EDITOR’S NOTE
WELCOME, SUMMER
We adore Spring. But Spring 2019 was abysmal. Cold. Wet. Simply miserable. Which is why Summer can’t come soon enough for our taste. Indeed, come Friday, June 21, the Sun will reach its highest position in the sky, giving us plenty of daylight and officially launching the Summer of 2019. So, this week’s Boise Weekly embraces all things summer. Up first, BW contributor Drew Dodson takes us to McCall where city officials are again preparing for their big Fourth of July celebration. But, as they have for the past three years, the city will ban alcoholic beverages on the Fourth at parks along Payette Lake. It’s an interesting debate in which city officials say they prefer a “family-friendly” Independence Day. Check out Drew’s story on page 5. Up next, it’s BW contributor Hayden Seder who gives us a comprehensive preview of summer events in Sun Valley on pages 6 and 7. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, yoga, even ice skating—you name it, the Wood River Valley beckons us all. Hayden returns on page 8 to preview this year’s World Village Fest in Boise, one of our favorite weekends of the summer. The celebration is the brainchild of Global Lounge, a Boise nonprofit. BW’s Lindsay Trombly has a story on page 10 on a fascinating conversation that occurred recently in, of all places, the Amsterdam Lounge in downtown Boise. That’s where University of Idaho Extension educator Ariel Agenbroad challenged attendees to think a bit more about why they buy what they buy when they roam the aisles of a grocery store. I’ll return on page 15 to preview some of the more intriguing titles in the cinema this summer. Truth be told, 2019 hasn’t been a stellar year in movie theaters thus far. But fear not, the king is coming soon. As in The Lion King. And you’ll definitely want to check out the latest entry from our columnist “Anonymously Single” on page 18. This week, A.S. tells us a bit about “Paul” (not his real name). Pretty steamy stuff. Rather appropriate for summer, don’t you think? —George Prentice, Editor

MCCALL’S INDEPENDENCE DAY BOOZE BAN, PART FOUR “We’ve slowly been scaling back through the years.” DREW DODSON PH OTO S BY D RE W D O D SO N
McCall’s ban on alcohol at its beachfront parks during the Fourth of July will expire after the 2020 holiday.
Beer, wine and cocktails will not be on the menu for the fourth year in a row at beaches around Payette Lake during the annual McCall Independence Day celebration. A ban on alcoholic beverages will be in effect for 24 hours on Thursday, July 4, in the City of McCall, including at Legacy, Brown, Davis Beach, Art Roberts and Rotary parks. The ban is shorter than previous years, since the holiday will fall on a Thursday this year and the culture surrounding the holiday has changed, McCall Police Chief Justin Williams said. “We’ve slowly been scaling back through the years on this,” he said. Alcohol will also be banned for the fourth straight year at North Beach Unit of Ponderosa State Park on Payette Lake by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and Valley County. The ban at North Beach will be in effect from Wednesday- Sunday, July 3-7, Valley County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jason Speer said. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
Boat access will be allowed during the ban on about three-fourths of the beach starting on the west side near Warren Wagon Road and extending east. The eastern 300 feet will be a designated swimming area, Speer said. The county, city and state entered into an agreement to regulate the Fourth of July celebration in 2016. After a two-year extension signed by the city earlier this year, the agreement between the agencies will expire following the 2020 holiday. “From the first year of the ordinance and a full closure, we feel we are on track to return this unit (North Beach) back to little or no restrictions as stated when the ordinance was signed,” Speer said. Since 2016, the alcohol ban has been credited with ridding the parks of rowdy young adults who in past years had drawn complaints for drunkenness, explicit language and various stages of nudity. Those complaints peaked in 2015, when July 4 fell on a Saturday.
In the first year of the proscription, alcohol was banned in all city parks and at North Beach for the entire weekend leading up to July 4, which fell on a Monday. The city reduced the ban to only beachfront city parks in 2017, but made the parks dry for five days from July 1-5. North Beach remained dry that year during the holiday celebration. In 2018, dry areas were limited to beachfront city parks from 8 p.m. on July 3 to 8 a.m. on July 5. A 10-day ban was instituted at North Beach from June 29 to July 9. Independence Day will again fall on a Saturday in 2020, and local authorities said the holiday falling on a weekend will allow them to test the waters during a peak celebration to determine whether the ban needs to be renewed beyond 2020. North Beach was the site of impromptu beach parties attended by hundreds of people between 2007 and 2015 that officials said resulted in large amounts of trash and excessive alcohol use.
The beach was nearly deserted in 2016 and 2017, the first two years of the ban, but about 100 people enjoyed the beach on the holiday last year. Anecdotal reports blame the poor turnout on misconceptions that the entire town was dry for the holiday, which prompted many to take their celebrations elsewhere. The city instituted the Lakeside Liberty Fest at Legacy Park featuring family friendly activities in an attempt to encourage families to return to the city for the holiday. The festival will continue this year at Legacy Park with a hodgepodge of music, food, booths and activities on Independence Day and the return of “Movie Under the Stars” on Friday, July 5, McCall Communications Manager Erin Greaves said. “We are excited to host another amazing day on the shores of the Payette!” Greaves said.

ARTS & CULTURE AROUND THE WORLD IN ONE WEEKEND World Village Fest bridges cultures through music, storytelling and food HAYDEN SEDER PHOTOS COURTESY WORLD VILL AGE FEST GLOBAL LOUNGE
Global Lounge Director of Community Outreach Donna Kovaleski: “Our goal was to help people be more comfortable with the diversity and gain a curiosity and understanding of people who now call Idaho home.”
Boise was once home to a monoculture with little, if any, diversity among the 0people living here. But over the last several decades, with an influx of refugees, students from every corner of the U.S. and employees relocating to work at some of Boise’s thriving companies, that monoculture has blossomed into a chorus of voices from all walks of life that has redefined the City of Trees. To celebrate as many of those cultures as possible under one umbrella, the World Village Fest—an event filled with art, food, music and most importantly people—began five years ago. The 2019 edition will take place Friday, June 21, through Sunday, June 23, at Cecil D. Andrus Park in downtown Boise. World Village Fest is the brainchild of Global Lounge, a Boise nonprofit established in 2006 with a mission to build communities through thoughtful cultural preservation, education, integration and the promotion of cultural awareness. “Global Lounge is very interested in creating bridges across various communities,” said Global Lounge Director of Community Outreach and Communication Donna Kovaleski about starting the event. “Our goal was to help 8 | JUNE 19–25, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY
people be more comfortable with the diversity and gain a curiosity and understanding of people who now call Idaho home. We wanted to create a space where people could come together and get to know the cultures of people who now live here.” Creating a safe space was of utmost importance for the founders of the event, especially considering how many new Americans in Boise are here as a result of refugee resettlement, which began in the 1970s. Today, Idaho has four refugee settlement agencies, and myriad other organizations support refugees. During the 1990s, many from Bosnia-Herzegovina came to Boise as refugees. To help the community gather and maintain their traditions, the cultural group Mladi Behar was started, and it has since performed at numerous events including World Village Fest. “World Village Fest feels like it’s where we belong,” says Maya Duratovic, a performer in the group. “It’s a place that other organizations like ourselves are performing and we can relate to them and they can relate to us through our struggles of trying to keep our culture alive. It feels like family to us.”
When Duratovic’s family moved to Boise in 1997, hers and other Bosnian-Herzegovinian children’s parents would come together and make their costumes while the children practiced dance, something that didn’t feel divisive like religion or politics, especially considering where the community had just fled. “We were all recent immigrants to the U.S.,” Duratovic said. “We felt it was really nice to have a group of people who could understand you and to do something in the community to show where you come from.” The three-day festival, which usually attracts roughly 7,000 people, includes participants from around the world, including Mexico, the Basque country, Portugal, China, Japan, the Philippines, Bosnia, numerous African nations, Laos, North and South America, the Middle East, India and Greece, as well as Native Americans. A few musical performances will take place over the weekend, including headliners Mykal Rose with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare (Grammy-award winning legends performing Jamaican roots reggae), Rising Appalachia, a collection of sounds,
stories and songs, and La Misa Negra from Oakland performing a unique blend of heavyweight cumbia and high-energy, AfroLatin music. Over the weekend, five aerosol artists from Boise’s Sector Seventeen artist collective will work on 20 paintings for a silent auction. The Cross Cultural Film Theatre will feature live action films made by local Latinx children. There will also be interactive children’s art and hands-on cultural activities for all ages. World Village Artist in Residence, Amiri Osman, a Master Batik artist from Africa, will be in attendance. Over the weekend, there will be over 30 free multi-cultural dance, music and literary performances, retail vendors and food from around the world. “My favorite part of the event is the interaction I see; multiple generations come to one event and there’s something for everyone,” Kovaleski said. “My favorite part is just seeing the joy and delight of people getting engaged with culture. It’s just really nice to be a part of people that care about culture and want to embrace it in all ways.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

WINESIPPER DRINK IN THE PINK
2018 CASCAVEL ROSE, MONTS & VERTIGES, $17.99 This Provençal pink is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah grown organically. It’s light in color, but rich in strawberry and rhubarb aromas backed by lilac and rose. Tangerine and ripe cherry flavors lead off on the palate, balanced by zesty citrus that comes through on the creamy finish. 2018 DOMAINE DE FONTSAINTE GRIS DE GRIS, $17.99 Grenache Gris (the pink skinned cousin of Grenache Blanc) dominates this Corbieres rose, blended with a little Carignan and Mourvedre. It opens with wild cherry, melon and quince aromas. The oh-so-smooth and refreshing palate is highlighted by fresh strawberry and peach flavors that turn crisp and minerally on long, long finish. 2018 MISTRAL VALLEE LUBERON ROSE, $12.99 Administratively, the Cotes du Luberon is a part of France’s Rhone Valley, but stylistically, the wines are more akin to those of Provence. A blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah, this wine offers heady aromas of cherry pie and apricot. The mouth has a nice richness with crisp apple playing against creamy strawberry. It finishes long and lively with just a hint of spicy pepper. —David Kirkpatrick 10 | JUNE 19–25, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY

As rose wines have become more and more popular, their color has become lighter and lighter, to where now, many have just the barest blush of pink. Fortunately, the best still retain all the crisp and lively flavors that make them such a refreshing choice this time of year. As this tasting proved, they have a way with rose in the south of France. Here are three that beg to be enjoyed well-chilled on a warm summer afternoon:
THOUGHT FOR FOOD
The marketing and “value systems” that determine what goes in our grocery carts LINDSAY TROMBLY Look out, mom and dad: Don’t let those fun smiles on the faces of Cap’n Crunch, Tony the Tiger and the Trix rabbit fool you. It’s all about business and how companies desperately want your food dollars. “Psychologists have actually done studies on cereal boxes, and how those cartoon characters look into your children’s eyes. And as you walk the cereal aisle, your children end up saying, ‘I want Tony the Tiger,” said Ariel Agenbroad, “What do you consider to be ‘fresh?’” area extension educator with the University of Idaho Extension. a few repeatedly referred to what they called Cartoon characters on the boxes of breakfast use to attract customers, but one of the most “natural” foods. powerful is also one of the simplest: the liberal cereal was just one of a full buffet of topics Agenbroad said an abundance of Treasure use of the word “fresh” throughout the aisles Agenbroad served up at a recent Vandal Voices Valley grocers satisfies nearly all of those of any grocery store.

SCREEN
STARTS FRIDAY JUNE 21
Some of the summer’s most intriguing films are still waiting to hit the big screen: Lion King (left), Toy Story 4 (upper right), Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood (middle right) and The Farewell (bottom right).
SIZZLE OR FIZZLE?
Here’s hoping that the summer’s remaining films get better GEORGE PRENTICE Yes, it’s a jungle up there; so, it only stands to reason that The Lion King will probably rule the big screen come mid-July. Business Insider has already dubbed this “a bleak summer full of stale sequels.” Three big-budget sequels, in the X Men, Godzilla and Secret Life of Pets franchises, have already tanked (Dark Phoenix is the worst-performing title in X-men history). But the good news is that the King is coming on Friday, July 19. Meanwhile, here are a few other high-profile titles in the next couple of months, and a few art house gems that you probably shouldn’t miss. Thursday, June 20 – Toy Story 4. True, we thought this franchise was over. But hey, it’s Pixar. It’s Tom Hanks. It’s Tim Allen. So yes, we’ll be there on opening day. BOISE WEEKLY.COM
Friday, June 28 – The Last Black Man in San Francisco. We’re VERY excited to see this film from director Jim Taylor, one of the best new filmmakers on the scene. Friday, June 28 – Yesterday. On paper, the premise sounded swell: A freak global accident results in no one, except a flailing musician, remembering who the Beatles were. So, the musician passes off the Fab Four’s classics as his own. Sad to say, early reviews have been far from stellar. Friday, July 2 – Spider-Man: Far From Home. The Hollywood Reporter says this sequel is tracking for a huge $150 million-plus holiday bow. We’re skeptical. Friday, July 12 – The Art of Self-Defense. At its SXSW premiere, it was hailed as “an instant
offbeat comedy classic.” We’re in. Friday, July 19 – The Lion King. Long live the king. Cinema owners may want to start popping the extra popcorn right now. Friday, July 26 – One Upon a Time…In Hollywood. Tarantino. DiCaprio. Pitt. Yes. Friday, Aug. 8 – The Farewell. This Sundance breakout stars the always-watchable Awkwarfina. Friday, Aug. 16 – Where’d You Go, Bernadette? This dark comedy from director Richard Linklater (Boyhood) and starring Cate Blanchett has been bounced around the calendar quite a bit, but we’re still anxious to see it. Friday, Aug. 23 – David Crosby, Remember My Name. We’ve already seen this film from Idaho’s own A.J. Eaton and it’s a winner.

Pitbull
BOISE KIND DAY
BOISE MUSIC FESTIVAL
In the upcoming film Yesterday, a stroke of magic (or something) leaves Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) the last man on Earth who remembers The Beatles. Suddenly, songs like “Hey Jude,” “Here Comes the Sun” and, of course, “Yesterday” have fresh significance, and Beatlemania sweeps the land again for the very first time. Sans magic, there’s Rain, a Beatles cover group that will wash the Morrison Center for a recreation of one of those record-busting ‘60s concerts. Each member of the group has a story to tell about what The Beatles mean to them, but Steve Landes, its singer and guitarist, has a doozie: He once performed the Fab Four’s hit “Slow Down” with pre-Ringo drummer Pete Best in the U.K. Because of Rain’s look and sound, its Friday, June 21, performance is just about as close as Boise will get to an actual live Beatles show. 8 p.m. $38-$58. Morrison Center, 1910 University Drive, Boise, morrisoncenter.com.
Boiseans are nice. They wave each other through busy intersections (sometimes even when they have the right-of-way), give extremely detailed instructions when asked for directions, and are, generally, a give-the-shirts-off-theirbacks kind of people. Volunteerism is important in the City of Trees, and in that vein, the City of Boise launched its Boise Kind campaign, with the goal of reinforcing how good a place Boise is to live through service. It will culminate with Boise Kind Day. There are nine service projects to choose from (some projects are already full; check the website), like cleaning up goatheads in the Boise Foothills, spreading bark mulch around tree wells at Nottingham Park, crushing cans at the Idaho Humane Society, joining a food drive with the Idaho Foodbank, and helping Zoo Boise prepare for the opening of its Gorongosa National Park exhibit. Various times and locations, boisekind. cityofboise.org.
Don’t peg the Boise Music Festival with just one genre. With performers like Robin Thicke, Carly Rae Jepson and even Flo Rida having taken the stage in years past, it’s one of the more eclectic festivals of its kind. This year, Pitbull will headline. He first appeared on Lil Jon’s Kings of Crunk in 2002, but since then, he has performed with the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, and the song they recorded, “We Are One (Ole Ola),” became the 2014 FIFA World Cup’s official theme. He and the festival have more than one constituency: Genres from rock and country to alt, acoustic and rap will all get their dues. Other performers will include Roses are Red, Sportcourt, Madisun Proof and many others. Adding to the carnival atmosphere will be more than 40 food and 100 merch vendors to keep attendees fed and stylish. 10 a.m.-10 p.m. $30. Expo Idaho, 5610 N. Glenwood St., Garden City, boisemusicfestival.com.

A celebrated singer-songwriter, she became a titan of folk music in the early 1960s, befriending luminaries in the Beat and hippie scenes, and in later years, she became known as a great storyteller. In her later years, she occasionally swooping into Boise for a show at the Sapphire Room. Soon after her death, a memorial musical gathering cropped up, and has since become a tradition.

ANONYMOUSLY SINGLE “PAUL,” PART 1 After about a year of self love and self help books, I’d moved on with my life. I started a new job and had a kick in my step. One day I’m sitting at my desk and this beautiful man walks in. Being exceptionally skilled at customer service, I offered to help “Paul” (not his real name). We chatted some, I laughed at his jokes and before he left I slipped him my card. You never know if someone is going to have a question once they get home? I’d barely finished telling the girls in my office about my new crush when he called! Seriously?! When does that ever happen? In fairness, texting hadn’t really taken off yet so men still knew how to call a girl and ask her out. Our first date was great! I hadn’t been jaded by online dating or Netflix documentaries yet so I let him pick me up. We went to dinner and drinks. That went so well that he asked if I wanted to get one more at another place. Um yes, obviously! As we’re leaving the bar, a Blake Shelton song comes on and he takes my hand and starts swing dancing with me. God bless country boys! In that moment I thought, “this is the man I’m going to marry.” Our second date was even better! Can you imagine? He picked me up and we went out on his boat. On our first date I’d told him about my favorite sandwich place so naturally he picked some up for our boat ride. We drove around Lucky Peak, ate our sandwiches and played in the water. It was amazing! Being the Christian girl I am, I couldn’t give it up on the second date. But I wanted him to know he was appreciated so we made out in his truck and somehow I managed to get a rug burn on my knee. Lucky for me, it scarred so I have something to remember him by. Ever date a guy like that? Do you have any battle wounds from fun nights? Cheers to cheap upholstery.

Let it never be said that Jonathan Warren & the Billy Goats doesn’t shoot with both barrels. In October 2018, it released its latest full-length album, Cletus—a sometimes somber cut that perfectly captured the changing of the seasons and the band’s twangy, whiskey-drenched sound—it threw not one, but two release parties. BW reviewed the album thus: “Cletus has the penetrating lassitude of turning leaves, occupying the space between the last sunscreen application and the first shoveled driveway.” It’s the Idaho way, and few bands have captured the aesthetic of the Gem State quite like JW, who was born in Tennessee but has made Idaho his home and, in turn, won its creaky heart. Normally a denizen of Pengilly’s Saloon, the band will brave the sunlight for Alive After Five on Wednesday, June 19. —Harrison Berry

TINSLEY ELLIS, THE OLYMPIC, JUNE 23 Being the best blues band in Atlanta is like serving the best lobster in Maine or building the most beloved architectural treasure in Europe. In the 1980s, the band that wore the crown was The Heartfixers, and was fronted by a guitar hero named Tinsley Ellis. History (and also legend) has it that blues blues suzerain B.B. King handed a young Ellis one of his guitar strings at a concert, which has since become a kind of talisman. Ellis broke out on his own and cut Georgia Blue in 1988, which landed rave reviews and paved the way for other well-received albums, on which he teamed up with musicians like Peter Buck of R.E.M. and The Rolling Stones’ keyboardist Chuck Leavell. He has hit the stage with performers like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Leon Russell and Otis Rush, but on Sunday, June 23, he’ll perform in a more intimate setting: The Olympic. —Harrison Berry

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH PRIDE ON MY DARLING READERS, June is Pride month for LGBTQ+ people in the United States. While Pride week in Boise has drawn to a close, the work and the mission continues on. To all the LGBTQ+ people in Idaho and beyond, thank you for showing up in your daily lives, standing up for who you are in your dealings with others, and living authentically with bravery and conviction. Wonderful strides have been made in acceptance and celebration. With more work to do and people still fighting against progress, love and humanity, it is easy to lose focus. My advice to you if you are feeling that way is to meditate on your life as an LGBTQ+ person and draw strength from where we have come over the past 50 years. For allies, thank you for showing up and supporting. Continue embracing those around you. Continue showing support through being outspoken and compassionate. It is easy for all of us to look at headlines or online postings and lose hope but the work continues and we are in an amazing time of visibility. Definitely don’t forget that we need to feed our souls during this process so celebrate the small victories and take time to nurture your passions and rest your bodies and hears when you need a break. Boise and Idaho truly are “Too Great To Hate,” and even our smallest displays of pride impact people in positive ways. Keep up the great work making Boise a beautiful place to be yourself! —Minerva Jayne SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/AskMinerva or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM
ASTROLOGY GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the next four weeks, you’re not likely to win the biggest prize or tame the fiercest monster or wield the greatest power. However, you could very well earn a second- or third-best honor. I won’t be surprised if you claim a decent prize or outsmart a somewhat menacing dragon or gain an interesting new kind of clout. Oddly enough, this less-than-supreme accomplishment may be exactly right for you. The lower levels of pressure and responsibility will keep you sane and healthy. The stress of your moderate success will be very manageable. So give thanks for this just-right blessing! CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some traditional astrologers believe solar eclipses are sour omens. They theorize that when the Moon perfectly covers the Sun, as it will on July 2, a metaphorical shadow will pass across some part of our lives, perhaps triggering crises. I don’t agree with that gloomy assessment. I consider a solar eclipse to be a harbinger of grace, slack and freedom. In my view, the time before and after this cosmic event might resemble what the workplace is like when the boss is out of town. Or it may be a sign that your inner critic is going to shut up and leave you alone for a while. Or you could suddenly find that you can access the willpower and ingenuity you need so as to change something about your life that you’ve been wanting to change. So I advise you to start planning now to take advantage of the upcoming blessings of the eclipse. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What are you doing with the fertility and creativity that have been sweeping through your life during the first six months of 2019? Are you witheringly idealistic, caught up in perfectionistic detail as you cautiously follow outmoded rules about how to make best use of that fertility and creativity? Or are you being expansively pragmatic, wielding your lively imagination to harness that fertility and creativity to generate transformations that will improve your life forever? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mythologist Joseph Campbell said that heroes are those who give their lives to something bigger than themselves. That’s never an easy assignment for anyone, but right now it’s less difficult for you than ever before. As you prepare for the joyous ordeal, I urge you to shed the expectation that it will require you to make a burdensome sacrifice. Instead, picture the process as involving the loss of a small pleasure that paves the way for a greater pleasure. Imagine you will finally be able to give a giant gift you’ve been bursting to express. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1903, the Wright Brothers put wings on a heavy machine and got the contraption to fly up off the ground for 59 seconds. No one had ever done such a thing. Sixty-six years later, American astronauts succeeded at an equally momentous feat. They piloted a craft that departed from the Earth and landed on the surface of the moon. The first motorcycle was another quantum leap in humans’ ability to travel. Two German inventors created the first one in 1885. But it took 120 years before any person did a back-flip while riding a motorcycle. If I had to compare your next potential breakthrough to one or the other marvelous invention, I’d say it’ll be more metaphorically similar to a motorcycle flip than the moon-landing. It may not be crucial to the evolution of the human race, but it’ll be impressive—and a testament to your hard work. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the year 37 AD, Saul of Tarsus was traveling by foot from Jerusalem to Damascus, Syria. He was on a mission to find and arrest devotees of Jesus, then bring them back to Jerusalem to be punished. Saul’s plans got waylaid, however—or so the story goes. A “light from heaven” knocked him down, turned him blind, and spoke to him in the voice of Jesus. Three days later, Saul’s blindness was healed and he pledged himself to forevermore be one of those devotees of Jesus he had

BY ROB BREZSNY previously persecuted. I don’t expect a transformation quite so spectacular for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. But I do suspect you will change your mind about an important issue, and consider making a fundamental edit of your belief system. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You could be a disorienting or even disruptive influence to some people. You may also have healing and inspirational effects. And yes, both of those statements are true. You should probably warn your allies that you might be almost unbearably interesting. Let them know you could change their minds and disprove their theories. But also tell them that if they remain open to your rowdy grace and boisterous poise, you might provide them with curative stimulation they didn’t even know they needed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some children are repelled by the taste of broccoli. Food researchers at the McDonald’s restaurant chain decided to address the problem. In an effort to render this ultrahealthy vegetable more palatable, they concocted a version that tasted like bubble gum. Kids didn’t like it, though. It confused them. But you have to give credit to the food researchers for thinking inventively. I encourage you to get equally creative, even a bit wacky or odd, in your efforts to solve a knotty dilemma. Allow your brainstorms to be playful and experimental. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Spank yourself for me, please. Ten sound swats ought to do it. According to my astrological assessments, that will be sufficient to rein yourself in from the possibility of committing excesses and extravagance. By enacting this humorous yet serious ritual, you will set in motion corrective forces that tweak your unconscious mind in just the right way so as to prevent you from getting too much of a good thing; you will avoid asking for too much or venturing too far. Instead, you will be content with and grateful for the exact bounty you have gathered in recent weeks. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your inspiration for the coming weeks is a poem by Piscean poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It begins like this: “The holiest of all holidays are those / Kept by ourselves in silence and apart; / The secret anniversaries of the heart, / When the full river of feeling overflows.” In accordance with astrological omens, Pisces, I invite you to create your own secret holiday of the heart, which you will celebrate at this time of year for the rest of your long life. Be imaginative and full of deep feelings as you dream up the marvelous reasons why you will observe this sacred anniversary. Design special rituals you will perform to rouse your gratitude for the miracle of your destiny. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Orfield Laboratories is an architectural company that designs rooms for ultimate comfort. They sculpt the acoustic environment so that sounds are soft, clear, and pleasant to the human ear. They ensure that the temperature is just right and the air quality is always fresh. At night the artificial light is gentle on the eyes, and by day the sunlight is rejuvenating. In the coming weeks, I’d love for you to be in places like this on a regular basis. According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, it’s recharging time for you. You need and deserve an abundance of cozy relaxation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope that during the next four weeks, you will make plans to expedite and deepen your education. You’ll be able to make dramatic progress in figuring out what will be most important for you to learn in the next three years. We all have pockets of ignorance about how we understand reality, and now is an excellent time for you to identify what your pockets are and to begin illuminating them. Every one of us lacks some key training or knowledge that could help us fulfill our noblest dreams, and now is a favorable time for you to address that issue.
