Titans snap win streak, but take UNLV series

Senior catcher Jerrod Bravo (left) was behind the plate for Colton Eastman’s (right) 10-strikeout outing on Sunday. Bravo went 2-4 in that game and hit his first career home run the day before.

Titans take 2-of3 against UNLV at Goodwin Field HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton baseball out-slugged, out-pitched, and outscored its opponents 52-12 during a six-game win streak that ended Sunday against the

UN Las Vegas Rebels.

The offense backed a dominant Titan pitching staff ranked second in the nation in Division I team ERA as Fullerton took the series 2-1.

“It’s just a humbling experience, because when (Thomas Eshelman, Justin Garza and Tyler Peitzmeier) left last year (in the Major League Baseball draft) no one really expected us to take a step forward, and that’s what we’ve done,” said right-hander John Gavin. “I’m

happy to just get out there and be a part of it.”

With the series victory, Fullerton improved to 24-14 on the season. The Titans are 7-2 in Big West play, currently tied for first place in conference standings with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, ahead of No. 9 UC Santa Barbara.

Game 1 Sophomore right-hander Connor Seabold struck out a career-high 11 batters in six

innings during Friday night’s 12-4 win.

“He’s got a little bulldog mentality,” said pitching coach Jason Dietrich. “He’s aggressive and that’s what we want our guys to be.”

Offensively, the Titans erupted to back Seabold’s outing.

Senior first baseman Tanner Pinkston, the star of last weekend’s series against UC Davis, extended his multi-hit game streak to five, going 4-4. Coby

Kauhaahaa knocked in four of the Titans’ 12 runs and was one of seven Fullerton starters with two or more hits.

Game 2 The pitching prowess continued in Saturday’s 6-0 win.

Gavin, who ranks fourth in Big West ERA, threw a threehit shutout through seven after a first inning in which he loaded the bases with one out.

Jorge Capetillo-Ponce, Ph.D., director of Latino studies and associate professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts in Boston, joined in a panel discussion Thursday at the Graduate Student Success Center to discuss nativism, immigration and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

The event, “Trump and the Mexican Other: Theoretical Reflections on Nativism,” aimed to lead students into an academic conversation regarding important social and political happenings.

The panel also included three Cal State Fullerton faculty members: Maria Malagon, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology, Pablo Jasis, Ph.D., professor of education and Xhercis Méndez, Ph.D., assistant professor of women’s gender studies.

Capetillo-Ponce opened his presentation by displaying a mock Boston Globe newspaper dated April 9, 2018 that he created.

The front page headline read, “Deportations to begin,” accompanied by a photo of Donald Trump apparently addressing the nation.

THEATER REVIEW:

Don’t Dress for Dinner Hilarious adaptation leaves audience in a fit of laughter KATE JOLGREN Daily Titan A classic case of mistaken identities and farcical hijinks comes alive in Cal State Fullerton’s theater production of “Don’t Dress for Dinner.”

The adaptation of Marc Camoletti’s play opened Friday in the Young Theatre and brought hilarity and high energy, leaving the audience in hysterics as buffoonery unfolded.

Directed by Mark Ramont, the play centers around a philandering

husband, Bernard, on the cusp of a perfect weekend with his mistress, until his wife decides to stay home.

With the mistress’ impending arrival and his wife’s newfound reasons to stay home, Bernard must employ quick thinking to keep both of his women appeased.

Bernard, played by musical theater senior Dylan David Farris, takes the audience on a wild escapade, opening the show with frenetic energy that doesn’t quite make sense until he receives several phone calls detailing his predicament.

Bernard devises a plan on how to best deal with the situation, using his best man and best friend,

Robert, as a scapegoat for his antics.

Robert, played by theater acting senior Miguel Castellano, attempts to understand the hierarchy of half-truths created by Bernard.

He becomes thoroughly intertwined in the web of lies, finding himself in the midst of having not only one of his own mistresses, but three.

Bernard’s wife, Jacqueline, played by theater acting major Chelsea Harvey, was the perfect incredulous, shrew-like wife as she began to unravel her husband’s fallacies.

In some moments, Harvey’s face became so pinched and downturned that it was a wonder if it would ever look normal again. Harvey’s

high energy and knowing looks caused an uproar in the audience.

Suzette, played by theater acting major Autumn Rose Paramore, burst onto the stage as one of the unsuspecting mistresses to wander through Bernard’s home.

Paramore cemented the

believability of the scene with a willingness to throw herself into a character with a mistaken identity, both metaphorically and literally.

With a brash demeanor and a thick, Cockney accent, Suzette became the unfashionable and unrefined woman in the house,

but that didn’t stop her from getting her way.

With a quick wit and a talent for upselling, Suzette quickly has the rest of the house under her thumb, reveling in her abilities to outplay the players.

Poetry month event aims to dispel fear of written verse IMAN LATHAN Daily Titan

In celebration of National Poetry Month and “Poem in Your Pocket Day,” Cal State Fullerton hosted a free, public event titled “Dismantling Fear – Gathering Community” on Thursday in the Pollak Library.

The event featured readings from acclaimed poets Hannah Sanghee Park, Christopher Buckley and Kima Jones.

Irena Praitis, Ph.D., English professor and

co-coordinator of the event, said that people have a general fear of poetry and that through this event, which began in 2002, she hopes to make poetry more approachable.

“It really humanizes it,” Praitis said. “It takes it from being this sort of lofty thing and it brings it into people’s lives.”

Park opened with a reading from her book of poems, “The Same-Different.” Park is a winner of the Academy of American Poets’ Walt Whitman Award.

Claire Caldwell, English major, said that Park’s book was one that was both read and enjoyed in one of her classes taught by Praitis.

“I’ve never really been to a poetry reading where poets are reading their own stuff. I’m always reading it out of their book,” said Emily McMurry, third year English major. “I think it’s kind of fun to hear them reading their own words.”

Christopher Buckley, author of 15 books and winner of four Pushcart Prizes, also read a selection of his work and others.

The readings were

followed by a Q&A session with the two poets and opportunity to purchase their books at the event. A book signing was followed by a brief intermission.

After the intermission, poet, writer and publicist Kima Jones talked about how one can get his or her work published and out onto the market. Jones also provided advice on the significance of having the right presence, specifically within social media.

The event concluded with an open mic session for

audience members to share their own personal poetry.

The program was also coordinated by Natalie Graham, Ph.D., African-American studies professor and Jie Tian, CSUF librarian.

The departments of English, comparative literature and linguistics, African-American studies, Asian-American studies; the College of Humanities and Social Science; Associated Students, Inc. and the Pollak Library all sponsored the event.

A crowd of approximately 60,000 gathered in front of the Turkish Consulate in Los Angeles on Sunday for the annual rally for the recognition of the Armenian genocide, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Marchers waved Armenian flags and displayed signs with messages demanding reparations.

The rally was a demonstration against the mass murders committed in 1915 by the Ottoman Turkish government. Over 500,000 Armenians were estimated to be killed.

Southern California has the highest population of people of Armenian descent in the world after Armenia, with over 200,000 Armenians residing in Los Angeles County.

Clinton gets unexpected support Hillary Clinton received an unexpected compliment Sunday from Republican oil tycoon Charles Koch, according to CNN. Koch, speaking to ABC, stated that there was an “outside chance” he lends his support to Clinton in November.

Koch, who is a long-time conservative funder, alongside his brother David, had strong words for Republican front-runner Donald Trump, comparing his call to create a Muslim registry to Nazi Germany.

Hillary Clinton quickly denounced the compliment, stating she was not interested in endorsements from Koch, citing his denial of climate change and tougher voting policies.

Jorge Capetillo-Ponce, PhD., associate professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts, shared a mock newspaper to illustrate what America would become under a Trump presidency.

Trump: Mock newspaper shows country if front-runner wins CONTINUED FROM

“It kind of describes the type of economical social-political landscape that we would have if Donald Trump wins,” Capetillo-Ponce said.

Capetillo-Ponce described a story featured in the satirical newspaper about Donald Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize for uniting the Shia and Sunni branches of Islam. However, in the story, both sects united against Trump, at which the audience laughed.

“Of course it’s funny, but it’s also tragic,” said Capetillo-Ponce.

Capetillo-Ponce continued with mock articles enumerating the repercussions the country would face if Trump would be the next United States president.

The articles featured headlines like “Soldiers refuse to kill ISIS families,” as well as problems with the infamous wall that Trump has been promoting.

“The more crazy he is, the more of the conservatizing force he is — even on the Democratic side,” Mendez said. “People end up voting safe instead of voting transformative.”

The professors discussed topics ranging from the embrace of white supremacy and ideology to the questions posted in the U.S. Census to power the white population in numbers. They also talked about how the presidential campaign often detracts from issues such the 125,000 people in Brooklyn who did not get to vote in the New York primary, or the role Hillary Clinton allegedly played in helping to instate a dictator in Honduras.

During the Q&A, students brought up issues to the panel regarding “conditional whiteness,” capitalist ideas, the role whiteness plays in being a good citizen and religion.

“Whiteness Trumps everything,” Capetillo-Ponce

said, addressing a question on the phenomenon of Trump winning among religious people.

Juan Solis, 31, a graduate student at CSUF, said that he found the event interesting because he is not used to academic discussions about these topics. He said his family often talks about it but only from what the media displays about Trump.

“You can feel the fear in the people but I think it’s great when you hear a professor actually address it in an intellectual manner,” Solis said.

Capetillo-Ponce agreed, saying he found the community at CSUF curious and engaged.

“It seems to me that they are worried about Trump’s emergence and rise,” Capetillo-Ponce said.

He said that he would publish more research after the November election, containing more suggestions on what else could be done to counter the rise of Trump.

Julian was born in Pomona, California, where he would later work for a local radio station. He also worked for the Baldwin Park Police department before switching to radio.

Julian displayed a composed demeanor, and his earnest onair personality was an everyday presence in many Southern Californians’ morning commutes.

He is survived by his wife Felicia Friesema and mother Marlene Julian.

Downtown Fullerton’s Bourbon Street Bar & Grill hosted “Night at the Bar for Autism,” a fundraising event organized by the Cal State Fullerton Center for Autism and the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity to benefit campus programs for people with autism.

CSUF parties for autism month Campus organizations celebrate to raise funds, awareness IMAN LATHAN Daily Titan In an effort to raise money and recognition for Autism Awareness Month, the Cal State Fullerton Center for Autism partnered with Alpha Phi Omega for the “Night at the Bar for Autism” event at the Bourbon Street Bar & Grill in downtown Fullerton on Thursday evening.

The event, which aimed to raise funds to support activities and events for the Center for Autism, was headed by Trissie Lee, Education Core coordinator and Erica Howell, Ph.D., co-director of the CSUF Center for Autism and associate professor in the department of special education.

This was the first time the center organized the event, which was intended to create a space for people to enjoy the evening in the name of autism awareness, Lee said.

“We are a fairly new center,” Lee said. “Not that many people knew about us, so we really wanted to find a way to

spread that awareness.”

The center is responsible for activities such as socials for adults with autism and their caregivers, creative classes for children with special needs, screening and diagnostic clinics and the Peer Assistant College Support Program for students with autism on campus, Howell said.

Howell said that 25 percent of drink proceeds from “Night at the Bar for Autism” will help fund the center’s activities.

“Because it is Autism Awareness Month, we really just wanted to throw something fun to celebrate autism awareness … and bring different student organizations together,” Lee said.

Howell lauded the student-driven aspect of the event, especially the fraternities that reached out to involve themselves. She also said Bourbon Street was an appropriate venue because of its reputation of being autism-friendly.

“Bourbon Street is actually a huge supporter of the autism community,” she said.

autism, so he began getting involved with autism-related events about six years ago.

“I have a cool bar that’s super popular with the colleges, so we just use it as a

platform to spread autism awareness,” Houser said.

The New Orleans feel of the bar was replaced with ornate blue puzzle pieces, a national symbol for autism awareness, plastered on the walls, along

with photo booths.

Candy Valles, a behavior interventionist and fourthyear psychology student at CSUF, attended the event to support the center. She hopes that events like these

can help people learn how to communicate better and interact with people with autism.

“People should just be aware,” she said. “Some people don’t understand it.”

Dinner: Play delivers chaotic scenes with farcical hijinks CONTINUED FROM

1

Paramore creates a complex image of Suzette with her ability to immerse herself in the chaos of a scene without being lost in it.

One of the most impressive aspects of the show was the amount of stage fighting incorporated into the farce.

The physicality of the performers made the play so successful and entertaining for the audience to watch.

Under fight choreographer Gabriel Baxter’s coaching, none of the performers escaped unscathed.

With a plethora of fainting scenes involving Bernard and Robert in several thinly veiled threats that turn into near fistfights, the most impressive slap

came from the first mistress, Suzanne, played by graduate acting student Shellie Sterling.

The play takes place in a present-day country home outside of London, and all of the actors had to employ an accent under the direction of dialect coach David Nevell.

With only a few instances of characters falling in and out of their best British accent, the performers were vastly believable in the midst of absurdity.

With an outbreak of innuendos and times in which various characters nearly gave away their thorny situation, the actors quickly gave justifiable cause for being titled “Don’t Dress for Dinner.”

“Don’t Dress for Dinner” will be showing until May 8 in the Young Theatre.

Exhibition reflects childhood memories through stamps CSUF student uses own Fullerton home as inspiration MEGAN SMITH Daily Titan Upon entering the “Home” exhibit, there is an immediate cozy vibe of walking inside one’s home; a welcome mat at the door, a record player emitting soft tunes and photographs on the walls of stamps, one of a cartoon-like barbeque and another a tract home neighborhood.

Megan LeMasurier, Cal State Fullerton fine arts major, held a solo exhibition at the Exit Gallery on Saturday portraying

the complexities and comforts of homes through the unique use of carved stamps.

The name LeMasurier in French, meaning “carpenter,” or “builder of homes,” literally says it all.

“These are all handcarved stamps,” Megan said. The collection of stamps were inspired by her home.

“I wanted to look at my own home, find little relics of things that reminded me of the setting of where I was from and see if anyone could relate to that,” she said.

Megan was first introduced to the art form a year ago by Hala Swearingen, a former visual arts professor at CSUF, and

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

that’s when her love of stamping evolved.

She grew up in the suburbs of Fullerton in a tract-home community.

Growing up, her life was full of “patterns,” she said.

After realizing the mediocrity of these patterns, she took it upon herself to create her own neighborhood through stamps.

Debbie LeMasurier, Megan’s mother, said her favorite piece was “Home Sweet Home,” a depiction of Megan’s childhood residence.

“It (the exhibition) is all about her childhood and her nostalgia of her growing up,” Debbie said. “I’m so proud of her.”

Megan captured her

inspiration from familiar shapes she encountered growing up in Fullerton.

“I definitely wanted to have a homey aesthetic.

I found that a lot of my stamps made a lot of patterns which reminded me of home,” she said.

Creating stamps exposes an artist to a different way of thinking, she said.

“You have to think of the negative space. I find it very therapeutic and it’s a lot of fun,” Megan said.

A standout piece is the set of Victorian homes.

The intricate details of the homes are a true work of art.

The Game Boy was a favorite of Megan and her boyfriend, animation major Ari Castleton.

“It is very nostalgic to me. She brought that stamp to me when she finished carving it and said, ‘I made a Game Boy’ and I said, ‘That’s perfect,’” Castleton said.

The Game Boy captures the whole theme of the gallery and the whole childhood experience, he said.

Megan LeMasurier said that even if the stamps are the same, depending on how much pressure is applied, the stamps will always come out different.

“When I was doing it, I found it was more fun not to make it too clean, so you get these little incidental marks,” she said.

The hardest part is designing what to carve

out because this step requires more thought, she said.

Depending on the size and the complexity, one could take about 30 to 40 minutes.

One intriguing pattern on display depicted a neighborhood with identical black and white homes, with a solitary red home standing near the bottom.

Castleton said she would bring him different stamps and ideas of patterns, and he would give her his feedback suggesting new patterns she could try out.

“It is a gallery with her name,” Castleton said. “It was her baby essentially.”

The “Home” exhibition will be on display until April 28 in the Exit Gallery.

Retail giant targets trans equality

Target goes on the high ground, rejects discriminatory bill RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan

North Carolina’s recently passed anti-LGBT bill has made headlines because of its blatant indecency toward the trans-community. As the debate on the issue grows, groups of people are stepping up against the ordinance. Target Corp. is holding its beliefs by allowing its customers and employees to use facilities congruent to the gender with which they identify.

The bathroom bill came under fire almost immediately after it passed, sparking the nationwide debate. Now, Target has stepped forward as an opposer to the ridiculous bill, and has rightfully allowed citizens to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

Target is currently being boycotted by the American Family Association (AFA), a nonprofit organization that opposes allowing transgender men and women to use the restrooms with which they identify. The AFA publicized its stance and gained nearly 400,000 signatures for an online boycott at the time of this writing.

On April 19, Target concluded its firm stance on the matter of bathroom usage.

“We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity,” Target said on its website.

Target announced that “it would allow men to use the women’s restrooms and

Target is opposing the North Carolina bathroom bill by allowing transgender individuals to use the restroom with which they identify as in their stores. The retail giant has come under fire for its decision, but believes that the move will work to make everyone feel more accepted and welcomed.

dressing rooms in their stores,” according to the AFA website. This is false; Target would allow those who identify as a female to use female restrooms and dressing rooms.

The way the AFA describes Target’s intention is misleading; saying “men” are to use “women’s restrooms” is a cheap way to grab a reader’s attention, when in reality that is not the case.

The problem with the AFA’s campaign is that it is glossing over Target’s

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

motives in order to enrage those who can’t be bothered to research what the company is actually saying.

“Target’s policy is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims,” AFA said on its website.

The AFA’s argument is invalid. Yes, it’s understandable that some people will initially be uncomfortable, but to go so far as to ban them from basic needs such as using the restroom is not tolerable.

North Carolina’s

legislation has drawn ire from all corners of the country. Steve Rudner, chair of the Board of Directors for Equality Texas, an LGBT advocacy group for the Lone Star State, criticized the ridiculousness of the latest discrimination law.

“I don’t worry about (my daughter) being attacked in a restroom by a trans woman because (a) it has never happened; and (b) trans women are the most victimized group of people I’ve ever met, and the least likely to

commit a crime of indecency in a restroom,” Rudner said.

Rudner is expressing the same ideals that Target and many others have. They know that the trans community should be treated the same way citizens treat each other. It’s about being civil.

This bill is more than about being able to go to the bathroom; it’s about being respected and recognized as another human being. The entire point of people choosing to change their gender

identity is so others will identify them correctly.

America has fallen into a harrowing dispute and one that the nation never should have had in the first place. This type of ignorance needs to be quickly dispelled, but the growing number of boycotts against Target and others paints an ugly future for America. By standing up to North Carolina, Target is paving the way for a better, more accepting environment for all citizens.

Freshman right-hander Sydney Golden allowed only one earned run in two outings, one a complete game, and the other a six-inning start during Cal State Fullerton softball’s sweep of the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine this weekend. Golden improved her record to 16-3 on the season, striking out 10 in 13 total innings of work.

Fullerton softball erupts in Hawaii Titans stay undefeated in conference play with sweep of Hawaii AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan Behind multiple solid pitching performances, Cal State Fullerton softball made light work of the University of Hawaii with a three-game sweep of the Rainbow Wahine this weekend.

Undefeated in April, the Titans were in prime position going into the series to further cement their top spot in the Big West against a secondto-last place Hawaii team.

The Rainbow Wahine were ultimately no match for the

Titans as they were outscored 16-2 in the series.

Game 1 On Friday, Fullerton opened the series with its right-handed ace, Sydney Golden, in the circle. The game started out sluggish, with both sides going scoreless through the first four innings before the Titans exploded for five runs in the fifth inning.

A string of Hawaii fielding errors put Sydney Colenzo at first and Shianne Brannan in scoring position. Then, junior outfielder Delynn Rippy stepped up to the plate and a ripped three-run homer up center field.

After a Samantha Vandiver single, senior infielder Missy Taukeiaho followed up with a

homer to give CSUF the 5-0 lead.

The Titans padded their lead with a run scored in each of the sixth and seventh innings. The Rainbow Wahine managed to get on the board with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth, but it was to no avail as CSUF cruised to the 7-1 victory.

Game 2 The Titans trounced Hawaii 7-1 again on Saturday. Rather than coming alive later in the game, the Titans put the Rainbow Wahine away early, scoring all of their runs within the first four frames.

Fullerton picked up where it left off the day before, scoring four runs in the top of the first. Vandiver led off with a

triple down the left field line and scored the first run of the game on a Missy Taukeiaho fielder’s choice.

Sarah Moore and Melissa Sechrest followed up with a pair of singles, loading the bases for the Titans. Senior outfielder Courtney Rodriguez then reached on a fielder’s choice, sending Moore home and increasing Fullerton’s lead to 3-0 with the help of a Hawaii error. The fourth and final run of the first inning came off the bat of Colenzo.

The Titans added insurance runs in the second and fourth innings. Hawaii finally got on the board in the seventh with a Keiki Carlos homer, that was too late as CSUF had all but secured the win.

Senior lefty Desiree Ybarra

tossed a complete game, allowing seven hits but striking out six en route to improving her record to 12-5.

Game 3 The final contest of the series was not as action-packed as the previous two games, but the Titans prevailed 2-0, completing the series sweep over the Rainbow Wahine.

The first run of the afternoon came when Moore blasted a solo home run in the top of the second to right field, while the second came in the fifth when Rippy hit an RBI single up the middle, bringing in Ariana Williams.

Hawaii went scoreless in the game thanks in large part to a stellar

complete-game performance by Golden who surrendered only four hits and tallied two strikeouts. The outing improved Golden’s season record to 16-3.

Fullerton (38-10 overall, 12-0 Big West) has won 13 consecutive games. In April, the Titans outscored their opponents 81-17 and have not allowed a team to score more than three runs in a game.

In hopes of continuing their incredible play, the Titans return home to host Big West Conference rival Long Beach State in a three-game series. The series opens with a doubleheader Wednesday, with the first game starting at 3 p.m. at Anderson Family Field.

Series: Solid pitching gives Titans the edge CONTINUED FROM

“(Gavin) settled himself down and got in a great groove in the second through the seventh,” Dietrich said.

“That’s just a testament to these guys working hard and buying into doing the little things right.”

Whereas only two Titan pitchers have an ERA over three, starter Kenny Oakley was the only Rebel pitcher with a sub-four ERA going into Saturday’s game.

Fullerton got to Oakley early, scoring five runs by the fourth inning, despite Pinkston’s seven-game hitting streak and five-game multiple-hit streak coming to an end.

Jerrod Bravo knocked in the sixth Titan run of the

game with his first career home run, a towering shot to left field in the eighth inning.

Game 3 The Titans found themselves in unfamiliar territory on Sunday, as the Rebels struck first for the first time in the series and took a 2-0 lead on five hits by the end of the fourth.

UNLV went on to win the game by that score.

Starter Blake Quinn gave up just one earned run but was replaced by Colton Eastman in the fifth inning. The appearance was Eastman’s first out of the bullpen.

Eastman dazzled on the mound, as he struck out 10 batters in five innings

in order to keep the UNLV lead at two. His catcher, Bravo, lit up talking about the performance.

“It was unbelievable,” Bravo said. “He had everything working for him.”

This time, the offense couldn’t back up the pitching performance as the Titans went 1-8 with runners in scoring position and left seven on base.

“Today we were hitting the ball to people,” Bravo said. “All we needed was one hit, and it would really turn around, but we couldn’t get it today. That’s baseball.”

Next, the Titans take on UCLA at Goodwin Field on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

The game will be broadcast on ESPNU.

PATRICK DO / DAILY TITAN

On Friday’s 12-4 win over UNLV, senior outfielder Josh Vargas recorded two hits on five at-bats and scored twice. On Saturday, he notched two RBIs in the Titans’ 6-0 win.

HOROSCOPE

PROVIDED BY tarot.com

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

Obstacles seem to be popping up in your path and your plans might not turn out as expected today.

Although your friends mean well, you will likely end up resenting them for telling you what to do.

Your best bet is to forgive your own shortcomings and gracefully adapt to the rhythm of the cosmos.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

Although you’re known for your creative outlook on life, something is holding you back now. You possess the energy to follow through with your plans, but may be fearful that your ideas aren’t good enough. The power of positive thinking is your friend.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

It’s important to exercise a little caution before saying yes to more than you can handle now. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint; don’t burn yourself out before you reach your destination.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Your confidence is growing by leaps and bounds and you will continue to gain strength in your own convictions day by day. But instead of rushing off to the next great thing, give yourself time over the weeks ahead to absorb your recent accomplishments.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

Domestic responsibilities weigh heavily on your shoulders these days, possibly preventing you from embarking on a new course.

Fortunately, you’re not in a hurry; you want this change of direction in your life to be built on a solid foundation.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Although you are naturally driven to achieve success, there’s an internal intrigue pulling you into the metaphysical realms now rather than the physical. Happiness doesn’t reside in possessions; it resides in the soul.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You may need to contend with an angry partner or coworker now that combative Mars is backpedaling in your 7th House of Relationships. But someone else’s negative emotions become more problematic when you don’t express your own feelings for the sake of convenience.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

It may be discouraging when people get in the way of your progress because they don’t really understand your intentions. Slow down and let them come around on their own accord. As Tolstoy wrote, “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You are motivated to establish plans for your future, but you can get so hung up in the brilliance of your ideas now that you can’t get your scheme off the ground.

Pursue your dream.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

You may grow restless with your life these days because it seems like everything is about your job now. Naturally, there’s more going on in your world but simply keeping up with all your obligations can drain your energy.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

It’s to your advantage to reconsider a budget that you thought would carry you comfortably through the rest of the year. Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have. Prosperity is a state of mind.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

The notion of getting ahead in the real world captivates your attention today. But its retrograde motion can bring about detours and delays, so avoid getting lost in self-criticism if you don’t immediately get what you want.
