#9-5824 Sechelt Inlet Rd,
“We keep it dry”
It was a close call on the morning of Aug. 26, when someone set fire to this pickup on the Forest Service Road about a half kilometre past the end of Mason Rd. When the Sechelt fire department arrived around 7:30am, the fire had already moved several feet into the adjacent forest. “It was a bit of a dangerous situation,” said Sechelt Fire Chief Trevor Pike. The RCMP are investigating to determine whether the 1989 Chevy S10 was used in a crime, but a spokesman said it had not been reported stolen. The spot where it was torched is on the way to the scene of the Old Sechelt Mine forest fire that caused widespread damage and a death in 2015. The burning truck was discovered – and first called in – by Ken Legge, who was on his way in from his home at Carlson Point. During the 2015 fire, Legge was among a group who had to leave their homes on 10 minutes notice, evacuated for their own safety. KEN LEGGE PHOTO

Editorial Opinion
Weekly Cartoon
Back to school for drivers With the school year about to start back up, the Canada Safety Council would like to take this opportunity to remind motorists across Canada to adjust their driving habits accordingly. “Patience, extra attentiveness and situational knowledge go a long way toward keeping our roads safe for everyone,” said Gareth Jones, president of the Canada Safety Council. “It’s our responsibility as conscientious road users to make sure that nobody is unnecessarily put in harm’s way.” Especially in the context of young children, it’s not always easy to predict their behaviours. A child who is running to catch their bus may dart out in traffic unexpectedly, which makes defensive driving absolutely crucial. Drive at an appropriate speed, be aware of the child’s presence and be prepared to stop suddenly. The same holds true for school buses themselves. It is against the law to pass a school bus when its red signal lights are flashing. This is true regardless of the direction in which you are coming, although exception is made for oncoming traffic on a median-divided highway. If you notice a school bus approaching, do a quick scan of the area to see if there are any children waiting nearby, and be prepared to stop if the bus’s signal lights come on. A school bus is also required to stop at all railway crossings, so be on the lookout for these and prepare accordingly. Transportation of children by school bus is one of the most effective and safest methods of travel, but many students take an alternate mode of transit. Whether they’re arriving to school by bicycle, by foot, by public transportation or by being driven in a family vehicle, patience and vigilance continue to be essential. Be mindful of the potential for an increased presence of vulnerable road users, especially at crosswalks, on the roadways and in school zones. By being aware of your surroundings, you allow yourself the necessary time to react if they behave unpredictably. As with most road safety-related topics, it’s through patience and constant attention to our surroundings that we’re best able to do our part in keeping roads safe across the country. Remember to do your part and help children arrive to school safe and sound. Submitted by Canada Safety Council

I plan to send last week’s cover picture, “A Bird on a Wire” – with its Hydro truck, wires overhead, and displaced office workers wandering aimlessly around in the distance – to several of my friends in major cities. I think they would be interested to know what makes front page news in our sleepy little village. It would perhaps have been more interesting, however, if the dramatic inset of the dead bird held by the fastidious hand had been maybe four times bigger, so we could have seen more clearly and realistically what an electrocuted seagull looks like. Maybe
children would have liked to see that, too, and to have learned a lesson of some kind about wires or something. Gene Errington, West Sechelt

pital and many other worthwhile healthcare initiatives on the Sunshine Coast. (Approximately $1 million this past year.) Over the past few months, we have been experiencing increasing incidents of theft and vandalism to our donation bin as well as to donations that are left outside the store after hours. Your generous donations are pulled out of the bin, rifled through and left scattered over ours and neighbouring parking lots, and of course much of it is stolen. We have sourced new metal donation bins, which should reduce theft, but there are often items that don’t fit in the bin, or are too fragile to be dropped in which are left outside the door in plain view. We would like to request that these donations only be brought to the store during our open hours, when volunteers are on site. We can accept donations from Monday to Saturday 8am to 3pm, and Sunday 8am to noon. Please share this information with friends, continue to support our efforts and reduce the risk of your generosity going to waste. Karen Noon, chair Sunshine Coast Healthcare Auxiliary Thrift Store

Driver error caused ferry crash The Queen of Surrey’s March 26 crash into the dock at Langdale – which trapped 285 people on board for about 10 hours – was the result of “procedural” errors by the two officers on the bridge. Darren Johnston, executive director of fleet operations for BC Ferries, told the Local Aug. 26 that an internal investigation showed the ferry was mechanically sound. “The pre-arrival sequence, the checklist, was not followed,” Johnston said. There were two errors: the ferry was travelling at a speed of over 4 knots, instead of the required 1-2 knots for docking, and the angle of the approach was wrong. Johnston said BC Ferries has now added a third officer
to the bridge, responsible for cross-checking and verifying position and speed during docking. The incident cost $2.4 mil-
lion in repairs to the ship and dock, which was covered by insurance. Johnston would not say if anybody faced disciplinary action. Staff

Trouble at Horseshoe Bay terminal Around 4:30pm on Aug. 20 police vehicles along with ambulances and fire trucks arrived at Horseshoe Bay terminal to address a vehicle crash. Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy of the West Vancouver Police said the department has concluded its investigation into the death of the man who was driving the vehicle that crashed through and into two other vehicles. Goodmurphy reported that no one was in the vehicles that were struck and there were no passengers in

the vehicle that caused the crash. The driver had apparenty suffered a “medical” incident, according to ferry staff. The collision meant a 20-minute delay for the 5:30pm Queen of Coquitlam sailing from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, and delays for late afternoon sailings to Bowen Island. Earlier that day, the 2:25pm sailing of BC Ferries’ Queen of Surrey from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale was delayed by 35 minutes
due to a police incident involving a suspected impaired driver. A white Ford pickup on the 1:15pm sailing from Langdale was detained on the upper car deck after other passengers were offloaded when the ship docked at Horseshoe Bay just before 2pm. After West Vancouver police arrived, a single person was driven away in a police car while ferry staff drove the pickup off the ferry. Connie Jordison

Like humans, dogs can feel stressed. Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain resulting from demanding circumstances (stressors) which send the body into a state of freeze, fidget, flight and/or fight responses. Immediate physiological changes during fight or flight response in a dog can include an increase in shedding, hair standing on end, panting, salivation and pupil dilation. The heart rate goes up and there is an increase in blood to the muscles and in muscle tension. Memory and cognition is affected (which is why stressed dogs have a hard time learning). There is a decrease in pain perception and appetite (stressed dogs will not take a treat). If stress is chronic, it can have long-lasting negative effects on the dog. These effects can include an impaired immune system, delayed healing, inflammatory bowel disease, dermatologic issues, progression of behavior disorders and, ultimately, a shortened lifespan. Owners can help their dog avoid stress by training their dogs for events that might be stressful. Some dogs are stressed by having their ears treated or nails trimmed. Often this happens when the dog has not been given a positive association with the activity or they have had a bad or painful experience.
Owners who spend time working with the dog who does not like having his ears examined or cleaned, by touching the ears will change the dog’s perception of the event. Starting slowly by simply having the ear wash bottle out and giving him a treat and by touching the ears and giving a good treat and then building up to having the ears washed (for example) makes treatments much less stressful for the dog. Vet visits can be stressful and they don’t have to be. Ask your vet office when it’s convenient to take your dog in and just get a treat. While you are there, place a treat on the weigh scale and teach your dog to get on and take the treat (similar to a “go to the mat “exercise). Some dogs are really stressed by the presence of
unfamiliar dogs so keeping the stressed dog at a comfortable distance from an unfamiliar dog and providing something rewarding to the worried dog is a good first step in working through his or her stress. Owners who know their dog will be having surgery (for example a spay) can help make recovery easier by conditioning their dog to wear the Elizabethan collar before the surgery. Holding a treat in front of the collar so that the dog puts their head through to get the treat (and is given the treat) makes putting on the collar rewarding for the dog. Stress is a normal part of life but we can help our dogs avoid excess stress through reward training and management.
Jane’s dogs London, front, and Annie are relaxed in the sun. But many situations can stress dogs, and there are strategies to lessen the stress. JANE BOWERS PHOTO

Water rules relaxed
Boat removal to proceed
You still can’t water your lawn, but you can now wash your car. The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) announced on Aug. 27 an immediate return to Stage 2 water conservation regulations for most of the Coast, after two months of the tighter Stage 3 rules. Thanks to community diligence in conserving water and the several rain events since early July, Edwards and Chapman lake levels are now suitable to support Stage 2 water conservation regulations. The long-range forecast calls for a continuation of the current summer temperatures through at least the second half of September. Despite this expected continuation of the current summer weather, it is not anticipated that a return to Stage 3 water conservation regulations would be required this year if the current water conservation efforts by the community continues. Thank you for adhering to Stage 2 water conservation regulations. Staff will continue to monitor and respond to unforeseen changes in the supply and demand situation and will revise the water conservation regulations stage accordingly. The following regulations apply at Stage 2:
The Pender Harbour and Area Residents Association (PHARA) has signed a contract with Freedom Diving Systems Ltd of Gibsons for the removal of the Kwatna
Lawns: Lawn watering is not permitted.
Trees, shrubs or flowers: • Sprinklers or soaker hoses can be used two days per week on Thursday and Sunday for even numbered addresses from 7am to 9am and on Wednesday and Saturday for odd numbered addresses

Food producing plants and trees: • Sprinklers or soaker hoses can be used two days per week on Thursday and Sunday for even numbered addresses from 7am to 9am and 7am to 9pm and on Wednesday and Saturday for odd numbered addresses from 7am to 9am and 7pm to 9pm. • Hand held hoses with spray trigger nozzles, hand held containers or micro/ drip-irrigation can be used any time.
Commercial food producing farms: Commercial food producing farms paying a metered rate for water are exempt from Stage 2 regulations.
Washing vehicles or boats: Permitted with container, hand-held hose with spray trigger nozzles, or commercial car washes. Washing sidewalks and driveways, windows or exterior building surfaces: Permitted only for preparing surfaces for painting or paving and for health and safety. Filling swimming pools, spas, garden ponds, or fountains is permitted. The return to Stage 2 water conservation regulations applies to all SCRD water users south of Pender Harbour. All those on the Pender Harbour water system remain at Stage 1 until further notice. Submitted
Federal funds for the Coast Retiring Liberal MP Pamela Goldsmith Jones represented the federal government on Aug. 27 in making an infrastructure funding announcement that brought almost $3milion to the four local governments on the Coast. The announcement, in West Vancouver, was for the first of two installments of Gas Tax Fund revenue for the 2019-20 fiscal year, plus a socalled “top up” announced in the last federal budget. The Sunshine Coast Regional District received a total of $1,342,429, Sechelt got $950,804, Gibsons received $500,142 and the total for the Sechelt Indian Government District was $175,566. On Aug. 15, at a funding announcement for the Granthams Landing Community Hall, Goldsmith Jones said: “Working with the community on the Sunshine Coast has been so rewarding. The infrastructure grants that have been applied for to date throughout my term have all been successful.” As the MP for West Van-
couver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country, Goldsmith Jones previously announced that she will not be seeking re-election in the October 21 federal election. The Liberals have not yet announced a candidate for this riding. The MP continues to support the Prime Minister and the responsibility he has taken in relation to the SNC Lavalin affair. She also supports the work of MP Jody Wilson-Raybould and was part of an effort to see if there was a way for that MP to stay in the Liberal caucus. Wilson-Raybould resigned over the treatment she received related to the SNC Lavalin situation. She is running in the upcoming election as an Independent in the riding of Vancouver Granville. “I don’t see anything wrong with disagreement within a political party. I have also deviated from the party line and voted against our government on the issue of open net pen fish farms. I think Jody should be able to say what she thinks,” said Goldsmith Jones.

in 9.75 meters (approx. 30 ft) of water and the Kwatna is on the adjacent shoreline on Dusenbury Island. Both vessels are hazards to navigation, the public and pose a potential risk to the environment if, and when, they begin breaking apart due to age or foul weather influences. The priority is to prevent the release of debris and other pollutants in their salvage. “Residents of Pender Harbour have been telling us for years that the proliferation of derelict vessels in our harbour is a serious concern” said PHARA President Alan Stewart. “The process of getting the funding and the right to remove these first two vessels has been a long and complicated one, and we are looking forward to the successful completion of this project with the Freedom Diving Systems team”
Freedom Diving Systems Ltd (FDS) is a commercial diving and salvage company based in Gibsons. In January 2019, PHARA received $9,995 for the assessment of the two vessels, which was carried out by MacKenzie Sea Services, Ltd. Freedom Diving Systems produced a site assessment report, quote and salvage strategy in February. Under Transport Canada’s Abandoned Boats Program, PHARA has received a funding commitment of $75,675, to cover 75 per cent of the $84,551 removal costs. The balance of the costs will be covered through contributions of labour from PHARA board members, PHARA funds, and fundraising by PHARA, including a grant-inaid from the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

Refurbished resort offers history and comfort Looking for a get-away that doesn’t involve Lower Mainland traffic? The Lund Resort at Klah am men is sure to impress. Lund can be reached from the lower Coast
with a ferry ride and a couple of hours of driving. There, visitors can enjoy a blend of nature, history, culture and recreation. To start the journey, check
BC Ferry sailing times on the Earls Cove and Saltery Bay runs. The 50-minute sailing is a scenic one, with views of Agamemnon Channel and Texada Island.
Lund is another 30-minute drive north, at mile ‘0’ of Highway 101. It is also home to the starting point of the SunCoaster Trail. Ocean access is plentiful, and the bay is popular with pleasure boaters, kayakers, canoeists and paddle boarders. The Lund Resort at Klah ah men is the centrepiece of the community, formerly known as the Historic Lund Hotel &
Marina. It is an iconic white wood structure, that is modern, yet reflects the over 100year history of the facility. Inside, is an impressive array of First Nations artwork and design features. The 31 newly-refurbished rooms range from first class ocean view suites to rooms for families, persons with special mobility needs and travellers with pets. The resort complex
includes a hotel, marina facilities, bar, restaurant and coffee house, general store (with BC Liquor retail sales), post office, and an art studio. Watch for our full feature on the iconic Lund Resort at Klah ah men in the Local Weekly’s Sunshine Coast Business Magazine October issue. Learn more at www. lundresort.com. Connie Jordison

New oil recycling facility for Gibsons BC Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA), a not-for-profit group dedicated to the collection and recycling of lubricating oil, oil filters, oil containers, antifreeze and antifreeze containers in BC, has announced that Kenmac Auto Parts, 1046 Gibsons Way, Gibsons, has upgraded their used oil recycling facility. This new facility will provide the res-
idents of Gibsons, and in the surrounding areas, with an easy, free and eco-friendly way to dispose of their used oil and antifreeze materials. The Return Collection Facility (RCF) infrastructure grant that Kenmac Auto Parts received from BCUOMA provided them with a modified sea container to facilitate the responsible collection and management of used oil, anti-
freeze, filters and containers. “Kenmac Auto Parts has done a great job in upgrading their used oil recycling infrastructure to ensure that their customers have a free, easy and convenient facility to dispose of their used oil and antifreeze materials,” said David Lawes, executive director, BC Used Oil Management Association. “They are a forward thinking organization,
and they understand the importance of properly disposing of these materials.” BCUOMA’s RCF infrastructure grant program’s purpose is to ensure that there are sufficient RCFs across British

Two decades of drag race history With the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Association (SCDRA) 20th anniversary race rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 7 at the Sechelt Airport, the club’s first president, Wayne Taylor, looks back at two decades of the club he founded with the late Ted Meldrum and a group of local drag racing enthusiasts. Taylor spreads his half dozen or so scrap books over the dining room table showing the chronological and pictorial history of the SCDRA. Flipping through the pages he points to several faded articles along with a number of “letters to the editor”. Some letters were supportive and others not so complimentary of the sport, the drag racing
community and its participants. He gestures to one letter where a concerned citizen suggested the thought of the airport being used as a drag strip was as silly as highway 101 being shut down to accommodate a tennis tournament or the ferry dock being closed for a fishing derby. Another resident considered drag racing to be one of the neighbourhood annoyances just like the SPCA, gun club and the fish plant. Taylor emphasizes it was the incredible support of the Sechelt council that ensured drag racing would become a reality. It’s been 20 years but he agrees with the local paper which reported the coun-
cil meeting on that July 7 in 1999 to be very feisty. At that meeting, council had decided the Sechelt Airport should be shared. According to Taylor, there was a lot of misinformation out there at the time but 20 years of drag racing at the Sechelt Airport has proven to be a net benefit to the Sunshine Coast. Taylor still loves drag racing but hasn’t participated for many years. He’ll be at the Sept. 7 race providing words of encouragement to the volunteers, walking in the pits and reminiscing with those who’ve been around for a while. Submitted by Richard Austin

ARTS & CULTURE
Film series starts with “Woman at War” The Sunshine Coast Film Society is pleased to announce that all films in the 2019-2020 season will be screened at the Raven’s Cry Theatre in Sechelt, as well as at the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons. In order to fit all eight films into the fall schedule in Sechelt, there will be four Thursday matinees and four Saturday matinees. Visit www.scfs.ca for details. Copies of the schedule are available at public libraries. The fall season opens Sept. 7 and 9 with the critically acclaimed Icelandic film “Woman at War”. This quirky production thoroughly engages, delivering thrills with a side dish of laughs. It is the tale of Halla, a middle-aged choir leader living a secret life as
an environmental activist waging a one-woman war on the local aluminum industry. Operating mostly solo in her heroic and elaborate quests, her actions soon put her at serious odds with the authorities. Just as she learns that her long-term plan of adopting a child is about to be fulfilled, she realizes that her dream could be jeopardized by her activism. Director Benedikt Erlingsson is able to lift the dark, comedic nature of the film with touches of warmth, wit and wisdom. His use of a live band and an acapella trio (Like a Greek Chorus) to accompany Halla in almost every scene has both a comedic and disquieting effect. Halla played by Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir drives
“Woman at War” with strength, defiance and humour in a physically demanding role. She also plays her New Age-y twin sister, Asa, a dubious partner in crime. The musical interludes and gorgeously filmed landscapes of rural Iceland help create a collage of experiences for the viewer. Is it a comedy, a drama or a thriller? “Woman at War” cleverly entertains while delivering a serious message which endures long after the credits roll. The film will be screened Saturday, Sept. 7, 2pm at Raven’s Cry Theatre in Sechelt, and Monday, Sept. 9, 7:30pm at the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons. Members $5, others $9. www.scfs.ca Submitted by Bette Chadwick

Silas White’s roots in indie rock Born-and-bred Sunshine Coaster Silas White is finally launching an album he recorded with his Toronto band Electric Fences 16 years ago, “Retroact 2001-2004”. Electric Fences were a post-punk indie rock band that played in small Toronto clubs with the likes of Great Lake Swimmers, Elliott Brood and Castlemusic. After White moved back to Pender Harbour and Gibsons in 2004, music gradually took a back seat to family and a local political career. “I’ve never given up on this album,” says White. “I’d fiddle with the mixing, sometimes with help from friends, every year or so, and eventually got it mastered and pressed on vinyl through the record label Kingfisher Bluez. But I’ve recently needed to reset my life. Playing music again has been integral to my recovery.” Electric Fences reformed with Andrew Bate (drums, formerly of Tube Radio and Robotic Horse, Mechanical Sun) and Calen Degnan (bass, Pretty Eyes for Captain America, Reasons to Live books and formerly the Shiny Diamonds). Degnan is also launching his Pretty Eyes for Captain American “Secret City” album (only eight months late) at the Electric Fences record release party at the Gumboot Café, Sat-
urday, Aug. 31. Doors are at 7:30pm and admission is $10. “I know a lot of people on the Coast who like bands like the Weakerthans, Wilco, the Shins and Modest Mouse, but there haven’t been many similar local bands. These people should come check us out,
Please pre-register with the following information: 1) Name and number of participants 2) Organization, group or company name 3) If you have a: -Vehicle capable of hauling garbage -Extra seats for carpooling 4) Contact information
along with all our friends.” says White. Electric Fences’ “Retroact 2001–2004” will be available on vinyl at Melomania, Reasons to Live, Talewind Books and Earthfair, and is available for digital download through Bandcamp, AppleMusic and Spotify. Submitted

Seawatch residents launch lawsuits against Sechelt, BC and developer The owners of eight homes in the sinkhole-ridden “Seawatch” neighbourhood in Sechelt have commenced legal actions against the District of Sechelt, the Province of BC and others after being forced to leave their homes by an evacuation order and declaration of a state of local emergency made by the District in February of this year which have been extended on an ongoing basis until now. In eight separate actions filed on August 13, the owners claim that the Seawatch site was well known by the District to be prone to geotechnical hazards at the time the subdivision was approved in 2006. They allege that the District was negligent both in approving the development and, after its initial approval, allowing it to proceed after further problems repeatedly arose as the development progressed. Rod Goy, one of the affected owners and spokesperson for the group, says: “In our view, this site should never have been approved for development in the first place. From what we can tell, the District fumbled the ball in assessing the geotechnical risks and failed to follow even the requirements of its own Official Community Plan and Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw in granting a development permit and approving the subdivision”. The actions further allege that the geotechnical covenants registered at the time of subdivision, by the time the owners bought their homes in 2013 and 2014, conveyed a misleadingly benign impression of the geotechnical issues associated with the site, and that the District had a duty to warn prospective purchasers of the true nature and extent of issues that it knew of by that time. The legal actions all name the District of Sechelt, the Province of BC and Concordia Seawatch Ltd., the developer of the project, as defendants. The individual directors of Concordia, and the real estate agents who acted for the owners in buying their properties, are also named as defendants in some of the actions. According to Goy, “The fact that the residents of Seawatch now own homes we can’t use and that are essentially worthless appears to be the result of a series of errors made at multiple levels over many years. We hope to get to the bottom of what those errors were in our legal actions”. On February 15, 2019, the District of Sechelt declared a “state of local emergency” and issued an evacuation order requiring all residents in the neighbourhood to vacate their homes. The stated basis for the evacuation order was “due to immediate danger to life safety due to land subsidence and geotechnical instability”. The emergency declaration has been extended by the District, with the Province’s approval, on a weekly basis ever since. The owners
allege that the District and Province’s actions in “serially extending” the emergency declaration constitutes an “abuse of power” which has “deprived [them] of access to, and of possession, use and en-
joyment” of their homes. The owners of the eight homes are jointly represented by Jeff Scouten of Hakemi & Ridgedale LLP, a Vancouver law firm. In addition to the actions brought by these
owners, legal actions brought previously by the owners of four other homes, who are represented by other counsel, are also currently underway. The group’s lawyer, Scouten, says: “The residents affect-
ed by the District’s apparently perpetual emergency declaration are in an intolerable situation that no homeowner anywhere should ever have to endure. They have been put out of their homes with-
out any indication of what, if anything, the District or Province plan to do to address the supposed ‘emergency’ or when, if ever, they will be able to return. They have been left utterly in the dark”. Submitted

Horoscope Michael O’Connor Astrologer
Tip of the Week: The New Moon in Virgo on August 30 takes place with Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Virgo as well In fact, the Sun/ Moon conjunction is just 1 degree to the minute behind Mars. This indicates a strong urge to be industrious and in a way that includes getting to the bottom of things. This could include repairs and renovations. By the time of the next New Moon, autumn will have officially begun. So, this one will ride out the summer season. Students returning back to school may be pleasantly surprised that they feel ready and determined to attend diligently to their studies. In the background, Saturn closely aligned with the Lunar South Node has and continue to synchronize with rather heavy moods, attitudes, and situations. Positively, the accomplishments that might arise from this cycle could serve to offset the weight and burden. Jupiter will play a leading role this month guiding us to keep the bigger picture in mind as we attend to the finer details, Virgo style. Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) In the deep end, your quest to create a lifestyle that truly meets your needs continues. In fact, it has recently taken a serious turn. You have taken another major step beyond thinking about it to exercising
a more sober and deliberate round of analysis and constructive criticism to it. This includes practically assessing the actual realities implied. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) You have entered a creative power cycle. It will last for about a month especially. Yet, the decisions you may choose to make during this significant time window can last much longer, perhaps even the rest of your life. Creative power is much less about control and implies a genuine interest in cooperation, which is the mark of true leadership. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Wow, what is happening at your place? The planetary alignments indicate some big projects are underway. These include clearing, purging and renovating too. The focus may be directed at your environment, yet may also be pointed at your, your overall level and health and your lifestyle, in general. Better implies beauty. Make it so! Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22) You have your thinking cap on now and it is an especially brilliant one. Well, the cap is just the symbol of intention and all the brilliance is yours to exercise and realize. Work is implied. Inspiration without perspiration is like offering a cheer to the project without any actionable follow through. On the other hand, your focus may be to appreciate the genius of others. As well. Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23) Building upon new foundations is squarely on your mind. Such ambitions usually succeed when a strategic plan is part of the process. You are
probably more serious than you have been in a long time. You may have all the answers you need but may also need and benefit from the wisdom and guidance of other key players. Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22) This New Moon in your chart indicates that you will be taking new initiatives. Pioneering leads and actions is another way of describing these. Taking an original and inventive approach is implied. Striking a balance between having a vision for your future and paying close attention to the practical details is key to your success. Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Some cycles call us out of the limelight and away from social interactions to focus behind the scenes for a while. This is one of those cycles for you. What you will do back there is for you to decide. Sometimes all that is needed is time out to read, or to write, a good book. Maybe you simply seek silence to commune with your soul. Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) This New Moon occurs in your solar house of friendships so you can anticipate some activity in this area of your life. On the other hand, it so happens that a core feature of your destiny indicates that the most important friendship for you to cultivate in your life is the one with yourself. Yet, the magic of achieving success this way is that your expanded light becomes very attractive. Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21) Your career and public life are getting the spotlight now. As far as you are concerned,
practical returns are more important than attention or are at least a core feature of it. So, how can you have both? Giving and/or receiving training and instruction are indicated. This is a very practical cycle for you and it implies work and returns from your efforts as well. Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19) When it comes to defining your philosophy, you appreciate high levels of intelligence, articulated precisely and which both serve practical and spiritual ends. The deeper question in this equation is linked to how you define the word spiritual. It is quite likely that you are a realist and actual, mutually satisfying service rendered and received says it all. Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 19) Some cycles are all about clearing and purging. This can come in many forms. Thinking holistically, we are each a synthesis of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers within our being. Thus, we are wise to attend to all of these. At this time the focus is upon cleansing to purify. The main questions to answer now include answering what is your focus and how to do it. Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20) This New Moon cycle will serve to activate important changes on relationship fronts. The blend of planets suggests a synthesis of grit and grace in your process. The grit largely implies determination and readiness to do the work and stand your ground against opposing forces whether within or without. The grace is to do so with poise.
