EDITOR’S NOTE

Bully article strikes a nerve

Severance disparity exposed omen still aren’t standing up for themselves as much as they could be — at least when it comes to settlements in severance pay, according to a new UVic study.

Dr. Ken Thornicroft, proDANIELLE fessor of business law and POPE employment relations at UVic’s news@ Gustavson School of Business, mondaymag.com performed two studies that explored gender bias in severance settlements, but what he found was surprising: whether they go to court to settle a wrongful dismissal claim or negotiate a settlement on their own, women get fewer weeks of severance pay than men — in almost every case.

“Women face a marked disadvantage when negotiating severance pay settlements, which in some cases could mean a loss of several months’ pay,” says Thornicroft. “What’s disturbing about the findings is that an anti-female bias is equally demonstrated by women and men — the males recovered nearly two months’ additional notice than did the females in the negotiation experiment.”

Thornicroft and his team studied 128 cases of men and women in high-paying (think six-digits) managerial positions, and developed their findings from a study of decisions issued by provincial and territorial courts of appeal from 2000 to 2011. Then, Thornicroft conducted a seven-year experiment with his business students about reasonable notice entitlements, examining 688 cases of men and women undergoing settlements. The team found, across the board, that results from the appellate courts’ study indicated women are systematically awarded about 1.5 to 1.7 months less notice than similar male litigants. When it comes to personal negotiating, women also fared worse than men.

While reasons for the variance are hard to determine, especially in negotiating situations, Thornicroft says a potential solution — beyond recognizing that this is an issue — is to establish a legislated formula for calculating reasonable notice.

“A statutory formula would eliminate the issue of gender from coming into play, and reduce the potential for costly court cases,” he says. “Negotiations driven by a formula cut out that variable and clearly state, here’s what you’re entitled to, end of story.”

Meanwhile, ladies, harden that bottom line.

t was so interesting to read and hear reactions to last week’s cover feature on bullying in the workplace.

While the majority of readers wanted to share their own stories of demeaning encounters with terrible bosses, a few reacted in a completely unexpected and curious way.

I heard from several people at different companies who were concerned the examples used were somehow aimed at them, and from employees who assumed it GRANT was their manager in the spotlight. After assuring the MCKENZIE bosses they were not the template for the examples, I did suggest that if they saw themselves in the descriptions, editor@ it might be time for some self-reflection or managerial mondaymag.com training before HR brings down the hammer.

One anonymous manager was so convinced that she was being used as an example of a bully that she had several friends bombard our website comments section with personal attacks against the writer, Tim Collins. Tim even began receiving threatening phone calls at home. This is exactly what Jacqueline Power described in the article as typical bully behaviour: “The bully will create a group of followers who are convinced they’re superior to the victims.” None of the friends wrote about how wonderful this manager is, instead they attacked the writer’s age and imagined social standing (nobody can know another person’s story just by looking at them), and called for him to be punished for this perceived attack. These are all earmarks of bullying, and I was especially disappointed in how quickly the comments sunk to demeaning and ageist remarks.

The kicker? We have stories of bosses in Victoria (including one who challanged her subordinate to a fistfight) that we didn’t use, who make even our generic examples pale in comparison.

It is so very interesting that when one looks in a mirror, the reflection is often what we choose to see rather than the truth.

A TIME TO REJOICE FOR JOYCE Speaking of UVic, devout fans of James Joyce will be thrilled to know June 16 marks the infamous anniversary of the day spent in one of the most notable tomes of our time: Ulysses. And now is the perfect time to dive right in, especially if you’re a Twitter lover.

“Ulysses gets this bad rap as being a difficult read ... but it’s really like following one person’s inane Twitter feed for a day: June 16, 1904 in Dublin. We know what Bloom eats for lunch, we know when

Women get the severance shaft, says one UVic study.

he farts,” says Dr. Stephen Ross, professor at UVic’s Department of English, and organizer of the school’s Modernist Versions Project. “Not everything in the book is important, but it is an important novel.”

In an effort to help demystify the hard-to-read reputation Joyce’s book has earned, the Modernist Versions Project is launching its first ambitious initiative in the form of “Year of Ulysses” — the group will be uploading one chapter every three weeks of the original 1922 copyrighted version of the text, so that those interested can read along in chunks online, then join in with the Twitter live chats that follow (see hashtag #youlysseschat). To kick off the event, the group will host an opening launch party to release the first three chapters of the book online at none other than the James Joyce Bistro (Peacock Billiards at 834 Johnson) Friday, June 15, at 9 p.m.

But why would anyone want to dedicate a whole year to reading one person’s historic fictitious day-inthe-life? As Ross points out, we already do this.

“We’re reading an academic, self-absorbed young man — we’re kind of meant to laugh at him,” says Ross. “But the key to this novel is that Bloom is preoccupied with the idea that we’re ignorant of how others view us ... and when you think about that, it’s a fundamental problem we all have today. We’re constantly self-dramatizing, deciding what we want people to see of us on Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest, but we have no control over what they really think.”

WEEKLY REPORT CARD

Before you waste money on another tie this Father’s Day, turns out the real way you can show Dad some love is by helping him start his own business.

According to some new figures from Statistics Canada, 82 per cent of men would like to start their own business, with goals in the food and hospitality industry winning most aspirations nation-wide.

In B.C., the arts/entertainment/recreation sector was where most men said they saw their potential venture (14 per cent), with the food and hospitality industry coming in second at 13 per cent. environmental services came in last at five per cent.

Maybe Dad will need that tie after all. M

STREET SMARTS What does Victoria’s big 150th mean to you?

KIERAN REPORT

Endless dithering is not an option ow deliciously fitting that some of the best advice Premier Christy Clark has received this spring comes from Angus Reid, the BRIAN pollster she has maKIERAN ligned repeatedly for bkieran@ telling it like it is. mondaymag.com The most recent Angus Reid poll shows the premier continuing a popularity free fall that began almost as soon as she took office. Today, Clark’s positive performance rating stands at just 30 per cent, making her the second most unpopular premier in the nation, just three points ahead of Nova Scotia’s Darrell Dexter.

Correspondingly, her disapproval rating continues to climb with 63 per cent of survey respondents saying they’re unhappy with her performance. By comparison, the NDP’s Adrian Dix is now the second most popular opposition leader in the country with an approval rating of 53 per cent.

With the popularity gap between Clark and Dix at a staggering 23 points, Angus Reid spokesman Mario Canseco comes

H

to the obvious conclusion: “The enemy’s not anybody else but Adrian Dix for the Liberals and the sooner that they get into the mindset of what it might take to win the next election, their numbers might actually start to trend upwards again.”

Canseco’s warning is simple and his advice is the stuff of Politics 101. Premier Clark and the Liberals have to actually do something to re-energize the free enterprise vote. They have to draw a line in the sand between Clark and Dix that defines the choices ahead. They have to wave a flag that stops free enterprisers from wavering.

Nothing illustrates the pressing need for action better than the premier’s dithering over the proposed Enbridge pipeline.

Surely the Liberal brain trust realizes that this issue is too important and too prominent for Clark to continue to sit on the fence with both ears on the ground.

She insists it is still too soon to determine if the pipeline risks are too high. “We should recognize those concerns as legitimate, but let’s see what comes out of the process.”

Frankly, this is political cowardice. The government has not even participated in the pipeline hearings even though it is currently in possession of all the information it needs to make an informed con-

CITY WATCHDOG

Police brawn over brain is eerily familiar few years back, Vancouver’s Downtown East Side was surprised to discover it had a problem. This problem — dubbed Street Disorder — was new to an area familiar with life’s underbelly, but for the Vancouver Police Department the existing drug abuse, crimes of poverty, and health concerns were nothing compared to SIMON this new threat.

NATTRASS “Street disorder of course was a euphesnattrass@ mism for visible poverty,” recalls B.C. Civil mondaymag.com Liberties Association executive director David Eby. The poverty of the DTES was fine when it was hidden in alleyways and behind closed doors, but as undesirables overflowed into the public sphere, something had to be done.

“I think there is a reality among police forces that the way in which the force deals with marginalized populations is dictated by the police chief,” says Eby. Faced with the spectre of Street Disorder, the VPD and its chief — then Victoria’s own Jamie Graham — made the choice to embrace enforcement as the answer to poverty with a series of initiatives which collectively

tribution regarding the merits and risks attached to the controversial project. A thick technical report on the project is currently gathering dust in the office of Environment Minister Terry Lake.

The Enbridge pipeline project represents a critical provincial and national energy policy issue. During next year’s election it will most certainly be a wedge issue that helps shape debate and define voter choices. The NDP — the party of “No” — has made it clear where it stands.

Both the NDP and the Liberals have observed that the project leaves B.C. with few economic benefits and substantial environmental risk. Herein lies the Liberals’ opportunity to engage and show leadership.

Clark needs to wake up. If she takes forever to take her place in this crucial debate only to eventually join the NDP in opposition then what shreds of free enterprise support she still enjoys will abandon her and her government.

What she needs to do for her “Canada Starts Here” constituency is support the project, fully engage her government in the hearing process and begin a tough political fight for a major revenue-sharing agreement with Alberta and a nationallyendorsed environmental risk mitigation strategy.

Endless dithering is not an option. M

made the DTES one of the most heavily policed areas in the province.

“The effect of this policing was to displace all of the issues of the DTES across the neighbourhoods of Vancouver,” says Eby. “It was a massive disaster.”

The other effect of the VPD’s aggressive policing methods was to act as a catalyst for grassroots police oversight in Vancouver, with organizations like the Pivot Legal Society and Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users leading the charge against the VPD’s harassment of the street community.

Vancouver is beginning to heal, but the drama that unfolded there under Chief Graham’s command a decade ago is now being replayed on our streets.

“The parallels are eerie,” says Eby, only weeks after a trip to The Capital. Over-policing of Victoria’s poorest residents as outlined in this year’s Out Of Sight report and the subsequent backlash of local anti-poverty activists are the logical outcome of VicPD’s brawn-over-brain approach to poverty on our streets.

There’s an old saying — those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We can forgive ourselves for not always remembering the history of centuries past, but when the history of only a decade ago comes back to bite us in the ass, who else do we have to blame? M

New ferry could link West Shore with Victoria

By Danielle Pope news@mondaymag.com

ttention Colwood Crawlers: a new, stress-free passage into and out of downtown Victoria could be sailing your way soon — but only if you demand it.

Over the next few months, business students in Royal Roads MBA program will partner up with the WestShore Chamber of Commerce and Black Ball Ferry Line to look at the complexities and possibilities of running a commuter passenger ferry from Royal Bay to the Inner Harbour, and they’ll be basing much of their recommendations on residents’ input.

“This is not a new idea — in fact, it’s been around for about 100 years if you look at old newspaper clippings, but it’s all about timing,” says Dan Spinner, CEO of WestShore Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve seen an extraordinary population growth in the area, and the question becomes, how do we handle that?”

The West Shore currently hosts about 70,000 people, which Spinner says is expected to double in the next decade. A current estimated 25,000 vehicles make the trip to and from Victoria every day, with a 45-minute travel time during busy periods with no road accidents. In 10 years, Spinner says that time will adjust to approximately 1.5 hours.

While the region has been discussing the possibility of light rail transit, Spinner says that’s still far in the future and a ferry could be a more immediate fix.

“This really isn’t an argument of either or, it’s an

A

argument for all: yes, we still need light rail transit, we still rely on our cars, and we need to use our coastal resources,” he says.

The study is being conducted as part of a final project for students in the MBA faculty of management, and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2012. Students will be looking at possible effects, including commuter sentiment and interest, circumstances in which consumers would choose a ferry, cost, feasibility, reduction of commuter traffic and carbon emissions, and the effect of a possible increase of tourism to the West Shore.

Black Ball Ferry Line, which runs the Coho Ferry from Victoria’s harbour to Port Angeles, Wash., could seem an interesting choice in terms of partnership for the Island project, yet Black Ball president Ryan Burles resides in the West Shore, and first approached Spinner with this proposed use of the 500-acre gravel pit at Royal Bay. “This isn’t going to happen tomorrow, obviously, but we’d like to play a part in developing the area in a way that makes sense for the community,” says Burles. “Living in the West Shore, I can see the definite pressure as things keep growing, and I think we have untapped resources at our fingers there.

But we need bus systems and easy access to ferry routes to make it a real option for commuters.”

Burles estimates a trip by ferry could take 30 minutes from shore to shore, but he points out it’s 30 minutes passengers can read, do homework or talk to colleagues on their phones — all difficult procedures when driving. Passenger cost and ferry frequency is still being examined. M

“

That’s the quote that fills up the wallpaper of local “violinistextremist” Kytami’s Twitter page.

And it’s true.

For anyone who’s ever seen the dynamic electric fiddler’s show, it’s obvious that Kytami is a no-holdsbarred rocker, whose energy abounds on stage.

Although the words rocker and fiddle don’t always go hand-in-hand, Kytami is managing to make it a very memorable mashup.

“That’s my sound — it’s electronic, dance, heavy bass, elements of hip hop, fiddle and classical violin styles all mixed together.”

She worked with old friend and producer Steven Mek on the album, which ranges from violin electronica and drum and bass to downtempo and urban.

“I’ve been working with him so long.

He understands me, my violin and my style. I went to Toronto to work with him and also just to get away. I didn’t want any distractions, I just wanted to buckle down and write.”

This is Kytami’s second solo album (her first was 2002’s Conflation), but the first she’s using her own vocals on.

“I was inspired to say something and I felt comfortable with Steve, where as I don’t know if I would have been as comfortable with another producer,” she says.

t may be a sea of red, white and blue bunting across the U.K. at the moment in celebration of the Queen’s 60 years on the throne, but if you ask me, 2012 is the year of the burger around these parts.

trendoids turned up their nose at the very idea of a burger — especially one that had the temerity to appear on an evening menu. However, all that has changed. People are eschewing cutlery and literally getting their hands dirty when they eat once in a while, and d why not? There’s something truly amazing g about ab bou ut that th hatt ffirst bite of a burger when the ratio of bun and fillings fiillin ng are perfectly balanced.

The origin i s of the hamburger as we know it today origins are murky, but even less clear is when it became the fashion to stick things other than bread on top of one — or bet better yet, to use something other than ground beef beeef as the main ingredient. Though I am defi fini nittely a fan of the traditional model, this definitely w eek we take a look at some of Victoria’s best week dissiden dissident burgers.

WHO NEEDS GRAPES WHEN YOU HAVE GIN

No sin to love gin ine tours are great, but if you have visitors from the Napa Valley, as a friend of mine did recently, they might not be too excited about the prospect of an afternoon wandering through a vineyard.

But fear not. If you want to show off a different locally produced beverage, Victoria Spirits at 6170 Old West Saanich Road might have just what you’re looking for. Known for its popular citrusy spice-laden Victoria Gin, they took it one step further and aged some in American Oak, producing Oaken Gin, an ambered hued tipple with a touch of sweetness. Don’t like gin? They’ve used local, organic hemp seed to produce smooth and clean Left Coast Hemp vodka. Visit the distillery until October for a tour and tastings, from 11 a.m.- 5 p.m., weekends and holidays.

Local artist Rhiannon Snaith is trying to broaden the scope of Victorians' knowledge of local biodiversity .

Marketing the Common Merganser MIGRATING MAGNETS BROADEN SCOPE OF LOCAL BIODIVERSITY

By Mary Ellen Green arts@mondaymag.com

hen local artist Rhiannon Snaith heard the shocking statistic that people recognize more corporate logos than natural species, she was inspired to do something about it.

She's hoping to broaden the scope of the public's knowledge of local biodiversity through an interactive art installation, called Migrating Magnets, featuring three species of birds that can be found locally — the Belted Kingfisher, the Red-Breasted Nuthatch and the Common Merganser.

“Victoria is famous for its birds,” says Snaith.

“It's even become a destination for bird watching.”

In partnership with the Sierra Club B.C., her project Scope is a public art initiative promoting species recognition by the same means that commercial enterprises create brand recognition — by creating eye-catching logos featuring each species and using the urban environment as the billboard.

“Every species has its own visual characteristics, known as field marks. These actually function a lot like logos when you come to know them. A big orange square might say hardware store in the same way a long slender neck might say heron to a casual passerby,” says Snaith.

She created three different magnets, each featuring different artistic style and a species easily found locally, and is handing them out to the public in hopes that they put them up around town. She's also hoping that when someone comes across one of her magnets that they'll peel it off and move it to a new location.

“They're non-polluting, non-destructive and will have a good life-span outdoors,” says Snaith.

“Some people will put them on their bumpers and drive across the country, some people might put it on their fridge so their guests can see it, some store owner might put it on their cash till where it will stay for 20 years. The idea is that the magnet has a life, just like a living creature.”

With help from a friend, Snaith was able to secure an Idea Grant from the CRD Arts Development Service to make the project a reality. She used the money to build a website and to print the 300 magnets she'll be doling out Saturday, June 16 at the Bastion Square Public Market (11 a.m. To 5 p.m.).

“The magnets act like wild animals as well as like commercial advertising. They can appear anywhere, they have a particular identity, and they move around and take you by surprise,” says Snaith.

Each magnet includes the url of her website, Naturallybranded.info, where people can visit if they're seeking more information about the project, the species on the magnet or how to identify it.

Snaith is hoping that the framework, which could be used to promote other species in other regions, will catch on and spread to other areas.

She's also hoping that other artists will want to draw, paint, photograph or illustrate other species to be included in future versions of the project.

“This is all about the proliferation of our brand, and the fun of scoping out the natural species, live or drawn, that pop up randomly in the urban environment,” says Snaith. M

Review: Shaw’s Arms and The Man BLUE BRIDGE REPERTORY THEATRE TAKES A FRESH LOOK AT THE CLASSICS lue Bridge Repertory Theatre is offering a fresh take on the classics with its production of George Bernard Shaw’s tale of love and war, Arms and The Man. This pacifist comedy is almost 120 years old, yet the subject matter, the jokes (well, most anyway) and lessons are still relatable today. But it’s the direction by Glynis Leyshon that brings this play into the modern millennia, even if the setting, costumes and story are stuck in the time of the SerboBulgarian war (188586), almost 10 years before it was written.

Leyshon’s plentiful use of physical comedy heightened the humour in this satire

and reminds us not to take things so seriously all the time (which is a welcome reminder).

This star-studded cast brings vitality and hilarity to Shaw’s script, with female lead Amada Lisman home from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival to take on her first Shaw as Raina, the Bulgarian officer’s daughter with hopelessly romantic views of life and war. Raina is engaged to Sergius (Jay Hindle), a solider whose status is more impressive than his fortitude.

Dylan Smith (who played Jacques in Blue Bridge’s inaugural production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It and who most recently understudied Paul Gross and appeared on Broadway alongside Kim Cattrall in Noel Coward’s Private Lives) brings depth in the role of Captain Bluntschli, who climbs in Raina’s window in an attempt to escape Bulgarian soldiers hot on his tail.

EUROPE'S MOST WANTED

idley Scott’s latest movie both references 2001: A Space Odyssey and includes a robot character who is shown imitating Peter O’Toole’s performance in David Lean’s sublime Lawrence of Arabia. But since the creator of Blade Runner did more than anyone to define contemporary science fiction, he’s earned a right to his pretensions. The much-anticipated Prometheus, a prequel to the dankly gruesome Alien, is set about 70 years in the future and features a space flight to a remote star system. The mission is to confirm the possibility that space aliens visited Earth many thousands of years ago — and may even have supplied the DNA source code that created humankind.

This being sci-fi, evidence of a seemingly extinct alien culture is soon discovered; then things inevitably go wrong, and people start to die in gruesome ways. And, this being a sci-fi epic that wants some intellectual content to go along with the dazzling set designs, questions of faith, religion and free will are raised in interesting ways — not least when David the robot (marvelously played by Michael Fassbender) points out to a spiritually inclined scientist (Noomi Rapace of Dragon Tattoo fame) that he has received no benefit from knowing his origins.

Although there is less here than meets the eye — the plot feels a bit static, and the “meet your Creator” theme dates from Blade Runner — Prometheus contains stunning set pieces, great art direction and strong performances. It also marks a pleasing change from the ongoing plethora of wind-up superhero movies. M

espite being a step down from primo animation like Saving Nemo, the Madagascar movies have been lively and funny entertainments, with great character voices and the delightful scheming of that trio of perfidious penguins. The third in the series, Europe’s Most Wanted, easily maintains the tone of the earlier movies. In this outing, the penguins have abandoned our heroes in the middle of Africa while flying off to Monte Carlo to make their fortune in the casino. Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, et al. follow them to France and attempt an abduction, only to create chaos at the casino that brings them to the attention of a crazed animalcontrol officer who desperately wants a lion head to mount on her wall of trophies.

On the run, our cute critters joins forces with a down-on-its-luck circus and head to Rome and then London, hoping to attract the attention of a big-time circus promoter who will take them home to America. And so, while being stalked ruthlessly

by Captain DuBois and struggling to reverse the fortunes of a bedraggled troupe of circus animals, “Madagascar’s Most Amusing” take the audience on a very colourful adventure.

Although sometimes a bit of a jumble — the movie’s tone shifts jerkily from post-modern pop culture commentary, to caper flick, to a rather laboured be-all-you-can-be lesson in self-affirmation — Madagascar delivers some zingy family entertainment. And after getting in a few jabs at Quebec and Cirque de Soleil, it then rips them off shamelessly for a nearly surreal climactic performance. Lots of fun! M

(And of the zodiac are named remember the after the constellations, GEORGIA password is they don’t line up with NICOLS “Sherbet the constellations.)

You’ve just had your birthday. springing into sharp relief, bringing You’re beginning a new year, but new events and meaning into our more than that, with fair Venus and lives. Of course, what has meaning lucky Jupiter in your sign, you sense for one person might be meaning- this is a time of opportunity and less for another. (Nevertheless, we fresh beginnings. There’s a differcan all agree that Cole’s Law is just ence between having with a sense thinly sliced cabbage.) of intent and having a To Do list.

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 In the month ahead, you’ll want to nest at home. One reason for this is you’ll feel a need to have time alone. Childhood memories will bubble to the surface of your mind.

You’ll appreciate being around familiar things. Discussions with family members (especially parents) could be significant. In turn, these memories and family discussions might make you want to bounce your thoughts off of third party – a friend, advisor or professional counsellor because families can be wonderful and supportive but also quite maddening. George Burns was right: “Happiness as a loving, warm, caring family living in another city.”

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 You are the banker of the zThe solar shift will speed things up for you! Expect a busy month ahead with an accelerated daily pace because your schedule will be busier than usual. Many of you will take short trips while others will be running around doing errands more than usual. You feel a bit restless and the need to move around, which is why this could be a good time for a vacation as well. You’re also eager to reach out to others because you want to communicate. You want

The latter is just a list of activities, but the former is potentially lifechanging. This is why you’re thinking about how you earn money, how you would like to earn money, and what you want to do with your money. Cash flow and possessions are outer expressions of these values. (As something to think about if you’re into nude rap sessions.)

CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 This week the Sun enters your sign for the next four weeks, boosting your energy and attracting favourable circumstances to you as well as important people. This really is a super-charge! It’s also a time where it’s totally appropriate to put yourself first because, essentially, it’s all about you. Plus, you’ll have a strong need to express yourself.

This is the beginning of your personal year (birthday to birthday), which is more real than the beginning of a calendar year. Because the Sun in your sign allows you to project yourself more forcefully, you’ll make a strong impression on others. You want to run the show and don’t want to be told what to do.

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 This is a time of preparation because your birthday is a month away. January 1 is an arbitrary date devised by the Gregorian calendar.

But your birthday is real. It’s when the degree of your sign (at the time of your birth) lines up with the degree of the Sun in the sky. A true beginning! Why not set some goals about what you want to achieve in the next year? Life is a conveyor belt.

You get on until you get off. The ride is your life, which is chopped into segments of being asleep and awake creating the illusion of days, months and years. But you’re always on the ride. The question is – what do you want to do with the time left to you?

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 This solar shift ushers in a month of popularity for Virgos. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Accept invitations to socialize and extend a few from yourself as well. You might join a club or take a class.

You’ll find it rewarding to be with others because not only will you enjoy the contact and a chance to exchange ideas, you’ll be excited to discuss your dreams for the future with them. And their feedback will help you! Not only is this a social month ahead, it’s a time where you feel connected to your goals. You’re very future-oriented. Others can help you now, which is why you should encourage them to be in your life.

LIBRA SEPT 23-OCT 22 This is the only time of year when the Sun travels across the top of your chart acting like a spotlight on you, which is why others notice you more than usual. Since this lighting is flattering, you look unusually good to others, which is why you will likely be asked to take on increased responsibilities. (People think you’re the cat’s meow.) This is a good thing! Just say yes because you’ll be able to do the job. In addition, you’ll be thinking about your career, your reputation and your life direction in general. If you don’t know where

Wellness

you’re headed, how can you make important decisions? You would just be a chicken crossing the road – poultry in motion.

SCORPIO OCT 23-NOV 21 Life is taking on an exciting quality because you’ve decided it’s time to spread your wings! Many of you will have rewarding experiences by travelling somewhere new or learning new things or enjoying exciting adventures. You’re hungry to enrich your world. Do make an effort to travel, sign up for courses, go back to school, or put yourself in a situation where you will discover new ideas from people from different backgrounds. You want to break stagnant boundaries and free yourself from routine. You might also explore religious, spiritual and consciousness-raising ideas.

Even casual encounters could be profound.

Totally cool!

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 “The King was in his counting house, counting out his money. The Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.” This line from Sing a Song of Sixpence aptly describes your month ahead because your focus now turns to debt, taxes, inheritances, insurance matters and red-tape details. But that’s not all. Sweet sex will start to play a larger role in your life. (Woo-woo!)

However, in the bigger picture, you are on a self-improvement kick.

You’re trying to clean up your act so you can be a better person. You might even meet a teacher or someone who provokes self-inquiry or challenges your values.

(We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.)

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 For the next four weeks, the Sun will be directly opposite your sign, which means it’s as far away from you as it will get all year. Since the Sun is your source of energy, this means you’re going to need more sleep. Factoid. Recognize your need for this and try to get more rest.

Another thing this opposing Sun will do is draw your attention to

your closest friendships and partnerships. Not only will you give them more thought, you’ll have a chance to observe yourself in action, which is why the next month is an opportunity for you to see how to improve these close relationships, whether you’re in bed or not.

(Yawn.)

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 Oh my! Busy you! You’ve decided it’s time to get a little closer to perfection. This is why your month ahead will be full of To Do lists as you try your best to be as efficient, effective and productive as possible.

You want to get things done! You want to feel more in control and on top of your scene. In addition, you want to feel healthier. You want to eat better, sleep better and get exercise and, of course, all this will be done in a home that is tidier.

You might not alphabetize your CDs but you’re headed in that direction.

You’ll feel so pleased with yourself when you live up to these new standards of self-control and self-discipline.

(Let’s call this your smug month.)

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 Tra-la, tra-la! It is to laugh. As the Sun shifts signs this week, it welcomes one of the most fun months of the year for you. That’s why the next four-to-six weeks are all about love, romance, social tête-à-têtes, parties, sports events, fun vacation escapes, and playful times with children. It’s your turn to kick up your heels, let your hair down and paint the town red! Naturally, you’re going to need a supporting cast for all this and no doubt they will materialize. Lovers, running mates, friends and creative, artistic contacts will appear to give you so many thrilling experiences, it will be regrettable that you can’t write them down in your diary. Who has time? Enjoy!
