Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Fur Flies Whether for meat or for fur (“Bunny Tale,� April 3), utilizing the byproduct normalizes the fur culture. The message of this bill is for the state to denounce support of this unethical industry and prevent reason for fur sales. Excluding rabbit fur from the bill would not be congruent with the values of the majority of California's constituents. This statewide majority far outweighs the values of the one small Northern California district represented

by Assemblyman Levine. Levin's spokesperson states: "Assemblymember Levine supports maintaining the highest ethical standards for the production of legal animal products in California." If it is agreed by the majority that the fur industry is unethical then Mr. Levin must acknowledge all animals regardless of how the byproducts are used.

Rabbits are the most abused animals on the planet. Exploited not only for

THIS MODERN WORLD

their flesh and fur, they are victimized in research, used as bait and live food for other animals, and even as "pets," they are often neglected and abandoned resulting in them being the third most euthanized animal in American Shelters. Exempting them from the meager protection of not being skinned alive in order to take their fur is a slap in the face to those of us who value them as the clean quiet engaging and affectionate companions they are.

The photo in this article makes my

By Tom Tomorrow

heart bleed for those poor babies stuffed into wire bottom cages so small they can barely turn around without a piece of hay (which should make up 80 percent of their diet) or anything to do but await their gruesome fate. The only consolation is that they are killed very young; at about four months of age. Escaping their suffering only in a cruel and violent death.

As a regular shopper at the Marin County Farmers Market where Mr. Pasternak peddles his wares and I buy much of my food and the greens my bunnies enjoy daily, I refuse to go anywhere near his booth. Seeing the dead bodies, skins and other bits of of animals I regard as cherished family members breaks my heart. People who love their dogs and cats should be able to relate; just imagine seeing your German shepherd's cousin turned into a fur bikini.

The evisceration of a bill that would make history for all fur-bearing animals being tortured and killed for their skins by Levine may very well die a painful death at his hands. The animal advocate community can see that the exclusion of rabbits will certainly lead to a monopoly on their skins as they will be the only fur available and have come out in mass in opposition to this exclusion. Even if the skins are supposed to be only from animals killed for their flesh, there is simply no way of regulating the origin of the pelts and will certainly result in an increase the number of rabbits raised and killed for either or both and be a boon for the people who produce them.

I wish everyone reading this would call member Levine's office and ask him to represent his entire district, not just a single constituent and withdraw this ill fated request.

Will Carruthers, thank you for taking

Rants First, I would like to clarify that SaveABunny is not an animal rights group. We are a 501c3 nonprofit rescue and advocacy group that provides an invaluable, community service.

While some individuals who volunteer for this group may be involved with animal rights groups, the majority of our supporters are families who have adopted rabbits as treasured members of their family.

We work with over 30 animal shelters and have rescued 5,000 rabbits since 1999.

We provide an invaluable, life-giving and positive service to California and receive no government funding. We are a grassroots, primarily volunteer-based group.

Unlike Mark Pasternack, we do not have a paid lobbyist or a politician working on our behalf.

The photo of rabbits in this article are living in painful, cruel conditions while they wait to die. They are the exact same breed and species you can adopt from your local shelter or a rescue group as a pet. Any rabbit can be called a meat rabbit for convenience. The rabbits in the photo are also babies and juveniles. What you see is the equivalent of immobilizing veal crates for rabbits.

Rabbits are as intelligent as cats and dogs. Their basic needs to be able to move freely and exercise is not given.

Additionally, they are living on hard wire cages which routinely cut into their feet leaving deep, stabbing wounds that go untreated.

For whatever reason people do not understand rabbits. It is a romantic notion to them that a farmer wants to raise and slaughter baby bunnies for profit.

What is the benefit to the community at large of rabbit farming?

Pasternak himself exhibits how there

will be increased rabbit farming when he says he sold a trio of breeder rabbits to someone. What is the business arrangement for this and who does it benefit?

If California truly wants to be a fur free state rabbits should be included and protected in the ban. Otherwise, it is hypocritical and serves a very small group of people who will make a lot of money.

We would appreciate the opportunity for you to do a follow up on rabbits as companions in the state of California.

In the US, rabbits are the 4th most popular pet with over 3 millions homes living with companion rabbits. Even Vice President Mike Pence lives with a pet rabbit, so rabbits as pets is hardly a fringe idea and lifestyle.

Thank you again for your time and consideration of the points I have raised.

MARCY BERMAN (NOT SCHAAF)

Founder and Executive Director, SaveABunny

Rabbits are loved and cherished by so many people who have them as beloved pets in their homes. For Marc Levine to dismiss this for the sake of just one constituent who even admits he will not go broke if rabbits are included in the fur ban is absolutely ludicrous.

Rabbits are considered pets by so many and live in peoples’ homes. They are so lovable and deserving of protection yet in 2019 are still being classified as poultry and livestock and given no protection whatsoever. Please do not let a few rabbit farmers’ greed for profit dictate the fate of these beautiful, gentle, loving animals.

f it doesn’t feel like spring has arrived by April 18, the team at Gravenstein Grill will darn well bring it when they host 24 Sonoma County wineries for a walkaround tasting of the season’s new crop of pink wines.

“When springtime comes, we think about freshness,” says Chris Sawyer, sommelier and partner at the Sebastopol restaurant. “And these are our greatest expressions of fresh wines we have.” Don’t date yourself by thinking rosés are sweet.

These are not the simple, dulcet wines of decades past, he says.

Vintners are certainly not bashful about their blush. Hoping for a few representative samples of the April 18 tasting, we received an embarrassment of rosé riches:

Alexandro “Guapely” Lopez channels his experiences in Santa Rosa into his music.

Is Hip Hop welcome in Wine Country? BY MICHAEL BARNES

A

lexandro Lopez was attending elementary school in 2009 when his father introduced him to the music of the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Lopez was immediately drawn to Shakur and now the 21-year-old Santa Rosa native is a hip-hop artist himself who goes by Guapely.

“English was always my strong suit in school” says Lopez, who graduated from a Santa Rosa High School. “I was into poetry before I started rapping.”

Guapely is part of a vibrant and Latino cultural scene that’s grounded in southwest Santa Rosa. After the 2017 wildfires it’s easy to notice the

volume of people leaving cmore affordable housing or better jobs (some 7,000 people are estimated to have the county after the fires), but what’s not so easy to see are the people who have chosen to say—or who have no choice but to stay.

Guapely has put down roots in a county that’s not generally considered a beacon of upward mobility or a hub of cultural diversity.

He channels the experiences of the 24 percent of Sonoma County who identify as Latino, and anyone else who might enjoy hip-hop music.

But is Wine Country ready to enjoy Guapley’s brand of hip-hop?

“It’s a challenge to reach the market I want to reach,” says Lopez.

“Sonoma County is very strict about working with hip-hop artists who want to reach out to local schools. I

feel like the city is fearful that hiphop will bring a negative image to the community. But when you look at the artists in Santa Rosa, a lot of the rappers are speaking about positivity.”

As a student, Lopez turned poetry into his first rap song, which he recorded on a flip-phone. His stepfather was impressed and bought some recording equipment for Lopez, who used the new gear to release his debut CD in 2012 while he was still a student.

“I started selling my music in middle school, and sold more at Elsie Allen [High School] in Santa Rosa.

I made back all the money I spent on my CDs. That was a good feeling, and that’s when I started investing in myself with flyers and an in-home studio.”

Street Rhymes

Small City, Big Dreams

Lopez says he reached out to the Santa Rosa City Schools district with the hopes of speaking to and performing for students, something he says he’s done for school’s in Fresno, Los Angeles and Richmond.

The homegrown rapper says he was given the runaround by the city and the school district.

“The city kept sending me to the school district, and every time I reached out to them, they never responded back. I would walk into local schools and speak to the principals, who would send me over to the district,” he says.

This bureaucratic back-and-forth led Lopez to believe that hip-hop artists are viewed negatively in Sonoma County—and says it’s a factor that explains why local artists ) 12 leave for greener pastures.

NORTH BAY BOH EMIAN | AP R I L 1 0 -1 6, 20 19 | BO H E M I AN.COM

12 Hip Hop ( 11 “I even see artists moving to Vallejo because they feel so limited in what they can accomplish here. It gives artists a helpless feeling when their community doesn’t back them,” he says. “Sonoma County is one of the hardest communities to realize your dreams.”

The school district says it has no record of conversations with Lopez about performing. "We have no information that any of our schools have told Alejandro Lopez anything about performing,” says district spokesperson Beth Berk. “If he had applied to use our school facilities, we would have that record at the district. We can tell you that Latino families are valued members of our school community, and Latino culture is embraced in countless ways in our schools.”

The sentiment is echoed by the city, which adds that it has been supportive of hip-hop events.

“The city of Santa Rosa welcomes opportunities that bring diversity in arts and culture to our community,” says spokeswoman Adriane Mertens, “and through programs funded by the Santa Rosa Tourism Business Improvement Area, has consistently provided support to events and programs that include hip-hop artists, along with a range of other musical genres and art forms.”

But Guapely still feels shut out. He recently organized a free art show in southwest Santa Rosa, in part to counteract what he sees as the negative perception of the hip-hop scene. The rapper is planning more community events, as he invests his own money to create a space for artists to be seen and heard.

“Having a strong art and music culture will provide a financial boost for the city and even the wine industry because it will attract people who normally wouldn’t come here,” Lopez says.

He’d like to see the community create an easier path for local artists to express themselves by providing increased venue spaces at affordable rental rates.

“People ask me all the time what’s there to do [in Sonoma County] and all I can say is ‘go winetasting.’ I want to help change that,” he says. “I’m trying to build that here; that’s why

I’m still here. [But] when I reach out The city says it never intervened to certain venues in Sonoma County, to get the proposed hip hop-show they shy away from it. They just say canceled. “House of Rock was issued ‘we don’t do hip-hop events,’” he says. a conditional use permit by the city Lopez says he thought he found a of Santa Rosa for operation of an venue willing to work with him on a ‘entertainment assembly venue’ hip-hop festival he organized to take and music genre was not discussed place at Santa Rosa’s House Of Rock. during the permit approvals process,” He says he invested his own money says Mertens in a written statement. in securing a DJ and sound engineer, “Because the venue operator is the and says he booked the artists for the holder of an approved conditional event only to be forced to cancel. use permit, additional city approvals “At first, they were cool with it,” are not needed to book individual he says. “Then, all of the sudden the events and performances, and venue refunded city staff are not my deposit and involved in those told me that it was processes.” going be too much Danny Chaparro of a headache and is Roseland’s didn’t want to deal first Community with it.”

You hop show and then canceled.” don’t need to be in big cities anymore.

“Younger people who move away to bigger cities are a little more privileged to afford to start over in those places,” he says. “People don’t realize how to find the right resources in their own city to accomplish what they want.”

This summer, the Community Advisory Board will start a series of “neighborhood fests,” featuring community-based block parties.

Chaparro hopes these events can show local youth that instead of leaving to making moves elsewhere, they can stay in Santa Rosa and succeed here.

For a county in the midst of a massive rebuild, he says, the presence of an actively-engaged core of locals willing to help repair the foundation of the region is at a premium.

“It goes back to why I started Street Soldier,” he says. “To really be the change.”

Do Latino artists like Guapley face an uphill battle in Santa Rosa?

“I could see how a school wouldn’t want to take the blame for a kid going home and telling a parent about a hip-hop event,” Chaparo says, “and the parent asking: ‘Why they are letting the kids listen to that?’ I think it’s more real and authentic for schools to allow a local performer to come in and tell their story. We take the time to tell the kids what not to do, but we don’t take the time to understand why they are doing what they are doing.”

If schools are not allowing hiphop events it’s because they are about protecting, instead of about understanding, he says. “We need to understand where they are coming from instead of where the kids are going. In order for this community to be more united, we need to involve the youth.”

The problem isn’t the Latino kids or hip-hop artists like Guapely, he says—it’s the perception that they deal with in Wine Country. “This county has a big problem with truancies and it isn’t because these kids are out there gangbanging or anything like that. It’s that they just aren’t motivated because they have no one that looks like them, that came from where they did, providing inspiration for a different way.”

David has been involved with animals for most of his life.

Beginning with summers at his Great Grandparent’s farm in upstate New York, to his founding of The Lucky Dog Ranch, his first dog boarding and pet care facility, to Four Paws Pet Ranch, animals have always been a way of life. A true animal lover at heart, David grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and fish, among other critters. After 20 years in hi-tech David was looking for a way to get “back to nature”, and made the decision to follow his passion and start a “Home away from home” for pets needing a place to stay while their owners are away. His focus now is to provide excellent care for animals staying at both facilities in addition to overseeing Countryside Rescue a nonprofit animal rescue and adoption center located on the Four Paws property.

Q:How can I be sure that my pet will get adequate personal attention during the time I am gone?

A: All pets boarded at Four Paws Pet Ranch are directly supervised by the in-residence owners and our staff of handlers. Attendants are trained on how to handle the pets and give them daily personal attention on a regular basis.

Every pet is given the same consideration and care their owner would provide.

Q:Are the dogs exercised?

A: Sitting on over 5 acres we are all about your pet getting the exercise they need and enjoying the outdoors.

Arts Ideas Julian Billotte

BEAUTIFYING THE BARRACKS Assemblage artist and 33Arts resident since 2015,

Jessica Rasmussen shows off her studio, located in former soldiers’ quarters.

Lost and Found Former Santa Rosa military site hosts upcoming arts expo BY CHARLIE SWANSON

I

n west Santa Rosa, just south of the Joe Rodota Trail on the way out to Sebastopol, lays a largely forgotten piece of local history.

“It’s surprising how many native Santa Rosans don’t know about it,” says Julian Billotte.

He’s talking about the former Santa Rosa Naval Air Station, built during WWII, that today consists of a pair of two-story

barracks, a former ammunition bunker that once housed an infamous punk venue and has the remnants of an airstrip. From the outside, the two barracks look much like they did 60 years ago, but inside, art thrives. Building 32 has housed local artists as the Studio Santa Rosa since the 1980s, yet Building 33 went vacant for many years before Billotte and his wife, artist Anna Wiziarde, discovered, renovated and reopened the building five years

ago under the name 33Arts.

This isn’t Billotte and Wiziarde’s first time running an art space.

In fact, it’s not even the first time they’ve run a former military barrack-turned art building, as they’ve managed Arts Building 116 at Hunters Point Shipyard in San Francisco since 1997.

“The first time I brought my daughter up here, she said, ‘how did you find a shipyard in Santa Rosa?’” laughs Billotte. “It’s not on water, but this looks pretty much

the same; same color paint, same smell, same ladder that goes up and down the building.”

Moving to Sonoma County six years ago, Billotte says he was looking for a studio when a friend sent him the floor plan of Building 33. “It was totally dilapidated,” he says. After a year of cleanup, 33Arts was born in 2014, and it is now the home of some 30-plus artists who work in every kind of medium.

While 33Arts typically does only one big show a year, it and Studio Santa Rosa will host one of the season’s biggest art outings when the Santa Rosa Out There Exposition takes over the grounds on Saturday, April 13, for a variety of arts and performance offerings.

Among the highlights of the expo will be The Lost Church hosting a lineup of local musical acts, the North Bay Cabaret’s variety of performers, loads of local food trucks and many exhibiting artists.

“We’re happy to be working with the heart of the Santa Rosa art scene,” says Billotte.

One of the expo’s art shows will happen in 33Arts Map Room Gallery, named for the floor-toceiling map of 1940s Los Angeles hung on the wall by the military, once hidden under layers of paint.

Several 33Arts studios will be open, and Billotte will display works from his gilding and frame restoration studio, Capricho Framing.

“It’s such a great community that’s sprouted up around us renting these spaces,” says Wiziarde. “We’ve encountered so many great artists and great people, and people are happy that they can have an affordable art studio.”

The Out There Exposition happens Saturday, April 13, at 33Arts and Studio Santa Rosa, 3840 Finley Ave, Santa Rosa. 1pm to 7pm. Free.

Rebecca, owner of Bikram Yoga Santa Rosa, grew up in Sebastopol, California. She has a degree in Kinesiology and Psychology. Her passion is fitness, nutrition, and health.

Rebecca enjoys swimming, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, kiteboarding, etc… sports of all kinds.

After destroying her left knee joint from overuse, a friend introduced her to Bikram Yoga. She was amazed at what practicing Bikram Yoga did for her body. Her knee joint slowly became stronger and stopped throbbing with pain. Her body’s alignment, posture, balance, and strength improved incredibly. Her athletic abilities greatly increased in all of the sports she plays. As long as she does Bikram Yoga three or more times per week, her knee stays strong and can take the impact of running, mountain biking, etc… With regular Bikram Yoga practice, Rebecca also noticed that her stress level began to decrease and she was able to sleep better at night. Rebecca has practiced Bikram Yoga for over 15 years now. She practiced through most of her pregnancy with twins. She is now a mom with 4.5 year old boy/girl twins and the local small business owner of Bikram Yoga Santa Rosa.

She has seen how much Bikram Yoga has helped not only herself, but everyone who practices around her. She has seen those of all ages, sizes, and abilities benefit greatly from a regular Bikram Yoga practice. She has seen so many students transform their bodies, and reduce aches and pains. Bikram Yoga improves strength, endurance, flexibility, posture, and balance. It also reduces stress, anxiety, and pain. And of course, there’s the weight loss. The average student burns 750 calories in each session. It’s tough, but the benefits are many. You don’t have to be an athlete to participate in Bikram Yoga. People of all ages and fitness levels can benefit greatly from the classes. Each student is encouraged to proceed at his or her own pace.

Rebecca went to a 500 hour Bikram Yoga teacher training in April 2010. She absolutely loves teaching Bikram Yoga and motivating students to stay healthy and strong.

by Juba (mollie boice), a midwife and a woman of unerring common sense, Harlan (Elijah Pinkham), a true mountain man who’s just buried his wife and sister (they are the same person), and Cora (Miranda Jane Williams), the mother to Harlan’s infant daughter who wishes to be Harlan’s wife.

The role of religion in society and the fuzzy line that separates superstition’s “charms and spells” from organized religion’s garments and practices makes for a very interesting drama under the co-direction of John and Elizabeth Craven with Bordi and Pinkham doing particularly fine character work among an excellent cast.

Rating (out of 5): HHHH

od takes center stage in two North Bay productions running through April 14.

Sebastopol’s Main Stage West transports you to 1840 and an Appalachian Heathen Valley while Petaluma’s Cinnabar Theater takes you on a passage to India in search of A Perfect Ganesh.

The elephant-headed Hindu god of wisdom, success and good luck serves as the narrator in Terrence McNally’s A Perfect Ganesh.

Director Michael Fontaine reteams with performers Elly Lichenstein and Laura Jorgensen to remount a production they first did at Cinnabar 19 years ago.

Margaret Civil (Jorgensen) and Katharine Byrne (Lichenstein) are best friends who don’t really like each other. Trading in their usual two weeks of shared vacation in the Caribbean for a tour of India, these two ladies have issues— issues with the world, issues with each other and issues with themselves. Ganesha (Heren Patel), the “remover of obstacles,” does his best to assist the ladies in overcoming their own.

Jorgensen and Lichenstein play well off of each other. John Browning’s work as every male character they meet along the way is quite entertaining and Patel’s Ganesha is a warm and welcoming figure, though his ornate headgear often led to muffled dialogue.

This play’s greatest obstacle is McNally’s script, which is overwritten and overlong. HHH

Heathen Valley is referred to in the play as “the land that forgot God” and an Episcopal Bishop (John Craven) is determined to correct that by bringing God to the North Carolina mountain community.

The "violent, carnal and heathen" locals are represented

‘Heathen Valley’ runs through April 14 at Main Stage West, 104 N. Main St., Sebastopol. Thu–Sat, 8pm; Sunday, 5pm. $15–$30. 707.823.0177. ‘A Perfect Ganesh’ runs through April 14 at Cinnabar Theater, 3333 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. Fri–Sat, 8pm; Sun, 2pm. $15–$30. 707.763.8920.

For the week of April 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Qing Dynasty controlled China from the mid-seventeenth century to the early twentieth century. It was the fifth biggest empire in world history. But eventually it faded, as all mighty regimes do. Revolution came in 1911, forcing the last emperor to abdicate and giving birth to the Republic of China. I'm inclined to think of your life in 2019 as having some similarities to that transition.

It's the end of one era and the beginning of another; a changing of the guard and a passing of the torch. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to be very active in deciding and visualizing the empire you want next.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope that

sometime soon you'll acquire a new source of support or inspiration. Now is a phase of your astrological cycle when you're likely to attract influences that are in alignment with your deep values. This addition might be a person or animal. It could be a vibrant symbol or useful tool. It may even be a fantasy character or departed ancestor that will stimulate vitality you haven’t been able to summon on your own. Be on the lookout for this enhancement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet David Hinton analyzed the Chinese word for "poetry." Its etymological meaning is "words spoken at the fertility altar." Let's make that your theme, even if you don't write or read poetry. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to take a vow or utter a solemn intention in front of a homemade fertility altar. The oath you speak might express a desire to boost your use of your physical vitality: your lust for life, your adoration of the natural world, or your power to produce new human life. Or your vow to foster your fertility could be more metaphorical and symbolic in nature: the imaginative intimacy you will explore or the creativity you'll express in future works of art or the generous effects you want to have on the world.

Milne was the son of author A. A. Milne, who wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. He said there are two ways to navigate through life. Either you "take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it." So in his view, "There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push." I'm hoping that in the coming weeks and months, you will make a delighted commitment to the first option: taking a bearing on something in the future and steering towards it. I think that approach will inspire you toward the most interesting success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The national animal of Finland

is the brown bear. The national insect is the ladybug and the national instrument is a stringed instrument known as the kantele. As for the national author, it's Aleksis Kivi, who produced just one novel that took him ten years to write. He also published a short collection of odes and a few plays, adding up to a grand total of less than 800 pages of work. I think that the efforts you make in the coming weeks could have a disproportionately large impact, as well, Leo. What you lack in quantity will be irrelevant compared to the sheer quality you generate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I follow the blogger

BY ROB BREZSNY

interesting togetherness as it does to wrestle with the problems that togetherness brings. You need just as much bravura and panache to explore the sweet mysteries of intimacy as you do to explore the achy mysteries of intimacy. Keep these thoughts in mind as you marshal your audacity to deepen and expand your best relationships in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The literal meaning

of the French term jolie-laide is "pretty and ugly."

Bloggers at wordsnquotes.com define it as follows: "It's a fascinating quirkiness that's irresistible, like a face you want to keep looking at even if you can't decide whether it is beautiful or not." Jolie-laide overlaps with the Japanese term wabi-sabi, which describes a person or thing that is lovely because of its imperfection and incompleteness. I bring these facts to your attention because I think you have extraordinary potential to be a master embodier of both *jolie-laide* and *wabi-sabi* in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As Czech

playwright Vaclav Havel (1936–2011) matured, he became a political dissident who opposed the Soviet Union's authoritarian grip on his country. Eventually he was a key player in the Velvet Revolution that banished Communism. When Czechoslovakia emerged as a new democracy, its people elected him president.

Havel later thanked Lou Reed and the band the Velvet Underground for fully awakening his liberationist leadership. He said their unruly music stoked his longing to establish a culture where total creative freedom was possible. I mention this, Sagittarius, because now is a favorable time to identify the music or art or films or literature that might fuel your emancipation in the coming months.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author J. R. R. Tolkien toiled on his masterpiece The Lord of the Rings for twelve years. Once he finished, it wasn't published for more than five years.

So seventeen years passed between the time he launched his precious project and the time when it reached an audience. I don't think you will need that much patience in shepherding your own venture to full expression, Capricorn. But I hope you'll summon as much faith in yourself as Tolkien had to rouse in himself. To do so will bring out the best in you!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Released in 1998,

The Prince of Egypt is an animated film that tells the story of the Hebrew prophet Moses. In the climactic event, the hero uses magic to part the waters of the Red Sea, allowing his people to run across the sea floor and escape the army that's chasing them. To make that seven-minute scene, 28 professional animators labored for 318,000 hours. In the coming months, you could create your own version of that marvel, Aquarius.

But you'll need a team to help you, and that team is not yet ready to go. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get it ready, though.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean businessman Steve Jobs testified that taking LSD was "one of the two or three most important things" he ever did in his life. It opened his mind in ways he felt were crucial to his development. What are the three most important things you've ever done, Pisces? I invite you to revisit at least one of them, and see if you can take it to the next step of its power to inspire you. What if it has even more to offer you in your efforts to become the person you want to be?

Evanescent Voyager because she makes me cry with sad joy and exultant poignance on a regular basis. One of her other fans wrote her a love note I could have written myself. It said, "Your emotional brilliance and thoughtful passion break me into pieces and then weave me back together with more coherence than I had before reading you. I revere your alchemical talent for undoing me so you can heal me; for lowering my defenses so I can be open to your riches; for demolishing my habitual trance so you can awaken my sleeping genius." I believe that in the coming weeks, life itself will offer to perform these same services for you, Virgo. I urge you to accept!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "Love is no assignment for cowards." That's a quote attributed to the ancient Roman poet Ovid. What did he mean? Was he foreshadowing the wisdom of pop singer Pat Benatar, who in 1983 told us, "Love is a battlefield"? Was Ovid implying that to succeed in the amorous arts we must be heroic warriors prepared to overcome fears and risk psychological dangers? Probably. But I will also point out that it takes as much courage to create fun,
