‘Dirty’ cruise ships win big ruise ships are in hot water — or, rather, dirty air — again with James Bay residents, as the second-annual Dirty Air Cruise Ship of the Year Awards were announced this week.

The awards, sternly handDANIELLE ed out by the James Bay POPE Neighbourhood Association news@ (JBNA), are pinned on those mondaymag.com tourist-dollar filled boats that bring with them a penchant for high levels of sulphur dioxide (SO2). Winners were chosen from raw data readings taken throughout 2012 from the SO2 monitoring station in James Bay. The big scorer in the 2012 Individual Ship category is the Carnival Spirit, that was associated with a one-hour SO2 level above the 35 parts per billion (ppb), cited with creating moderate health risks for those sensitive to SO2, after the North American Emission Control Area (ECA) standards came into effect on Aug. 1, 2012.

The 2012 Team Category award goes to Westerdam and Golden Princess, two of three ships associated with scoring the highest recorded SO2 levels in 2012 (exceeding 2011 levels), and exceeding World Health Organization guidelines.

While JBNA representatives say the overall air quality rated better than in 2011, it is still not at sufficient levels to be safe for residents, especially those suffering from asthematic conditions.

“I don’t believe we should have anyone creating this type of pollution and expecting other people to absorb it,” says Marg Gardiner, JBNA president.

“The cruise industries are not being good global citizens and they need to know they will be monitored.”

MONDAY SAYS A FEHR GOODBYE

Our hats are held to our chests this week, as long-time Monday Art Director Bob Fehr met his final deadline last Tuesday.

Fehr, better known as the man responsible for that classic logo we still know as Monday and the look and design of the product up until the mid2000s, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in May 2012. He died on Tues., May 21. Fehr leaves behind Lorna MacDonald, his partner of 39 years, their sons Alastair and Callum and much loved dog, Jet. Fehr joined the paper in its earliest days, working aside Monday founders Gene Miller, Andrew Lynch and George Heffelfinger.

once got into an argument with a teacher in kindergarten about the correct spelling of my name.

My mother had lovingly taught me how to shape the letters all in important capitals, and when the teacher told me D-A-N-I was not, in fact, how one scribes a name, and that lower case was the proper format, I paid little attention — at least for a while.

Over time, convention (or perhaps my mother’s insistence that, yes, the teacher was being truthful) convinced me to slowly accept the lowercase alphabet. But sometimes, just for DANIELLE POPE spite, the fiery five-year-old in me still scrawls out that CAPITAL signature in news@mondaymag.com bold, possessive letters.

I shouldn’t have been so surprised, then, that a little thrill shot through my stomach last week when the WSÁNEC First Nations wrote to the B.C.’s Geographic Names Office to officially request the restoration of the indigenous name PKOLS to the promontory of land we currently dub as Mount Doug. And with a day of action having taken indigenous and non-indigenous residents for a march to the summit on May 22, it’s clear there are more than a few who feel the weight of a chosen moniker.

It isn’t always easy standing for change, though. Surely, some people will look at PKOLS — pronounced “p’cawls,” not “pickles” — and tilt their heads in confusion, trying to see if a stray vowel may have fallen from the sign. But the word, which can be translated as “White Rock” or “White Head,” reflects a lot more than convention: it stems from the Indigenous oral history of the area. Stories of PKOLS, I’m told, go back to nearly the beginning of time for the WSÁNEC (Saanich) people. Historically, it has been an important meeting place, and geological findings indicate that it was the last place glaciers receded from the southern Island.

“This is something that our elders have been calling for, for many, many years — to bring back the names we have always used to where they belong,” says WSÁNEC First Nations hereditary chief WEC’KINEM (Eric Pelkey).

Mount Douglas has become an institution of local enjoyment to college students and athletes, geologists and tourists, but the land also marks a moment in history when, as Pelkey tells, James Douglas and his men met with WSÁNEC chiefs at the summit to discuss a treaty between the local peoples and the newcomers. Outnumbered by WSÁNEC warriors, Douglas offered blankets and money, and the eventual signing of the Douglas Treaty was understood to be a promise that the WSÁNEC people would not be interfered with. A promise, Pelkey says, that has since been broken.

Luckily, with over 25 organizations and figureheads standing beside the request — like AIDS Vancouver Island, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club of B.C., University of Victoria Indigenous Governance Program, Victoria Idle No More and others — a new promise could be made. And though that promise might look more symbolic than anything, there’s a lot of power in those capitals. M

She began to hear a lot about GNAs around the VIHA sought out representatives from Fernwood Community time of the closure of the Cormorant needle exchange in 2008.

Pauly says there are two major downsides to current Good Neighbour Agreements. First, they are made without any — or with minimal — input from those who use the services. Second, they play out in a way that restricts health services by valuing what a community thinks it wants over the health of the population.

People who access services are often left out of the conversation when it comes to Good Neighbour Agreements.

“The very group of people who often have the least power and resources are left out of the discussion and decision making, which gives the power of what’s in a GNA to people with the most power,” Pauly says.

When asked if part of the problem was that those accessing harm reduction services were not playing a more active role in public forums, Pauly says, “When you go to these discussions, you hear people stereotype inaccurate representations.

You can imagine if you’re someone who’s going to use those services and that’s how they’re talking about you, and there are no ground rules, no facilitation, it actually is traumatizing,” she says. “People will actually say ‘It’s harmful for me to participate in these discussions.’ While you can look at it on the surface and say ‘How come they’re not there?’ I think all of us, in our everyday life, don’t put ourselves in situations that are harmful and traumatizing.”

According to Pauly, there are effective guidelines for full community participation via the “Nothing About Us Without Us” manifesto on SOLID’s website: solidvictoria.org/links.

As for the problem of communities deciding what health service is needed, Pauly says, “The question isn’t, ‘Should we put it [a harm reduction site] in this place?’ The question is, ‘We are putting it in this place because we The Richard and Margaret Beck know this is a good location for it. How do we inform the community Since 1988 the Beck Lectures have brought a wide variety of speakers to UVic to talk about Iceland, its people, and their language, literature, and culture - both modern and medieval.

Mount Doug no more: reclaiming PKOLS ver 160 years ago, a 14-year-old boy was travelling through the Camosun area — then a shortcut to the villages of the WSANEC and Songhees — to deliver news of James Douglas’ arrival on the east coast of the island.

On the way, the boy was shot and killed by a farmer. The response from local indigenous groups was swift — cornered and hopelessSIMON ly outnumbered at the top of a mountain, NATTRASS Douglas offered a truce. “The Douglas treaties snattrass@ were peace treaties,” says WSANEC heredimondaymag.com tary chief Kevin Paul. “There is no land treaty.”

Nevertheless, that day went down in written history as the day Sir James Douglas bought Victoria, and Mount Doug was named in his honour.

It is disappointing activists choose to misrepresent an important business in B.C.; one that employs thousands, is our largest agricultural export and provides seafood for a growing population while helping to conserve wild salmon stocks. I remain confident there are many viewers who retain their ability to think critically and want to test the accuracy of this film’s claims. To learn more, visit SalmonFarmers.org.

I was really disappointed in this election, so reform sounds fantastic.

ment, speakers at last week’s event made it clear that they aren’t seeking permission to reclaim their history. “We are drawing attention to the fact that we never gave up our rights to that land,” says Paul, “nor were we consulted when the old name was paved over.”

Despite The Capital’s proud history of violent opposition to even the smallest change in our lifestyle, there was nothing adversarial about last week’s celebration atop PKOLS. “There are a lot of things that our people have to be mad about,” says Paul, “but instead of the oppressed becoming the oppressor, something inclusive was done on that day.” This action hints at the work still required to stall the ongoing process of colonization. The patchwork of planned pipelines, the logging of the Juan De Fuca Trail by developer-turnedindustrialist Ender Ilkay, the coal mine recently delayed in the Comox Valley — these are the visceral effects of the same force that saw fit to name PKOLS after its herald.

A name reflects what we choose to honour as a region and as a society. PKOLS was and is a sacred place, steeped in magic and tradition. Sir James Douglas was a liar and a bigot whose life’s work laid the foundation for 150 years of injustice. Ask yourself: which name will you choose? M

CORRECTION In last week's guest editorial, “Infrastructure Enthusiasts Take Note,” it stated the old Johnson Street Bridge is being torn down to make way for a new one. In fact, the new bridge is going in a new location, and the old bridge will remain until the new one is open. Also, the provincial government isn't a funder of the bridge replacement project.

Both the municipal and federal governments are major funders.

ROOTS, REGGAE, REBELS

ROCKY MOUNTAIN REBEL MUSIC MAKES A STAND — MUSICALLY AND POLITICALLY n a misty fall day in Victoria, music swoops over the downtown harbour.

A cluster of musicians jump around a stage, bouncing between laid-back reggae jams with burbling keys, and blistering punk riots. The crowd responds to every stylistic switch, swaying to the beat one second, swirling in a circle pit the next. This sounds like a sweet concert, but it’s actually a political rally. Legions of Victorians spent all day protesting the Enbridge Pipeline in front of the provincial legislature, and now they’re dancing to one of Victoria’s most energetic acts: Rocky Mountain Rebel Music.

like everything went wrong,” continues Horwood. “But as the show progressed, the crowd was so stoked and dancing and singing. It was incredible.”

REMODELLING, REVISING AND RECORDING

The band now stands in a period of transition. In 2011, vocalist Niska Napolean moved to Vancouver to explore a solo career. Then this past winter, bass player Eric Wickman and keyboardist Martin Schoeps left to focus on their other band, Everybody Left. To make matters worse, original drummer Simon Bailey left to teach in Vietnam. “We love all of our past members,” says Szabo. “But they had new time-consuming changes in their lives.”

The band’s current lineup features bassist Fred Burgess, and drummer Dana Tower.

The band was formed in 2008 by vocalist “The biggest difference with this album Andrew Murgatroyd, guitarist/vocalist Greg is that it was [recorded] live off the floor,” Szabo, and guitarist Jesse Horwood.

aul Destrooper knows what it's like to be a tortured artist. Over the last six years as artistic director of Ballet Victoria, he’s battled underfunding and arts apathy, but that hasn’t stopped him from choreographing more than 30 new works, including his latest full-length ballet, based on the life of one of the most famously misunderstood artists, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Dancers become instruments in this ballet. A quill conducts a symphony, as Destrooper interprets Mozart’s life on the Royal Theatre stage May 30 and 31 at 7:30pm.

Principal dancers Andrea Bayne and Matthew Cluff will dance the lead roles with Bayne bringing her vocal talents to the stage as well. Even the music of Queen makes an appearance.

round this time last year, Heron Rock Bistro owners Ben Peterson and Andrew PAM GRANT Moffatt got the tip of a lifetime pamgrant@ from friends Steve Watson mondaymag.com and Gina Basra, who told them of a vacant space that they thought they should take a look at. If they had made any plans for the summer, they were quickly replaced.

Joining forces with a group of people that included chef Chris Bremner and Heron Rock’s Jason Butcher, they took it down to the studs and transformed what was once known as the KnockanBack Grill into a sleek new venue named the Crooked Goose Bistro. Just over six months later, it remains wildly popular with the local community as both a family-friendly eatery and the perfect spot to grab an individual pizza or wings with a drink as you watch a game.

Named for it’s proximity to the Galloping Goose Trail and the Wilkinson Road jail, what transpired is a casually elegant spot and the perfect reflection of Bremner’s culinary style. Menus truly have something for everyone; special dietary considerations are cheerfully handled, and in keeping with Moffat and Peterson’s tried and true motto of investing in the local community by serving really good food at reasonable prices, a meal here is delicious and excellent value.

I had considered going for brunch on the weekend, but even a few months after it opened, word was that it was difficult to get a table before 2 p.m., so one weeknight, I visited for dinner with a friend. We soon found out it wasn’t easy to make up our minds, but we appeased them and our palates with some ridiculously good frites and aioli

(using significant restraint to avoid the list of poutines available, I might add) as we pondered the menu. In the end, we decided we couldn’t do any better than the three-course menu offered that evening for $35, passing up the soup (cream of Portabello SUPPLIED and button m u s h ro o m s ) Grilled portabello burger at The Crooked Goose. to begin with a house salad of apples, grapes, toasted seeds and chewy lardons atop a bed of mixed local greens drizzled with a nicely balanced Dijon-shallot vinaigrette.

Each night, the fresh sheet offers a seafood option, and though we were tempted by the thought of a bowl of steaming mussels, halibut and jumbo prawns in a Thai basil and lemon infused broth, we opted for what turned out to be massive Fraser Valley pork chops, served with an emulsion of its juices sweetened with fresh figs, confit yams and grilled vegetables. For dessert, I enjoyed the chocolate torte, served with a coulis of berries and house made vanilla ice cream and Don had a classic creme brulee. “How was it everything?” enquired Basra as we ordered coffees to stave off the impending food comas.

“Terrible,” we replied in unison.

“Too bad you ate it all,” she noted to the apparent horror of the adjacent table, before we all laughed.

On our next visit, we shared an appetizer from the regular menu to begin. I had been thinking about the Bistro Platter, with cheese, house pâté, Capicolla, whole grain mustard, roasted garlic, mixed olives, house pickled vegetables and crostini, but I couldn’t get past the idea of chili marinated squid rings, which were lightly charred, served with sweet and sour radicchio and battered onion rings.

ade with an infusion of roots, herbs and oranges, vividly hued Aperol is reminiscent of Campari, but significantly less bitter and lower in alcohol. In fact, at 11 per cent, it is lower than most table wines, though the version sold in Germany has an alcohol content of 15 per cent to avoid German container deposit legislation regulations. Go figure.

Fashioned from bitter oranges, gentian (a signature ingredient in Angostura bitters that also calms the stomach after a night on the tiles) rhubarb and cinchona, it makes the perfect addition to the summer cocktail cabinet at approximately $22 a bottle. Make like a Venetian and try the classic Spritz — pour two parts Aperol, three parts Prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine) and one part soda over ice and garnish with a slice of orange, or enjoy a twist on the quintessential aperitif, the Negroni, made with equal parts sweet vermouth, gin and Aperol on the rocks (replace the gin with vodka for a Negroski).

Don’t forget Aperol when planning your summer table; it’s amazing splashed on fresh fruit salad and makes a truly mystifying ingredient in a palate tingling sorbet. People will talk. M

We continued with barbecued short ribs piled on a mound of cheddar mashed potatoes and roast sirloin of Peace Country lamb served with potato croquettes, served on a puree of peas and garden mint. This time, we were able to restrain ourselves from dessert. Barely.

One day, I will get up early enough to fight the locals for a table for brunch on the weekends, but it won’t be easy with dishes like hash featuring fried potatoes, Chorizo mushrooms, caramelized onions, aged white cheddar and fresh herbs with poached free run eggs, toast and Hollandaise sauce, or eggs Benedict served in classic fashion or customized with benny roasted tomato, goat's feta, arugula and basil or Gorgonzola, bacon and sautéed button mushroom. If you want something sweet, try cinnamon scented French toast, served with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Dishes from the regular lunch menu are also available, such as the Piggy Burger, with a local, slow-braised pulled pork patty slathered with bacon and smoked cheddar, or if you’re trying to be sensible, maybe a salad of local greens with goat feta, avocado, fennel and cilantro lime vinaigrette. Take the kids no matter what time you visit, because they have their own menu.

wanted to create my own version of the place where I was so happy.” When she got her hands on the current Makehouse space (833 ½ Fort), she received help from the Victoria community in the form of free furniture, yards of fabric, hundreds of vintage patterns, feathers, buttons, lace and other knick-knacks.

“I had to give away a lot of stuff when I left England, and it’s come back tenfold … Everything I have ever loved or learned is combined in this space. This is my dream job and I can’t believe I get to do this.”

Since last October, The Makehouse has expanded its workshop offerings to include activities such as painting, needle felting and even making your own fascinators. But Ambrose is especially excited about some new activities for the summer: the DIY Wedding workshops in June and the weekly creative summer camps for kids in July.

The DIY Wedding workshops will give future brides the possibility to plan and fabricate their own wedding items for “The Paper”, “The Look”, “The Details” and “The Memories.”

“I think people spend unnecessary money on weddings,” Ambrose explains, and these workshops are meant to save brides hundreds of dollars on things they can make themselves.

he description of the workshop on The Makehouse website gives fair warning: “making knickers is highly addictive!”

But, not deterred by the apparent danger of becoming an underwear-stitching junkie, I signed up for the three-hour activity.

I hadn’t touched a sewing machine in about 10 years, and I doubted that I had the proper skills.

But, as The Makehouse owner Jennifer Ambrose knows from years of teaching sewing, “a lot of people feel like they can’t. And then when you show them that they can, people get a real buzz from it.”

After creating my own pair of knickers, I felt proud, elated and yes, buzzed. There’s something special about seeing how such an ordinary item of clothing is constructed and then repeating the process yourself. “It’s about tapping in your own creativity, challenging yourself,” Ambrose tells me. And while my first creation is rather prosaic, I can definitely see the creative possibilities.

In the world of fast fashion and big-box stores, the art of making your own clothing (let alone your own underwear) is being lost faster than you can thread a sewing machine. But not for Ambrose: “My parents were both DIY people.

My mom did a lot of sewing; all my clothes were homemade or hand-me-downs. I spent a lot of time in her sewing room.”

After a few years designing and selling an eco-fashion label in London, England, Ambrose started giving workshops at The Makery in Bath, a sewing space similar to The Makehouse. “I was really happy with this job. I realized that I really loved being with people,” she says. When The Makery started giving workshops for kids and teenagers, Ambrose felt right at home: “It’s amazing spending your time with creative children, helping them learn to sew and seeing their ideas come to life. It’s so much fun to work with kids.”

After moving to Victoria, Jennifer decided to open her own Makery-inspired workshop: “I

Heavy metal thunder AND A PRETTY SILLY PLOT IN AN OTHERWISE WORTHY HOT ROD

By Robert Moyes arts@mondaymag.com

he original Fast & Furious was a great drive-in flick, and its tale of likable but criminally-inclined street racers doing a good job of outrunning the law has now spawned its fifth sequel.

The latter movies have retained the fun factor of the original but become increasingly grandiose — the last one involved a $100-million heist from a Brazilian drug lord — and F&F6 sets a new standard for wacky plotting and preposterous stunts.

In this outing, longtime FBI nemesis Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) offers Dom (Vin Diesel), Brian (Paul Walker) and all the crew full pardons if they help him take down an ex-military super-soldier named Shaw who has become a rogue villain specializing in “vehicular warfare.” His current target is technology that, in the wrong hands, can be made into a new type of bomb that can paralyze computer-based defences and communications – thus leaving an entire country utterly vulnerable to military attack. Adding to the angst, Dom’s true love (Michelle Rodriguez), once thought to be dead, seems to have joined forces with the nefarious Shaw.

And so the plot roars along, alternating

T

FAST & FURIOUS 6 ★★½ Directed by Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker PG 13 - 130 minutes • Continues at The Odeon, SilverCity and WestShore

between cheesy and electrifying. On the down side, the banter amongst Dom’s crew is right out of some bad film school’s course in Macho Dialogue 101, while the attempts to establish emotional resonance are tediously sentimental. But then come all those man-musk squirts of adrenaline in the form of chase and battle scenes, ranging from drag racing through the streets of nighttime London to army tank-versus-hot rod action on the highways of Spain.

And the elaborately staged climax — where Dom’s crew is pitted against a massive Russian transport plane that is roaring down the runway trying to achieve liftoff — merits applause for its silly bravado.

Although far too ludicrous to be taken seriously, F&F6 is nonetheless a worthy Hollywood hot rod, one customized with high-octane special effects, insane stunts, whiplash editing, and shockingly brutal girl-on-girl fights. It’s righteously silly fun, as grandpa used to say. M

ll Signs: Mercury and Venus in Cancer are starting to set the stage for Jupiter’s shift into Cancer at the end of the month.

This will be fortunate for all the Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) but most especially for Cancer. (Ya think?) The last time Jupiter was in Cancer was July 2001 to August 2002. Jupiter loves to be in Cancer and feels totally at home. This signifies a boost for real estate, gardening, food establishments and the rights of women, especially with respect to their home and family. Restaurants will flourish in the coming year, which makes me glad. I don’t cook – but I will butter my own bread.

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 This week continues with its stepped-up pace for Aries.

Fortunately, you have lots of energy for short trips, talking to others, reading, writing plus keeping busy with tasks and errands. You are starting to tackle repairs or initiate redecorating projects where you live, perhaps in anticipation of entertaining at home. Others might be redecorating because you’re thinking of selling where you live and indeed the coming year, perhaps the next 18 months, are one of the best times for real-estate deals for your sign since 2002. Meanwhile, fiery Mars sparks all your conversations and could trigger conflicts. Oops. That’s because you identify with your beliefs. (Oh well, don’t we all?)

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 Your money, cash flow and earnings are a big focus because you have a strong desire now for beautiful things. No doubt you will gratify this desire by shopping for something gorgeous. (Your sign has a true appreciation for antiques, collectibles and beautiful objects d’art. In fact, many of you own antique stores or secondhand shops.) Do be careful because your ego seems to be tied up right now with your possessions and assets. On the upside, you will be clever and quick to see ways to use your possessions to get things done. In the next few weeks, you will notice more beauty in your surroundings and you might also be surprised to discover just how much love there is in your daily world. Aw gee.

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 Your energy is increasing because not only are the Sun and Jupiter in your sign but now fiery Mars enters the picture.

(The last time Mars was in your sign was in July 2011. It visits every two years.) This will add juice to your energy for the next six weeks, which is why you might not notice that you are more aggressive, assertive and ready to defend yourself and others. (“You can’t talk to my friend like that!”)

Because Mars rules your muscles, this is an especially good time to get more physical exercise. Meanwhile, fair Venus could bring opportunities to boost your earnings. It will also make you want to buy little treasures for yourself and loved ones. Trust your money-making ideas because you’re full of them!

CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 You are still lying low, working alone or behind the scenes, which is why this is a good time to contemplate what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about.

However, Mercury and Venus are both dragging you from your lair and encouraging you to schmooze and talk to others. In fact, this week is an excellent time to make peace with others and do whatever you enjoy doing most. (Venus always ranked pleasure above work.) Naturally, Mercury urges you to express your point of view and tell others what you think about everything. Keep things light and entertaining because you’re getting ready to enter one of the most fun, fortunate years you’ve had in more than a decade.

LEO JULY 23-AUG 22 Your popularity is strong and getting stronger.

However, because you’re coming on like gangbusters, you might find yourself at odds with someone.

You might also be competitive with someone. Fortunately, physical activity with others (sports and workouts) will give you a chance to blow off some of this steam. Next month is an excellent time to formulate goals and begin to actively pursue them. Define what you want to achieve in the next two years; you are always more comfortable when you have a tangible goal in mind. Despite your busy activities, you will still enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings and a chance to meditate, cogitate, ruminate but hopefully, not fumigate.

VIRGO AUG 23-SEPT 22 The Sun continues to be high in your chart acting like a spotlight calling attention to you, especially from parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. (Do remember this includes the police.) Also remember this light is flattering so this is the perfect time to accept increased responsibilities or demand the advantage because, in the eyes of others, you’ll do well. (It’s smoke and mirrors.) Fortunately, because Mars is now crossing the top of your chart your ambition is aroused. This means you’re ready to impress others and accept what they have to offer. Caution about coming on so strong that bosses and co-workers feel threatened.

You want to call your own shots, and you want the credit.

Natch - who doesn’t?

LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Travel, publishing, higher education, the media and anything to do with medicine and the law continue to be a strong pull for you. Because Mars now joins the picture, you will be keen to expand your mind and your experiences in life through learning or travel. You might also find yourself in a position of defending your beliefs. Mars will make you convincing, which is why you will easily sway others to your way of thinking. Discussions with bosses and authority figures are likely and some of you might develop a crush on a VIP or your boss. Because you look so favourable to others, you will be asked for your creative input on something – design, layout, appearances – something.

(This, of course, is one of your big strengths.)

SCORPIO OCT 23-NOV 21 You can definitely benefit from the wealth and resources of others now because many Scorpios are receiving gifts, goodies and favours from people. They might also have the use of something others own. Just chalk this up to MONDAY MAGAZINE

your own good karma and say, “Thank you!” In some cases, fiery Mars could trigger disputes about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or anything you own jointly with others. Be cool. Don’t lose it. The upside is that Mars also heightens your sex drive for the next six weeks while Venus brings opportunities to travel for pleasure. (Now that’s a nice combo.) Look for ways to make money from publishing, medicine and the law. Ka-ching!

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22- DEC 21 You need more sleep now because the Sun, your source of energy, is as far away from your sign as it gets all year.

In addition, Mars is going to be sitting opposite your sign for the next six weeks stirring the pot with relationships because you might easily be annoyed with others. Just remember patience is the antidote to anger. And anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable, including you. The good news is that fair Venus stimulates your sexuality and attracts love and money to you. You can learn a lot about how you relate to others now. (Hey, you love learning, right?)

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 Although you have been gung ho to get better organized and keen to work hard, because Mars is changing signs this week you will be even more gung ho and more keen to accomplish as much as possible. Something will happen that gives you a chance to feel proud of what you do. Quite likely, you will work alone and if you’re lucky, you will be your own boss because you want credit for what you achieve now. (This is why you’re working so hard.) Others will help you so don’t be afraid to ask for assistance. Because of your shining example, partnerships will flourish. Others are impressed with your productivity. (Hey, hard work can be sexy, especially if you have to take your shirt off.)

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 It’s still fun and games for your sign. (Mom always liked you best.) Grab every opportunity to enjoy sports events, playful times with children, the arts, musical performances and, of course, a chance to slip away on a vacation. Your sex drive is amped and this influence of Mars could trigger new romance for some of you. (Mars and desire are closely linked.) This new romance could also be work-related. No matter where you turn, people will be attracted to you!

Athletic activities, especially competitive ones, will really appeal to you for the next few weeks. You want to show others you’ve got what it takes.

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 Your home and family life continues to be enriched with favourable influences. However, there might be trouble in paradise. Fiery Mars indicates the likelihood of increased activity and chaos at home, perhaps due to visiting guests but more likely due to repairs, renovations and redecorating projects or residential moves. Be patient with family members because peace and harmony are vital to everyone’s happiness. Discord will drain you in every aspect of your life.

Fortunately, this challenging influence is beautifully offset by sweet opportunities for romance, creative activities and a loving relationship with kids. You feel relaxed now because there’s no need to pretend to be what you are not.
