Rhapsodies BOHEMIAN

Bad Medicine

before the primaries where he’d receive little or no news coverage.

In December 2015, my wife and I were visiting family in the South. Driving through Gulfport, Miss., we stopped for a snack. A cafe waitress told us Donald Trump had just been there. He had filled the local arena with 5,000 people and a thousand more had waited outside. “And it wasn’t even in the news,” the waitress said. “No one covered it.”

I realized later that before the first primary election, Trump had appeared before tens of thousands of people in some of the country’s deeply rural locations, far from the glare of big-city news cameras. These were people who had rarely seen a candidate, much less a celebrity. They must have been thrilled by his attention, and were certainly the kind of people who would believe anything he told them, most of which were lies. Who would ever come through later to argue the truth?

I remember thinking how peculiar it was for a fledgling presidential candidate to be visiting such a remote location, and

THIS MODERN WORLD

Trump was the only Medicine Show in town.

Well, the Medicine Show is over, and Trump has taken the rubes for every vote they had, just as he’s taken every other ingenuous collaborator in his illustrious life as a con artist. We’re the latest suckers. Four years? If he does everything he has promised to do, we’ll be in a deep depression and at war in the streets before the midterms. We’re in for a memorably bumpy ride.

Happy Daze Traumatized by Tuesday’s election results, I failed to pick up the Boho until Friday. Imagine my relief! On the basis of a massive disinformation campaign probably funded by the Koch Brothers and Putin, I had incorrectly believed that He Who Cannot Be Named actually won the American presidency, with all the nukes and guns and poison gas and fracking and financial evil that entails.

But now I know the truth, thanks to the Boho! Clinton won! Yeah! I feel so much better now, thank you for having the courage to be the only newspaper on the planet to print the truth.

I do have a small favor to ask though, could you recheck your sources? I have it on good information that Jill Stein actually won, which is a far, far better outcome than, er, Clinton or You Know Who.

Dept. of Corrections As we were finalizing last week’s paper Tuesday night, polls across the country had Hillary Clinton running away with the win. We believed those polls and made no secret of our support for Clinton. Our news story “Madam President” asked a number of local and national figures to express their hopes and fears for a Clinton presidency. We hedged the story a bit, but we thought she was going to win and the story reflects that. It’s not quite a “Dewey Defeats Truman,” but with an early deadline and monumentally off-themark polling data, we jumped the gun— or drank the Kool-Aid. We will rue the error—and the turn of events—for the next four years.

D

onald Trump was lawfully elected to the highest office in the land, but he came to power through lies, deceit, intimidation and fear. He exploited the very real suffering of Americans abandoned by Republicans and Democrats, parties that do not serve the needs of working people and the planet.

So what can we do about it?

Wake up. While we are lucky to call the North Bay home, we live in a bubble. Filmmaker Michael Moore, who was laughed at for predicting Trump would win, says Trump’s win was only a shock if you weren’t paying attention to the harsh social and economic realities of this country. We must burst those bubbles and make common cause with those suffering injustice at home, across the country and abroad. While some Trump supporters are vile white supremacists and fascist cannon fodder, many felt justifiably deserted by both political parties.

Resist. There is an argument that obstructing Trump as Republicans hobbled Obama for eight years means more gridlock and dysfunctional government. So be it. Better that than facilitating the agenda of a demagogue.

Organize. The Democratic Party, not the Republican, is the one in shambles. The Democratic National Committee has shown itself to be pitifully out of touch with a vast swath of the country. We must take to the streets and demand that our representatives fight Trump every step of the way—that means you Mike Thompson, Jared Huffman, Kamala Harris and Barbara Boxer. If not, we must dump them and elect new leaders who understand what’s at stake and are willing to fight to defend democracy.

As Trump trashed one American institution after another during his bilious campaign, he made his antipathy for the press clear, goading the crowds to jeer the media at his rallies, the same media that helped give voice to his madness. But with his presidency, a Republican-controlled Congress and, maybe soon, a conservativedominated Supreme Court, the press is one of the few checks on his power.

The Bohemian will continue to be your source for local and independent news in the North Bay. We intend to fully exercise our First Amendment rights and responsibility to challenge the man about to enter the White House.

EARTHQUAKE COUNTRY California has long been considered a Democratic party bulwark, but with Trump’s rise all bets

are off as white nationalism surges.

Hold the Line

The electoral college reconsidered and the fading myth of an all-liberal California BY TOM GOGOLA

Y

ou know it’s been an especially uncivil week for the United States of America when newly empowered white men arrive at the Petaluma Veterans Day parade and unfurl Confederate flags while their winning candidate declares that anyone burning an American flag to protest his ascension to the presidency is committing treason.

But that’s just what happened on Friday when U.S. Congressman Jared Huffman was rolling through Petaluma during the parade and spotted the young men with their flags. Huffman took a photo of the flags and the men as one of them glared menacingly at the congressmen.

The story and photo made it to the Washington Post and Huffman told the paper that the country will likely see a lot more of these kinds of public displays as the election result plays out. The

paper noted that Huffman is an Army veteran.

That a leading national newspaper chose to highlight an incident in the North Bay to make the point about displays of white power served also as a warning call to California Democrats: Beware of a rising white-nationalist tide that lifts all GOP boats, even those currently docked along the blue-state Pacific coastline.

Fanning Dakota On Nov. 15, as a big anti– Dakota Access pipeline protests unfolded around the North Bay, Marin County U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman and 20 other members of Congress sent a letter to President Barack Obama offering suggestions and making demands on how to de-escalate rising tensions at the site of the hotbutton pipeline in North Dakota.

Highlighting that the fight to protect the rights of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe will bleed into the next administration, Huffman called on Obama and the United States Department of Justice to “urge the state of North Dakota to stand down from its escalation of the use of force,” which has included the arrest of journalist Amy Goodman and various attempts to shut down the free assembly rights of protesters on the site, via the state’s National Guard.

Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva was a co-signer of the letter to Obama, which was sent to the president a day after the Army Corps of Engineers signaled its continued push to work with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe as it works to make decision on a proposed easement across native lands.

Grijalva blasted North Dakota, whose Republican ) 11 The Bohemian started as The Paper in 1978.

Bay was one of a few events in recent days that served to throw serious shade at the myth of an all-liberal California post-election, despite its self-congratulatory outburst of “Calexit” posturing after the results were in.

At press time, election officials were still counting votes to see whether Orange County Congressman Darrell Issa would return to D.C., despite multiple predictions that the hardline conservative would be swept out of office in the glorious Clintonian moment that did not materialize, either up-ticket or down.

Beware of a rising white nationalist tide that lifts all GOP boats.

And the same state that defiantly pledged to “Calexit” after election day (playing off the June “Brexit” vote in Great Britain) also stood with the forces of Trumpish law-and-order when it voted to maintain its capital punishment regime in voting down Proposition 62. The allliberal California voter instead supported Proposition 66, which limits appeals for death row inmates in order to kickstart the state-sanctioned killing of bad citizens. And it lets jailers decide how to execute the condemned if the state can’t figure it out. As Trump might say, I don’t care how you do it, just get ’em out of here on a stretcher.

The “Calexit” moment was joined by a chorus of outrage over the electoral college, which is understandable given that twice in less than 20 years a Republican has won the presidency despite losing the popular vote to the Democrat. Clinton’s held a roughly 1 million vote advantage

in the popular tally as of press time. And yet the electoral college might come in very handy for Democrats one day soon.

Fast-forward to November 2020 and consider the following scenario: Despite the dire warnings, in some quarters voters have warmed to the white nationalist administration, especially in rural and suburban California, where the president didn’t in the end deport half the state’s workforce. Trump is now campaigning with a renewed push to make good on his 2016 pledge to flip a few big-blue states red, and he might just pull it off. The notnormal has been fully normalized with the help of an agog and intimidated mainstream media eager to weaponize the Trumpian celebrity quotient into ratings— and the California Republican Party is on the rebound, with 1994’s disastrous anti-immigrant Proposition 187 a distant memory for voters. The state has a longstanding soft spot for the hypnotic appeal of Republican celebrity (see: Reagan, Schwarzeneggar), and those voters fuel a narrow popular-vote victory for the incumbent president in the national tally. But, despite Republican gains in California, the Democratic challenger takes California’s 55 electoral votes and squeaks out a narrow electoral college victory.

Possible?

“You could easily redraw the map to show exactly that” in 2020, says Trent England, director of the pro-electoral college organization Save Our States, as he highlights how the Trump movement coaxed previously nonvoting constituencies into the voting booth. “Which is the lesson of Trump,” he says.

And he recalls that it wasn’t long ago that the pollsters said Clinton might prevail in the electoral vote tally while Trump would take the popular vote. In that scenario, Trump would have no doubt made good on his riggedelection promise to not accept the outcome, but it’s also true that Sen. Barbara Boxer wouldn’t be calling for the end of the electoral college if it had delivered a better result for Clinton.

D E B RI E F E R urging of the corporate owners of the pipeline, deployed the National Guard to the protest site. In a statement co-written with Huffman, Grijalva noted that the function of the guard is to provide assistance in the event of a natural disaster “not to help suppress our constitutionally protected right to peacefully assemble.”

“Its use in this way, and the escalating law enforcement and National Guard presence in response to unarmed demonstrations, betrays our values as a nation,” Grijalva added, “and aids a private corporation whose pipeline threatens Native American burial and sacred sites, and clean drinking water.”

The letter to Obama calls on the president to send observers from the Department of Justice to keep tabs on the violent and disproportionate responses to legitimate protest—and to come out swinging against the proposed easement under consideration by the Army Corps.

“In the coming months,” Huffman notes, “Presidentelect Trump—who has personally invested in this pipeline company (see “The Spigot,” Oct. 26)—will undoubtedly signal an oil and gas industry takeover of the White House. This will be one of the many battles we must fight and we must stand together to protect the environment, sacred tribal lands, freedom of the press and the right to peaceful assembly.”

Meanwhile, about 300 protesters gathered in front of Citibank in downtown

ltiva cu te

Santa Rosa Tuesday, Nov. 15, to protest the bank’s investment in the pipeline.

More local protests are planned.

Byrne, Baby, Byrne Former Bohemian contributor (and inveterate letter-to-theeditor writer) Peter Byrne, the pride of Petaluma, just won a 2016 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Kavli Science Journalism Award award for an 11-part investigative story that ran in the Point Reyes Light last year.

The series of stories debunked a lot of mythoscience around breast cancer rates among higher-income women in Marin County and elsewhere. Byrne’s award was in the small-circulation newspapers category (under 150,000). Byrne, AAAS remarked, “took a close look at claims of a breast cancer epidemic among white women in upscale Marin County and found that widespread cancer screening, producing many false positives, is the likely cause of a feared ‘cancer cluster’ in the county. He reported that many non-cancerous findings are erroneously entered in the state’s cancer registry as cancerous.”

The award comes with a $5,000 cash prize, and it sounds like the money will come in handy in the Byrne household. Debriefer was on the phone with Peter a couple of weeks ago, and he told us how he’d just dropped many thousands of dollars on his kids’ braces. Smile!

NAPA SPICE Protéa draws on chef Anita Cartagena’s diverse culinary roots.

Borderlands

Yountville’s casual Protéa puts Latin America on a plate BY FLORA TSAPOVSKY

H

ow do you form an opinion about a restaurant that changes its menu daily? Protéa, a newly opened restaurant in Yountville, poses this riddle of identity.

A small only a few steps from the legendary Ad Hoc, Protéa is the work of chef Anita Cartagena, previously of Ciccio, also in

Yountville. Ciccio is all about Italian authenticity, powered by a wood-burning stove. At Protéa, Cartagena, who was born in Puerto Rico, is aiming to pave her own path with traditional and creative Latin American dishes as well as modern nods to Californian cuisine.

Featuring rooftop and outdoor seating and only a few counter seats inside, Protéa clearly positions itself as a casual, daytime spot, meant to be enjoyed

under the Napa Valley sun. The decor is simple and bright, with colorful tiles and an eye-catching blue and yellow entryway. The setup is casual—fast service meets elevated menu. You order at the counter and take a number with you, and the food is brought out on metal trays. The menu is a hodgepodge of cuisines and directions, with a strong presence of Mexican hits like tostadas, tacos, empanadas and quesadillas. In addition to those, a

Greek salad, french fries and even shrimp ramen stir-fry play along.

We started with two appetizers, coconut shrimp ($14) and Parmesan parsley fries with avocado mousse ($6), which showcased Protéa’s mix-andmatch cuisines. The shrimp, big and impressive, were crusted in coconut flakes and deep-fried, and served with what the menu described as Bacardi rum piña colada sauce. In reality, the silky yellow sauce had an acidic-sweet quality to it, which went perfectly with the barely salty shrimp.

And while the words “coconut shrimp” didn’t do the appetizer justice, the hyped-up fries were a bit of a letdown. Sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and flecks of parsley, the straightforward fries were served with runny, lemony guacamole—not as creamy and rich as mousse would suggest.

Dipping fries in avocado turned out to be good, but it’s still a rather unremarkable dish.

The pickled steak tacos ($13 for three) were refreshing and satisfying. The medium-sized tacos contained juicy chunks of sirloin, pickled with lime and chilies, tangy tomatillo purée, crispy romaine and crunchy pickled onions. Fresh corn tortillas sealed the deal. I think everything is better with tomatillos, yet you rarely see fresh ones garnishing tacos, so extra points to Cartagena there.

The braised short rib bowl ($15) featured boneless ribs that fell apart at the touch of a fork. They were cooked in a flavorful red wine with tomatoes, carrots and onions and served over steamed bomba rice and garnished with arugula and sweet plantains. The homey, delicious beef, perfectly cooked rice and excellent plantains were all stellar, but didn’t come together as a whole.

Yountville needs an easy-going, casual and unbuttoned restaurant like Protéa, and the vibrant, everchanging menu will keep locals coming. All the place needs is a little consistency and sharper focus on Cartagena’s clear talent for Latin American cuisine.

Swirl

Other Noir The complicated story behind a wine of simple pleasures

BY JAMES KNIGHT

L

e Valdiguié est arrivé!

Le who? For decades, the fruity, straightforward wines from the recent vintage in the Beaujolais region of France were advertised in the third week in November with the slogan, “Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé!”

Just in time for Thanksgiving, nouveau is a sensible choice for pairing with light fowl and a variety of earthy accoutrements. But while you can still find it here and there, this kind of wine is now popular only in “very unsophisticated wine markets,” according to sharptongued British wine critic Jancis Robinson. Ouch.

Meanwhile, the California wine that used to be called “Gamay Beaujolais” received a calling-out of its own in recent decades. Most,

if not all, domestic wines labeled as Gamay were made from the so-called Napa Gamay grape, now brought to heel under its true name, Valdiguié. It’s an ironic comedown, as the true grape of Beaujolais, Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc, was itself once booted out of Burgundy for being more juicy and productive than His Royal Highness, Pinot Noir.

Duxoup 2015 Nancy’s Vineyard Dry Creek Valley Gamay Noir ($19.50) Andy Cutter makes 124 cases of this wine from a half-acre vineyard on the home property. Despite the name, it’s likely that this is, in fact, Valdiguié, which the Cutters have been making since 1981. Deep ruby, fragrant with scents of olallieberry wine and overripe arbor grapes, this plushly fruited wine reminds me of strawberry and mixed berry fruit wrap and shoe leather, topped off with vanilla and blueberry notes over soft, furry tannins. Fun, fine and much more like the Jadot, below, than the other Valdiguié wines.

Paul Mathew 2013 Turner Vineyard Knights Valley Valdiguié ($20) Get this while you can—this is the Gustafsons’ last vintage, for now, of this lighterbodied, sandalwood incensescented fowl-friendly wine. The fruit is sweet going in, like a packet of strawberry jam for a Continental breakfast, but dry going out.

Topel 2013 Battuello Vineyard Napa Valley Gamay ($38) This is also Valdiguié, and shares lightbodied and strawberry preserve characteristics with the Paul Mathew, with a more musky, leathery note. Chocolate mint and iron notes keep the light, blackberry fruit firm.

Louis Jadot 2015 BeaujolaisVillages ($10–$14) The ringer in this roundup, the Jadot is a supersolid Beaujolais. Purple-tinged, vanilla and blackberry tea-scented, it’s heady and grapey, and a fine representation of the region for the price.

Less than four tons of the “true” Gamay were crushed last year in the North Bay, according to the 2015 Grape Crush Report, and some 59 tons of Napa Gamay—some of the most food-friendly wines that are yet to “arrive.”

contributions of 58 nominated theater artists representing 14 theater companies.

The MTJA awards are different in a number of ways.

For instance, they do away with gender distinctions in acting categories, awarding certificates to Outstanding Lead Performance and Outstanding Supporting Performance in musicals, dramas and comedies, ignoring the traditional male and female division.

The winners are: Spreckels Theatre Company’s mother-daughter drama The Light in the Piazza—directed by Gene Abravaya, with musical direction by Diego Garcia—won for Outstanding Production of a Musical. Also honored for The Light in the Piazza was Eileen Morris for Outstanding Lead Performance. Meanwhile, another Spreckels win, for Outstanding Costume Design, went to Pamela Enz for Disney’s A Little Mermaid.

The two-actor cop-drama A Steady Rain, directed by Argo Thompson for Left Edge Theatre, took the top slot for Outstanding Production of a Drama. A Steady Rain also took honors for sound design (Thompson) and light design (April George).

The award for Outstanding Production of a Comedy went to Main Stage West’s BOB: A Life in Five Acts, directed by Sheri Lee Miller. BOB also took acting awards for Mark Bradbury (lead performance) and Nick Sholley (supporting performance). Other nominees in the comedy category were It’s a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play (Raven Players), One Man, Two Guvnors (6th Street Playhouse), Seminar (Left Edge Theatre), and Treasure Island (Spreckels).

Cinnabar Theater’s aforementioned Time Stands Still took drama acting honors for Laura Lowry (lead) and Ivy Rose Miller (supporting), while 6th Street Playhouse’s Abbey Lee won for Animal Crackers (supporting in a musical), and set designer Jesse Dreikosen was honored for his set for A Christmas Carol, also at 6th Street.

Congratulations to all!

Not So Silent

Get your jollies with holiday concerts at LBC

BY CHARLIE SWANSON

T

he Luther Burbank Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa is hosting several holiday-themed concerts between now and the end of the year. From classic soul to symphony pops, the lineup appeals to all tastes and traditions.

The season kicks off on Sunday, Nov. 27, with the return of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, who mark their third year in the North Bay with “Home for the Holidays,” a fun concert of classic Christmas favorites that benefits Sonoma County’s Face to Face AIDS Network, working to end HIV in Sonoma County and support those living with HIV/AIDS. On Wednesday, Nov. 30,

Christmas gets celestial when Dublin-based, all-female ensemble Celtic Woman perform off their second Christmas album, Home for Christmas, and mesmerize audiences with ethereal voices and enchanting arrangements.

The most kid-friendly concert of the season happens on Sunday, Dec. 11, when pianist Jim Martinez joins the Santa Rosa Symphony for a special Charlie Brown Christmas Concert, performing classic themes from the 1965 Peanuts animated special featuring Snoopy and the gang learning the true meaning of Christmas.

Celebrity stars also align this season at LBC, and a slew of topselling artists arrive in the North Bay just in time for the holidays.

Donnie and Marie Osmond mix holiday songs and fan favorites on Friday, Dec. 16. The soulfully angelic-voiced Aaron Neville spends a night singing Christmas themes on Saturday, Dec. 17.

Throwback Renaissance Lita Ford is still running away with it Lita Ford was only 15 when she joined the burgeoning all-female rock ’n’ roll group the Runaways in 1975, playing lead guitar for the band that also featured Joan Jett. The group broke up in 1979.

From there, Ford launched a successful solo career that rivaled Jett in the 1980s, topping charts with hit singles like the party anthem “Kiss Me Deadly” and the hard-rock ballad “Close My Eyes Forever,” which she sung with Ozzy Osbourne.

After a lengthy hiatus in the late 1990s through 2007, in which she focused on raising two children, Ford returned to the stage 10 years ago with an invigorated sound and kick-ass attitude, showing fans around the world that her edge was as razor-sharp as ever.

As it turns out, 2016 is shaping up to be one of Ford’s biggest years ever. She has a new autobiography out, Living Like a Runaway, that documents her wild days in the Runaways and her solo adventures.

She also has a new album, Time Capsule, comprising several old demos given new life with the help of an all-star band of players.

This week, Ford brings her timeless rock to the North Bay and performs on Friday, Nov. 18, at Rock Star University’s House of Rock, 3410 Industrial Drive, Santa Rosa.

7:30pm. $55–$75 (21 and over). 707.791.3482.— Charlie Swanson

Of immediate importance is how quickly the courts in Sonoma County can begin to process the applications of people who wish to reduce cannabis felony convictions to misdemeanors. The district attorney has the right to oppose these petitions, so their response is critically important.

Allowing those with cannabis felonies to get them reduced and removed from their criminal records will positively affect the lives of many people in Sonoma County.

For those who wish to grow for themselves, it’s important to remember that the county, and the cities within it, have the right to ban outdoor growing of the allowed six personal plants.

Looking at the proposed ordinance for medical cannabis, I don’t

expect Sonoma County to do that, although it may try to reduce it to three plants. Such a move would likely be illegal, but watch for it.

Also, some cities within the county are famously anti-cannabis, so be on the alert for a complete ban.

Although Proposition 64 opens up a massive new market, many questions remain. Will the county and cities allow more dispensaries?

What about other adult-use businesses? Will the rules for adult-use cannabis mirror those proposed for medical? Will law enforcement start referring complaints regarding cannabis to code enforcement instead of diverting law enforcement to those complaints? Will additional requirements above and beyond the state requirements for health and safety, environmental protections, testing, security, food safety or worker protections be imposed? Remember that under Proposition 64 a person will not be able to get a state license if approval will violate any local ordinance, including land-use rules.

One area that is often overlooked is the creation of an industrial hemp market. Hemp is an amazing agricultural product that has enormous potential for the economy and the environment.

Will Sonoma County take advantage of this opportunity? I doubt it. Industrial hemp will likely be concentrated in the Central Valley or other areas of the state where farmers can buy reasonably priced land.

The potential for Proposition 64’s positive economic impact on Sonoma County is enormous. But this will only come to fruition if the county allows the industry to develop without regulating and taxing it to death before it even starts. Proposition 64 gives a lot of control to local governments and the success, or failure, of this brandnew industry will largely depend on how they exercise this power.

Ben Adams is a local attorney who concentrates his practice on cannabis compliance and defense.

Astrology For the week of November 16

ARIES (March 21–April 19) There is a 97 percent chance that you will not engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tightrope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect that you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits—although less risky ones—that will require you to summon more pluck and improvisational skill than you knew you had.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) The Onion, my favorite news source, reported that “It’s perfectly natural for people to fantasize about sandwiches other than the one currently in their hands.” You shouldn’t feel shame, the article said, if you’re enjoying a hoagie but suddenly feel an inexplicable yearning for a BLT or pastrami on rye. While I appreciate this reassuring counsel, I don’t think it applies to you in the coming weeks. In my opinion, you have a sacred duty to be unwaveringly faithful, both in your imagination and your actual behavior—as much for your own sake as for others’. I advise you to cultivate an up-to-date affection for and commitment to what you actually have and not indulge in obsessive fantasies about “what ifs.”

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) I hesitate to deliver the contents of this horoscope without a disclaimer.

Unless you are an extremely ethical person with a vivid streak of empathy, you might be prone to abuse the information I’m about to present. So please ignore it unless you can responsibly employ the concepts of benevolent mischief and tricky blessings and cathartic shenanigans. Ready? Here’s your oracle: Now is a favorable time for grayer truths, wilder leaps of the imagination, more useful bullshit, funnier enigmas and more outlandish stories seasoned with crazy wisdom.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Kavachi is an underwater volcano in the Southwest Pacific Ocean.

It erupts periodically and in general makes the surrounding water so hot and acidic that human divers must avoid it. And yet some hardy species live there, including crabs, jellyfish, stingrays and sharks. What adaptations and strategies enable them to thrive in such an extreme environment? Scientists don’t know.

I’m going to draw a comparison between you and the resourceful creatures living near Kavachi. In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll flourish in circumstances that normal people might find daunting.

LEO (July 23–August 22) Seventeenth-century British people used the now-obsolete word “firktytoodle.” It meant “cuddling and snuggling accompanied by leisurely experiments in smooching, fondling, licking and sweet dirty talk.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to carry out extensive experiments in this activity. But here’s an interesting question: Will the near future also be a favorable phase for record levels of orgasmic release? The answer: maybe, but if and only if you pursue firkytoodle as an end in itself; if and only if you relish the teasing and playing as if they were ultimate rewards, and don’t relegate them to being merely preliminary acts for pleasures that are supposedly bigger and better. (P.S.: These same principles apply not just to your intimate connections, but to everything else in your life, as well.

Enjoying the journey is as important as reaching a destination.)

VIRGO (August 23–September 22) Here’s an experiment worth trying: reach back into the past to find a remedy for what’s bugging you now. In other words, seek out on an old, perhaps even partially forgotten influence to resolve a current dilemma that has resisted your efforts to master it. This is one time when it may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream. You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22) By the time he died at the age of 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than a hundred companies. But along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready

BY ROB BREZSNY

for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they’d be needed. I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future. Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept, but will eventually be ready to embrace.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21)

Does the word “revolution” have any useful meaning? Or has it been invoked by so many fanatics with such melodramatic agendas that it has lost its value? In accordance with your astrological omens, I suggest we give it another chance. I think it deserves a cozy spot in your life during the next few months. As for what exactly that entails, let’s call on author Rebecca Solnit for inspiration. She says, “I still think the [real] revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.”

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21)

“We all have ghosts inside us, and it’s better when they speak than when they don’t,” wrote author Siri Hustvedt. The good news, Sagittarius, is that in recent weeks your personal ghosts have been discoursing at length. They have offered their interpretation of your life’s central mysteries and have provided twists on old stories you thought you had all figured out. The bad news is that they don’t seem to want to shut up. Also, less than 25 percent of what they have been asserting is actually true or useful. But here’s the fantastic news: Those ghosts have delivered everything you need to know for now, and will obey if you tell them to take an extended vacation.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19) In the film Bruce Almighty, Morgan Freeman plays the role of God, and Capricorn actor Jim Carrey is a frustrated reporter named Bruce Nolan. After Nolan bemoans his rocky fate and blames it on God’s ineptitude, the Supreme Being reaches out by phone. (His number is 716-776-2323.) A series of conversations and negotiations ensues, leading Nolan on roller-coaster adventures that ultimately result in a mostly happy ending. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Capricorns will have an unusually high chance of making fruitful contact with a Higher Power or Illuminating Source in the coming weeks. I doubt that 716-776-2323 is the right contact information. But if you trust your intuition, I bet you’ll make the connection.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18) Some spiders are both construction workers and artists. The webs they spin are not just strong and functional, but also feature decorative elements called “stabilimenta.”

These may be as simple as zigzags or as complex as spiral whorls. Biologists say the stabilimenta draw prey to specific locations, help the spider hide and render the overall stability of the web more robust. As you enter the web-building phase of your cycle, Aquarius, I suggest that you include your own version of attractive stabilimenta. Your purpose, of course, is not to catch prey, but to bolster your network and invigorate your support system. Be artful as well as practical. (Thanks to Mother Nature Network’s Jaymi Heimbuch for info on stabilimenta.)

PISCES (February 19–March 20)

“Aren’t there parts of ourselves that are just better left unfed?” asked Piscean author David Foster Wallace. I propose that we make that one of your two keynotes during the next four weeks. Here’s a second keynote: As you become more and more skilled at not fueling the parts of yourself that are better left unfed, you will have a growing knack for identifying the parts of yourself that should be well-fed. Feed them with care and artistry!
