FIRE EARTH AIR WATER

Leo (Jul 22-Aug 23)

A busy time behind the scenes will now enter a more obvious, frontal assault of deliberate assertion. That’s what is likely to happen when the Sun enters your own sign and when it happens to be Leo! Yet, your critical faculties will also be running strong leading you to practical considerations above all, such as how to save money.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

A busy cycle begins both behind the scenes and involving stronger outward expressions, as well. Your focus will be towards making improvements. Positively, this will amount to a creative cycle during which time projects awaiting their time can begin. Gathering tools and materials is especially likely and may constitute the greater measure of your efforts.

Libra (Sep 22-Oct 22)

The Sun transit through Leo will have the effect of activating a strong sense of your individuality. Some of this may come about by way of inner work or at least emerge as if out of the blue from your subconscious mind. If the latter is true, the effects may be a little delayed, yet will also be strong and more evident.

Scorpio (Oct 22-Nov 21)

This is your moment of opportunity to get some well-deserved attention. To this end, you may find yourself working harder than usual. Neither will you be in the mood to ‘suffer fools gladly’. Your resolve stands to be ambitious, determined and pragmatic. In fact, others may regard your actions as revolutionary, or at least markedly rebellious.

Sagittarius (Nov 21-Dec 21)

The Sun and Leo will add to an enthusiastic and exuberant mood. You will feel excited and inspired to go big somehow. Venus and Mars in Virgo will help you to keep both feet on the ground all the while. You will push for practical results which may include acquiring new skills, tools and techniques.

Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19)

Over the coming several weeks you will undergo changes subject to new realizations, epiphanies and perhaps some measure of sober realization. A feature of this process includes something of a vision quest supported by a strong desire and determination to decipher what is and is not true

Aquarius (Jan 19-Feb 19)

Your relationship life is poised to undergo a process of change and transformation. Endings are very likely during the coming weeks, yet these will be quickly followed by new beginnings. Yet, these will probably be experienced as practical choices that leave you feeling clear, sober and realistic regarding the overall process.

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

Changes in your overall lifestyle will be activated by the Sun in Leo. The emphasis is upon health and self-improvement. Much of this focus will likely include your home and family. Shifts and perhaps even permanent changes in your usual perspectives are featured.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Questions regarding who your true friends are is highlighted this week. This extends to who you are on your journey and what you need and value. Naturally, these change over time. Extra efforts may be required to keep the peace since Mercury is in Cancer where thoughts and perceptions are more subjective than usual.

Taurus (Apr 20-May 21)

Home and family take the spotlight this week. You yearn for quality time shared more than usual. Strong emotions will guide your thinking and upsets are quite possible, or at least some sentimental, possibly teary, moments. Otherwise, you are in the mood to play. Be careful asfun and games can turn to hard ball.

Gemini (May 21-Jun 21)

Your energy levels have been running quite high and this will continue. You have likely been enjoying some fun in the sun of late. This trend will continue yet also include a more sober and serious approach towards making improvements. Cleaning and doing repairs is featured. Philosophical thoughts are also on your mind.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)

The recent New Moon in your sign culminates now and will synchronize with a definite wave of change in terms of emotions linked to your social network. Mercury in your sign will likely manifest as stronger emotional expressions than usual. Your critical faculties will be running strong as well serving to raise your energy levels but perhaps also your blood pressure.

Paddling around Lake Tahoe is a challenge not only physically, because you might wish you had Popeye the Sailor arms by the time you get done, but because it takes at least four to six days for most people to make the paddle.

Tackle it in sections

While thru-paddling is a worthwhile dream, perhaps a rst step is to day paddle portions of the route or take on a two-day trip stopping at a campground or hotel along the route.

D.L. Bliss to Emerald Bay (overnight) | My overnight experience was starting out at D.L. Bliss State Park and paddling to the Emerald Bay State Park boat camp in a canoe. is is truly a magical area of lake shore. But with reservations booked up months in advance, it’s a challenge getting a campsite. You can also paddle this as an out and back from D.L. Bliss; be sure and check the expected wind speeds and head out early.

Sunnyside to South Shore (overnight) | Start at William Kent Campground beach next to Sunnyside Lodge and paddle to Meeks Bay, spend the night at the campground and paddle on to exit at Baldwin Beach in South Lake Tahoe.

Sand Harbor to Tahoe City (overnight) | Start at the Sand Harbor Boat Launch on the Nevada side, paddle to Kings Beach, spend a night in a hotel, then paddle on to Tahoe City. Or an almost vice versa, start at the Lake Forest Boat launch, head clockwise to Kings Beach/Tahoe Vista, then the next day head to Sand Harbor. Kings Beach to Incline Village | If you’re looking to try out a several-hours paddle on the lake, I’ve enjoyed paddling from Kings Beach to Incline Village, Nev., where you glide by giant granite boulders near the California/Nevada border.

Sand Harbor | Launch from the beautiful, although extremely busy, Sand Harbor and paddle in either direction.

Sunnyside to Tahoe City | Paddle from Tahoe Park on the West Shore to Tahoe City and check out the beginning of the Truckee River, although with the water low, that might be a challenge this year.

I still have my dream, that someday I will put on my miracle logistics cap and all the arrangements will fall into place, the weather gods will provide the perfect conditions for six days of paddling and I will nally make my way around the lake. | laketahoewatertrail.org 
