Proactive Ponderings about Common Challenges

Fair Vote – Update by Shellene Van der Beke

Challenge: A timely topic that deeply affects every Canadian citizen: does the current first-past-the-post (FPTP) voting system belong in the past? Is proportional representation, or the single transferable vote (STV), the answer?

First off, what is FPTP? In a nutshell, according to Fair Vote Canada, proportional representation means that the number of seats a party gets is proportional to its share of the popular vote. So, if a party gets 30% of the popular vote, it gets about 30% of the seats in government. Here, on the left, is a graphic comparing our current, single member ridings, FPTP voting system, with what many propose to be a far superior multi-member ridings, STV system, on the right:

In 2004, after looking at electoral systems from all over the world, the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform (160 randomly chosen citizens from every part of BC) chose STV because it provided:  proportionality,  local accountability,  reduced the influence of parties, and  gave more choice to voters.

Powerful, Proactive Solutions: Learn, participate and, for goodness’ sake, vote. Extensively researched, thought-provoking websites like VoteBetter.ca, LeadNow.ca and FairVote.ca, to name a few, are so worth checking out. Via easy to use “voice your opinion” internet campaigns, everyday folk like you and I can and do have power. In the words of Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who helped jumpstart Egypt’s democratic revolution:

“The power of the people is much stronger than the people in power.”

RCMP News Release

Helpful safety tips brought to you by your local RCMP Stiffer Penalties for Distracted Driving Distracted driving contributed to the deaths of 66 people on BC roads in 2014, and seriously injured 630 more people. Distracted driving and inattention is a top contributing factor to motor vehicle crashes, along with drug or alcohol affected driving and speeding. Starting June 1, 2016, a driver found using a hand-held electronic device while driving in BC may face $543 in financial penalties for a first offence: $368 ticket and $175 for four penalty points on their driving record. That increases to $888 for a second offence, and penalties keep increasing for each offence. You do not need to be talking or texting on your device to receive a ticket, simply holding it in your hand is a violation. Your local RCMP would like to remind all drivers to focus on the road, as conditions can change in an instant. There is no message or phone call that is more important than your safety or the safety of others. If you must use your phone while you drive, use a hands-free device. In emergency situations only, you may use your phone while driving to call the police, fire department or ambulance service. Always use caution and if the call can be made after you safely pull over to the side of the road, then wait to do so.

Losing a Loved One

This month’s column is dedicated to Cookie: the bad, but super snugly, well-loved kitty, that will always have a place in our family’s hearts.

and the first one to console us when we were feeling sad. If we were sick she would lay with us for the entire day. Cookie provided countless hours of comic relief, and for almost 9 years delighted us with her antics. To us she was so much more than just a cat. She was part of the family, she made us feel loved.

When you bring an animal into your home, the last thing you think about is the day you have to say goodbye. Some of us are lucky enough to have many long years with our adored animals, and some of us suffer the loss of a furry friend way too early; sometimes to tragic accidents. No matter how the loss occurs, or how long you’ve had your companion, the pain of losing them is all the same.

If you know someone who has lost a pet and you don’t understand why their so upset, please take time to consider that their furry creature was there for them when no one else could be. That four-legged companion was there every night when they fell asleep and every morning when they woke up. We all feel the loss of and mourn for a loved one differently. Everyone needs compassion in times of suffering even if we ourselves do not understand the pain they are in.

Anyone who has ever lost a pet knows that they all affect you in different ways, and they all seem to leave a hole in your life. The hole they leave is hard to describe, it’s like the place that was filled by the daily joy of your pet is suddenly vacuumed out and an emptiness remains. They leave a hole in the home that seems to fill up with an eery quiet, an uncomfortable quiet that reminds you that even the subtle sound of paws walking across a floor can fill a home with love. At first the quiet is hard. Quiet for me is usually peaceful, but the lack of sound from a loved one no longer sharing my space l find is a painful quiet. However, as the sounds of other pets, family members and the business of life start to fill that quiet, the pain seems to lessen. The hole left by losing a four-legged family member is something people who have never experienced the loss of a pet sometimes cannot understand. All too often l hear stories of hurt pet owners, trying to find some type of compassion in their time of sorrow, from their friends, or family only to be met with disapproving looks and remarks such as “it was only dog” or “your crying over a cat?” To most people, my cat “Cookie” was only a cat. To our family, she was the first one to greet us when we got home,

To anyone out there who is suffering from the loss of a beloved pet, please remember that mourning can take time. And although it may hurt now, it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Our Healing Journeys: Many Paths

By Karen Walhout

Ngystle looks forward to contributing stories of healing, transformation and awakening to the Haida Gwaii Trader. What better place to start than with myself. “There are many paths up he mountain:” This phrase has been chiming in my mind lately as I observe my relationship with my partner grow. The more vulnerable I become, the more awareness I have of the patterns of fear and selfprotection we all embody. Science is proving that these patterns are etched in our DNA starting in our mothers’ wombs and developing all

through our childhood to make us who we are today. In an attempt to break my pattern of fear, I would like to enter into a contract with the Haida Gwaii Community. It is said that source energy is accessed through creativity. For the next month, I will spend 15 minutes a day in some creative act such as writing, drawing or playing music, and offer it to someone. You may hold me accountable! Namaste!

Karen Walhout is the Ngystle Society’s Administrator and Coordinator. She first came to Haida Gwaii in 2011 from Ontario and enjoys wild harvesting, yoga and dance. For more information about Ngystle, call Karen (Mon/Tues/Thurs/ Fri between 9-4:30) at 250-559-4114 or email ngystle@haidagwaii.net

Remember Your SCARF! You are enjoying a conversation with someone. Out of the blue, that person says something sarcastic or critical. They insist, “I’m only joking!” But it doesn’t feel funny; in fact, it feels like more of an “ouch!” You might tell yourself, “I shouldn’t be so sensitive”. But what if there was a real physiological reason for your hurt response? Research in neuroscience tells us there is. Pain we experience in our work, family and social interactions is processed in the brain in the same way as physical pain! Our brain operates on the principle of minimizing pain or threat and maximizing safety or reward. Its radar will scan our social interactions for threat and reward especially in five categories (think SCARF). These include:

Status: am I as important as others? Certainty: can I predict what the future will be

for me?

Autonomy: do I have control over what happens to me? Relatedness: are you my friend or enemy? Fairness: am I treated in the same respectful

way as others are?

This is powerful stuff. A perceived threat to one’s Status activates similar brain networks as a threat to one’s life! On the flip side – a perceived increase in Fairness activates the same reward circuitry in our brain as when we receive a cash reward!

get it. That is an attack on my Status and Fairness needs. I’ll take some breaths, and then decide how I want to handle this”. Understanding SCARF and naming our triggers can help take us out of our instinctive fight or flight mode where rational thought and problem-solving flies out the window. Remembering SCARF can also help us avoid triggering others. For example, if a workplace change needs to happen, ideally the boss will share information and invite feedback as early as possible. This can help decrease the employees’ triggers to Status, Certainty and Autonomy. Giving everyone a voice, if only to express their anxiety over the change, may help meet Relatedness and Fairness needs. This perceived reward experience can help increase team morale, collaboration, and problem-solving. Another example: if you are a micromanaging type of parent, teacher or boss, know that this can spark the Autonomy trigger – a threat. So let your child, student or staff make some decisions. Listen to their concerns, give them room to experiment and grow. That will activate their internal reward circuitry. Everyone will have different areas of SCARF sensitivity. You may not need as much Certainty (if you like going with the flow), and I may have a stronger need for Fairness (which is true; I grew up in a family of eight children!). So when things get a bit frosty, remember your SCARF! And know there is no right or wrong way to be. What we all want most is to feel that we belong and are accepted. Our brains are simply wired that way!

This article is inspired by the work of neuroscientist, David Rock, author of Your Brain at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus and Working Smarter All Day Long.

Knowing our trigger points, and those of others, can help us understand and manage our reactions. For example, I can tell myself when that criticism comes my way, “Oh, I

Building Solidarity at Both Ends of the Pipe Caleb Behn reflects on his trip to Haida Gwaii

Photo courtesy of Valine Crist Story by Pete Moore

Earlier this year, Caleb Behn, 34-year-old Eh-Cho Dene and Dunne-Za lawyer and activist, visited Haida Gwaii alongside screenings of the film Fractured Land, a 2015 documentary that he stars in. The film focuses on the damaging nature of fracking in northeastern BC, and uses Behn as a focal point as he internalizes the conflict with an environmentalist father and an oil and gas industry executive mother. Behn himself, although having graduated with a law degree, proudly respects and practices the traditions of his culture. With a story and individual that feels close to home, Haida Gwaii audiences were excited for the film’s arrival to the community. For Behn, however, the visit to the islands was much more than just a showcase of the documentary. “I’ve prioritized indigenous communities, and in particular the Haida people and Haida Gwaii because the Haida refused to take a position on LNG until the people on the other end of the pipeline, my people, made their position known,” says Behn. As Fractured Land demonstrates, the discourse around natural resource extraction is heavily contested, so such an honouring from the Haida made Behn feel as though he “had a real obligation to go to Haida Gwaii and acknowledge [it].”

Behn also came out of inspiration; with prior knowledge of the Watchmen program, he wanted to speak to some of the community members involved to learn more about the program. “There was an ethical component to my trip, but there was actually a very significant logistical side to it as well,” Behn explains. Having only heard about the program in the media and in his studies, Behn wanted to hear some firsthand accounts, speaking to members of the Council of the Haida Nation, the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program elders, and some of the hereditary leaders in Masset.

“I’ve been trying to learn from indigenous communities and how they’ve achieved their victories, and the Haida represent the high watermark of indigenous stewardship of their land.”

“I wanted to ground-truth it. I wanted to talk to people from the island and learn their experience.” With so many passionate motives to Behn’s visit, the movie nights were much more than just screenings. A major take-away for his trip were the question and answer periods that followed the film. Behn presents himself without any sort of guard or vail, no matter who he is talking to. As such, the Q&A’s were very intense. Difficult questions from audience members and forward answers from Behn made the nights stick in audiences’ memory. When Behn travels amongst different indigenous communities, he recognizes the solidarity in the

common experience. With Haida Gwaii put at risk by various oil and gas development proposals, the “before” threat that we face is an experience shared by the lands that are in the “during” and “after” phase – such as Behn’s homeland. For this reason, Behn sees the need to build, as he puts it, solidarity at both ends of the pipe – something he surely worked towards during his time on Haida Gwaii.

“WILDE” BARN SWALLOWS This summer, two very small, feathered “Woofer” Barn Swallows have come to work and live with me. They come from Central America in May, signaling warmer days on Haida Gwaii. The open cup nest they built under the eaves is made of mud, gathered one beakfull at a time. In this nest, sparsely lined with feathers, the female incubated seven eggs for two weeks. The young are out of the nest now and could be seen at first being fed by the adults in mid-air! They all work hard catching insects in flight, zig-zagging, twisting, and skimming along the rivers and roadways. So very fast and agile, they look like they are heading straight at you, only to turn at the last moment with a vit-vit-vit. A rarity in the mouth of a cat, the Barn Swallow is an amazing flyer with its long pointed wings and forked tail with white tail spots.

Resting on wires we see their blueblack backs, cinnamon fronts, and rufus throats. They have been spotted, massed together, hanging on dune grasses in September ahead of their long flight South; a Haida Gwaii version of the Reed and the Swallow from Oscar Wilde’s “The Happy Prince”.

The Plank Road From Port Clements to Tlell A unique example of the evolution of infastructure on Haida Gwaii By Pete Moore

The first woman to drive the road was Doris Richardson (pictured above). As years passed however, and traffic on the road increased, further development was need. By 1951, the wooden planks had been lifted and a gravel road had been laid. The blacktop highway (the same one that still stands today) was paved in 1967. The historic Mexican Tom trail is, for the most part, is just north of the present road.

For Haida Gwaii, the Plank Road stands as an intriguing example of urban development on the islands. Surveyors started laying out the route in 1920 and largely paralleled the old Mexican Tom Trail. The entire building time was a whopping 8 years because after the intial clearing was complete, six inch planks were laid on the wheel tracks, stretching the entire 12 mile path. This limited traffic to a gross load of 2.5 tons, and resulted in the final building cost reaching $8505.72. Driving the road was nothing short of a daring endeavour. As a one-way road, avoiding on-coming traffic was only possible via turnouts that were spread throughout the road, where one car could pull off, allowing the other to pass.

THE BLIND ASSASSIN MISSES THE MARK By T.M. Ooishi

The VOPC book club members were festive in 1930’s attire to applaud the era of “The Blind Assassin” by Margaret Atwood. This novel was a tough read for many members. Most did not finish it or hardly started it. Many were disappointed it was not a typical Atwood book and the science fiction element left a few people dumbfounded. As one member elegantly stated “it was a pain in the #%* and as depressing as hell!” The

handful of members who did finish it loved the beautiful imagery, the writing, the layers within the book and how the story stayed with you. The book club’s next book is “The Forgotten Garden” by Kate Morton and we will meet up on July 28th at 7:30pm in the Port Clements Senior Room. If you have any questions or would like to join the book club please contact Tina through email at tina. ooishi@gmail.com

Haida Gwaii

MEET NANCY HETT OF SPRUCE POINT LODGE & MORESBY MOUNTAIN POTTERY IN QUEEN CHARLOTTE Last year when people called Nancy Hett and Mary Kellie’s Spruce Point Lodge looking for accommodation, they asked “What is your place like?”, and ”Do you have a website?”. Now, they get calls from potential customers and travel agents saying they found their businesses on Love Haida Gwaii! Customers report that they love the selection of pictures and say it’s a great website. People know what they want and are ready to book. So what are they doing that’s new at Spruce Point Lodge? There are a few new breakfast features such as a breakfast parfait (yogurt, fruit and granola that are to die for) or a mini breakfast crisp right out of the oven that everyone loves. Of course it’s delivered to your room or you can eat at the picnic table while enjoying the ocean view. Revel in the sounds of gently-lapping waves and aquatic birds while enjoying a waterfront view from the expansive deck of the Spruce Point Lodge. Spruce Point Lodge is one of very few accommodations in Queen Charlotte located directly on the waterfront. Nancy, who also runs Moresby Mountain Pottery Studio, even had an email from someone in Terrace wanting to buy her pottery because they saw pictures of her work on Love Haida Gwaii. What’s new in Nancy’s studio? A selection of unique baking and serving ware that will be a hit at your next pot luck, and of course the usual mugs, bowls and tea pots. All are invited to come by the studio and have a look, or view them on Love Haida Gwaii.

Expanding Eduaction at the Edge of the World

By Pete Moore

Photo courtesy of the HGHES Since the pilot semester in 2009, the Haida Gwaii Higher Education Society (HGHES) has had over 200 students come to the islands for its unique educational experience. In addition to locals who attend, each year, dozens travel from all over Canada to take part in one of the two natural resource programs that proudly utilize Haida Gwaii’s backyard as a classroom. This influx of people every year has had significant economic benefits, especially for the southern communities as the programs are offered out of the Haida Heritage Centre, and have brought a sense of youthful vibrancy to the islands.

court cases. With student interest in these courses extremely high, it became clear that to fully explore the critical content of these issues, they should be expanded into a full semester of five courses. Given the rising discussion and action around reconciliation in Canada, a semester devoted to such seemed fitting. Not only will this grow the society’s academic calendar, but also expand the program geographically, as the semester will be offered in Masset and Old Massett.

“When the organization was founded, the idea was for [it] to be an all islands postsecondary education institution, offering programs across all the communities here on Haida Gwaii.” – Dr. Carlos Ormond, Executive Director

Moving forward, supported by the culmination of their impressive success story and ambitious growth, the HGHES has begun a major fundraising campaign. The fundraising is to support successful existing programs, but also to fund emerging new programs, namely a Reconciliation Studies semester for 2017. HGHES offers classes covering topics such as Aboriginal history, impacts of policy and legislation for Indigenous people of Canada, as well as examining current indigenous

Gwaii Trust Society has already supported the initiative with a $100,000 grant. The HGHES is still seeking further support, as they aim to keep the program affordable for eager applicants, especially locals. “We are thankful for the support Gwaii Trust Society has given us in order to continue working towards offering a new semester in Masset and Old Massett, but in order to keep our successful programs financially accessible to all potential students we need additional philanthropic support from individuals, small business, corporations, and foundations” says Dr. Ormond. As a registered charity, donations to the HGHES are eligible for tax benefits.

Bidding Farwell to

Sam & Shirley Story by Pete Moore

After 26 years of service on Haida Gwaii, Sam and Shirley are closing the doors to their corner store. The two came to Haida Gwaii in 1990, and Sam started working at an auto mechanic shop. Shortly after this, they began their own business as a half grocery store and half auto shop. Sam and Shirley’s eventually transitioned into just a grocery store, but one that became a beloved business to the entire community.

The two will certainly be missed, as was shown by the many hugs, handshakes, and smiles they received over the last few days of their business. Farewell and good luck Sam and Shirley!

Sam and Shirley expressed a bittersweetness to their departure; although they are excited to be returning to Hong Kong to join their family, they are sad to be leaving Queen Charlotte. Both of them look back at their time on the island with great fondness, and appreciate the way they the community took them in. Coming to the islands with no english, Sam reflected on learning the language through customers. He compared the town to a university, calling all his customers his professors. As one of the longest-standing business in Queen Charlotte, it’s hard to imagine the town without Sam and Shirley’s.

SKIDEGATE STUDENTS AWARDED CERTIFICATES FROM UNBC IN HAIDA LANGUAGE A remarkable achievement was celebrated last month at the Haida Heritage Centre, as 14 islanders received their certificate in First Nations Langauge Haida from UNBC. Designed to prepare graduates to teach Haida Lanuage and Culture, it was the first time this program has ever been offered in Skidegate. Instructors included fluent Haida speakers and university professors. The June 21 ceremony marked the completion of four semesters of intensive study. The program continues until Spring 2018, with students now working towards a diploma and an education certificate.

XAAYDA KIL KAAGANDA - SAVING THE HAIDA LANGUAGE By St’aay Taaw.waay (Carla Russ)

Siing.aay ‘laa (Good day!) In September 2014, I began a journey offered through UNBC, the Haida Language and Culture Certificate Program. On Aboriginal Day - June 21, 2016, after a year and a half of study - I and 13 other Jaa’adaay ‘laa isis (Good women) received our Certificate in First Nations Language-Haida. Along the way we laughed, cried, cheered, rejoiced, supported each other, sang

together, went on field trips, played Haida games and recited our very own Haida skits. Class was offered two to three nights a week from 6-9 pm through the work week. Most weekends - either Friday, Saturday and Sunday or Saturday, Sunday and Monday - we went to school from 9 am to 4 pm, with different times for different teachers. All together we worked hard and accomplished our first step.

Together we will grow and succeed in speaking in our mother tongue with the guidance of our teachers.

OUR EDUCATION GRANTS CAN HELP WITH TUITION COSTS The students in UNBC’s Haida Language & Culture Training Certificate Program received Continuing Education grants from Gwaii Trust to offset their tuition costs. Our education grants are designed to help islanders with the cost of post-secondary education,

including trades programs and online courses as well as university and college studies. Full-time students can receive up to $3,000 a year, or up to $750 per course. Funding is based on the actual cost of your course and materials. Find out more at gwaiitrust.com.

Same Pages A recent Facebook post said “We don’t have to agree on anything to be kind to one another.” Call it whatever you wish, unity, peace, community or just plain getting along…the concepts of social sustainability are, of course, far from new. Let’s not get hung up on this new fangled term but be open to the expansion of any and all ideas that yield positive results. Calm discussions and equitable projects can lead to peaceful and happy people, families, communities and nations. Whatever a person chooses to call it, it is especially worth bringing to light and applying as much as we can muster…to our personal and professional lives. Why bother with talking, learning about and applying social sustainability concepts? The simplicity of the answer is profound: if we can get along, our chances of succeeding are a hundred fold. Future generations are the ones who will truly reap the benefits. Why on earth would we want to bequeath anything else? Let’s leave our children health, happiness, security, hope, peace, nutritious food to eat and a planet to enjoy...to name only a few! OK, stepping down from the soap box now...onto news of a very cool social sustainability gathering this past month.

On Friday, June 24th, a few folks interested in discussing social sustainability (SS) concepts met with Haida elders at the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program (SHIP). Although many SHIP elders were not there as they were winding down for the season, around 14 people attended the session that was chaired by Kevin Boserio. The SS group talked about the six core values, quality of life and growth, equality, empathy, compassion and love and how they related to each of them personally. In return, and very much aligned with what the SS group focuses on, the SHIP elders shared their Haida Ethics and Values that include respect, responsibility, giving & receiving, seeking wise counsel and “The world is as sharp as the edge of a knife” which is defined as: balance is needed in our interactions with the natural world. If we aren’t careful in everything we do, we can easily reach a point of no return. Our practices and those of others must be sustainable. It was wonderful to share such aligned concepts. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a meal of the most amazing halibut chowder ever! We look forward to future, like-minded endeavors! Howa’a SHIP!

“To be able to build a stalwart character, family, business, community or planet, it is actually required to behave as if everything matters in all things.

Horoscopes for July 15th to Aug 15th, 2016 Aries (March 20-April 19) Dear Aries, you have a new job description for the upcoming weeks. It’s called creative living. Whether you undertake this in your career, in your family life or for your own personal benefit, matters not. What does matter is that you allow yourself enough quiet time to hear the message of creativity, then make it happen. Dance! Write! Paint! Hike! Whatever you choose, let it make your heart sing the song of passion. Key Words: Connect, Inspiration, Play Taurus (April 19-May 20) There may be moments coming up, dearest Taurus, when the best thing you can do for yourself is lay low. A healing is taking place deep in your soul, and it is time for you to heed this call and sometimes say no to social engagements. This may be challenging but it is for your highest good to rejuvenate yourself with alone time. Recharge your battery and choose to heal yourself now. It’s a good insurance policy for your future. Key Words: Quiet, Contemplative, Compassion Gemini (May 20-June 21) There is someone in your family or a valued friend that could use your compassionate caring right now. Focus your energy on helping others to heal, as this is an honorable priority for you right now. Not only will you receive the appreciation you deserve, but also a new passion and joy for living will be allowed to download into your soul. Let yourself soar! Key Words: Serve, Believe, Create Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have the opportunity to prove your allegiance to yourself, dear Cancer. You are typically there for everyone else but not as much for yourself. I ask you to emotionally support yourself now. Do this by feeling grounded. Walk barefoot, practice yoga, get a massage or do anything that allows you to embrace your body. Key Words: Endurance, SelfConfidence, Security Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) You are dawning on the world, dear Leo. This is your season to shine, and shine you do. This all sounds amazing and promising but I want to give you a small piece of advice: When you are shining so bright, it’s hard for others to truly see you. The tendency for them is to assume that you are always hunky dory. So if for some reason you aren’t, you will need to say so. Key Words: Passion, Power, Positivity Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) You have the ability, dear Virgo, to reflect on where you have come from and where you want to go. This little history lesson of your life thus far, will allow you to see off in the distance and determine your next steps. Feel the love you have given and the love you have received and understand that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Key Words: Goals, Aspirations, Community

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) Fishin is the mission, dear Libra. In other words, you will benefit from getting very clear about what your mission in life is and how to better attain that. Define your goals for the next several years, then make a plan on how you will achieve them. One way to manifest your dreams is to write them down. It helps you get crystal clear about them as well as uncover little tidbits that you didn’t even know were there. Key Words: Expertise, Experience, Endurance Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22 I know your tendency, dear Scorpio, is to think deeply to uncover greater meaning in life. Sometimes this can be intense, especially for those around you. In the next few weeks, I invite you to imagine what your life would look like if you decided to trust that hope springs eternal. That everything happening is meant to be without having to psychoanalyze it all. To understand that sometimes the glass actually is half full or all the way full. Come from a place of positive curiosity and see where that leads you. Key Words: Believe, Happiness, Open-minded Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) Don’t be surprised, dear Sagittarius, if you are given an opportunity to bond deeply with someone in your immediate family or a close friend. First this may take the form of a disagreement, but not necessarily. Either way, the end product can be a stronger connection then you had a month ago. Allow yourself to feel your heart opening and heed this call. Key Words: Psychology, Understanding, Caring

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You may feel torn in the upcoming weeks, dear Capricorn, between what is important for you to devote your energy to and what your family and friends need from you. There’s a fine balance there and it’s your job to determine which direction to go. Take a look at your aspirations for the future and make decisions based on those goals. Key Words: Trust, Determination, Compromise Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Now is the time, dear Aquarius, to reflect on your happiness. Specifically, what brings you joy, gives you passion and feels like it is your path to pursue? A way to discover this is to give back to others. Serve on a board, volunteer at a school or food bank. Or do anything that will take you out of your head and into your heart to help others. The answer to feeding your heart and soul lies in eliminating the dilemma of over-thinking everything. Key Words: Feel, Heal, Self-Worth .

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your word for the upcoming weeks is perfection. Not in the conventional sense of trying to do everything perfect as we all know that there is no such thing. But striving for perfection, feeling like you are attempting clarity, and sense of purpose is where it’s at for you now, dear Pisces. Try to stay focused and breathe deeply for relaxation of body and soul. Key Words: Earthy, Life Choices, Stability Sage Advisor is a professional astrologer and has been since 2007.
