it may not be possible to wait for scientific certainty to take protective action,” said McElhinney, who added Boise shouldn’t wait for a long list of studies on the F-35 before taking precautions.

“Here’s the bottom line: There shouldn’t be any compromise on this issue. We must absolutely protect children from hearing loss.”

McElhinney took a big breath, smiled at the children in the playground and then turned, fixing her gaze on Owyhee Elementary School.

“What is the true cost of a child’s hearing? It’s incalculable. Is it a million dollars? Is it more?” she asked. “I’ll tell you right now that if the F-35 is indeed coming to Boise, we better conduct baseline testing of every child’s hearing so that we have a benchmark to look back upon.”

Over at the headquarters of the Boise Independent School District, officials said they won’t reach any conclusions of their own on the F-35 until official impact studies, specifically tailored to Boise, are completed.

“While we are aware of the potential impact of the F-35 mission on the community, the Boise School District is committed to gathering all the facts,” read a statement from the district. “With the upcoming Environmental Impact Study that will be released later this year, the District will be able to provide feedback appropriately to the U.S. Air Force.”

But the Air Force hasn’t yet announced exactly when it might cull its shortlist of five potential cities, including Boise, to its top two favorite communities to host the F-35 mission, a decision that will trigger a federally funded Environmental

Impact Study. City of Boise officials say the results of that as-yet-unscheduled EIS should be the overriding factor in why, or even if, Boise should support the F-35 mission coming to Gowen Field.

“One of the biggest challenges right now is that opponents of the F-35 want city officials to answer all their questions right now,” said Journee.

“Look, we aren’t experts on the F-35. We’ve never done that kind of analysis. That’s an analysis that would involve the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of the National Environmental Protection Act. It’s a very thorough process with an extraordinary amount of public input. And that EIS will only begin once the Air Force is ready to pick its preferred communities for the F-35 mission.”

Journee added he’s particularly irked that Citizens for a Livable Boise has been painting Mayor Dave Bieter as tone deaf to what they claim is a threat to their lives and livelihoods.

“I would ask the residents of our city to have some faith in a man who has long been its strongest advocate, and to please let this process play out,” said Journee. “If there was anything close to the ridiculous scenarios that are being repeated by some people, the mayor and city council would say, ‘Thanks, but no thanks’ to the Air Force.

‘Move on. We’ve got better things to do.’”

Journee added that city officials also weren’t thrilled when they read comments from Dr. Kevin Cahill, Boise economist with ECONorthwest, who questioned the city’s pursuit of the F-35 mission in a May 9 op-ed for The Idaho Statesman and made further remarks in a Boise Weekly June 12 Citizen interview.

Cahill said an earlier analysis touting the economic benefits of the Air National Guard to the Boise area—nearly 2,800 direct- and indirect jobs, and an annual $155 million to the local economy—was flawed.

“That’s incredibly misleading,” Cahill told BW. “The study included the benefits but none of the costs to the community. It doesn’t account for any negative impacts.”

Journee argued the study Cahill was referring to was not an analysis on the F-35s.

“He’s mistaken in thinking that the economic study was about the F-35s, it wasn’t,” said Journee. “I would point out to him that the study was about the existing Idaho Air National Guard’s mission at Gowen Field involving A-10 jets.”

Meanwhile, Boise City Council President Elaine Clegg said she has been anxious to share as much information as she can with groups of interested citizens about what the city knows, doesn’t know and wants to know about the F-35 mission.

“We don’t know what we don’t know. A lot of the fears that are being stirred up out there seem to be based on incomplete or inaccurate information,” said Clegg. “I don’t necessarily think the analysis that is out there is flawed. But it may be incomplete.”

The Monday, Aug. 21 solar eclipse arrives at Idaho’s western border at 10:10 a.m.

such as the upcoming eclipse, they can apply for a temporary tax permit, 6 available online at tax.idaho.gov.

Lacey Schotts of Idaho Falls said she was still coming up to speed on the procedure of temporarily renting out her eastern Idaho home during the eclipse.

“Actually, this is technically the second time that we’re renting out our home, but the first time it was just to a friend,” she said. “We called around to area motels and hotels to figure out some pricing. I think renting out the house for $800 a night is a little ridiculous, but we’re still renting it lower than some of our friends.”

Schotts said she requires a 2-night minimum stay and a $500 refundable deposit.

In her Craiglist description of her offer, she wrote that hotels in her area were renting out single rooms for $500 a night, so she felt it was reasonable to charge $800 a night for a 3-bedroom house.

Another Idaho Falls homeowner, Joanne Provencher, who is renting out part of her home on Craigslist, said she listed her basement two weeks ago.

“We decided we had the perfect private basement,” said Provencher. “Our space will sleep up to six people and it includes breakfast. We’ll see how it goes.”

Provencher is renting out the basement for $350 per night for a 2-day minimum stay.

She added that she was well aware of the need to collect the proper taxes.

Communities across Idaho are preparing for the solar eclipse, which is expected to cross into the western border of the Gem State at approximately 10:10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 21, and leave the state on the eastern border at approximately 12:48 p.m.

Kerry Hammon, spokeswoman for the city of Idaho Falls, said as many as 300,000 to 500,000 visitors could come into eastern Idaho in the 48-hour period surrounding the eclipse.

Tour de Fat, Boise’s favorite excuse to drink a lot and ride a bike slowly, is heading back to town this August and is in search of the perfect musical act. For an event where costumes are encouraged and “a mindset to party is mandatory,” a very specific kind of band is needed, and for TDF organizers a Battle of the Bands seemed the perfect solution. Come down to Neurolux Friday to watch the top two local qualifiers—country rock group Parade of Bad Guys and bluegrass trio Jonathan Warren and the Billy Goats—harmonically duke it out for the privilege of performing on the TDF stage.

Vote with your dollar for your favorite and to support the Boise Bicycle Project, Northwest Cycling Alliance and Southwest Idaho Mountain Bike Association.

MUSIC GUIDE WEDNESDAY JULY 19 ALIVE AFTER FIVE: MAGIC GIANT—5 p.m. FREE. Grove Plaza

AA5: MAGIC GIANT, JULY 19, GROVE PLAZA If you’re into clever instrumentation and high-energy sound, you’ll likely join most of the country in loving indie folk trio Magic Giant on first listen—the California-based band’s debut single “Set on Fire,” released in 2016, was streamed over 4 million times in less than a year, earning local and national accolades. The backstory of the band is chock full of too much zaniness to list—proving popularity doesn’t make you mainstream or ordinary. One member, Zambricki Li, has Acquired Savant Syndrome—he learned how to play the violin in four days after being hit by a car as a tween—and cellist/guitarist Zang (yep, he’s mononymous, like Prince) was discovered by the other band members through his salsa dancing videos on YouTube.

When you add that part of the group’s newest album, In the Wind (2017), was recorded inside a giant Redwood tree, you have a recipe for an Alive After Five concert that can’t be missed.

JAMES MCMURTRY, JULY 25, NEUROLUX James McMurtry made waves last year when he released the song “Remembrance”—a sharply political review of world events in the 1970s and 80s with more current applications—on Election Day. This wasn’t the first time that the singer-songwriter voiced his opinion on politics; in fact, he’s better known for his brutally honest lyrics, which manage to be both topical and poetic, than for his rich baritone or skill on the guitar. With his most recent album, Complicated Game (2015), McMurtry turns that critical voice inward with “story songs” about individuals and relationships, creating believable characters in five-minute bites. If you’re not into sugarcoating, make sure to be there when McMurtry hits the stage at Neurolux Tuesday, July 25, on his “Up the East Slope, Down the Left Coast Tour” to learn why CNN called him “America’s fiercest songwriter.”

THE HOUSE OF MAUD

Maudie is the story of one tiny artist who made a big impression GEORGE PRENTICE There’s poor, there’s dirt poor and then there’s Marshalltown, Nova Scotia, a tiny community on a harsh isthmus in the Maritimes of Canada.

I know because I’ve been there. Growing up in a border town, I’ve always had a fondness for the North Atlantic provinces. While they’re lovely places to read about—Halifax is known for its oceanic climate and Charlottetown celebrates its fictional native daughter, Anne of Green Gables—my heart was always set on visiting Marshalltown, Nova Scotia one day, because of a black-and-white Canadian television broadcast I watched as a boy. The report, which can still be found in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation online archives, was about Marshalltown citizen Maud Lewis, a slight woman crippled by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Lewis, who was born in 1903, was a folk artist who learned to paint from her mother. Lewis loved to paint what she knew: farmland, oxen, cats, deer and even nearby villagers. She couldn’t afford canvases, so she painted on bits of found wood from abandoned boats or shacks, and on every wall, surface and nearly every item in her home, including the stove, the staircase, pots, pans, chairs, etc. In a truly organic way, generations before the internet, Lewis’ story and her paintings became well-known, with some eventually hanging in the White House. Lewis passed away more than a decade before I visited what would come to be called Maud’s Painted House in the early 1980s. Sadly, it had fallen into disrepair; yet it remains one of the greatest journeys I’ve ever taken.

So imagine my delight when during the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, I walked into

Sally Hawkins (right) plays Maud Lewis, a Canadian folk artist who didn’t let a crippling disease get in the way of painting bright, happy scenes of the world outside her window,

married and lived in a 12-foot-square home a theater screening Maudie (directed by Aisling without electricity or running water—Maud’s Walsh), the story of the genteel artist (played by Painted House—for nearly 40 years. They were the ever-splendent Sally Hawkins). It’s a heartfelt an unlikely pair, but it was probably destiny that and entertaining film, and I instantly reserved a brought them together. In the end, Maudie is less spot for Maudie on my list of the best movies of about art than it is about love. Everett would sell 2016, although I worried the niche film might fish and take care of the little house, while Maud not find a national distributor to bring it to U.S. brought in money by selling her paintings to theaters. When I spoke to the filmmakers, they visitors, particularly tourists who drove through were still working on securing a distributor and Marshalltown every summer. now, nearly 10 months later, MAUDIE (PG) Following Maud’s death in 1970 and I’m happy to report MaudDirected by Aisling Everett’s in 1979, their home was mostly ie—distributed by Mongrel Walsh ignored, save for a few tourist visits.

You can no longer visit Maud’s “captivating,” and The New York Painted House in Marshalltown, but Observer wrote “Sally Hawkins happily the entire structure was relocated to the is perfection.” With some Oscar buzz swirling Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax, where around Hawkins’ performance, Maudie is poised tens of thousands of visitors each year marvel for a national roll-out, which includes opening at Maud’s paintings. I highly recommend you Friday, July 21, at The Flicks. see Maudie while it’s here.

CITIZEN ISABELLA BOYLSTON

ABT ballerina returns to Idaho with world premiere performance GEORGE PRENTICE

Her voice on the phone had as much ebullience as the dancer has spring in her step.

“Hi. It’s Isabella the ballerina,” said Isabella Boylston with a laugh.

Known to her friends as Bella, Boylston is one of the most famous ballerinas in the world.

A principal with the American Ballet Theatre, she ignited New York City in 2014 in an ABT production of Giselle, and last month she was the star attraction of the ABT production of Swan Lake at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Boylston spoke about her Idaho home with almost palpable delight—especially when she talked about achieving her dream project: bringing a special-commissioned world premiere ballet to Sun Valley.

Does your family call you Bella?

My full name is Hildur Isabella Boylston.

Excuse me? Does anyone call you Hildur?

My parents, my brother and even my husband. I was named after an Icelandic great-grandmother. When I joined ABT, they strongly urged me to start going by my middle name.

I understand you were on skis from the moment you could walk.

My dad was a drummer and basically a ski bum. My parents even met on a ski lift. Skiing was a big part of our life.

It sounds a bit like a Lifetime television movie, but you grew up living in a trailer, right?

It’s true. Just south of Ketchum in the Meadows Trailer Park. I just went back there to take a look and it looks a lot nicer than I remember.

It’s been upgraded.

Talk to me about being a prima ballerina on dance’s grandest stage. Do you embrace all of that?

As soon as I knew what the American Ballet Theatre was, I was laser-focused on achieving that goal. But sometimes, I just can’t believe I got here. I wanted it for so long and worked so hard to get here.

Being a principal dancer with ABT means you’re also in the harsh glare of the New York media, which can give glowing reviews one moment and rather harsh criticism the next.

Exactly. I have colleagues who are more disciplined than me and they don’t read any of their reviews. I just think it’s hard to avoid. I take it with a grain of salt and, occasionally, you can learn from it.

Let’s talk about your vision of bringing some of the finest dancers in the world to the Sun Valley Pavilion.

First, I needed an executive producer. That’s Dan Drackett. Then, a chair of the sponsors committee. That’s Bob Smellick. They’re both from Sun Valley and had previously brought the San Francisco Ballet to Sun Valley.

It’s my understanding the performance will have video elements and an original score.

Judd Greenstein is composing and the video designs are from Kate Duhamel.

And the theme is centered around the upcoming total solar eclipse which will pass through Central Idaho at the time of your ballet in mid-August.

All we have to hope for is good weather.

Your list of fellow performers is rather stunning.

Misty Copeland, Lauren Cuthbertson, Marcelo Gomes, Kimin Kim, Maria Kochetkova. If you think of it, they’re the Michael Jordans and Roger Federers of the ballet world.

Why don’t we call you the Serena Williams of the ballet world?

Cool, I’ll take it. I love Serena. She’s incredible.

Speaking of superstars, talk to me about your work with Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence.

I can’t talk about it too much, but I can say that I worked on the upcoming film Red Sparrow. I’m Jennifer’s dance double. It was a crazy awesome experience.

DEAR MINERVA, I have a friend who I’ve known for a long time. He presents himself as a well-connected and influential person. The problem is, he’s lying about almost all of his connections and exaggerates his relationships. I have done some research on him and his alleged history, and nothing pans out. He can be very charming, but his lies are making me sick. I want to call him out, but I am not sure how I should go about it. What should I do?

I know finding out that you have been lied to is a yucky feeling.

There is no way around that, but I think what you are dealing with is something less malicious than a lie we are truly hurt by. We’ve all known the tall-tale tellers. Some people get so excited about the things in their life, their elation can get the better of them and they exaggerate the meaningfulness of their connections. Some people don’t feel good about themselves and embellish to make themselves seem more elite than they really are. These sort of “lies” don’t really hurt anyone and are difficult to conclusively disprove.

My suggestion is to ignore it because it isn’t hurting anyone, and if you’re aware he’s bending the truth, then you can be certain others are aware also. The graceful thing would be to be a bigger person and allow him to cling to his illusions.

TED RALL

JEN SORENSEN

HOBO JARGON

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Greek word philokalia is translated as the “love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent.” I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks—the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go.

But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s a favorable time to strengthen your fundamentals and stabilize your foundation. I invite you to devote your finest intelligence and grittiest determination to this project. How? Draw deeply from your roots. Tap into the mother lode of inspiration that never fails you.

Nurture the web of life that nurtures you. The cosmos will offer you lots of help and inspiration whenever you attend to these practical and sacred matters. Best-case scenario: You will bolster your personal power for many months to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two talking porcupines are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden.

It’s a prickly experience, but that’s how they like it. “I always get horny when things get thorny,” says one.

Meanwhile, in the rose garden next

door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, “This is the sharpest pleasure I’ve ever known.”

Now here’s the moral of these farout fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles?

Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explore the edgy frontiers of gusto?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that four weeks from now you will be enjoying a modest but hearty feeling of accomplishment—on one condition: You must not get diverted by the temptation to achieve trivial successes. In other words, I hope you focus on one or two big projects, not lots of small ones. What do I mean by “big projects”? How about these: taming your fears; delivering a delicate message that frees you from an onerous burden; clarifying your relationship with work; and improving your ability to have the money you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spain’s most revered mystic poet was St. John of the Cross, who lived from 1542 to 1591. He went through a hard time at age 35, when he was kidnapped by a rival religious sect and imprisoned in a cramped cell. Now and then he was provided with scraps of bread

and dried fish, but he almost starved to death. After 10 months, he managed to escape and make his way to a convent that gave him sanctuary. For his first meal, the nuns served him warm pears with cinnamon. I reckon that you’ll soon be celebrating your own version of a jailbreak, Leo. It’ll be less drastic and more metaphorical than St. John’s, but still a notable accomplishment. To celebrate, I invite you to enjoy a ritual meal of warm pears with cinnamon.

advantage of current cosmic rhythms. For the next three weeks, say them periodically throughout the day: 1) “I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I’m supposed to give,” 2) “If I can’t do things with excellence and integrity, I won’t do them at all,” 3) “I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else’s passions” and 4) “My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define,” says Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. I’d love for you to adopt that attitude, Virgo. You’re entering the Season of Generous Mystery. It will be a time when you can generate good fortune for yourself by being eager to get your expectations overturned and your mind blown.

Transformative opportunities will coalesce as you simmer in the influence of enigmas and anomalies. Meditate on the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The world will never fully know or appreciate the nature of your heroic journey. Even the people who love you the most will only ever understand a portion of your epic quest to become your best self. That’s why it’s important for you to be generous in giving yourself credit for all you have accomplished up until now and will accomplish in the future. Take time to marvel at the majesty and miracle of the life you have created for yourself. Celebrate the struggles you’ve weathered and the liberations you’ve initiated. Shout “Glory, hallelujah!” as you acknowledge your persistence and resourcefulness. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to do this tricky but fun work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’ve compiled a list of four mantras for you to draw strength from.

They’re designed to put you in the proper alignment to take maximum

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you may have drug-like effects on people in the coming

weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms and Ecstasy—or sometimes all three simultaneously. What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds? Here’s one possibility: Get people excited about what you’re excited about, and call on them to help you bring your dreams to a higher stage of development.

Here’s another: Round up the support you need to transform any status quo that’s boring or unproductive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A source of tough and tender inspiration seems to be losing some of its signature potency. It has served you well. It has given you many gifts, some difficult and some full of grace. But now I think you will benefit from transforming your relationship with its influence. As you might imagine, this pivotal moment will be best navigated with a clean, fresh, open attitude. That’s why you will be wise to thoroughly wash your own brain—not begrudgingly, but with gleeful determination. For even better results, wash your heart, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves,” said psychologist Carl Jung. What the hell did that meddling, self-important know-it-all mean by that? Oops.

Sorry to sound annoyed. My cranky reaction may mean I’m defensive about the possibility that I’m sometimes a bit preachy myself. Maybe I don’t like an authority figure wagging his finger in my face because I’m suspicious of my own tendency to do that. Hmmm. Should I therefore refrain from giving you the advice I’d planned to? I guess not. Listen carefully, Capricorn: Monitor the people and situations that irritate you. They’ll serve as mirrors.

They’ll show you unripe aspects of yourself that may need adjustment or healing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A “power animal” is a creature selected as a symbolic ally by a person who hopes to imitate or resonate with its strengths. The salmon or hare might be a good choice if you’re seeking to stimulate your fertility, for example. If you aspire to cultivate elegant wildness, you might choose an eagle or horse.

For your use in the coming months, I propose a variation on this theme: the “power fruit.” From now until at least May 2018, your power fruit should be the ripe strawberry. Why? Because this will be a time when you will be naturally sweet, not artificially so; when you will be juicy, but not dripping all over everything; when you will be compact and concentrated, not bloated and bursting at the seams; and when you should be plucked by hand, never mechanically.
