GOVERNOR HOPES TO RELAX RULES BY END OF MAY
W
e, the upset and outspoken portion of the staff at Maui Memorial, would
like to deeply thank all of the first responders in their dedication to helping the community of Maui. The police, firefighters, and medics have proven their complete dedication to saving lives during this pandemic. We, as a portion of the Maui Memorial staff, are also doing everything we can to take care of the community of Maui. Understand that we are not the administrators of Maui Health/Maui Memorial/ Kaiser Permanente. We follow orders from the administrators. We have ZERO say in how the hospital is run. We do our best to save lives despite sometimes abusive and dangerous hospital policies that we often don’t agree with. Maui Memorial lacks empathetic, community focused leaders. This faulty leadership has put the community of Maui in harm’s way. Do not fear the hospital building or the incredible, hardworking staff inside Maui Memorial. Fear the faulty leadership at Maui Memorial. The hospital leaders are to blame for the crisis at Maui Memorial, not the staff. The workers of Maui Memorial truly love Maui and are here to care for every Maui family. As you can blatantly see, it is time for a leadership change at Maui Memorial. Enough is enough. It is time for truth and transparency at Maui Memorial. We thank you for staying home, social distancing, and doing what YOU have done as a community to keep Maui healthy and safe. We are sorry the hospital administrators have not. Please remember that Maui Health is Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser is therefore in charge at Maui Memorial. Think about that when you decide which health insurance you want for your family. Kaiser has hired a new fancy, mainland style communications person to tell the community of Maui some of what is happening at the hospital. Realize that the hospital administrators have no desire to share facts with the community. Some of the staff members have somewhat forcefully encouraged the administrators at the hospital to tell the community of Maui SOME truth. Listen with caution when the hospital makes statements to the community. Consider believing only what your heart and gut tell you is actually true.
Please stay safe. ALOHA Paid for by by LBPH. Lives Before Profits Hawaii, PO Box 1281, Wailuku, HI 96793.

NOT COVID-19 An unnamed 22-year-old Chinese woman has spent the last 14 years trying to discover the cause of her persistent cough, which started when she suffered a serious fit of coughing as a child, Oddity Central reported on April 22. Over the years, she has been misdiagnosed numerous times, but as she recently prepared for an unrelated surgery, the mystery was solved. Dr. Wang Jiyong at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine ordered CT scans that revealed a foreign object in her right lung that turned out to be a chicken bone fragment just over half an inch long. Doctors said she had probably inhaled it at 8 years old, when the coughing started. BRIGHT IDEAS Many hospital workers are selfisolating to keep their families safe from COVID-19 exposure, but Corpus Christi, Texas, emergency room doctor Jason Barnes, 39, is taking a novel approach: He’s moved into his kids’ treehouse in his backyard. Barnes told the Caller Times on April 20 that he’s lived in the treehouse for about three weeks. If he needs something, he’ll shout down to the kids or call the house. “[T]he WiFi reaches the treehouse, so I have my laptop and my own little command center here,” Barnes said. He uses a camping toilet with disposable bags, and he either showers at the hospital or “my oldest son will rig up a water hose. ... Luckily, my fence is pretty tall.” As for when he can re-enter the house, Barnes said, “We’re always looking at the CDC and Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision, but the fi nal determinator is the wife.” ENTREPRENEURSHIP The Washington Examiner reported on April 21 that some people appear to be spending their coronavirus stimulus checks on another kind of stimulation. The adult live model site Cams.com says it has seen a surge in traffic. “Since April 13, we’ve seen a 22 percent uptick in traffic to our livestreaming site, and tips to our models have increased by 40 percent,” said Gunner Taylor, director of strategic development for FriendFinder Networks, of which Cams.com is a part. Traffic from Washington state is up 204 percent, and it’s up 83 percent in Illinois, but it’s down in Washington, D.C., by 29 percent.

FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO MEETING At the Peace N Peas Farm in Indian Trail, North Carolina, owners Francie and Mark Dunlap have launched a new career for their 8-year-old mini donkey, Mambo, and their other horses. For $50, Mambo, Eddie, Zeus or other animals will make a 10-minute guest appearance to liven up your next videoconference, the Charlotte Observer reported. You can even give the four-legged interloper the on-screen name of a regular attendee: For instance, Zeus might become Paul,
the guy who asks too many questions. The Dunlaps also arrange for their animals Reports of My Death SIKE! Cancer patient Gladys Rodriguez Duarte, 50, was rushed to a clinic in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay, on April 11, after her blood pressure shot up, according to the Paraguay National Police. Two hours later, Dr. Heriberto Vera declared her dead and shared the news with Duarte’s family, but her daughter, Sandra, later told local media, “He assumed she was dead and...they disconnected her and passed her off to the funeral home.” The Daily Mail reported that funeral directors told investigators they were shocked to fi nd she was breathing and moving around inside the body bag at the funeral home. Duarte was immediately transferred to another hospital for observation. THE CONTINUING CRISIS Geauga County (Ohio) Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand told WJW his office was called to break up a large party of Amish late on April 18 in Huntsburg Township. “When we got there, there was a barn full of people and some of them ran,” he said. One partier was arrested for disorderly conduct, two were charged with underage drinking and another was issued a summons for violating the state’s stay-at-home order, according to the sheriff. “We won’t tolerate this,” Hildenbrand said, “and we have to keep everybody safe.” Amish people are reportedly continuing to gather in large groups, and the county health commissioner has sent a letter to Amish bishops about an increase in COVID-19 cases in that community. IGNORANCE WAS BLISS Elena Manighetti and Ryan Osborne, formerly of Manchester, England, followed their dream and have been sailing around the world on their boat since 2017. They were en route from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, where they planned to dock on a small island in mid-March, but were surprised to discover the island’s borders were closed because of a worldwide pandemic. “In February, we’d heard there was a virus in China, but...we had figured by the time we got to the Caribbean in 25 days it would all be over,” Elena told the BBC. The couple had told friends and family they didn’t want to hear any bad news, but Elena is from the hard-hit Lombardy region of Italy and has since caught up with her family. “It’s a very macabre picture at home, there are no more coffins, no more cemetery space.... My family is thankfully safe...but people we’ve known for years have died,” Elena said. The couple was eventually able to dock in Saint Vincent, and they hope to head north before hurricane season starts in June. “We’re sandwiched between the hurricane season and the virus,” Elena said.

A
s the final Saturday of April wound to a close Governor David Ige announced a sixth supplemental emergency proclamation, extending the state's COVID-19 stay-at-home order until May 31. The mandatory 14-day quarantine for visitors and residents arriving in the state and for inter-island travelers has also been extended through the end of May. Social distancing requirements and the eviction moratorium, which prevents eviction of a resident for failure to pay rent, remain in effect until May 31. The stay-at-home order requires all state residents to stay at their place of residence except for essential functions, which include work at essential businesses, shopping for groceries and medicine, exercise, food production, and more. Beaches are closed except for running, jogging, or walking on the beach; transiting through beaches to access the ocean is allowed. State trails and shore fishing are allowed, as long as groups travel with no more than two people or all group members are part of the same residence. A full list of essential and prohibited activities is available at Governor.hawaii.gov. “This was not an easy decision. I know this has been difficult for everyone. Businesses need to reopen. People want to end this self-isolation and we want to return to normal,” said Gov. Ige in an Apr. 25 statement. “But this virus is potentially deadly, especially for the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. Thanks to our residents, we are flattening the curve, saving lives, and avoiding a resurgence of this virus by not reopening prematurely.” “[M]y greatest fear is that if we move to reopen too quickly, we will see a sudden surge in new cases that would result in over-
running our healthcare system and more deaths,” Ige added. Gov. Ige's announcement came as the state has been reporting COVID-19 testing data consistent with a “flattened curve,” meaning the spread of the disease has slowed resulting in low numbers of new cases that are distributed over time. On Monday, April 27, the state reported just one new positive COVID-19 case – an employee at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Of 29,862 total individuals tested for the coronavirus by clinical and state laboratories, 609 have tested positive as of Apr. 28. So far, 16
much as possible.” As the situation surrounding the pandemic evolves, Ige said he would be in “constant discussions with the counties, the Legislature, and community leadership” to develop plans for reopening. “We will be taking a phased approach to re-opening,” he said. “We hope that more measures will be relaxed before the end of May.” The ban on public beach access is one measure that's already been loosened since its implementation earlier in April. After being in effect for about a week and stirring confusion
with one request: Allow floral deliveries for Mother's Day. “It is our hope that our residents will be able to call or go online to place orders for delivery for Mother's Day on May 10,” wrote Victorino Apr. 27. Floral deliveries can also incorporate social distancing and safety modifications, he added. “It is especially important that we allow this service during these unprecedented and uncertain times. Continuing traditions like buying flowers for our mothers helps us convey appreciation and celebrate at a time when we cannot gather together.”

people in the state have died from the virus and 505 have recovered and been released from isolation. “I am so impressed and pleased with the way our residents have stepped up for each other to help prevent a catastrophic surge of cases in our state,” said Lieutenant Governor Josh Green on Apr. 20. “We did a great job of flattening this curve, but there is a risk of additional spikes in cases if we’re not careful. We are diligently working to ensure we reopen Hawai'i in a careful, thoughtful way that keeps people healthy and safe while jumpstarting our economy as
among beachgoers and county mayors, Ige rolled back the rule to allow beach exercise like running or walking. “[M]ore coordination is necessary to avoid confusion,” Ige observed, reflecting on the messy beach ban. As part of the new supplemental emergency proclamation, the governor is requiring all counties to obtain his approval, or that of Hawai'i Emergency Management Agency director Kenneth Hara, before issuing any emergency order, rule, or proclamation. Maui Mayor Michael Victorino has already written the governor

US Supreme Court Rules Against Maui County BUT THE DISPUTE OVER LAHAINA’S INJECTION WELLS REMAINS UNRESOLVED
PHOTO COURTESY EARTHJUSTICE
W
ell, it’s finally here. After decades of polluting the Lahaina reef with treated wastewater, countless community complaints, and years of litigation, the United States Supreme Court has at last issued its opinion on the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility lawsuit filed against the County of Maui by environmental groups Hawai'i Wildlife Fund, Sierra Club Maui, Surfrider Foundation, and the West Maui Preservation Association. The decision of the highest court in the land, however, remains inconclusive. While the Court rejected Maui County’s argument of what defines a “point source” of pollution (and thus requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit) in a 6-3 decision, the justices stopped short of ruling on whether or not the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility has been operating in violation of rules, or whether the county will need a NPDES permit to operate the LWRF. (To summarize briefly, the county – with the support of the Trump Administration – argued that because the effluent is injected into wells which leak to the groundwater that seeps out in the ocean, they do not need the NPDES permit since the discharges are not direct from the injection wells into a navigable body of water. Environmental groups represented by Earthjustice argued that the county needs the permit because the LWRF pollutants are traceable and emerge in the ocean, the injection wells at the LWRF are causing damage to the ocean environment at Kahekili, and that the definition of “point source” offered by the county would create a loophole for polluters to avoid compliance with the Clean Water Act.) Instead, the Court produced a new test for lower courts to apply when ruling whether a source of pollutants needs an NPDES permit. “The question presented here is whether the [Clean Water] Act ‘requires a permit when pollutants originate from a point source but are conveyed to navigable waters by a nonpoint source,’ here, ‘groundwater,’” summarized Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer in writing the opinion of the Court. “We hold that the statute requires a permit when there is a direct
Earthjustice attorney David Henkin at the US Supreme Court
discharge from a point source into navigable waters or when there is the functional equivalent of a direct discharge.” Say what now? “Functional equivalent of a direct discharge?” “That is,” explained Breyer, “when a point source directly deposits pollutants into navigable waters, or when the discharge reaches the same result through roughly similar means. Time and distance are obviously important.” He gave examples. “Where a pipe ends a few feet from navigable waters and the pipe emits pollutants that travel those few feet through groundwater (or over the beach), the permitting requirement clearly applies,” he wrote. “If the pipe ends 50 miles from navigable waters and the pipe emits pollutants that travel with groundwater, mix with much other material, and end up in navigable waters only many years later, the permitting requirements likely do not apply.” In the eyes of the Court, the “functional equivalent of a direct discharge” test is a middle ground between the extremes of the county’s argument and the Ninth Circuit Court decision which applied a broader “fairly traceable” test to determine whether a source of pollutants is a point source. Where the County’s definition would create a “large and obvious loophole” allowing a polluter
to “simply move the pipe back, perhaps only a few yards, so that the pollution must travel through at least some groundwater before reaching the sea,” the Court also had issue with the Ninth Circuit’s vague “fairly traceable” test, since “Virtually all water, polluted or not, eventually makes its way to navigable water…. Given the power of modern science, the Ninth Circuit’s limitation, ‘fairly traceable,’ may well allow EPA to assert permitting authority over the release of pollutants that reach navigable waters many years after their release (say, from a well or pipe or compost heap) and in highly diluted forms.” The Court recognized that a “functional equivalent” test “may not be the easiest to administer.” “The difficulty with this approach, we recognize, is that it does not, on its own, clearly explain how to deal with middle instances,” Breyer wrote. “But there are too many potentially relevant factors applicable to factually different cases for this Court now to use more specific language.” The Supreme Court vacated the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision and left the specifics of the LWRF case to be worked out by lower courts using the guidance devised by the justices. The murky decision made space for everyone to take a victory lap. “This ruling is a step toward the clarity we have advocated for,” said Mayor Michael Victorino,
even though the Court rejected the county’s argument. Councilmember Kelly King, who opposed taking the case to the Supreme Court and warned of potential negative consequences of letting a conservative Supreme Court rule on the Clean Water Act, said, “Had the Mayor signed the settlement agreement, the County could have saved millions in court and attorney fees; however, the decision is now an extra nationwide protection against water pollution.” “This decision implicates all of the County’s injection wells and so the solution must be county-wide. Together we can do it.” said WMPA attorney Lance D. Collins. In the end, though, Earthjustice attorney David Henkin, who argued the case in front of the Court, remained focused on finally reaching a resolution that works for the environment. “The Ninth Circuit needs to make a new decision when we send the case back to them, which should be in about a month’s time,” Henkin told me. “The mayor is technically correct, that the Supreme Court did not answer the question of whether the County needs a permit. The Supreme Court told the lower courts to go back and decide that again. “That said, I really don’t think anyone could say with a straight face that the County is not going to be ordered to get a permit.” When looking at the Court’s “functional equivalent” criteria of “time and distance,” Henkin noted the close proximity of LWRF to the beach and studies showing LWRF effluent takes about two months to reach the ocean. “We don’t expect the lower courts are gonna have any difficulty finding a violation,” he told me. “It’s really an easy solution,” said Henkin, when asked how he thinks the County could do the right thing. “[The County] needs to build the infrastructure and start reusing the treated wastewater, put it to good use, keep it off the reef. For any future use or continued use of the injection wells, they need to have a permit that tells them what they can or cannot do….but it’s far better to keep the stuff out of the injection wells in the first place.” ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news APRIL 30, 2020

Revisit reggae-legend Jimmy Cliff's timeless performance
Big Top Pee-Wee The Harder They Come ★★★★★ Rated R/120 Min. rowing up on Maui, there was no escaping the rhythmic pull and verbal richness of the music of Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. The latter is my favorite reggae artist, but that’s like saying The Beatles are better than The Rolling Stones, isn’t it? There is a distinction, however, that gives Cliff the edge over Marley, and that’s The Harder They Come. If you only know the music, you don’t know the whole story. In 1972, a white Jamaican playwright named Perry Henzell wrote and directed the first ever motion picture made in Jamaica. Based on the life of 1940s gangster Ivanhoe Martin, The Harder They Come is set in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1970s, with Cliff playing him as a singer and drug dealer (the real Martin was neither) who struggles to build a music career. Although Martin is a virtuoso singer, the local record executives abuse their clients and rob them of proper payment. Martin becomes a criminal and goes on the run while the local authorities pursue him. Everyone involved with this film was making their debut, resulting in a scrappy, sometimes meandering, but always gritty, authentic, and rewarding work of independent cinema. Henzell shows us the tough side of Jamaica, filmed with documentary-like vividness, with visible poverty and crime – not the picture postcard version for the tourists. The violence is rough, even shocking at times, and the story doesn’t go where you expect it to. Unless you’re from Kingston, I recommend the use of subtitles, as the accents and Caribbean slang are thick. To state the obvious, the music is sensational and used not only as performance pieces (we see Martin recording the iconic tracks in the studio) but as storytelling tools. Anyone who loves Reggae music knows all the lyrics to the title song, the gorgeous “Sitting in Limbo,” and “Many Rivers to Cross.” On the other hand, you won’t see a more glorious sight than Cliff, smiling giddily, as he takes a ride in a stolen car while “You Can Get It if You Really Want” plays on the soundtrack. A bold touch is how Martin’s character becomes gradually less sympathetic as the story progresses. Henzell’s film can be compared to Prince’s Purple Rain and Eminem’s 8 Mile, in that they’re edgy music dramas about an artist struggling for the recognition and break he deserves. Unlike those movies, The Harder They Come traces Martin’s journey from a Kingston youth who cheers on the bad guy at the local cinema, to actually becoming the villain of his own movie. Henzell’s film was a homegrown success in
G
Jamaica (he joked that everyone who initially saw the movie was in the movie) and had a slow start in Europe. It initially bombed in the US, as Roger Corman picked it up and distributed it through his New World label as a Blaxploitation title, along the lines of Shaft and Superfly. While a companion piece to those films in some ways (certainly as a depiction of Black pride and empowerment), it’s nothing like those movies. Along with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Henzell’s film became a midnight movie smash, connected with the counterculture, and brought a widespread awareness of reggae music. Today, Cliff is 72-years-young, was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and continues to perform. His take on “I Can See Clearly Now” (from the Cool Runnings soundtrack) connected him to a young audience and has only added to his legendary status. Watching Cliff here, at age 24 and before a highly accomplished career, is to see an artist of great charisma and vitality in his element. At one point, Martin declares (to his co-star but mostly to us) “Didn’t I tell you I was gonna be famous one day?” Henzell’s film is a time capsule but doesn’t feel dated. It portrays the gap between the wealthy and the poor, the struggles everyone must make to realize their dreams, and how moral compromise can lead to our undoing. The Harder They Come remains a breakthrough in many ways and a thrilling, important work that introduced the world to the music that provides the soundtrack to our lives. (On Kanopy) A Toe-tapping Documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, Morgan Neville’s illuminating documentary from 2013, gives voice to the background singers from some of music’s most indelible hits. We meet various performers and hear their stories of what it’s like providing vocal texture for hits by the likes of Bob Dylan. My favorite interview subject is Darlene Love (Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Mrs. Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon movies), who has a surprising take on the controversial lyrics in Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side.” For music lovers, this is a must. (On Netflix) A Cult Classic: Confession time: My introduction to music legend and Maui’s own Kris Kristofferson wasn’t “Me and Bobby McGee” or A Star is Born or even Heaven’s Gate. No, the first time I ever encountered Kristofferson’s work was in Big Top Pee-Wee, where he played Mace Montana, the circus ringmaster with a wife (named Midge) who is so small, he carries her in his pocket. This sequel to Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure isn’t a comic masterpiece like its predecessor, but, if you’re a fan of the genius of Paul Reubens and his surreal brand of comedy, it’s charming and wacky in all the right ways. It has the longest kissing scene in film history (a hysterical bit), and yes, that’s Benicio Del Toro in his film debut, playing Duke, the Dog-Faced Boy. (On Hulu) A Final Note: For those of you wondering what Kanopy is, nothing but good news: It’s a free streaming service for anyone with a Hawai'i State Public Library System card. They’ve got hundreds of choices, ranging from comedies, westerns, documentaries and horror films. They’ve got Best Picture winner Moonlight, art house hits like The Farewell and Midsommar, classics like The Conversation, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, and even the surf cinema essential, The Endless Summer.

by Rob Brezsny TAURUS (APR. 20-MAY 20) Is there an area of your life where you would like a do-over? A chance to cancel the past and erase lingering messiness and clear a path for whoknows-what new possibility? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to prepare – not to actually take the leap, but rather make yourself ready for the leap. You will have God and fate and warm fuzzy vibes on your side as you dare to dream and scheme about a fresh start. Any mistakes you committed once upon a time could become irrelevant as you fantasize practically about a future breakthrough. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN. 20) In 1855, Gemini-born Walt Whitman published his book of poetry Leaves of Grass. A literary critic named Rufus Wilmot Griswold did not approve. In a review, he derided the work that would eventually be regarded as one of America’s literary masterpieces. “It is impossible to imagine how any man’s fancy could have conceived such a mass of stupid filth,” Griswold wrote, adding that Whitman had a “degrading, beastly sensuality” driven by “the vilest imaginings.” Whitman’s crafty Gemini intelligence responded ingeniously to the criticism. In the next edition of Leaves of Grass, the author printed Griswold’s full review. It helped sell even more books! I invite you to consider comparable twists and tricks.

CANCER (JUN. 21-JUL. 22) In your efforts to develop a vibrant community and foster a vital network of connections, you have an advantage. Your emotionally rich, nurturing spirit instills trust in people. They’re drawn to you because they sense you will treat them with care and sensitivity. On the other hand, these fine attributes of yours may sometimes cause problems. Extra-needy, manipulative folks may interpret your softness as weakness. They might try to exploit your kindness to take advantage of you. So the challenge for you is to be your generous, welcoming self without allowing anyone to violate your boundaries or rip you off. Everything I just said will be helpful to meditate on in the coming weeks, as you reinvent yourself for the future time when the coronavirus crisis will have lost much of its power to disrupt our lives. LEO (JUL. 23-AUG. 22) Now is an excellent time to take inventory of your integrity. You’re likely to get crucial insights if you evaluate the state of your ethics, your authenticity, and your compassion. Is it time to boost your commitment to a noble cause that transcends your narrow self-interest? Are there ways you’ve been less than fully fair and honest in your dealings with people? Is it possible you have sometimes failed to give your best? I’m not saying that you are guilty of any of those sins. But most of us are indeed guilty of them, at least now and then. And if you are, Leo, now is your special time to check in with yourself – and make any necessary adjustments and corrections. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEP. 22) I predict that you will have more flying dreams than usual in the coming weeks – as well as more dreams in which you’re traveling around the world in the company of rebel angels and dreams in which you’re leading revolutionary uprisings of oppressed people against tyrannical overlords and dreams of enjoying eight-course gourmet feasts with sexy geniuses in the year 2022. You may also, even while not asleep, well up with outlandish fantasies and exotic desires. I don’t regard any of these likelihoods as problematical. In fact, I applaud them and encourage them. They’re healthy for you! Bonus: All the wild action transpiring in your psyche may prompt you to generate good ideas about fun adventures you could embark on once the coronavirus crisis has ebbed. LIBRA (SEP. 23-OCT. 22) It’s time to work your way below the surface level of things, Libra; to dig and dive into the lower reaches where the mysteries are darker and richer; to marshal your courage as you go in quest of the rest of the story. Are you willing to suspend some of your assumptions about the way things work so as to become fully alert for hidden agendas and dormant potentials? Here’s a piece of advice: Your fine analytical intelligence won’t be enough
Free Will Astrology to guide you through this enigmatic terrain. If you hope to get face to face with the core source, you’ll have to call on your deeper intuition and nonrational hunches. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) When was the last time you researched the intricacies of what you don’t like and don’t desire and don’t want to become? Now is a favorable time to take a thorough inventory. You’ll generate good fortune for yourself by naming the following truths: 1. goals and dreams that are distractions from your primary mission; 2. attitudes and approaches that aren’t suitable for your temperament and that don’t contribute to your maximum health; 3. people and influences that are not in alignment with your highest good. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky believed that the cleverest people are those who regularly call themselves fools. In other words, they feel humble amusement as they acknowledge their failings and ignorance – thereby paving the way for creative growth. They steadily renew their commitment to avoid being know-it-alls, celebrating the curiosity that such blessed innocence enables them to nurture. They give themselves permission to ask dumb questions! Now is a favorable time for you to employ these strategies. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) What wonderful improvements and beautiful influences would you love to be basking in by May 1, 2021? What masterpieces would you love to have as key elements of your life by then? I invite you to have fun brainstorming about these possibilities in the next two weeks. If an exciting idea bubbles up into your awareness, formulate a plan that outlines the details you’ll need to put in place so as to bring it to fruition when the time is right. I hereby authorize you to describe yourself with these terms: begetter; originator; maker; designer; founder; producer; framer; generator. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) If I asked you to hug and kiss yourself regularly, would you think I was being too cute? If I encouraged you to gaze into a mirror once a day and tell yourself how beautiful and interesting you are, would you say, “That’s too woo-woo for me.” I hope you will respond more favorably than that, Aquarius. In fact, I will be praying for you to ascend to new heights of self-love between now and May 25. I will be rooting for you to be unabashed as you treat yourself with more compassionate tenderness than you have ever dared to before. And I do mean EVER! PISCES (FEB. 19-MAR. 20) In the coming weeks, I’d love to see you get excited about refining and upgrading the ways you communicate. I don’t mean to imply that you’re a poor communicator now; it’s just that you’re in a phase when you’re especially empowered to enhance the clarity and candor with which you express yourself. You’ll have an uncanny knack for knowing the right thing to say at the right moment. You’ll generate blessings for yourself as you finetune your listening skills. Much of this may have to happen online and over the phone, of course. But you can still accomplish a lot! ARIES (MAR. 21-APR. 19) I always hesitate to advise Aries people to slow down, be more deliberate, and pay closer attention to boring details. The Rams to whom I provide such counsel may be rebelliously annoyed with me – so much so that they move even faster, and with less attention to the details. Nevertheless, I’ll risk offering you this advisory right now. Here’s my reasoning, which I hope will make the prospect more appealing: If you commit to a phase in which you temporarily invoke more prudence, discretion, and watchfulness than usual, it will ultimately reward you with a specific opportunity to make rapid progress.
