Actually, I heard you on the radio discussing gun control.

You explained, blandly, that states have proposed laws to allow college teachers to carry concealed weapons— as if that were a good idea. (“Sorry, Mr. Smith, but you failed English 101—say hello to my little friend!”) You then noted, as if it were an even better idea, that some states have considered allowing concealed weapons in ... churches. Gives a whole new meaning to confession: “Say 10 Hail Marys ... and don’t forget to duck!”

The piece, Eighty One, is a world premiere by choreographer Jessica Lang, set specifically for Ballet San Jose’s “R/Evolutionary” program to dovetail with Ciupinski’s

commissioned score. This week, on Wednesday, April 10, Ciupinski will demonstrate the technology and discuss the piece at the ZERO1 Garage in downtown San Jose.

For the uninitiated, the Theremin is a unique instrument, invented in 1928, that works by hand capacitance. That is, the two antennae pick up the player’s hand movements. One antenna converts the nearby movement to pitch, while the other converts the movement to amplitude. The player never touches the instrument. As a result, it’s easy to make spooky sciencefiction soundtracks but more difficult to play a melodic tune with any degree of accuracy.

Ciupinski, however, is using two Theremins in lieu of gestural MIDI controllers—which is to say, he’s not playing the Theremins as

musical instruments; rather, his hand movements are converted by the Theremins, with the audio then piped to MAX for Live, a hybrid of Ableton Live and MAX, an interactive graphic software environment for control signals. Together, they trigger or generate various components of Ciupinski’s electronic score.

Parts of the score are prerecorded, while others are generated organically by the software in real time. The dance, while carefully choreographed, also includes improvisational elements and timing cues for the score.

Likewise, while most of the music is precomposed on a macro level, Ciupinski will improvise parts of it on a micro level. As a result, the piece will always be slightly different for each performance. Ciupinski says the key is to maintain a balance between control and improvisation, between structure and variety.

“On many occasions, the dancers follow me, but I’m also following them, in a way,” he explained. “I’m looking for certain gestures, or certain phrases, and I’m synchronizing to them. And on a lot of occasions,

though, I’m responsible for triggering certain dance events, and the dancers are waiting for specific moments, where I can decide when I will trigger them. It’s a hybrid between a traditional piece, prerecorded, with live improvisation and some kind of undetermined events.”

For example, Ciupinski can move his hands in one particular way, the Theremin picks up the movement, and routes the audio to MAX for Live, which analyzes the signal in order to control anything Ciupinski wants. Or he can pull his right hand one way in order to alter the amount of reverb or pitch modulation the software applies to sounds organically generated by the signals converted from the movement of his other hand.

If he wants, he can even implement a system to control the stage lighting in real time, or use servo motors to regulate the water fountains in the lobby. Or he could put infrared sensors on the dancers’ bodies, or on the floor, and have the dancers interactively control and/or interface with the music.

All of which has been done before, but what’s totally new here is the use of two Theremins as gestural controllers.

Ciupinski says he did initial research into various sensor technologies, like the scenarios just mentioned, but he found Theremins to be more natural: no messy wires and no interference from other signals nearby.

“I thought about Theremins because they are very organic,” he said. “It’s not about how close is the certain surface of your hand, it’s more about how much flesh of your body is in the proximity of the antennas. And that feels way more organic. And it’s extremely sensitive as well. There’s just something very convenient about this setup.”

Last November, Ciupinski, who lives and works in New York, came to San Jose to rehearse the piece with the ballet. He and Lang worked through ideas, discussed options and now the world premiere is good to go. Start waving your hands.

Homebrew clubs are a diverse bunch, just like their members, yet each homebrew club has its own mission and philosophy reflecting its members’ passions for good beer. Derek Wolfgram, communications co-chair of Silicon Valley Sudzers, says, “Homebrew clubs have their own personalities: some are really technical or competition oriented; others are very social, basically beer drinking clubs— not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

Wolfgram 9I<N G8KIFC J`c`Zfe MXcc\p Jl[q\ij d\dY\ij gravitated to the ;\i\b Nfc]^iXd c\]k # B\`k_ DZBXp Z\ek\i Xe[ Kfd Sudzers after <XjkdXe d\k i\Z\ekcp Xk ?XiipÊj ?f]YiXl `e JXe Afj\% arriving in the South Bay in 2009: “I’ve always appreciated the way the Sudzers have balanced the educational aspect of learning about beer and brewing with the social activities.” Formed in 1997, the Sudzers are an active South Bay homebrew club, holding monthly meetings to share and receive feedback on homemade brews.

One such event is based on an idea from beer-industry pioneer Pete Slosberg in partnership with the East Bay’s Slow Hand BBQ restaurant. Several months ago, Slosberg and Slow Hand owner Dan Frengs invited Sudzers members to use Slow Hand’s smoker to create smoked malts but with a twist—malts were smoked with wood smoke and the aromas from a variety of smoking meats, like barbecue ribs, brisket and chicken. The resulting beers can be tasted Sunday at Slow Hand BBQ. A $35 ticket covers various barbecue meats and sides, and the opportunity to sample the six Sudzers-brewed beers made with the barbecue-smoked malts: Abbey Wit’ Smoke Witbier (with chicken- and bacon-smoked malt), Angry Leprechaun Irish Red Ale (with brisket-smoked malt), Lunch Meat Altbier (with rib-smoked malt), McSwinerson’s Scotch Ale (with rib-smoked malt), Smoke & Mirrors Porter (with brisket-smoked malt) and Smokin’ Wheat American Wheat (with chicken- and bacon-smoked malt).—Andy Lee Andy Lee

VULTURE SMILE Blank Club, San Jose Wed – 9pm; free According to Vulture Smile’s Facebook page, their manager is none other than Satan. Funny, I always assumed Satan would manage bands that sounded like Slayer or Sepultura, not a high-energy, jangle-pop quartet.

Still, there is a subtle darkness underlining what is mostly a happy sound. Vulture Smile deliver a weird combination of sunny twee-pop and sulking shoegaze, underlined by some sophisticated post-rock guitar work. Lead singer Ed Pereira punctuates this dichotomy by varying between restrained melodies and all-out screaming. They fit in nicely with

the growing scene of ’80s alt-rock revival bands in San Jose like the Trims and Turn Me On Dead. (AC)

KENNY SCHICK Blue Rock Shoot, Saratoga Fri-Sat – 7:30 and 10:30pm; $10 In 2009, longtime San Jose musician Kenny Schick (and his wife, Sabiné Heusler-Schick) started the company Basement3, which records and produces bands (not to mention helps out with photography and graphic design). Schick is, of course, the perfect person to record other people’s bands. He plays a million instruments and has been in a ton of completely different bands: Dot 3 (art-rock), Neosoreskin (circus-ska), Curveball (funk) and Dub Nation (reggae), plus he’s released five solo albums. His latest, Shuffle, which

comes out this weekend, is his first in six years. It’s really a collection of old unreleased tracks and new songs. The title is appropriate because the album swerves all over the map stylistically: Americana, post-punk, jazz, funk—the list goes on. It’s truly eclectic. (AC)

The Branham Lounge, San Jose Fri – 10pm; free

Studio 8 has been doing a Vegasstyle remodel, but now the club is ready to reopen. A big party has been planned for the occasion, with none other than DJ Pauly D—or for Jersey Shore fans, just plain ol’ Pauly D. He’s bringing the same fistpumping club music that he and the rest of the Jersey Shore crew used to get drunk to night after night.

When he’s not spinning tunes by other artists, he plays his own songs, like his 2010 single “Beat That Beat (It’s Time To).” He’s actually quite

Quality Control is all about the music, not the dress code or anything like that—just good diverse music. While a lot of DJs coast on style alone, Quality Control’s Mr. Choe plays every kind of music: classic rock, hip-hop, reggae, soul—and with plenty of mashups. Of course, anyone who’s familiar with Mr. Choe’s old hip-hop crew Poeticali Distherbd, won’t be surprised at the caliber of his talent as a DJ. He spun some stellar beats with them—a

INFM Streetlight Records, San Jose Sat – 5-8pm, performance at 7pm; free Since about the turn of the millennium, INFM have stayed true to the basics of three-piece punk with high-speed distorted guitar riffs, relentless beats, a healthy dollop of political awareness and nasal vocals. As a bonus, the band proudly represents its hometown, San Jose.

On their new album, Decayde, which they will unleash at this Streetlight event, INFM drops “San Jose,” a song that dumps Dionne Warwick and asserts instead that “San Jose, you are my promised land.”

The aural assault remains proudly intact—witness this exchange from the title song: “’So you’re telling me that after all these years of playing punk rock, you don’t want to change your style for a larger demographic?’

‘No, sir!’” (MSG)

LIGHTING THE WAY EmazingLights sells rave gloves that are light shows unto themselves.

Rave Candy CASHING IN on the nearly $5 billion dance-music industry, Southern California–based EmazingLights is expanding with a new Milpitas store catering to the EDM fans who fill some of the Bay Area’s largest venues. Simulating an EDM event, the store (which celebrated its grand opening last Friday) features blacked-out windows, a DJ station and a 2,000-square-foot hardwood dance floor.

Its walls are decked with fur boots, brightly covered tutus, gloves and original Tshirts reading “Legalize Gloving.”

But the shop is more than just a candy store for candy ravers. Despite what shop owners call a “growing gloving culture”—dancing with gloves with LED lights at the tips to create a personalized EmazingLights light show—event producers have banned the rave toys from events due to a stigma attached to drug use at events.

100 Dixon Road, EmazingLights founder and CEO Brian Lim hopes to change Milpitas that perception.

Insomniac, the largest producer of dance-music events in the 408.262.1600 United States, banned the gloves in 2010 after a 15-year-old girl died at the Electric Daisy Carnival festival, an event that draws more than 300,000 to Las Vegas each year. Lim—who sells the gloves for $20 to $80 at the store and online—says the art of gloving isn’t taken seriously by the promotions company. “It’s not just wiggling their fingers around,” Lim says.

“There are so many moves and combinations people can do. It’s really harmless fun, and I think Insomniac isn’t seeing the artistic side of it.”

Lim now uses his three stores in Southern California and the Milpitas location as places for the gloving community to come, practice and share a common interest.

It’s a community Lim had a hand in shaping by organizing weekly, monthly and annual competitions where thousands of glovers attend and compete. Lim also advises gloving groups on a collegiate level with fraternity-like chapters. UCBerkeley was among the first chapters and currently offers a gloving class.

Before opening EmazingLights, the 25-year old Lim used to hold gloving sessions from the trunk of his car using homemade LED gloves. Frustrated with the LED vendors at the time, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Two and a half years later, he’s an industry leader, making and manufacturing gloves. Lim admits to riding the coattails of the EDM popularity surge. “Now it’s on the radio, and Skrillex started winning Grammys,” he says. “It’s been great as a movement.”

Lim and the EmazingLights crew remain confident that the light-show culture can stand on its own with or without acceptance of larger EDM events. “You can see by our community that light shows and gloving are legitimate art forms,” Lim says. “Kids are here practicing every single day and, at the end of the day, it’s all from our love of EDM.”—Jennifer Elias

STAGE

Sayegh) field questions from American consumers in ‘Disconnect.’

Holding Pattern THE INDIAN call center has become an unfortunate racist cliché, the place where robotlike workers perform outsourced American jobs, and even for many who don’t partake in churlish vitriol about “stolen” jobs, there is something undeniably surreal about being connected with a service person in South Asia. With her play Disconnect (now running at San Jose Rep), Anupama Chandrasekhar provides a welcome perspective from the other side of the telephone. Set at a call center in Chandrasekhar’s home city of Chennai, India, the play depicts the call center as a symbol of globalization, but also as a place where real people, not cultural stereotypes, slave their lives away.

Avinash, played by Rajesh Bose, is an aging manager at an American-owned credit card company. His superior is Jyothi (Devon Ahmed), a woman whose concocted Americanisms sound like a cross between an Eastern seaboard accent and Valleyspeak. During an employee review, Jyothi determines that the traditionally minded Avinash does not embody the trendy “core values” of the company, and she demotes him to a position in Illinois—that is, the floor of the building that deals with customers from that state, where he is to supervise a trio of ambitious debt collectors.

Disconnect Runs through April 14; $29–$74 San Jose Repertory Theatre

The collectors, Ross, Vidya and Giri (Imran Sheikh, Sharone Sayegh and Ray Singh, respectively) labor through the nights in a windowless “upstairs basement,” subsisting on rations of Coca-Cola as they try to squeeze money out of American creditors, often building up a rapport by pretending to be American themselves. The act seems to come naturally to these young, somewhat Americanized workers, and it’s an effective tactic until “supercollector” Ross takes his role too far and jeopardizes the entire office.

This is the consequence of the “disconnect” referred to in the play’s title, between India and the United States, between the characters’ true selves and their aspirational identities. These kids are not Americans, no matter how much their employer wants them to be, or how much they want to be.

This setup is all remarkably dynamic for a play about sitting and talking on telephones. The dialogue runs at a quick clip, and the scenes shared by Sheikh, Sayegh and Singh, often with simultaneous phone conversations evoking a massively stressful, hectic atmosphere, are especially energetic. The grueling regimen of work that they portray almost makes you squirm in your seat, and it’s hard to fend off a sense of nail-biting terror at watching them dig themselves deeper and deeper into inescapable holes.—Sean Conwell

CONCERT

at the New Parish in Oakland on April 22.

Coachella by the Bay COACHELLA 2013 is approaching quickly, which means many of the acts performing at the festival this year will be making stops in Northern California before or after the festival. As usual, San Jose is getting snubbed and lacks the right kind of venue to host many of the acts stopping in San Francisco and Santa Cruz, but shows by Coachella performers are only a short drive away. Concerts that were not sold out as of press time: NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS: The Bill Graham Civic Center, April 9.

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT: Think the National with a little more classical instrumentation. The Warfield, April 11.

KNIFE PARTY: The Warfield, April 12.

JOHNNY MARR AND THE HEALERS: Starting as guitarist and Morrissey coconspirator in the Smiths, Johnny Marr was also a member of Modest Mouse and has played alongside Paul McCartney and the Pretenders.

The Fillmore, April 13.

BAND OF HORSES: The Fox Theater, April 13.

BAT FOR LASHES: The Regency Ballroom, April 14.

DROPKICK MURPHYS: The Catalyst, April 15. The Warfield, April 16.

DEAD CAN DANCE: This world fusion band from Australia blends unique instrumentation with whimsically eerie female vocals and male vocals reminiscent of David Bowie. They’ve been playing since 1982 and recently reunited in 2005 after a decade-long hiatus. Davies Symphony Hall, April 15.

SIGUR RÓS: The Fox Theatre (Oakland), April 16; Bill Graham’s Civic Auditorium, April 17.

METRIC: The Fox Theater, April 18.

THE LUMINEERS: The Greek Theater, April 19.

INFECTED MUSHROOM: The Regency Ballroom, April 20.

RONI SIZE: The Independent, April 20.

AESOP ROCK: When Coachella is all said and done, Aesop Rock will have only just begun. The San Francisco resident embarks on a tour full of West Coast dates after the festival, starting in Oakland. The New Parish, April 22.—Anthony Presti

Sticking to your preferred version of reality works when you’re 6. At 26 or 36, it tends to end badly. You, for example, tried to ignore the wildly obvious: A guy isn’t logging in at a dating site daily because his mouse gets lost on the way to the sports scores. Eventually, Reality popped up to ask you, “Am I really going to have to bite you?”

So, you asked the guy whether he was seeing anybody from the site, and he said, “Only a friend I work with.” Note that this was not a no. To a woman seeking the truth, it sounds like what it was—a truth-flavored lie. But determined as you were to keep believing you’d found your Mr. Husband, you cut up all the red flags and did a remarkable job repurposing

them into throw pillows.

The fact that your suspicions finally got too big and stanky to ignore didn’t give you the right to plow through the guy’s email. People are entitled to privacy. Even scummy people who are sleeping with you. If a guy’s level of sharing doesn’t match your need to know, find the door—not an opportune moment to go all Nancy Drew on his Gmail.

Railing about what a bad guy your ex is and contacting every woman he ever said “‘sup?” to on some dating site is a great idea, as it will keep you far too busy to admit that you made it possible for him to skeeve you. You can’t control whether somebody lies to you. You can only control whether you do—and whether you treat reality like the 50-foot brick wall it is or pretend, for as long as you can, that it comes with an elastic waistband like fat men’s pants.

You’re taking college classes, which suggests your problemsolving ability exceeds that of most boiled vegetables. This, in turn, suggests you could figure out the obvious solution: Pull this woman aside and ask her out. But maybe what you’re most interested in is a convenient excuse for spending the rest of the semester staring

at the back of her head while drawing little hearts in a notebook, allowing you to feel connected to her without risking rejection. The problem is, this can cause your feelings to fester—to the point where you have such a huge one-sided relationship with her that you become unable to speak to her without seeming creepy. If you do want to date her, ask her out now, before “Wanna knock a few back at Kelly’s bar?” comes off like “You know, you’d look really pretty chained to my cabin wall.”

I see youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Road Runner fan, Stephen, although one of that small subset that wonders, on seeing Wile E. Coyote deploy a piano, anvil or roadside explosive from Acme Products: is this technically feasible?

Some say this attitude ruins a good joke. Not me. I understand that exploring the practical realities of being inadvertently squashed deepens our appreciation of quality humor. I also have to say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain snob appeal in being able to tell a fellow connoisseur: you know, the real danger is when the piano falls up.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to that. First, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concede that large objects fall on people less often than popular culture would lead you to think. My assistant Una scanned through old newspaper databases and was unable to ďŹ nd a single real-life instance of this classic cartoon trope.

She did ďŹ nd the following: Š M Ă&#x2026;Ă?Ă&#x2021;Ă&#x2026;Â&#x152; @ OH@MN V@R ADHMF GNHRSDC up to a second-story window when a cornice broke free from the building, falling and killing a mover below.

However, the piano hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been hoisted up and dropped; it and the victim just fell out the back of the truck. Š HQST@KKX DUDQX NSGDQ QDONQSDC case of death by piano resulted from the instrument simply tipping over.

Commonly, the victims were kids playing near an old upright. Š GD DWBDOSHNM V@R SGD B@RD NE RSQHOÂ&#x2018; club [the Condor in San Francisco] ANTMBDQ HLLX DQQNYYNÂ? M Ă&#x2026;Ă?Ă&#x152;Ă&#x2021;Â&#x152; Jimmy and his dancer girlfriend were having sex on top of a piano that was rigged so it could be raised or lowered for performances. Apparently, in the heat of passion, the couple accidentally hit the up switch, whereupon the piano rose and crushed Jimmy to death @F@HMRS SGD BDHKHMFÂ? GD FHQKEQHDMC V@R pinned underneath him for hours but survived. I acknowledge this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a scenario you want depicted in detail on the Saturday morning cartoons; my point is that death due to vertical piano movement has a basis in fact.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21–April 19): German theologian

Martin Luther (1483–1546) was a central figure in the rebellion against the Catholic Church that led to the Protestant Reformation. You’ll never guess where he was when he was struck by the epiphany that became the core axiom of his new religion. I’ll tell you: He was sitting on the toilet in the Wittenberg Monastery. The Holy Spirit gave him the crucial knowledge then and there, or so he testified. In this spirit, Aries, keep a very open mind about where you will be and what you will be doing when your illuminations arrive this week.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): Your task is to uncover the semi-happy ending that was hidden back in the story’s beginning. Once you do that, you may be able to create a graceful and honorable climax. In fact, I don’t think you will be able to bring about the semi-happy ending any other way. It’s crucial that you return to the original flash of inspiration—the time when all the plot lines that eventually developed were first germinating.

You need to remember fate’s primal promise. You’ve got to read the signs you missed in the early going.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): If you play poker, the

odds are one in 649,740 that you will get a royal flush.

That’s an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 of one suit. As for drawing a straight flush—any five consecutive cards of one suit—the odds are one in 72,192. Judging from the current astrological omens, Gemini, I’d say your chance of getting one of those hands is far better than usual—maybe one in 88,000 for the royal flush and one in 8,888 for the straight flush. But those still aren’t great odds. On the other hand, getting a flush—all five cards of the same suit—is normally one in 509, but these days it’s pretty likely for you. The moral of the story, not just for when you’re playing cards, but in whatever you do: Expect really good luck, but not miraculous, out-of-this-world luck.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): “Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place,” wrote the poet Rumi. This is excellent advice for you right now, Cancerian. You are nearing the peak of your power to express yourself with beautiful accuracy. You have more skill than usual at understanding and conveying the interesting truth.

As a result, you’re in a position to wield extra influence.

People are receptive to being moved by your heart-felt intelligence. So please do more than simply push for greater efficiency, order, and discipline. Those things are good, but I hope you will also be a radiant role model who exemplifies what it means to be soulful.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): Golden Rock is a Buddhist holy site in Burma. It’s a small pagoda built on top of a giant boulder that in turn seems to be precariously balanced at the edge of a down-sloping bed of rock. How does the boulder remain stationary? Why doesn’t it roll off the edge? It appears to defy gravity. Legend says that it’s held in place by a single strand of hair from the Buddha’s head. I suspect that many of you Leos will soon have access to a tricky asset with resemblances to that magic strand. True, it might be merely metaphorical. But if used correctly, it could become a key element in a future foundation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): It’s Soul-Searching Season: a good time to go in search of your soul. To aid your quest, I’ll offer a few lines from “A Few Words on the Soul,” a poem by Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska.

“We have a soul at times,” she says. “No one’s got it nonstop, for keeps. Day after day, year after year may pass without it. For every thousand conversations, it participates in one, if even that, since it prefers silence.

It’s picky: our hustling for a dubious advantage and creaky machinations make it sick. Joy and sorrow aren’t two different feelings for it. It attends us only when the two are joined. We can count on it when we’re sure of nothing and curious about everything.

It won’t say where it comes from or when it’s taking off again, though it’s clearly expecting such questions.

We need it but apparently it needs us for some reason too.” (Translation by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh. Read the whole poem here: http://tinyurl. com/SearchSoul.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): “I do not believe in God,”

said Mexican painter Diego Rivera, “but I believe in Picasso.” My poet-musician friend Tanya has a similar philosophy. “I don’t believe in God, or even Goddess, for that matter,” she says. “But I do believe in Patti

Smith.” Do you have a God-substitute, Libra? Or, if you do have faith in a Cosmic Wow, is there also a more approachable, second-tier source of divinity you love?

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you would really benefit from feeling an intimate kind of reverence right now—a tender devotion for something higher and brighter that awakens the sleeping part of your lust for life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): This would be an

excellent time to stage staring contests with yourself in the mirror. There’s a high likelihood that you will win every time. I think you’ll also have great success whenever you try to read your own mind. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ve got an uncanny knack for plucking buried secrets and selfdeceptions out of their hiding places. One more thing, Scorpio: Have you ever considered how fun it might be to wash your own brain and kick your own butt? Now would be an excellent time to experiment with those radical acts of healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): “It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness,” writes novelist Chuck Palahniuk. “We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.” Your assignment in the coming days, Sagittarius, is to prove Palahniuk wrong. As the surges of sweetness flow through you, as your secret joy ripens into bright blooming bliss, imprint the sensations on your memory. Vow to remember them for the rest of your life. Make these breakthrough moments into talismans that will serve as magical spells whenever you need rejuvenation in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein had his priorities straight. This is what he said about his profession: “In philosophy the race is won by the one who can run slowest—the one who crosses the finish line last.” It’s my belief, Capricorn, that a similar rule should apply to you in the coming days—no matter what project you’re working on or goal you’re trying to accomplish. Proceed slowly enough to be absolutely thorough, meticulous, and conscientious. As you make your way to the finish line, be as deep as you dare.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): In Samuel Beckett’s novel Molloy, the main character talks about a long overland journey he took on foot and by bicycle. Before the trip, he had read somewhere that when people are lost in a forest, they often imagine they’re moving in a straight line when in fact they’re going in a circle. That’s why, during his own travels, he intentionally walked in a circle, hoping thereby to go straight. Although this might sound like a loopy strategy, Aquarius, I think it will make sense for you to adopt in the coming week.

Your apparent path may be very different, maybe even opposite, to your actual path.

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): Are you in competition with someone who is doing mediocre work? Do you find it incomprehensible that anyone would pay attention to that weak expression instead of flocking to your beautiful vibe? If so, here’s my advice. Withdraw your attention from your inferior opponent. Don’t waste a minute feeling jealous or resentful or incredulous.

Instead, concentrate your energy on making your production so strong and smart and irresistible that you simply overshadow and overwhelm your rival’s.

Homework: I’m guessing that many of you will soon be discovering secrets about where you came from. Report results to Freewillastrology.com.
