Moo’s BBQ expanding to open second location

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jeremy Biondi shows off his smoker that can cook 200 pounds of meat at once. He hopes to use the new smoker soon in the second location of Moo’s BBQ, which will be in the building that was formerly a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant near I-80.

Biondi to remodel former KFC building

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Jeremy Biondi can practically hear his new smoker calling out to him.

If everything goes according to plan, by late January or early February, he’ll get to use that smoker.

Biondi stood over the smoker

Tuesday morning amid the dust and scrap lumber that seem to cover the kitchen of his new location. He and his wife, Nicole, are expanding their Moo’s BBQ business to a second location and will soon be moving equipment into the West 18th Street South building, near I-80, formerly occupied by Kentucky Fried Chicken.

“You can get about 200 pounds of meat in this thing,” Biondi said, admiring the new smoker. Combined with the two 100-pound smokers he’ll bring up from the Moo’s location on the southwest corner of the courthouse square, that will allow Biondi to smoke 400 pounds of meat at one time.

County, DOC agreement approved

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An agreement between the Iowa Department of Corrections and Jasper County on the transportation and housing of parole offenders was approved Tu e s Halferty day. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the agreement that would eliminate a step for the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, saving time and money.

“If we have offenders that are in Jasper County and are on parole, they are still under the guidance of the DOC. If they re-offend or are picked up and taken into custody, right now we have to hold them for a period of time and then transport them to Oakdale,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said.

Halferty said Polk County was one of the first counties to partner with the DOC and after a successful run, the DOC contacted Jasper County to do the same. The agreement would have the sheriff ’s office bring offenders

directly to the Newton Correction Facility pending their parole revocation hearing, instead of holding them and transferring them to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Oakdale.

“It saves some staffing time and some costs for both. It’s a good partnership,” Halferty said.

Also approved was a federal aid agreement for the replacement of a bridge on Highway T-12 that crosses the North Skunk River. The project is estimated to total $750,000 with 80 percent of the costs being paid for using Highway Bridge Program funds through federal aid and the county producing the final 20 percent from the Farm and Market Fund.

The bridge currently standing was built in the 1940s and is more than 70 years old.

In other business: • The board approved the purchase of a Ford truck from Stivers Ford Lincoln in Des Moines at a price of $24,998.

• Max Worthington and Bruce McGuire were both named to the Jasper County Compensation Commission.

The Light of Christmas program planned at St. Luke United Methodist Church Christmas Eve services at 7 and 11 p.m.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News St. Luke United Methodist Church is inviting the community to experience “The Light of Christmas” Christmas Eve celebration service.

Scheduled for both 7 and 11 p.m. on Thursday, the services will explore what it means to celebrate the holiday in ways to make it more meaningful, true and real.

“This message is for those who haven’t been to church for awhile and those who attend regularly. This is the year to come home to the baby Jesus for Christmas,” the Rev. Audrey Young said.

The message hopes to help slow down the hectic holiday schedule, family pressures and emotional wounds that can often come up during the busy season.

“St. Luke sees the Christmas season as one that offers a unique opportunity to experience God’s love and grace in the midst of real life,” Young said. “That is the reason for “The Light of Christmas” celebrations — to experience the true gifts of Christmas hope and peace that Christ’s birth offers even today.”

The message gives a celebration schedule that outlines activities for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with ideas such as bringing a plate of cookies to an elderly neighbor or sharing the most memorable Christmas in years past.

It also contains stories and devotions along with songs to help better connect to the spir-

Security is focus at churches, mosques amid heightened fears BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — In Alabama, a Presbyterian church wanted to be able to hire its own police for protection. Mosque leaders around the country are meeting with law enforcement officials as an anti-Muslim furor fuels arson attacks and vandalism. And the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been holding specialized training for congregations for “all hazards, including active shooter incidents.”

Religious congregations across the United States are concentrating on safety like

never before following a season of violence, from the slaughter unleashed in June by a white shooter at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, to the killings this month in San Bernardino, California.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations said 2015 is shaping up as the worst year ever for U.S. mosques, amid the backlash to the Islamic-extremist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the intensifying anti-Muslim rhetoric from Donald Trump and

others seeking the GOP presidential nomination. Preliminary 2015 data collected by the civil rights organization found 71 reported cases of vandalism, harassment and threats, with 29 of those incidents occurring since the Nov. 13 assaults in France.

The Anti-Defamation League, which works to secure Jewish sites, has been organizing safety training around the country with other faith groups, including an Austin, Texas, event with local police and the African Methodist

Episcopal Churches of Greater Austin that drew participants from 35 churches and three mosques. The Charleston church attacked in June, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, is part of the national African Methodist Episcopal denomination.

Christian churches have been refining their security plans ahead of receiving some of their largest crowds of the year for Christmas. On a FEMA webinar last Wednesday on protecting houses of worship, the chief security executive at

The Potter’s House, the Rev. T.D. Jakes’ megachurch in Dallas, gave tips about behavior that should raise concern, such as a congregant arriving in a long coat in hot weather. If needed, church greeters could give a hug and feel for weapons, said the executive, Sean Smith.

“I call it the Holy Ghost pat-down,” Smith said.

Congregations and other religious sites have long been targets of violence and vandalism, especially African-American churches going back at least to the civil rights movement.

Moo’s Continued from Page 1A Biondi said the Moo’s courthouse square location will close for about two weeks while moving and getting everything set up. After that, the location on the square will re-open, but only Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout much of the spring.

Beginning some time in late April, the courthouse square location will go to four days per week. Biondi isn’t sure what exact days and hours the new West 18th Street location will have, but it will have more hours of service than the original restaurant will have.

Tuesday morning, Jana Silver was helping paint trim areas of the counter area, while Nicole was touching up some of the dining room. Extensive upgrades have been made; an electrician was on site.

The new location will have more of a focus on the dinner rush and dinner items. The courthouse square Moo’s has been more of a lunch establishment since in opened in April 2014, and Biondi said that won’t change.

Biondi said the former KFC building has not been used for about 12 years. He’s leasing the building from Robert Farrell.

He’s also beginning a lease of some restaurant equipment that

begins Jan. 1, which is why he wants to quickly get the new location up and running. He also hopes the weather is favorable when some of the heaviest equipment is being moved.

Work on the lighting, back cooler, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as repairs to a leaky roof, have all been completed in the past few months.

“We wanted to get things going in September or October, but there was just too much to do,” Biondi said.

Biondi, who begins his first term on the Newton City Council in January, said “Moo’s One”

— the courthouse square location — will be rented out in the evenings for special events. The overall store will continue to be the home to Stacy’s Sweetstuff, which has an entrance along First Avenue West.

As if a smoker that can cook 200 pounds of meat wasn’t enough to get customer’s mouths watering, the new location will also include a fryer.

“We’ll finally be able to serve fries,” he said. “And fried pickles.”

Trump uses crude language to mock Clinton WA S H I N GT O N (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump labeled Democrat Hillary Clinton “disgusting” for using the restroom during a commercial break at the last Democratic debate and used crude language to describe her primary loss to now-President Barack Obama in 2008.

“She was favored to win and she got schlonged, she lost,” he said on Monday night, using a slang word for male genitalia.

Trump, who has

ramped up his criticism of Clinton in recent weeks, also mocked Clinton for returning late to Saturday’s debate following a commercial break because she’d been using the bathroom.

“What happened to her? I’m watching the debate, and she disappeared. Where did she go?!” Trump said at the rally at the DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“I know where she went. It’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it,” he added. “No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t

Audiologist Since 1979

say it, it’s disgusting.”

This isn’t the first time Trump has used what could be interpreted as gendered language to criticize Clinton. He has repeatedly described her as lacking the strength and stamina to be president and invoked the image of her putting on a pantsuit before heading to work.

But the latest remarks appear to have hit a new nerve. After

declining to comment Monday evening, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri took to Twitter to label the language “degrading.”

“We are not responding to Trump, but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should,” Palmieri said on Twitter, concluding with the hashtag “imwithher.”

Give our leaders better choices

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Dec. 23, 2015

When the Newton City Council recently announced work to be done to a particular street, the predictable reactions were nearly all motivated by whether someone lived on that particular avenue.

How can the city possibly be concerned about that lesser-traveled street, they ask, when the one I live on has major potholes and chunks missing — a danger to the massive trucks, M1 Abrams tanks and herds of elephants that traverse the street each day?

I exaggerate this to show none of us really trust a government process that much. Most of us have at least a few individuals that we believe have our best interests in mind, but the doubts we have about money, politics and bureaucracies jade our confidence. Yet if avoiding government waste were easily avoidable, I would think it wouldn’t happen so often.

It seems governments of all sizes are left with only lousy sets of choices between either appeasing

one group and alienating others, or temporarily fixing a problem in a gamble that might leave it with no resources to create a permanent solution later It’s one thing to let leaders off the hook and not hold them accountable. It’s another to acknowledge the tough rock-and-a-hardplace they’ve been put in. It’s not a matter of feeling sorry for any decision makers. It’s about realizing the choice they’re about to make is going to stink, in some way.

The Chicago-Gary International Airport, one of many sets of expensive runways in the greater Windy City area, has been criticized at various times over the past 15 years for its costs and for not offering more passenger flights.

What’s rarely mentioned is how the airport is largely industrial and commercial, with some military flights, so it’s hardly the empty, activity-free graveyard painted in some stories.

Also, commercial airlines could

and have offered passenger service to Chicago-Gary International, and it’s at their discretion. The Federal Aviation Administration doesn’t tell airlines which airports to use or where to offer regular service. Some kind of federal mandate to use an airport for passenger flights might have impact on how much mail or cargo can be flown in and out, or in the costs of using and maintaining the facility.

The point here is that there is no perfect solution. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be debate or heavy scrutiny on costs or other choices. It simply means we, as a society, need to get out of situations where all the options are rough and terrible.

Sure, no nation moves forward unless it’s willing to live with tough choices. But it seems like the choices our current government is having to make offer no real solutions — only how much a problem can be slowed down or mitigated.

I don’t know that governments have ever had an easy set of choices, or great nations would never have been built. I just see the options laid before some of today’s leaders and see eeniemeenie-minie-moe as to which group of citizens will be let down this time around.

Some say a new set of leaders, but what if we hand them the same crappy set of circumstances? That seems like it won’t work, and we’ll end up talking about the same set of problems a year from now.

Regarding street repair, I suppose this might mean investing in the latest technology in road construction materials, techniques and repairs. Regarding less tangible areas, such as campaign finance reform, it might mean looking at alternatives we’ve never tried before.

Letters to the Editor

‘Iowa Friends’ advocates locally Paula Arkema Kellogg In response to the letter to the editor written by Carolyn Strickler, I agree there is plenty of room for improvement in the area of animal welfare issues in our state. The fact that Iowa ranks No. 2 in the nation with more than 200 licensed USDA dog breeders is extremely concerning. These facilities house more than 15,000 adult dogs.

USDA data shows that 47 percent of these USDA licensed breeders were cited by the USDA for violations of the Animal Welfare Act of 2014 and 17 percent of these violations were for “direct violations” which are those that are most likely to be an immediate threat to the animal.

Of the top four dog producing states, Iowa is the only state without state-level oversight. I believe Iowa can do be better and will continue to be a voice for change and encourage Ms. Strickler and others to

do the same. Iowa Friends of Companion Animals continues to work on solutions for these concerns. We are educating the public on how to assess breeders and ensure they are dealing with one that is reputable and responsible. We are working to get state oversight of USDA licensed dog-breeding facilities.

Iowa Friends of Companion Animals has a local advocacy team in Jasper County that meets monthly.

State View

Better training, education will help expand Iowa’s middle class We should do all that we can to help more workers and their families join Iowa’s middle class.

As 2015 comes to an end, Iowa continues its recovery from the national economic recession. We’re making steady progress, but many Iowans are still out of work or unable to find the jobs they want.

By Chaz Allen According to Iowa Senator the Iowa Policy Project, the state is short about 35,000 jobs needed to keep up with the population growth we’ve seen in recent years. When it comes to the jobs that are available, many Iowans don’t have the skills needed to fill them.

CNBC once again has put Iowa in the top 10 states for doing business this year for our low costs and quality of life, but they say our workforce development is lacking.

That’s why Senate Democrats continue to fight for education and training that prepares Iowans to fill skilled jobs — those that are currently available and the ones we want to attract. We support investments in job training, apprenticeships, high school completion, skills certification and credentials that will put more Iowans on the path to good jobs. To strengthen Iowa’s economy, these opportunities must be accessible to all who want to improve their prospects.

Skilled Workforce Shortage Tuition Grants are making a better future a reality for thousands of Iowans. Iowa residents preparing for in-demand jobs at our community colleges may be eligible for this need-based financial aid, which covers up to half of the average tuition and fees for two years.

A new report tells us how the Legislature’s $5 million investment in this grant program helped students during the 2014-15 school year. Among

the highlights: • 4,926 recipients were awarded all available funds.

• 52 percent of recipients were 25 years old or older, training for better-paying work.

• About 49 percent of the funds assisted students studying nursing and allied health, an area of particular need with Iowa’s aging population.

In other job training news, Iowa has been hailed as a national leader in creating more job opportunities for people with disabilities, the largest pool of untapped, work-ready individuals in the state, according to Iowa Workforce Development. Iowa has been awarded nearly $2.5 million in federal Disability Employment Initiative funds to further improve opportunities to compete for high-demand jobs and help close the skills gap.

During ​ the little-watched pre-Christmas Democratic debate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Donald Tr u m p of being the By Ben Shapiro Islamic State group’s chief recruiter. Relying on her penchant for blaming videos for Islamic evil, she stated that the Islamic State is “showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”

Well, no.

The Islamic State’s videos — the ones that actually exist, not the ones Clinton makes up in her fevered imagination during debate pee breaks — show that the group uses three main themes in its recruitment. First, it talks about Islamic prophecy. In a video released Nov. 24, titled “No Respite,” the narrator explains, in English, over hypnotic chanting: “This is our (caliphate), in all its glory, remaining and expanding. ... It’s a state built on the prophetic methodology, striving to follow the Quran and Sunna. ... We are men honored with Islam who climbed its peaks to perform jihad, answering the call to unite under one flag. This is the source of our glory: our obedience to our Lord. ... We only bow to Allah.”

So much for President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s jabbering nonsensically about the Islamic State’s having nothing to do with Islam.

Second, it talks about its string of victories. The video brags that the group’s territory is “already greater than Britain, eight times the size of Belgium and 30 times the size of Qatar.” It directly challenges America: “You claim to have the greatest army history has known. You may have the numbers and weapons, but your soldiers lack the will and resolve. Still scarred from their defeats in Afghanistan and Iraq, they return dead or sui-

cidal, with over 6,500 of them killing themselves each year.” It claims that America’s airstrikes have accomplished nothing and that the United States’ $250,000 missiles will never be able to defeat the Islamic State and its 50cent bullets. It adds that the United States lacks the power to put boots on the ground.

In other words, it mocks the Obama administration’s agenda. Without losses in Afghanistan and Iraq -- both idiotic and precipitous pullouts by the Obama team -- and without the constant drumbeat from the left that military men and women are poor victims of circumstance, the Islamic State wouldn’t have this particular talking point.

Finally, the Islamic State talks about the emptiness of the West. The group contrasts its own allegiance to Allah with the West’s allegiance to “a secular state -- built on man-made laws -- whose soldiers fight for the interests of ... legislators, liars, fornicators, corporations and for the freedoms of sodomites.” The video flashes pictures of Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. No Trump.

It concludes: “Bring it on, all of you. Your numbers only increase us in faith, and we’re counting your banners, which our prophet said would reach 80 in number, and then the flames of war will finally burn you on the hills of Dabiq. Bring it on, for we echo the mighty call of our prophets. ... Show us no respite. Our ally is the greatest. He is Allah, and all glory belongs to him.”

The reference to Dabiq is to an apocalyptic site in Syria. According to Islamic teachings, it is supposed to host a battle between the Christians and the Muslims that will usher in Armageddon.

So as it turns out, it isn’t Trump whom the Islamic State uses to recruit. It’s the American government -- in particular the victories handed to the group by the American left. Hillary Clinton is a better recruiting tool for the Islamic State than Donald Trump, hands down.

Wife’s payback for cheating husband isn’t worth the price DEAR ABBY: I found out a few months ago that my husband, “Hal,” the father of my children, has had affairs with five different women. I left, and we are now being divorced.

I desperately wanted revenge, so I have been secretly seeing Hal’s good friend “Ron,” whom he “forbade” me from contacting after I told him his infidelity and disrespect gave me permission to act on the attraction I had for Ron. It’s just a friends-with-benefits situation and I am having fun, so I don’t really consider it to be revenge.

Hal has spent the last five months begging me to forgive him and work on our marriage, but I no longer love him and I certainly don’t trust him. I told him I would “work on” forgiving him, so now he calls, says he still loves me and flirts.

The last woman Hal cheated on me with is his current girlfriend. He told me that if I ever want to hook up, I should make sure to use code words when leaving messages because she might see my calls and text messages.

He also told me that he is not interested in a longterm relationship with her.

I slept with Hal recently to have leverage. I was contemplating sending her the proof as payback for how she treated me some months back, although I don’t want her boyfriend back.

I am now questioning if this is the right thing to do. Should I just leave it alone?

— PAYBACK SOMEWHERE IN THE USA DEAR PAYBACK: Yes, do it for everyone’s sake — including your own.

This cycle of revenge is doing no one any good.

DEAR ABBY: Before we had kids, my wife and I would occasionally go out with groups of friends or to social functions, but it was difficult to get her to go home. She always liked closing the place down, and if we left early I felt like I was dragging her away.

For the first five years after our chil-

dren were born we didn’t get out much.

My wife is now starting to go out with friends from work — a mixed group of single and married guys and gals. She has invited me to come along, but sitters are expensive and I’m not friendly with her co-workers. She stays out with them until 3 to 4 a.m. once a month. I think that’s ridiculously late when you have a husband and children at home.

When she’s not here, I can’t sleep and I worry that something is wrong.

She rarely calls to check in unless I ask her to. Overall I trust her, but with her drinking heavily and many single guys around, I don’t feel comfortable with the situation. I don’t know what to do.

— LONELY DAD IN ARIZONA DEAR LONELY DAD: I have it on good authority that last call for serving alcohol in Arizona is 2 a.m.

Could your wife be drinking so heavily that she needs the time to sober up in order to drive home? If that’s the case, she may be a binge drinker, which isn’t healthy.

The implications of your letter are serious, so you should sit down with her and have a discussion about the amount she imbibes on her nights out. You shouldn’t have to worry about her, so out of respect for your feelings, she should routinely let you know how long she’ll be after the bars/clubs close.

DES MOINES — A U.S. district judge in Iowa says plans for a new federal courthouse in Des Moines will resolve issues of limited space at the current facility.

At lottery-fixing trial, prosecutor wants Bigfoot kept out IOWA CITY (AP) — Three friends involved in buying tickets and claiming jackpots that were allegedly fixed by a state lottery insider have something else unusual in common, prosecutors say: They hunt for Bigfoot in their spare time.

In a legal motion that is as strange as the elusive humanoid, Iowa prosecutor Rob Sand asked a judge Monday to bar any discussion of Bigfoot hunting at the upcoming trial of Eddie Tipton, the lottery official accused of fixing multiple jackpots.

“The prejudicial effect could potentially be as strong as Sasquatch itself,” Sand wrote. “Jurors could be incredulous. They could find it unusual enough that it outweighs other evidence in their mind.”

Tipton is the former Multi-State Lottery Association security director who is accused of rigging jackpots in Iowa, Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma from 2005 to 2011 to enrich himself and his friends.

Investigators say he manipulated the computers that run games

for dozens of state lotteries so he could know winning combinations in advance. Then, they say he worked with accomplices including his brother Tommy Tipton to play those numbers and claim jackpots worth millions.

Eddie Tipton has been convicted of fraud in an attempt to claim a $16.5 million Hot Lotto jackpot in Iowa. He’s expected to soon stand trial a second time on charges of ongoing criminal conduct and money laundering related to the jackpots in other states.

Cardinals push No. 1 Bombers to brink in loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals left no doubt they belong on the basketball court with the Class 4A ranked teams. They had top-ranked Ballard on the ropes for two-andhalf quarters Tuesday.

The Bombers showed why they are undefeated down the stretch. They outscored the Cardinals, 30-11, to collect at 5748 victory.

Newton powered itself to a 10-point lead, 37-27, by the midway point of the third quarter. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Courtney Jacobsen lifted the Cardinals to the margin and had the NHS gym rocking.

The Bombers’ Taylor Larson, who was held to six points in the first half, busted things open.

Larson ended up with 27 points, scoring 10 straight points spanning the third and fourth quarters.

Pitcher Leake agrees to $80 million, five-year contract with Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — Minutes after his contract with the St. Louis Cardinals was announced, Mike Leake was looking ahead to rivalry games against the Chicago Cubs.

“Honestly,” he said Tuesday, “I wouldn’t mind taking them down.”

Leake and the Cardinals agreed to an $80 million, fiveyear contract, a move the Cardinals hopes boosts their chances to win a fourth straight NL Central title.

“When we make decisions, it

is about performance,” general manager John Mozeliak said.

“We heard nothing but positives.”

Leake described the Cardinals as a “dynasty.” Before last season, St. Louis had been to the NL Championship Series or deeper four consecutive years.

Leake gets $12 million next year, $15 million in 2017, $17 million in 2018, $16 million in 2019 and $15 million in 2020.

The deal includes an $18 million mutual option for 2021 with a $5 million buyout. Leake

The Bulldogs were up 43-32 at the break and were ahead 65-46 midway of the second half.

Jaylen Franklin led Abilene Christian with 24 points.

Cyclones Continued from Page 1B It was a wild finish to a game of big swings.

The Cyclones (10-1) led by 13 points early in the second half before Troy Caupain led the Bearcats back.

Kevin Johnson’s 15-foot jumper gave Cincinnati (10-3) its first lead with 4:22 left.

After Caupain made one of his two free throws for a 79-78 lead with 33 seconds left, the Cyclones called a timeout and set up a play that would try to get either a 3-point shot for Matt Thomas or a close-up basket by Georges Niang, who had 24 points and 10 rebounds.

Niang wound up with the ball but no open shot, so he passed it to the

Hawkeyes Continued from Page 1B Iowa fired up a season-high 30 3-pointers, connecting on 11. Jok and Baer combined to hit eight of those 3-pointers — an area where the Hawkeyes have seen major improvements from last season.

Cincinnati set up a play for Caupain to try to get inside the defense and draw a foul. He didn’t see an opening and shot a 3-pointer that was Niang long. Gary Clark got the rebound and was short on his putback attempt. Farad Cobb then missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

During his news conference, Leake raised a No. 8 jersey, the number he wore at Arizona State.

Because Leake was traded during last season, the Cardinals will not have to forfeit a compensatory draft pick.

A 28-year-old right-hander, Leake is 64-52 with a 3.88 ERA in six big league seasons.

He was 11-10 with a 3.70 ERA for Cincinnati and San Francisco last season.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll attract people who are spiritual like you. They may not share your religion (or lack of one) and they may not share your belief system, but they stargaze, just like you, in awe of something bigger.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The happy thoughts have energy. The unhappy thoughts, unfortunately, have more. Who notices them?

That person is an empathetic soul who will make your life better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How you landed in your particular support circle is a story of the coming together of thousands of small decisions, circumstances and

impulses. Today you’ll just be glad for the way things panned out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Conversation is inevitable. Be forewarned, this will only be as interesting as the questions you ask. Your best partners in this are Gemini, Libra and other Aquarians.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Being able to process difficult feelings is a skill that you were born with. That doesn’t mean you can’t improve upon the gift. Don’t avoid or procrastinate the thing you know you need to experience.
