he last of the ballots are still being counted in Ventura County including provisional ballots used at in-person voting locations over the four days during which these locations were open. Mail-in ballots that were postmarked by Nov. 3 are also being counted and have until Nov. 20 to arrive at the County Clerk’s office to be counted. The California Secretary of State has until Dec. 11 to certify the results from all counties.

U.S. Congress, House of Representatives

State Assembly

State Senate

County, City Races

Four districts occupy areas in Ventura County, either in whole or in part. A few of these races remain shoe-ins for the Democratic candidate, but one race, District 25, is a real nailbiter. As of press deadline Republican Mike Garcia leads Democrat Christy Smith by a very slim 159 votes in a tight race for this House seat that both parties are watching closely. District 25 reaches into Ventura County in Simi Valley. District 24: Democrat incumbent Salud Carbajal takes 68 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Andy Caldwell. District 26: Julia Brownley, the incumbent Democrat, easily held off Republican Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy with 61 percent of the vote. District 30: Brad Sherman, a Democrat, overtakes Republican Mark Reed with a solid 69 percent of the vote. District 19: Monique Limón, a Democrat in the state assembly, leads with 64 percent of the vote over Republican candidate Gary Michaels. District 27: Henry Stern, the incumbent Democrat, received 61 percent of the vote in a convincing rebuttal to Republican candidate Houman Salem.

District 37: Steve Bennett, the Democratic candidate, moves from the Ventura County Supervisor seat to the state legislature with 68 percent of the vote over Republican candidate Charles Cole. District 38: An interesting race for this district, that is mostly in Los Angeles County, with two Republican candidates vying for the seat left vacant by Christy Smith. Seventy percent of Ventura County voters in this district cast their ballot for winner Suzette Valladares, mirroring districtwide voters who contributed 76 percent of their votes to her, over Lucie Lapointe Volotzky. District 45: Fifty-four percent of Ventura County voters in Bell Canyon cast for Democrat incumbent Jesse Gabriel, who takes the seat with 66 percent of the vote districtwide over Republican challenger Jeffi Girgenti.

County Supervisor, 5th District:The projected winner is Carmen Ramirez with 55 percent of the vote over Tim Flynn. Camarillo City Council: Dist. 3 - Kevin Kildee, 41 percent; Dist. 4 - Tony Trembley, 77 percent. Fillmore City Council: At large, three top candidates are elected: Christina Reyes Villaseñor, 24 percent; Ari Larson, 22 percent;

maintain polyester flags at Oxnard’s city hall, Plaza Park, and in other locations. In the Elks’ initiation ritual, flags are presented to new members, and the Exalted Ruler of the chapter says, “Preserve it as a memento of your full duty in the preservation and defense of all it represents.” Certainly, the advent of more durable flags has helped with preservation, but this change has also made dignified retirement of flags more difficult. The Ventura, Thousand Oaks and Oxnard Elks Lodges accept used flags for retirement, and the traditional cremation ceremony has been their practice, but Gonzales reports the odor and fumes of burning plastic are increasingly prevalent as the content of flags has been changing. In response, the Thousand Oaks lodge began a practice likely to become more widespread. In a ceremony coordinated with local Boy Scouts, they disassembled plastic fiber flags for dignified burial. A 2014 article in Scouting magazine notes individuals are not violating U.S. flag code if they use other methods of discard, as long as the method of retiring the flag is done in a “respectful and dignified manner.” Other methods cited include cutting the flag into quarters as part of a ceremony ending in solemn interment. Ron Fitzgarrald, who served in the Navy from 1968 to 1970 and is now public affairs officer for Vietnam Veterans of Ventura County, has also taken part in ceremonies involving disassembly, rather than cremation of flags. After quartering flags, an officer cut out the individual stars and presented them to veterans. “You don’t have to go tightly around each of the five points,” Fitzgarrald explained. “The one presented to me was cut in a

circle around the star, and I keep it in my uniform jacket pocket.” A member of the Vietnam Veterans collects discarded flags from a publicly accessible flag drop box in front of the Ventura County Government Center’s Hall of Administration, but the organization is not accepting new locations to service. A more unusual, but also dignified, flag retirement option is presented in the work of Oxnardbased artist David Schwartz. Recently, at the Reagan Library, Schwartz displayed a patriotic work painted on a canvas made of retired flags, depicting Jewish American war heroes. The work is destined for the Jewish War Veterans’ national museum in Washington D.C. Schwartz is currently collecting retired cotton flags for a series of works depicting “Classic Car Americana” and also accepts from the public “flags with history,” meaning flags flown over important locations or associated with moving family stories. Either on commission by a family and for return to them, or else for sale in galleries, Schwartz creates art on these flags depicting the patriotic stories. “I have hundreds of synthetic fiber flags people have dropped off for me,” he explained. “But other than the ‘flags with history,’ now I can accept only cotton flags until I get a commission for a large outdoor acrylic sculpture I have in mind.” Schwartz can be reached at SchwARTZ@ARTZworks.com Cleaning and mending a flag is a patriotic act which can forestall discard. Flags may be cleaned by hand or in a washing machine. For repair, Bryan Miller, of American Flags and Cutlery, suggests checking with a local sail repair or general repair shop, and mail-in repair options are available via the Internet. For example, American Flags Express, based in Wisconsin, sells 20 foot by 30 foot polyester flags for $640 and repairs most, with mail back, for $60. If the rows of double stitching need to be

that may come before them. Making the decision to run for office can be a difficult one, but for Johnson the decision made sense. “I’ve been involved in the College Area Community Council for so long and with a district election it was important to me that

Plastic makes flags durable but complicates retirement by David Goldstein If you placed a flag on a veteran’s grave last Wednesday for Veterans Day, you might take comfort in knowing your flag was most likely collected, safely stored and will be reused to honor additional veterans at future Veterans Days, Fourth of July events, or Memorial Day commemorations. Three days after patriotic holidays, most cemeteries collect long-lasting flags placed on graves, making the flags available for future visitors. Similarly, if you noticed impressively large American flags waving from the backs of vehicles rallying for a candidate prior to the recent election, you may take comfort in knowing those flags most likely survived the wind whipping of traveling at freeway speeds. Flags are lasting longer because increasingly, flags are made from plastic fibers. The strongest are made from two-ply polyester, with each stripe held by four rows of double stitching, serving as the equivalent of I-beams in construction. Not far behind the strength of those banners are flags made from thick nylon. Weaker flags, made from single ply polyester, cotton/polyester blends, or even just cotton can also be altered to last longer. For example, Jess Gonzales, past president and 40-year member of the Oxnard Elks Lodge, notes the 5 foot by 8 foot flag flying daily over his lodge is made of cotton, but he helps flags last in good condition over a year by spraying new flags with at least one can of Scotchgard water and sun shield. However, the Elks also

re-sewn, the cost is $120, according to Mike Brenner, program manager. If you plan to drop off a worn flag for dignified retirement by the Boy Scouts, Elks Lodge, Veterans of Foreign Wars or other organization, call first to ensure the location near you is accepting flags, and consider including a monetary donation. Providing flag retirement service is time consuming, and the increasing prevalence of plastic flags is making it more difficult, so support of the organizations’ other charitable causes is appropriate.

The fencing could contain the dog, but Rasmussen knew that if Layla really wanted out, she could jump the fence at any time. She had an agreement with the shelter that if Layla took off, she would not have to pay for the recovery fee. Layla was adjusting to her new home nicely. She took a quick liking to Rasmussen’s two smaller and much older dogs, and would play chase with Rasmussen each morning. She also started approaching her new owner when the other dogs got treats, and even began accepting treats from Rasmussen’s hand. Layla would occasionally lay down six to eight feet away from her. Luckily, on the day Layla went missing, Rasmussen realized it quickly and knew which way she went down the street. She called the shelter and they recommended calling Dog Days Search and Rescue, a Simi Valley-based nonprofit organization that helps pet owners Layla is greeted by her friends and Helle Rasmussen. get reunited with missing pets. She called them and they told her to put up fliers — lots of fliers — and start posting online in every missing pet group on social media and Dog Days also manages most of the missing pet pages Nextdoor.com. for Ventura County, including those in Fillmore, Camarillo, “We mainly do three things,” said JoAnn De Collibus, Somis and Moorpark. who founded Dog Days with Kelly Hill in 2014. “Our main “We do everything from consulting over the phone to goal is to help owners with lost animals, cats and dogs.

Volunteers monitor the cameras using a phone app so that they will know immediately if a trap is successful or if a wild animal is caught by mistake. De Collibus emphasized that Dog Days “traps responsibly” to ensure a quick response in the event that a pet or wild animal is caught. The organization gets daily calls and multiple posts on social media pages, and it assists in rescues in Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties, as well as in the desert areas. Dog Days has also done search and rescue in Tennessee. De Collibus estimated that it assists in hundreds of cases a year, if not thousands. De Collibus explained that many pet owners panic, and frequently start driving or walking around, calling their pet’s name. “But they [the pet] go into fright or flight,” and frequently even the most loyal dog won’t respond. “They think they are in trouble.” Dog Days volunteers walk pet owners through questions such as how they think the pet went missing, did they just Dog Days setting food/scent trap at get out through a fence or get scared (from, for example, Hill Canyon after sighting. fireworks or other loud, disruptive events). Sometimes a pet

Layla at home

goes missing after a car accident and is not near its home. De Collibus said usually, if the animal is healthy and can avoid being hit by a car, it will frequently return to the location from where it was lost. Rasmussen said Dog Days told her “more signs, brighter and bigger. Post everywhere you know, get people spotting her and calling you.” So, she made large, bright pink signs with a big photo of Layla. Her contact phone number was written large, too, to make it easy to read by a passing car. Rasmussen added instructions to not approach the dog, which would cause Layla to run away. Calls started quickly coming in, and all the sightings were reported to Dog Days. Layla was spotted in Lynnmere and Wildwood — residential areas on the edge of open spaces. Rasmussen took her small dogs (that Layla had befriended) and walked them back and forth in that area. She guessed that Layla likely travelled around 20 to 30 miles during her walkabout, and at times was as far as 10 miles away from her new home. On Sunday afternoon, Oct. 25, the dog was spotted in Hill Canyon Park, about a quarter mile from the parking lot. Dog Days placed a food and scent trap nearby. That night, reports came in that Layla was close to home. Dog Days suggested making a strong scent trail with the companion dogs, dog food, treats and clothing of the people she had bonded with. Rasmussen was not comfortable putting out “dirty socks” but opted for t-shirts. Her daughters made a “dog treat trail” along the road to the gates. In the morning, the kids found her in the yard. “They were amazing,” said Rasmussen about Dog Days. Perhaps the only downside looking back is that now Rasmussen has to take down all the signs she posted, “I had forgotten how many I put up.” “It’s mind boggling, after only being here for three weeks,” Layla found her way home. “I’d understand if it was somewhere she lived her entire life . . . she seems happy to be home,” Rasmussen said. Layla had her tail tucked between her legs initially upon her return home, but now Rasmussen says “her tail is up and wagging.” Dog Days Search and Rescue online: https://dogdayssar.com

Tags and Microchips

According to Dog Days, when it comes to missing pets, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Pets that have ID tags with their owners’ phone number and are microchipped are more likely to be found and returned, and found sooner as well. “The points we like to drive home are to put a tag with a phone number” on the pet, and “update the microchip,” said De Collibus.

W

hen he moved into a new house in San Diego, photographer John Mireles asked his neighbors if he could photograph them, and then he hung their portraits on his fence. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive and it helped Mireles bond with his new neighbors. The experience got him thinking. Inspired by writer Jim Collins’ idea of a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal” (BHAG), Mireles thought, “if I went to all 50 states and photographed Americans . . . that would be a BHAG.” It took several years and a few cross-country trips in his RV, but Mireles did it. The result is Neighbors, a photography exhibit on display at Studio Channel Islands. Everywhere he went, Mireles asked total strangers if he could take their photo. The subjects are from various walks of life, representing many different backgrounds. “Americans are incredibly friendly people,” Mireles says. “Doesn’t matter where they’re from or what political stripe, by and large, they’re friendly and welcoming. We all want the same thing.” When he explained his project to people, Mireles

expressed how he hoped it would help us get to know each other as Americans so that we might get along better. The typical response was “well, we need more of that! Take my picture!” The photos in the show are exhibited in pairs. “The photos exist in dialogue with each other,” Mireles explains. “Sometimes the people are similar. Sometimes they are different. You can see that even if people are dissimilar, they share something.” “My favorite pairing is an old guy from Vermont. He’s a farmer and he’s wearing the clothes of a farmer. He has the hands of a man who has worked all his life . . . I paired him with a Black woman from the Southside of Chicago. She is very urbane and dressed very nicely. They’re both looking at the camera. I hope what people take away from it is our underlying humanity. There’s a strength in these people. They share something fundamental and I hope that creates empathy and helps to bridge a divide.” Each image is accompanied by the location where the photo was taken and nothing else. Mireles

Prophetic look at 2020

Bush’s new album is a glimpse into race wars and injustices

by Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

B

ush lead singer Gavin Rossdale is, admittedly, hesitant about playing the Concerts in Your Car series in Ventura County on Saturday, Nov. 21. That’s not to say he isn’t excited. “I can’t wait to do this,” Rossdale said. “I’m a little apprehensive, in the sense of my memory of shows and people sitting on their cars. The best ones, I’ve heard, are people who drive pickup trucks, reverse into the spot and tailgate. They have a really great time. “I’m glad people are wearing masks. I want everyone to be safe but not fall ill.” Bush is pushing its latest album, The Kingdom Deluxe Edition, which was released Oct. 30. The critically acclaimed original collection was released in July without the extras. “We really wanted to make a stand-alone record,” Rossdale said. “I learned it’s OK to make mid-tempo boring records nobody cares about. I wanted to challenge everything we’ve done and make life interesting and vital and make music that really affects people. They’re crafted songs ready to play to 40,000 people.” The songs are somewhat prophetic, too. Rossdale said the album is a rallying call to arms that fell into place “quite extraordinarily.” The songs address social injustices, race wars, wildfires, isolation and an uprising — and the songs were written in January and February. “It makes me look really smart,” Rossdale said with a laugh.

Catch Bush at the Ventura County Fairgrounds on Nov. 21. Photo by Dove Shore

For The Kingdom, Rossdale wrote 30 songs and chose the ones that had the most fluidity. “I do weird things when I write — weird modulations and key modulations just because I’m untrained and do it from ear. A song’s only as good as its weakest moment. I think I went for what were the most complete things. I went with the songs I believed in.” He regretted not including the song “The Worthless Prophets,” but got his chance to release it to the public with the deluxe edition. “Normally, I think of deluxe editions as a marketing ploy to get people to buy it again,” said the cheeky Rossdale. “With ‘Heroes,’ with ‘Undone’ with Mike Garson and the two extra tracks, it’s a good value. I don’t know who needs live tracks. It’s pretty rare that I like a live track. Wait, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘Superstition’ is one live recording I would absolutely get.” “Oh, David Bowie live. I would get that. Normally, they’re all sh*t — even mine,” added Rossdale, whose deluxe edition includes live versions of “Flowers on a Grave” and “The Kingdom.” The band — which today features Rossdale on guitars and vocals, guitarist Chris Traynor, bassist Corey Britz and drummer Nik Hughes — has sold more than 20 million records in the United States and Canada, thanks to hits like “Comedown,” “Glycerine,” “Machinehead,” “Swallowed,” “The Chemi-

cals Between Us” and “The Sound of Winter.” Besides the Concerts in Your Car show, Rossdale will participate in a Bowie birthday tribute organized by the Thin White Duke’s keyboardist Mike Garson. At 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 8 — Bowie’s birthday and near the fifth anniversary of his passing — artists like Rossdale, Trent Reznor, William Corgan, Perry Farrell, Joe Elliott, Macy Gray, Ian Astbury, Lzzy Hale, Corey Glover and Judith Hill will honor him. On social media, Garson said, “We’re bringing together dozens of Bowie alumni band members, too, spanning David’s 1969 self-titled album through Blackstar.” Tickets are on sale through rollinglivestudios.com/bowie/. Rossdale said this project was important to him as he is a big Bowie fan: “Heroes” is one of six bonus tracks on The Kingdom Deluxe Edition. “My sort of participation in the tribute began with a track I did for [Garson] for MusiCares and he asked what song we should do,” said Rossdale. “We did ‘Heroes,’ just me and him on the piano. It’s really beautiful . . . he rang me up a couple weeks ago and asked if I would do this five-year anniversary show with a whole lot of singers and all that. I chose the song and it’s really fun to play with Bowie’s band again. I played with them when David died. It’s a real honor.” The deluxe edition was fun to work on during the pandemic, during which he

improved his guitar skills. He’s been spending a lot of time discovering new music as well. Rossdale enjoys James Blake and Joséphine de La Baume’s Film Noir, as well as Deftones’ new record, Ohms. “With Spotify, it’s so much fun,” he said. “I can listen to Sun Ra and then fall into Chet Baker and Sepultura for a minute, and then into Roxy Music for two days. I fly around the place and listen to anything that takes my fancy. It’s not great for us musicians. We should be buying music. With this, we can buy sandwiches. But it’s something great for listeners.” As the Concerts in Your Car show nears, one thing Rossdale is excited about is playing close to home. “It’s a good place for us,” he said. “It’s beautifully close to home. I like shows where I can drive home afterward.” “It’s just such a great privilege and opportunity to be able to play live and work your craft,” Rossdale added. “It’s beautiful and I like it because the band is really on fire and there’s a really good energy with all of us. We love playing. It’s going to be this unbridled amount of energy.” Bush performs on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, 10 W. Harbor Blvd., Ventura.

ADVICE GODDESS

Grand Theft Autocrat

I’m a 29-year-old straight woman, and I recently started dating this guy I really like. The only issue is he seems a bit controlling. For example, he always wants to pick the restaurant and which TV show we watch. While I’m generally pretty go with the flow, it seems like I never choose what we’re doing. It’s one thing to pick the restaurant, but I worry that he might be like this with bigger things (like if we got a place together or got married). Should I be worried? — Unsure It’s important to have a boyfriend who shows interest in your point of view, ideally beyond, “Are your arm

by amy alkon

restraints a little tight?” But before we start measuring you for your “Handmaid’s Tale” bonnet, consider whether there’s a noncreepy, non-control freakish reason the guy wants to choose the dining establishment and the entertainment. Is he some extreme foodie who pores over restaurant reviews and follows chefs like other guys follow baseball players, while you’re simply a chick who likes to eat out? By the way, I’ve personally horrified some waitresses who’ve overheard me asking my boyfriend to tell me what I should order. I do this not because I am some shell of a person and have no opinions but because I got tired of having food envy when our dinners came. I realized my boyfriend is some sort of culinary sniffer dog, using mere words on a menu to divine the tastiest, most exciting entree, much like tracking dogs use an old sweatshirt to sniff their way to a buried dead body. However, save for the few areas one’s partner has special expertise, there are things in a relationship that can be outsourced, and your decision-making should not be one of them. You create who you are

through your choices, and if you make no choices, there’s no “you.” The elimination by a partner of the need for you to have an opinion could be the beginnings of “coercive control.” This is a term by sociologist Evan Stark for an insidious form of subjugation in a relationship that an abuser uses to dominate and control their partner. It’s a gradual psychological hostage-taking, breaking down a person’s independent self, their concept of reality, and their ability to make decisions for themselves. Victims of coercive control suffer “perspecticide,” which Stark describes as a loss of the ability to “know what you know.” This comes through their gradual isolation from friends and family and losing touch with their opinions, desires, and values, including their ability to discern what is right and wrong. Their abuser (who research finds can be male or female) often resorts to intimate partner violence when coercive control of their victim fails, like if he or she shows a flash of independent thought. In a healthy relationship, a person does not get erased, their perspective never taken into account. Healthy relationships are interdependent.

Though one partner might not agree with the other’s every belief and idea, they generally respect each other’s thinking and are open to their suggestions. Marriage researcher John Gottman describes this as partners accepting each other’s “influence.” This mutual influencing seems to make for more satisfying romantic partnerships with more staying power, explains Gottman: “Men who allow their wives to influence them have happier marriages and are less likely to divorce than men who resist their wives’ influence. Statistically speaking, when a man is not willing to share power with his partner, there is an 81 percent chance his marriage will self-destruct.” Women tend to be higher in a “pleaser” personality trait, “agreeableness,” which, on a positive note, manifests in being warm, kind, generous, and motivated to have positive interactions with others. On a darker note, it can make a woman with a dominant partner more likely to do as she’s told. That said, your feelings are not the boss of you, and you can simply decide to override them and assert yourself: Have opinions, make decisions, and stand up for yourself.

Accordingly, your interactions with this man should be driven by the understanding that you are his equal in the relationship, not his subordinate. To see whether he’s up for an equal partnership — a girlfriend rather than a female serf — tell him you don’t think it’s healthy for you or the relationship for him to make all the decisions. Going forward, you want shared responsibility for decision-making. For your part in this, you need to take responsibility: Assert yourself by asserting your opinions and desires when there are decisions to be made. This is how you create a healthy relationship instead of a two-person totalitarian state — complete with a “Gulag Sweet Home” needlepoint and where mundane questions like, “How was your day?” kick off your Soviet show trial. ©2020, Amy Alkon, all rights reserved.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

“Love can’t always do work,” wrote novelist Iris Murdoch. “Sometimes it just has to look into the darkness.” From what I can tell, you’ve been doing that recently: looking into the darkness for love’s sake. That’s a good thing! You have been the beneficiary of the blessings that come through the contemplation of mysteries and enigmas. You’ve been recalibrating your capacity to feel love and tenderness in the midst of uncertainty. I suspect that it will soon be time to shift course, however. You’re almost ready to engage in the intimate work that has been made possible by your time looking into the darkness.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

Author Barbara Kingsolver says, “Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.” That’s always valuable advice, but it’ll be especially useful to keep in mind during the coming weeks. You’re probably going to feel more pressure than usual to tell others what they wish you would tell them; you may experience some guilt or worry about being different from their expectations of you. Here’s the good news: I’m pretty certain you can be true to yourself without seeming like a jerk to anyone or damaging your long-term interests. So you might as well say and do exactly what’s real and genuine.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

“The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks,” wrote playwright Tennessee Williams. I think that’s a poetic but accurate description of the feat you’ve been working on lately, Gemini. You’re gently smashing through stony obstructions. You’ve been calling on your irrepressible will to enjoy

by rob brezsny

life as you have outsmarted the rugged, jagged difficulties. You’re relying on beauty and love to power your efforts to escape a seemingly no-win situation. Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22):

Cancerian rapper Vince Staples says, “I feel like it’s impossible to be completely yourself.” Why? Because ideally we’re always outgrowing who we have become; we’re moving beyond the successes we have already achieved. There is no final, whole, ideal “self” to inhabit and express — only more and more of our selfness to create. Staples suggests we’d get bored if we reached a mythical point where we had figured out exactly who we are and embodied it with utter purity. We always have a mandate to transform into a new version of our mystery. Sounds like fun! Everything I just said, Cancerian, is an empowering meditation for you right now.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22):

“I am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.” Singer-songwriter Lady Gaga said that, and now I offer it to you to use as your motto. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s a fabulous time to be your own sanctuary. I invite you to rebirth yourself at least twice between now and the end of November. What’s the first step you’ll take to get started?

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

The National Football League is a giant socialist enterprise. It earns billions of dollars of revenue, and shares it equally with each of its 32 teams. So the team in Green Bay, Wisconsin, population

105,000, receives the same payout as the team in Chicago, population 2.7 million. I advocate a comparable approach for you in the coming weeks. Just for now, distribute your blessings and attention and favors as evenly as possible, showing no favoritism toward a particular child or friend or pet or loved one or influence. Be an impartial observer, as well. Try to restrain biases and preferential treatment as you act with even-handed fair-mindedness. Don’t worry: You can eventually go back to being a subjective partisan if you want. For the foreseeable future, your well-being requires cordial neutrality.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“Who is to decide between ‘Let it be’ and ‘Force it’?” asked Libran author Katherine Mansfield. I mention this because you’re now hanging out in the limbo zone between “Let it be” and “Force it.” But very soon — I’m sure you’ll have a clear intuition about when — you’ll figure out how to make a decisive move that synthesizes the two. You will find a way to include elements of both “Let it be” and “Force it.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me,” wrote Scorpio poet Dylan Thomas (1914–1953) in a letter to a friend. That sounds like a lot of energy to manage! And he didn’t always do a good job at it — although he did at times tap into his primal wellspring to create some interesting poetry. I’m going to use Thomas’s words in your horoscope, because I think that in the coming weeks you can be a subtle, refined, and mature blend of a beast, angel, and madperson. Be your wisest wild self, dear Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Activist and author Rebecca Solnit writes, “The grounds of my hope have always been that history is wilder than our imagination of it and that the unexpected shows up far more regularly than we ever dream.” In my astrological estimation, her grounds for hope should also be yours in the coming weeks. The future is more wide-open than you might think. The apparent limitations of the past are at least temporarily suspended and irrelevant. Your fate is purged of some of your old conditioning and the inertia of tradition. I encourage you to make a break for freedom. Head in the direction of the Beautiful Unknown.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa doesn’t stand straight, but tilts at an angle. Why? The soil it was built on is soft on one side. So the marble-and-limestone structure began to tip even before it was finished. That’s the weird news. The good news is that the tower has remained standing for more than eight centuries — and has stayed intact even though four major earthquakes have rolled through the area. Why? A research team of engineers determined it’s because of the soft foundation soil, which prevents the tower from resonating violently with the temblors. So the very factor that makes it odd is what keeps it strong. Is there a comparable phenomenon in your life? I believe there is. Now is a good time to acknowledge this blessing — and enhance your use of it.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Even if you tend to pay more attention to what’s going wrong than what’s going right, I ask you to change your attitude for the next three weeks. Even if you believe that

cynicism is an intelligent perspective and a positive attitude is a wasteful indulgence, I encourage you to suspend those beliefs. As an experiment — and in accordance with astrological potentials — I invite you to adopt the words of activist Helen Keller as your keynote: “Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it, while every pessimist would keep the world at a standstill. The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation is the same as in the life of the individual. Pessimism kills the instinct that urges people to struggle against poverty, ignorance and crime, and dries up all the fountains of joy in the world.”

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

Researchers in the UK found that 62 percent of the adult population brags that they’ve read classic books that they have not in fact read. Why? Mostly to impress others. George Orwell’s 1984 is the top-rated book for fake claims, followed by Tolstoy’s War and Peace, James Joyce’s Ulysses, and the Bible. I hope you won’t engage in anything like that type of behavior during the weeks ahead. In my opinion, it’s even more crucial than usual for you to be honest and authentic about who you are and what you do. Lying about it might seem to be to your advantage in the short run, but I guarantee it won’t be. Homework: What’s the one thing you have never said to your best friend that you really should say?

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.
