Smart Growth Since an urban growth boundary sets the stage for land use planning for many years, to ensure that a comprehensive land use plan is developed, the Sonoma Valley Housing Group (SVHG) calls for a two-year extension of the exact same UGB and UGB language and a concomitant interrelated discussion of the UGB and the general plan.
We support an open-minded UGB process that starts with reviewing old and possible new UGB provisions and context and builds from there. We ask for a comprehensive and objective public conversation under the auspices of the city planning department and planning commission, where pros and cons can be vetted in a fair analysis of alternatives. Particular attention needs to be paid to how UGB alternatives will affect housing affordability, and how each alternative will

Off the Rails Considering the total mess that has resulted from the construction of the SMART train rails in downtown San Rafael, I hope this will be the proverbial last straw with local commuters. This nearly useless system is too expensive to ride and has already wasted millions that could have been spent widening 101. What use is a train which does not go to SF or the East Bay? The bifurcation of the San Rafael bus transit center has resulted in confusion, missed connections and construction, and sometimes has pedestrians literally walking into the road to avoid it. I’d like to encourage everyone to boycott the rail. Let’s make this fail just as bad as it possibly can.
TONY BUENO
San Rafael
I just took my first SMART train ride from the Airport station to San Rafael and back. Pleasant ride. Friendly and forthright employees. Here are some tips. You don't need a ticket. Employees are forbidden to ask for same. Know your license plate number. They charge you $5 for a phone call to get a $2.35 parking pass. Bring your high-tech 6th grader to work the ticket machine which if you are lucky includes downloading an app while you're standing there. Don't plan on sitting at one of the tables for four. The tables are all occupied by single dudes with earphones/ backpacks/working their phones and employees are not allowed to ask them to double-up so larger parties have a place to sit. Lastly, the pleasant employee told me with a smile and a wink when I ask about riders with no tickets. He said they operate on the honor system. And not very SMART wants more taxpayers money to fund this free ride? No thanks.

Deplorable Dems Why are Sacramento lawmakers so afraid of Donald Trump? BY TOM GOGOLA
C
alifornia’s attempt to keep Donald Trump off the state presidential ballot in 2020 is as misguided as it is cowardly.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill recently that would require any candidate for president to release their federal tax returns as a condition of being on the state ballot for president. The bill is squarely targeted at the Great Tweeter, President Donald Trump. Trump has infamously and steadfastly refused to release his returns, bucking more than 40 years of tradition that’s seen presidents back to Nixon release their IRS returns for public scrutiny. California’s trying to enshrine a federal tradition into state law to deny Trump a place on the California ticket in 2020. That’s a terrible idea. Regardless of one’s views on Trump, he’s under no legal obligation to release his tax returns. Any successful attempt to force him to do so could provide a precedent for other states when confronted with candidates who aren’t to the general liking of the public there. In short, it’s voter suppression swaddled in the rhetoric of transparency. In targeting a candidate, the proposed law is basically a broadstroke attempt to deny people a choice that, like it or not, they have every right to make. Trump already made great hay out of his conjecture that he would have won California in 2016 were it not for millions of votes cast by immigrants. Are state leaders actually worried that if Trump’s on the ballot, he might take California in 2020? That seems unlikely. The state overwhelmingly supported the Democrat candidate in 2016. So why not just let a statewide trouncing of Trump commence, unimpeded by efforts to keep him off the ballot simply because he’s a racist pig? The state’s being sued over the bill by California Republicans who see it for what it is: a flagrant attempt to suppress the vote of deplorables. Good for them. It’s a dumb law. As with the impeachment imbroglio in Congress, the California bill is premised less on demonstrable crimes and misdemeanors (though those are piling up) and more on a sense of rolling revulsion that this clown got elected in the first place. In passing its candidatesuppression law, California’s one-party regime has shown what unchecked power can bring with it, and in doing so, violated the first rule when it comes to confronting a bully: Don’t make a victim of him.

Paper THE
TIMBER TROUBLE PG&E’s tree pruning policies have come under fire from Angwin resident
Kellie Anderson, pictured, and state regulators.
Out on a Limb
Is the post-wildfire vegetation-removal “gold rush” creating more problems than it’s resolving? BY TOM GOGOLA
A
ngwin’s Kellie Anderson had been battling the ever-expanding vines of Napa County for years when the 2017 wildfires struck. Now the former county agricultural biologist has a new, but familiar foe in her nearby beloved forests of ponderosa pine and ephemeral streams: PG&E.
Anderson’s been raising an alarm over what she says is the utility’s over-zealous post-fire program of vegetation removal around power lines. “My concern is that the tree-clearing seems incredibly aggressive,” she says. Trees that have been pruned, she says, are left standing “in such a damaged state that they’re likely to fall over and die.” The investor-owned utility, through its go-to contractor,
Davey Tree, has hired dozens of out-of-state tree companies to come to the North Bay and trim vegetation around its power lines. The utility’s lack of vegetation removal was held to be the culprit in most of the mega-wildfire activity that’s occurred in California over the past couple of years. Anderson says they’re overdoing it, at least in Angwin, and that PG&E is creating all
sorts of unresolved issues in the aftermath of its pruning: What happens to trees that she says have been pruned to death? As its contractors clear canopies and exposes shaded forest floor to the sun is PG&E creating a greater risk for future wildfires? “I’ve spent my life up here working on and looking at the forest,” says Anderson. “We are seeing trees that are left next to the power lines clearly die very quickly.” In clearing around the power lines, the tree removal firms, she says, have left the remaining trees exposed and vulnerable, as she describes “swaths of clearing around the power lines that leaves trees around the sides.” Those trees, she says, are doomed. The contractors, she says, have created a 50-foot wide clearing down to dirt, using excavators to remove downed trees. Anderson’s especially concerned about recent vegetation removal in and around Conn Creek, an ephemeral waterway that runs through Angwin that’s dry during much of the year. Despite what she says are ample warnings to the workers—blue flagging on trees indicate a watercourse—the contractors rolled through here with their diesel-powered tractors. It’s a seasonal creek, but that shouldn’t give subcontractors the green light to run their equipment over the dry bed. She charges that the utility’s subcontractors “savagely logged a power line” that goes to a few houses. In doing so, they created potential future erosion-control problems, she says. Anderson also raised her concerns about Conn Creek with the state’s Fish and Wildlife division but didn’t get any satisfaction. “They thought the damage to the creek channel was not extensive enough to go after it,” she says. Had they written it up as a violation, the county district attorney would have been in a position to enforce it and, she says, save the creek from further damage. There’s a denuded hillside nearby that she’s worried about. “With
unresolved regulatory disconnect when it comes to inspections of agriculture-related vehicles or their passengers. “When people want to launch a boat in a body of water here, you have to get an Asian zebra mussel sticker,” she notes. “Why do we let logging trucks from other states come here without any verification that they’ve been inspected for pests?” Following the 2017 wildfires, Anderson describes the scene in Napa as somewhere between the Grapes of Wrath and the California Gold Rush. She says she’s seen firsthand how, in an effort to get its vegetation-clearance up to par, PG&E has poorly managed the subcontractors that are brought and deployed by the company’s go-to tree removal firm, Davey Tree. “We know that the standards that are employed by these subcontractors from across the country varies wildly,” she observes. When it comes to the power-line clearing, she claims that there’s “no standard width, no standard practice for cleanliness of these sites once they’re done.” It’s up to the residents, she says, to curtail any over-zealous pruning. “If somebody says, ‘I don’t want that,’ they’ll get the minimum,” she says. “They are responsive if you are there.” But if you’re a vineyard owner, she notes, “they’re just coming through, and people are not looking out for the big D9 bulldozers that are pushing brush into piles.” The upshot for Anderson is PG&E is doing more harm than good in Angwin. “This is reducing PG&E’s liability but to turn around and say, ‘this is making your community safer, firewise,’ we just don’t believe it.” PG&E defends its practices. “PG&E is taking steps every day to improve the safety and reliability of our electric system, which serves nearly 16 million people in Northern and Central California,” says North Bay PG&E spokesperson Deanne Contreras. “This includes working together with our customers and communities to manage ) 10

coming rains, it will erode into the creek channel with debris, mud, silt and is highly altered.” With all this post-wildfire activity swirling around her, Anderson has contacted PG&E with a few asks: Please remove downed trees without driving heavy equipment through the creek. Stay off the steep slopes. Minimize soil disturbances to protect the watershed and remaining tree canopy. Karen Weiss is a senior environmental supervisor with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and is responsible for assessing habitat conservation in the North Bay counties. She says a warden from the agency’s enforcement division visited the Conn Creek following Anderson’s complaint and that PG&E’s subcontractors did not have the proper permit to work in the creek-bed, nor had they notified Fish and Wildlife, as required. Moving forward, says Weiss, PG&E would need to provide a notification that they’d be working in a creek bed. “When they do any work within the creek or through the creek, on at a minimum they have to contact us. PG&E is on notice about it. We have an ongoing relationship with them about ongoing vegetation removal.” Anderson sketches a postwildfire scene in Angwin and parts of Napa where what’s being called a “gold rush” is apparently underway. There are trucks everywhere and a seemingly endless number of trees in need of pruning. She’s counted some two-dozen out-of-state license plates, from Arkansas to Kansas, and ticks off the array of heavy equipment that’s arrived on scene—grapple trucks, bucket trucks, skiploaders, bobcats and burly excavators. All this equipment, which arrived on the heels of state and federal emergency declarations, has her further concerned about the potential for out-of-state invaders such as gypsy moths coming in with the trucks and staying. The emergency declaration, she says, has created a bizarre and

vegetation that is located near power lines and could pose a safety concern.” PG&E’s service area includes more than 100 million trees with the potential to grow or fall into overhead power lines, she says. Every year, PG&E inspects almost 100,000 miles of overhead electric power lines, she says. The utility has expanded its practices since the fires, she says. “This includes addressing vegetation that poses a higher potential for wildfire risk in high fire-threat areas (like Conn Creek). This work is one of many additional precautionary measures implemented following the 2017 and 2018 wildfires as part of our comprehensive Community Wildfire Safety Program.” The enhanced management program, she says, includes “removing hazardous vegetation such as dead or dying trees that pose a potential risk to the lines, trimming vegetation around lower voltage secondary lines to
prevent damage, when needed, and evaluating the condition of trees that may need to be addressed if they are tall enough to strike the lines.” In response to Anderson’s charge that they’re trimming far too much from healthy trees, Contreras notes that while the utility has always removed dead branches overhanging the lines as required by law, now they’re removing branches “before they die or break off and fall into the lines.” All their tree-trimmers under contract, she says, are required to follow California OSHA regulations and other safety measure “to perform line clearance work safely near high-voltage lines.” She says there’s about 3,500 contractors and subcontractors currently at work doing vegetation removal around the state. “If there is a concern, we’ll address it. This important safety work is to help keep customers and their neighborhoods safe.”

AHOY! The cast of SF Mime Troupe present a new outdoor theater experience in Sonoma County this fall.

TREASURE TROVE S.F. Mime Troupe sails into North Bay with new show BY DAVID TEMPLETON
A
piratical new traveling show from an iconic political theater company sails into the North Bay this season for a pair of provocative performances in public parks, spotlighting the “free” in freebooter while putting the “buck” back in buccaneer. “It’s definitely a pirate show, with sword fights and sea shanties and everything,” explains Daniel Salvio, the lyricist for Treasure Island, the touring musical by the legendary, Tony-Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe. Now celebrating its 60th year of politically-minded free theater, the troupe—never actually a mime company, but more of a satirical, musical comic ensemble— takes the title of its new show from the actual Treasure Island in San
Francisco Bay. The play, written by Michael Gene Sullivan and directed by Wilma Bonet, will be presented on Sunday, Aug. 25, at the Plaza in Cotati, and Thursday, Sept. 5, at the Mill Valley Community Center. “In addition to having pirates in it,” Salvio allows, “the show is actually about modern-day developers and corporate greed, and how cities consistently force the poor and people of color into the worst, most dangerous places to live.” The story follows Jill Hawkins, a city planner with big dreams, as she falls in with a band of sea-dog developers who’ve set their sights on turning Treasure Island into condos for rich people. And yes, there’s a mysterious one-legged developer with a secret agenda. Oh, and they all sing, which is where Salvio—son of the famed free-speech activist Mario Salvio—comes in.
“The songs,” he says, “with music by Michael Bello, do recognizably call to mind established ideas of what pirate music might sound like, but they also create a newer, more modern take on what pirate songs are. Or should I say, Arrrrr?” As the scion of politically astute activists, Salvio, 39, definitely grew up with some awareness of the San Francisco Mime Troupe. “My parents absolutely took me to Mime Troupe shows,” he recalls, though he never imagined he’d become a creative partner of the troupe until about 12 years ago, when it tapped him to fill in for the keyboardist for a couple of shows during the tour of a musical called Godfellas. The following year, he played the entire summer tour, but did not work with the Mime Troupe again for over a decade.
“Then, in 2014, I started performing with the Mime Troupe again, and have done it every summer since,” Salvio says. “But this marks my first year on the writing team, as well as touring with the troupe and performing in the band.” According to Salvio, the Mime Troupe performs two kinds of shows—the “call to action” shows and the “sharing information” shows, which attempt to explain something the audience may not know about. “Treasure Island,” he says, “is more along those lines, the latter type of show. And it’s a total blast.” ‘Treasure Island’ is performed on Sunday, Aug. 25, at La Plaza Park, Old Redwood Hwy and West Sierra Ave., Cotati. 2pm; and Thursday, Sept. 5, at Mill Valley Community Center, 180 Camino Alto, Mill Valley. 7pm. All shows are free with a $20 suggested donation. Sfmt.org.

fter their success with A Chorus Line, the Transcendence Theatre Company returns to form with Those Dancin’ Feet, an original musical revue running now in the winery ruins in Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen. Transcendence built its reputation on a series of productions featuring top Broadway and national touring company talent. Past shows featured themes explored through a series of stand-alone vignettes featuring song or dance. In this production, director/ choreographer Roy Lightner
overlays the music and dance with a narrative. It’s a simple narrative—the journey of life as experienced by three couples as they fall in (or out) of love. The twist in the narrative presentation is that each couple is represented by four performers. The couples are distinguished by costume color with one dressed in shades of red, another in blue and the third in green. One pair of performers handles the singing, the other handles the dancing. Each pair of couples occupies the stage at the same time, with the singing pair usually upstage and the dancing pair downstage. While not as confusing as it sounds, it does force the audience to split its focus which, in my case, led me to miss an important story point. The songs and music used to support the narrative are the usual mix of Broadway standards and pop hits. Numbers from Rent, West Side Story and Hello, Dolly! are blended with songs by Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Bonnie Raitt, Whitney Houston and others. Most choices worked well, but I’ve yet to figure out what the show’s most emotionally evocative number—a terrific ensemble presentation of Kelly Clarkson’s “Broken and Beautiful”— had to do with anything. Dancing styles range from the acrobatic to the balletic to the erotic, and there’s a delightful tap-dancing sequence set to “DeLovely’ from Anything Goes. It was good to see some diversity represented within the couples, though all adhere to a heteronormative standard. Heterosexuals have never had a lock on love, and with marriage equality the law of the land since 2015, it would have been nice to see a moreencompassing representation of modern romance. Those Dancin’ Feet shows that Transcendence is willing to take chances and, while they may not all succeed, they should continue to do so. It’s a terrifically entertaining evening of song and dance. Rating (out of 5): HHHH ‘Those Dancin’ Feet' runs Friday–Sunday through August 25 in Jack London State Historic Park. 2400 London Ranch Road, Glen Ellen. Park opens at 5pm, show starts at 7:30pm. $49–$149. 877.424.1414. transcendencetheatre.org

NAME THAT MOVIE Eddie Murphy stars as Dolemite in Netflix’s upcoming ‘Dolemite is My Name’
Season of Cinema Find out Fall’s most-anticipated films BY RICHARD VON BUSACK
A
really good algorithm would have the power to predict nostalgia cycles so that film producers would know what year would be popular with an audience in the near future and plan accordingly. We’re in a deep ‘70s/’80s cycle now and the fall season includes nostalgia for the funk of Harlem and the squalor of Gotham. The studly Rudy Ray Moore (1927-2008) was an avatar of rap: “I was through with it before they knew what to do with it!’” The rhymester Moore was also the creator of the indomitable and cross-platforming Dolemite, in several outlandishly euphoric LPs and blacksploitation movies. The upcoming Dolemite is My Name, with Eddie Murphy as Moore (September, Netflix) looks like a hit. A far more menacing entertainer turns up in Joker (Oct. 4). Expect some sympathy for a comic book devil, with Joaquin Phoenix starring as just one more mama’s boy who gets the mark of Gotham City branded into him. The previews show an
urban hellhole as bad as New York at its worst in the ‘70s. From The Hangover 3, we learned that Joker director Todd Phillips’ idea of a joke is a giraffe getting decapitated, so there should be authentic darkness in this story of a man who laughs last. Similarly, there’ll be more merry pranks from that jolly Pennywise the Dancing Clown (It, Chapter 2; Sept. 5). On the roster of horrorclowns, the one and only Adolph Hitler tops the list. Jojo Rabbit is the story of a little Nazi boy upset to learn that his mom is hiding a Jewish girl in the attic; that’s when he turns to advice from his imaginary pal Der Fuhrer (played by Taika Waititi, who directs). More Stephen King horror in Doctor Sleep (Nov 8), the sequel to 1980’s The Shining; you don’t get over the kind of things Danny Torrance saw at the Overlook Hotel easily. Ad Astra (Sept. 20) and Lucy in the Sky (Oct. 4) have thematic similarities: catastrophic space journeys that have left more questions than answers. Brad Pitt heads to Neptune to find out what happened to his astronaut father. Alienated by her space travels, the title’s Lucy (Natalie Portman) has serious trouble adjusting to earth.

Music
Mississippi native taking his cracker-jack backing band, the Fabulous Superlatives, to the storied Capitol Records recording studio in Los Angeles to record a good chunk of the record. It’s a project that Stuart knew he needed to create on the Left Coast. “Everything that came out of California captivated my kid-mind in Mississippi,” says Stuart. “[Way Out West] started with a song called ‘Mexico’ and the idea was that I wanted to capture a mood that was cinematic and reflected the space you experience out in the Mojave Desert. It would reflect that kind of openness with a little bit of a psychedelic touch to it. I also knew that I’d have a better shot of getting that kind of cinematic sound that I was looking for in California.” With Way Out West produced, Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives are now on the road. And while Stuart’s deep ties to country music include cutting his teeth playing with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt as a mandolinplaying teen prodigy and later getting hired to help anchor Cash’s band, Stuart is eager to spread the gospel of American roots music. With the sophistication with which he and his Fabulous Superlatives play, the just-turned-60-year-old singer-songwriter welcomes the challenge of bringing fellow believers into the fold by way of a well-placed, live-music experience. “I think there’s a time in every band’s life where they end up in a [creative] place where they’re at their peak if you go see them play live,” Stuart says. “I think that time is happening right now for the Fabulous Superlatives, and it’s certainly giving us motivation to live up to the band’s name,” he says, noting that after touring as headliners, the group will open for Steve Miller this summer. “We’re introducing ourselves and our music to a new audience as well as inviting our old friends to come along, so that’s the mission at hand.”

The Art of Touch
Male to Male Massage by a professional CMT.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not cost-efficient to recycle plastic. Sorting and processing the used materials to make them available for fresh stuff is at least as expensive as creating new plastic items from scratch. On the other hand, sending used plastic to a recycling center makes it far less likely that it will end up in the oceans and waterways, harming living creatures. So in this case, the short-term financial argument in favor of recycling is insubstantial, whereas the moral argument is strong. I invite you to apply a similar perspective to your upcoming decisions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): African American
slaves suffered many horrendous deprivations. For example, it was illegal for them to learn to read. Their oppressors feared that educated slaves would be better equipped to agitate for freedom, and took extreme measures to keep them illiterate. Frederick Douglass was one slave who managed to beat the ban. As he secretly mastered the art of reading and writing, he came upon literature that ultimately emboldened him to escape his “owners” and flee to safety. He became one of the nineteenth century’s most powerful abolitionists, producing reams of influential writing and speeches. I propose that we make Douglass your inspiring role model for the coming months. I think you’re ready to break the hold of a certain curse—and to go on to achieve a gritty success the curse prevented you from accomplishing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 25 years, businessman Don Thompson worked for the McDonald’s fast food company, including three years as its CEO. During that time, he oversaw the sale and consumption of millions of hamburgers. But in 2015, he left McDonald’s and became part of Beyond Meat, a company that sells vegan alternatives to meat. I could see you undergoing an equally dramatic shift in the coming months, Gemini: a transition into a new role that resembles, but is also very different from, a role you’ve been playing. I urge you to step up your fantasies about what that change might entail.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot,” wrote author Audre Lorde. As an astrologer I would add this nuance: Although what Lourde says is true, some phases of your life are more favorable than others to seek deep and rapid education. For example, the coming weeks will bring you especially rich teachings if you incite the learning process now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The American idiom “stay in your lane” has come to mean “mind your own business,” and usually has a pejorative sense. But I’d like to expand it and soften it for your use in the coming weeks. Let’s define it as meaning “stick to what you’re good at and know about” or “don’t try to operate outside your area of expertise” or “express yourself in ways that you have earned the right to do.” Author Zadie Smith says that this is good advice for writers. “You have to work out what it is you can’t do, obscure it, and focus on what works,” she attests. Apply that counsel to your own sphere or field, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Yisrael Kristal was a Polish Jew born under the sign of Virgo in 1903. His father was a scholar of the Torah, and he began studying Judaism and learning Hebrew at age three. He lived a long life and had many adventures, working as a candlemaker and a candymaker. When the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945, Kristal emerged as one of the survivors. He went on to live to the age of 113. Because of the chaos of World War I, he’d been unable to do his bar mitzvah when he’d turned thirteen. So he did it much later, in his old age. I foresee a comparable event coming up soon in your life, Virgo. You will claim a reward or observe a milestone or collect a blessing you weren’t able to enjoy earlier. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sailors have used compasses to navigate since the 11th century. But that tool wasn’t enough to guide them. A thorough knowledge of the night sky’s stars was a crucial aid. Skill at reading the ever-changing ocean currents always proved valuable. Another helpful trick was to take birds on the ships as collaborators. While at sea, if the birds flew off and returned, the sailors knew

there was no land close by. If the birds didn’t return, chances were good that land was near. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I think it’s an excellent time to gather a number of different navigational tools for your upcoming quest. One won’t be enough.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What do you want
from the allies who aren’t your lovers? What feelings do you most enjoy while you’re in the company of your interesting, non-romantic companions? For instance, maybe you like to be respected and appreciated. Or perhaps what’s most important to you is to experience the fun of being challenged and stimulated. Maybe your favorite feeling is the spirit of collaboration and comradeship. Or maybe all of the above. In any case, Scorpio, I urge you to get clear about what you want—and then make it your priority to foster it. In the coming weeks, you’ll have the power to generate an abundance of your favorite kind of non-sexual togetherness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the CEO of the clothes company Zappos, Sagittarius entrepreneur Tony Hsieh is worth almost a billion dollars. If he chose, he could live in a mansion by the sea. Yet his home is a 200-square-foot, $48,000 trailer in Las Vegas, where he also keeps his pet alpaca. To be clear, he owns the entire trailer park, which consists of 30 other trailers, all of which are immaculate hotbeds of high-tech media technology where interesting people live. He loves the community he’s created, which is more important to him than status and privilege. “For me, experiences are more meaningful than stuff,” he says. “I have way more experiences here.” I’d love to see you reaffirm your commitment to priorities like his in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’ll be a favorable time to do so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Medical researcher Jonas Salk developed a successful polio vaccine, so he had a strong rational mind. Here’s how he described his relationship with his nonrational way of knowing. He said, “It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner.” I bring this up, Capricorn, because the coming weeks will be a favorable time to celebrate and cultivate your own intuition. You may generate amazing results as you learn to trust it more and figure out how to deepen your relationship with it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey once formulated a concise list of his requirements for living well. “One must be reasonable in one’s demands on life,” he wrote. “For myself, all that I ask is: 1. accurate information; 2. coherent knowledge; 3. deep understanding; 4. infinite loving wisdom; 5. no more kidney stones, please.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you to create your own tally of the Five Crucial Provisions. Be bold and precise as you inform life about your needs. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “We may be surprised at whom God sends to answer our prayers,” wrote author Janette Oke. I suspect that observation will apply to you in the coming weeks. If you’re an atheist or agnostic, I’ll rephrase her formulation for you: “We may be surprised at whom Life sends to answer our entreaties.” There’s only one important thing you have to do to cooperate with this experience: set aside your expectations about how help and blessings might appear.
