Planning Commission to hear alcohol application for Broad Stage facility MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor
When the Santa Monica Planning Commission returns to work Wednesday night, they will hear a new round of alcohol permit applications and a proposal for a new 12-unit building on Ocean Ave. The alcohol applications cover two new restaurants and an existing performance space while the housing project seeks to redevelop a landmarked property. The first alcohol application is the site of the former Hennessey + Ingalls bookstore at 214 Wilshire. The space is currently vacant and a
previous alcohol license for the space has expired. A new application has been filed for a 9,513 square feet restaurant/liquor store (Wally’s Wine and Spirits) adjacent to the California Pizza Kitchen. “The proposed floor plan contains approximately 9,513 squarefeet (4,994 square feet of restaurant space and 4,519 square feet of retail area),” said the staff report. “Wally’s Wine and Spirits specializes in unique and high quality wines and spirits. They have recently expanded their operation to include a selection of food items. Their SEE PLANNING PAGE 7
A look at the facts surrounding Obama immigration program ARTISTS ELLIOT SPAGAT & CHRIS RUGABER Associated Press
The White House took a firm stance on Tuesday in outlining why an immigration program created by President Barack Obama needs to be eliminated. President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions described the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as an unconstitutional action that contributed to a surge in immigration and gang violence in recent years. They also said it hurt the economy by taking jobs away from Americans. Here is a look at the claims made by the administration and the facts: TRUMP: “The temporary implementation of DACA by the
The City’s Santa Monica’s Artist Fellowship program has given two local artists a $20,000 fellowship and three additional local artists will receive $4,000. See Page 3 for more information.
Obama administration, after Congress repeatedly rejected this amnesty-first approach, also helped spur a humanitarian crisis — the massive surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America including, in some cases, young people who would become members of violent gangs throughout our country, such as MS-13.” THE FACTS: Some DACA critics contend that the program signaled to Central American children that they would get similar treatment if they came to the U.S., but there is scant evidence to support the claim. The Government Accountability Office found that the main reasons for the surge of unaccompanied children from El Salvador, Guatemala SEE DACA PAGE 6

COMMUNITY BRIEFS LOS ANGELES
After big reopening, little Los Angeles railroad stops again Four days after its splashy reopening, the Angels Flight railroad in downtown Los Angeles has shut down again. A notice on its website Monday said the funky little funicular would be closed for several days for maintenance. Mayor Eric Garcetti was on hand last Thursday for a ceremony marking the return to service of the 116-year-old line that stretches just 298 feet (90 meters) up Bunker Hill. Before that, the beloved railway had been closed since 2013. A sign posted Monday at the ticket booth says recent extreme weather conditions prompted the maintenance work. No details were given. Angels Flight is a Los Angeles landmark that’s made frequent cameo appearances in movies, including last year’s Oscar-nominated “La La Land.” — ASSOCIATED PRESS

Man suffers serious burns as flames rip through LA apartment Fire officials say a man suffered burns to both arms and a leg when flames ripped through a Los Angeles apartment building. Nearly 50 firefighters responded after the blaze was reported shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday in the Northridge area. City fire spokesman Brian Humphrey says the victim managed to escape but received “significant” burns to his limbs. He was hospitalized in serious condition. No other injuries are reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

City of Santa Monica Grants Artist Fellowships to Diverse Voices Nothing is more important to the landscape of the arts than the process of art making. Santa Monica’s Artist Fellowship program is among the most robust, city-based individual artist support grants in the U.S. The City of Santa Monica is pleased to announce that this year two Santa Monica artists will receive $20,000 fellowships: D’Lo Tamil-Sri Lankan queer/transgender performer and writer, and Dan Kwong, Veteran performance artist, writer, and visual artist. “At a time when artists are being called upon to bring messages of hope, this award makes it easy to address the climate, with the aim of creating more understanding and compassion,” said artist D’Lo. Additionally, three local artists will receive $4,000 Artist Project Fellowships:
Choreographers Christine Suarez and Jacob Jonas, and novelist Mark Sarvas. Now in its eighth year, the Artist Fellowship program recognizes artistic excellence, nourishes the production of new work from the world-class visions and voices of Santa Monica’s rich diversity, and reinforces our community’s high regard for creativity and innovation. “Artists are a vital part of the ecosystem that makes Santa Monica a vibrant city. These fellowship awards are a celebration of the artists who enrich our lives and strengthen our community,” said City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Manager Shannon Daut. The program launched in 2010 as a complement to the City’s arts organizational grant programs, in accordance with Creative Capital, the City’s cultural plan. Award amounts are designed for impact in an arts community that must sustain itself in the context of the City’s high cost of living. “I am deeply honored, and very excited about the possibilities [the Fellowship] creates for me to continue working on my documentary/art video,” says Kwong. The 34 (and counting) recipients of the award are among the City’s most creative and innovative artists, and include filmmaker Meena Nanji, visual artists Analia Saban, Alex Donis and Phyllis Green, choreographers Rudy Perez and Lionel Popkin, theatre/film auteur Patrick Kennelly, and novelists Charles Yu and Laila Lalami, among many others. The year’s award panel included Mecca Vazie Andrews, dancer, choreographer and musician; Tomas Benitez, former Executive Director of Self Help Graphics and L.A. County Arts Commissioner; Irene Borger, author and Director of the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts; and Lorne Buchman, President of Art Center College of Design. ABOUT THE ARTISTS D’Lo is a queer/transgender Tamil-Sri Lankan-American writer/performer whose work ranges from stand-up comedy to solo theater, plays, films, music, poetry and spoken word. Dan Kwong is a veteran performance artist, writer, teacher and visual artist who has been presenting his solo performances since 1989. Jacob Jonas is a choreographer and director. At 13, he joined the Calypso Tumblers, a street-performing group on the Venice boardwalk, and performed with them around the world Mark Sarvas is an American novelist, book reviewer, and blogger. He is the host of the literary blog The Elegant Variation and author of the novel Harry, Revised (Bloomsbury, Spring 2008). Christine Suarez is a choreographer, performer and educator. Born in Caracas, Venezuela and raised in Baton Rouge Louisiana, she has created dance-theater works, site-specific events and dances for theater and film. - SUBMITTED BY CONSTANCE FARRELL, CITY OF SANTA MONICA PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER

New Postmaster Editor:
I am writing regarding the letter from Marisa Miller about the terrible experience she had at the Main Post Office on 7th street. On July 11, 2017 the Santa Monica Daily Press ran an article about the new Postmaster for Santa Monica, Noel Hodges. He has hired two full time complaint resolution specialists to handle customer complaints. I just called the phone #: (310) 255-0419 & a lady by the name of Melba answered immediately. She was very polite and helpful so if Ms. Miller has not done so already, she might try calling that number.

Associated Press
The owner of two of the country’s largest newspapers has purchased the Daily News, a New York tabloid that is famous for generations of hard-punching reporting and irreverent headlines but that has struggled recently to find its place in the digital age. Chicago-based Tronc Inc., the publisher of the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, announced the deal Monday night. The purchase gives Tronc and its chairman, Michael Ferro, who spent most of his childhood on Long Island, another big brand name in old-school journalism. The big question will be whether the company can find a way to make the newspaper lucrative again. The Daily News won a Pulitzer Prize this year but has gone through rounds of layoffs and declining circulation. Tronc CEO Justin Dearborn said acquiring the paper and its popular website would “provide us with another strategic platform for growing our digital business, expanding our reach and broadening our services for advertisers and marketers,” and both Tronc and Daily News executives said the company would maintain the quality of the paper’s journalism. “Over the past near-century, the New York Daily News has served New York City and its surrounding areas with its awardwinning journalism and helped shape the dynamics of the city,” said outgoing News owner, Mort Zuckerman. A New York real estate magnate, he had owned the paper since 1993. The deal puts the Daily News under the umbrella of one of the nation’s major newspaper chains, with properties spanning from the Hartford Courant in Connecticut to the Sun-Sentinel in South Florida. Tronc — which evolved from Daily News founder the Tribune Co. — has said it aims to focus on tech-driven initiatives involving artificial intelligence and global expansion in entertainment news and video. With the Daily News, Tronc gets a presence in the New York media market, a news site with about 25 million unique monthly visitors and other assets. Under the terms of the deal, Tronc said it assumed the Daily News’ operational and pension liabilities and got 100 percent ownership of its Jersey City, New Jersey, printing plant and a 49.9 percent interest in the plant’s 25-acre (10-hectare) property, which
overlooks the Manhattan skyline. With the deal, News Editor-in-Chief Arthur Browne was also named publisher, though he plans to retire at the end of the year. Founded in 1919, the Daily News considers itself “New York’s Hometown Newspaper,” informing everyday New Yorkers about their city and more. It has been known over the years for zesty headlines — perhaps most notably “Ford to City: Drop Dead” during the New York’s financial woes in 1975 — gossip, city coverage and star columnists who included Jimmy Breslin, Pete Hamill and Liz Smith. Lately, the tabloid has also attracted attention with its unsparing criticism of President Donald Trump. (Trump, in return, branded the paper “worthless” and Zuckerman “dopey” in tweets last year.) The Daily News and ProPublica together won this year’s Pulitzer Prize in public service journalism for uncovering how authorities used an obscure law to evict hundreds of people, mostly poor minorities, from their homes. It was the Daily News’ 11th Pulitzer Prize, and the fifth during Zuckerman’s tenure. But the paper has also contended with the troubles that have affected newspapers in general as readership and ad dollars have shifted online, without making up for the decline in print revenue. Total newspaper revenue fell 11 percent from 2012 to 2016 as average daily print circulation slipped 13 percent, according to a June report by the consulting and audit firm PwC. It added that while newspapers’ online advertising revenue has been increasing, other entities have captured much of the growth in digital ad dollars. The Daily News also grappled with a muscular hometown tabloid rival, the News Corp.-owned New York Post. Zuckerman eyed selling the Daily News in 2015 but ultimately took it off the market. The newspaper’s struggles are “really typical of former print powerhouses in the digital age,” said former Editor-in-Chief Kevin Convey, now a journalism professor at Quinnipiac University. He said the competing pressures of building a big online audience without abandoning print readers and revenue were tangible even during his tenure, from 2010 into 2012. “You have to execute that pivot really, really quickly, and it’s really, really hard,” he said Tuesday. But with the Daily News’ sale, “at least it lives to fight another day.”

We’re fighting Nazis again? IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE
Where once the American dream, battered and beat down, certainly in the 21st century, still clung to life. Washington has always been a crazy place, with its power corrupting absolutely. Sometimes you are tempted to just ignore it and enjoy a sunny day at the beach. But lately, those days have been clouded over by Trump’s white supremacist thumbs up washing ashore here. Yessir, we got trouble, right here in River City. And it’s landed at our venerable Church in Ocean Park. The Reverend there, Janet Gollery McKeithen, has been very involved in a local organization called the Committee for Racial Justice (CRJ). Their last two monthly meetings have been hijacked by swarms of white supremacists, she told me, “around 50 at the last one, and they are promising even more for this Sunday’s September meeting in Virginia Park,” which begins at 6 p.m. “It’s a public meeting so we can’t exclude anyone,” she explained. Last month most of the white supremacist demonstrators remained outside the library meeting room, and “the epithets and hate and violent things they were yelling and chanting, in front of children no less, was pretty shocking and hard to hear,” she said. She said there are hundreds of far right hate groups but the one that claimed responsibility for organizing the marches in Charlottesville, where a young woman was murdered and 19 injured when a man drove his car into the crowd -- the Red Elephants -- is the same one involved in the Santa Monica protests.
BUT WAIT!
There’s some other cheerful news originating from the Church in Ocean Park. There is a folk singer of unique talent and grace, voice and words, who used to perform in Santa Monica and is returning this Friday, to McCabe’s. You should definitely get yourself there to hear him. His name is Tom Brosseau and unless you are deep in the folk world you may not know about him. He’s pretty famous there, tours the world. Or, if you are one of the followers of the Church in Ocean Park’s Sanctuary music night, you may have been fortunate to catch one of his occasional but regular appearances there. His high, clear tenor is kind of magical, and his latest CD, “North Dakota Impressions,” a delight that grows more dear with every listen. Sanctuary itself is a bit irregular. It’s held once a month on a Friday night, but randomly, for the last 10 years or so. The last time I saw Tom there he brought along actor-musician John C. Reilly for duets, and it was a pure delight. “Tom’s crowd was always a little different,” McKeithen told me. “Contemplative. Sit down and really listen. They seem to like him not only for his music but for who he is.” I say amen to that. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Did you notice a huge
change in the “new” Whole Foods? I didn’t either. A mound of rock hard small avos “on sale” for a buck 49 each, a burger or veggie burger off the grill out front for 8 bucks, and they were no longer giving teeny tiny sliver tastes of the pizza. Feh. The best thing about Whole Foods is still DJ Dave’s “It’s Getting REAL in the Whole Foods Parking Lot” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFc1p r2yUU -- 6M views and still funny and true. You will recognize the parking lots, yo. QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “It’s a marvelous night for
a moondance, with the stars up above in your eyes, a fantabulous night to make romance ‘neath the cover of October skies.” - Van Morrison

things about us on social media, claiming we’re a bunch of rich Jews from Brentwood who are going into the schools teaching children to hate whites.” She chuckled, very slightly, certainly ironically. “They’ve gone after the CRJ board members, claiming they are anti-white racists,” she said. “They probably don’t know that the board is evenly split racially, five blacks and five whites.” McKeithen said representatives of CRJ met with the Santa Monica Police Department, the City Attorney’s office and other city staff including parks, prior to the last meeting, and anticipating the one this Sunday. They also organized an introduction to nonviolent training and two workshops, today at 2 and Friday evening at 7, at the Church, urging everyone who planned to be at the CRJ meeting Sunday to prepare by attending those trainings. Ordinarily, McKeithen said, all their energy and preparation now would be for their 19th annual Communitas celebration, which “honors individuals who are making the world a better place,” 4:30 Saturday at the Church. “But you do what you’ve got to do, when you’ve got to do it,” she said.

Frank Zappa assured us, 50 years ago. Everybody’s safe and it can’t happen here, no, no, it won’t happen here, I’m telling you my dear that it can’t happen here. Of course, he was being sarcastic, and he was referring in the mid-’60s to the youth of America becoming “freaks,” meaning… well, you know what it meant. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. Turning the establishment on its head, in every cultural and political way. Freedom. Creative self expression. And no violence or hatred. (Yes, things did change, but that is a whole other story.) What I didn’t know at the time was that he took the title and theme from the 1935 Sinclair Lewis (“Main Street,” “Babbitt,” “Elmer Gantry”) anti-fascist novel, which featured a protagonist who whips up a following among angry voters through fear mongering populism, firebrand rhetoric and antiMexican sentiment. If I suspected Donald Trump had ever read a book… (Maybe he came across the Classics Illustrated comic.) Who could have known that there were just enough fools to vote P.T. Barnum in. It was a fascist campaign from the get go, and condoning, even urging violence against anyone not in the fold. So it should have been no surprise that the ultra right, the white supremacists, the neo nazis, felt legitimized by this President and emboldened come out from their holes to take their despicable hatred to the streets. And then, of course, he doubled down by saying some of them were “very fine people.” Instead of what he should have said about the whole lot of them and anyone who would even be seen with them.

and Honduras in 2014 were crime and lack of economic opportunity at home. Other reasons included education concerns, desire to rejoin family and aggressive recruiting by smugglers. The 2015 GAO report said perceptions of U.S. immigration policy played a part, specifically because some believed that prospects for a broad overhaul of U.S. immigration laws would include a path to citizenship for those already in the country. The 25page report made no mention of DACA. At a lengthy congressional hearing in June on unaccompanied children who belong to the El Salvador-based MS-13 gang, senior administration officials made no mention DACA. Carla Provost, the acting Border Patrol chief, said 160 unaccompanied children who were arrested crossing the border since 2012 were suspected of having gang affiliations, including with the MS-13. But none of the officials offered any estimate of how many are currently in the U.S. and whether they became members after coming to the country. ___ SESSIONS: DACA “denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens.” WHITE HOUSE SPOKESWOMAN SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS: “There are over 4 million unemployed Americans in the same age group as those that are DACA recipients; that over 950,000 of those are African-Americans in the same age group; over 870,000 unemployed Hispanics in the same age group. Those are large groups of people that are unemployed that could possibly have those jobs.” THE FACTS: Few economists or business leaders subscribe to the administration’s view. The unemployment rate is near a 16year low, and U.S. companies are seeking to fill 6.2 million jobs, the most on records dating from 2001. Many companies are practically begging for more workers. Some analysts argue that automation in factories and warehouses is picking up in part because of

a shortage of available employees. For the economy to grow, it needs both more workers and to make those workers more efficient through investments in machinery and technology. The U.S. population is aging, more people are retiring, and that has restrained the economy’s growth in the 9-year recovery from the Great Recession. Immigrants help offset that trend. Immigrants are also more likely than native-born Americans to start companies, which leads to greater job creation. The unemployment rate for African Americans fell in June to nearly the lowest level on records dating back to 1976. It has since moved higher, but it is low by historical standards. Even in a healthy economy, some Americans will be unemployed as they switch jobs or start looking for work after completing their educations. ___ TRUMP: “Officials from 10 States are suing over the program, requiring my Administration to make a decision regarding (DACA’s) legality. The Attorney General of the United States, the Attorneys General of many states, and virtually all other top legal experts have advised that the program is unlawful and unconstitutional and cannot be successfully defended in court.” THE FACTS: It’s a stretch to say that “virtually all other top legal experts” believe DACA is unconstitutional. It is a highly contested issue. More than 100 law school professors and university lecturers wrote Trump in August to insist it’s legal. “In our view, there is no question that DACA 2012 is a lawful exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Our conclusions are based on years of experience in the field and a close study of the U.S. Constitution, administrative law, immigration statutes, federal regulations and case law,” they wrote. Ten state attorneys general threatened to challenge DACA in June. One of them, Tennessee’s Herbert H. Slatery III, shifted course on Friday, urging Congress to act and saying there was “a human element ... that is not lost on me and should not be ignored.”

Helmet company accused of failure to finish recalls

BOURGET FLAGSTONE CO. Your Local Supplier Since 1947 1810 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica 310.829.4010 | bourgetbros.com
A California motorcycle helmet distributor is in trouble with the U.S. government over allegations that it failed to give refunds for helmets that won’t protect people in a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted Tuesday that it’s investigating Tegol Inc. of Los Angeles. The agency says it has 48 complaints from consumers that Tegol is not providing refunds for recalled helmets and isn’t responding to inquiries. Tegol also isn’t complying with requirements that it make quarterly reports on the recall’s progress despite numerous letters and warnings from the agency, the documents say. The investigation covers nearly 62,000 helmets imported from China that were in five recalls dating to 2012. Agency tests found the problem with the helmets not protecting people. In some cases, the helmets may not stay secured to a person’s head in a crash, according to NHTSA. Included are Hawk GLD-900 helmets as well as Outlaw V-5, Slim-G, AX-3, AX-4, TG-5, AX-30010, AX-30020 and AX-30030. The company did not respond to several telephone and email messages seeking comment on Tuesday. — ASSOCIATED PRESS

Beverly Hills location has further expanded to include on-site dining. Like their Beverly Hills location, the new operation on Wilshire will offer a full-service menu, which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner items. The restaurant portion of the operation will total 4,994 square feet, with a patron area of 2,845 square feet. The patron seating will total 185, including 149 seats on the main floor and 36 seats in a private mezzanine dining/bar area.” No outdoor seating area, dance or live entertainment areas are proposed for the restaurant. According to the report, the retail space/floor plan includes 4,519 square feet of wine, liquor and deli retail area located on the first floor. The mezzanine area will consist of 1,211 square feet with a 188 square foot bar, 445 square feet of private dining and 578 square feet of retail storage. Staff are recommending approval of the license. The second is for the sale of alcohol at the Broad Stage and adjacent facilities. The Stage is part of the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center at 1310 11th Street. In addition to The Broad, the location houses the smaller Edye black box theater, the East Wing Concert Hall and the Barret Art Gallery. The application is to allow beer and wine sales in conjunction with performances and events and in some cases in the outdoor spaces adjacent to the performance space. Alcohol has already been available at the location through special daily licenses with no complaints and according to the application, a standing license would streamline operations. Staff are not making a yes or no recommendation on the application but they do conclude the proposed license would be consistent with the City’s zoning rules. The third proposal is for a new brewpub/tasting room (The Dudes’

Taproom Brewing Company) on the third floor of the Santa Monica Place mall. “The applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for the operation of a 175-seat (116 interior seats and 59 outdoor patio seats) beer sampling/tasting room offering on-site and off-site sale and consumption of craft beer,” said the report. “A Type 23 (Small Beer Manufacturer or Microbrewery) alcohol license is being requested. The use would operate in conjunction with a restaurant within an existing 3,794 square foot tenant space on the third floor of the Santa Monica Place mall formerly occupied by Pizza Antica.” The beer would be brewed offsite (in Torrance) and transported to the restaurant in kegs. Staff are recommending approval of the license. The Commission will also hear an application to redevelop a landmarked property on Ocean Avenue. “The project at 423-429 Ocean Avenue proposes new construction of a two- threeand four-story, 12-unit condominium development with three new buildings, a landscaped courtyard, and subterranean parking improvements built in approximately the same footprint as the three extant City Landmark designated residential structures on site,” said the staff report. The developers are proposing to keep several of the sites “defining features” such as the courtyard, portions of the original buildings and specific architectural details. Affordable housing requirements will be met by two on-site ownership units (twobedroom) for moderate-income households and a fee for the remaining 0.4 fractional unit obligation. Planning Commission meets on Wednesday, September 6 at 7 p.m. in City Hall, 1685 Main St.

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON AUGUST 22, 2017 AT ABOUT 1:16 P.M. Officers responded to a radio call for service at Vons Supermarket -710 Broadway regarding a robbery that just occurred. The reporting party indicated the suspect was attempting to steal beer and threatened store employees with a taser. The suspect was last seen fleeing in the parking lot. The possible suspect was located near the 7-11 Store at 630 Wilshire Blvd. Officers determined the suspect entered the store and was immediately recognized by the security guard as a prior theft suspect. The security guard monitored the suspect and told the suspect he was not allowed in the store and needed to leave. The suspect proceeded to select a 24 pack of beer and walked towards the exit. The security guard told the suspect to put the beer down and exit the store. The suspect pulled out a taser from his waistband and threatened the security guard. The suspect exited the store with the beer. The suspect was identified by the victim and taken into custody. Christopher Lee Foley, 32, from Santa Monica was arrested for robbery. Bail was set at $100,000.

■ If you want people to get vaccinated against a new virus, a good first thing to do is give the virus a very scary name. Researchers asked 16,500 people in 11 countries to read an article about a pandemic flu spreading in their region, then fill out a survey inquiring if they were worried about contracting the flu and their thoughts on getting vaccinated. ■ The article was the same with one distinction. The fictitious flu described had different names: H11N3, horse flue and Yarraman flu, named after an Aboriginal word for horse. Study participants were much less worried about “horse flu” than H11N3 or Yarraman. The findings, report STAT, underscore the importance of effective communication when it comes to public health.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 6)
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
Though you’re a peaceful spirit, metaphorically you’ll change from hunter to trapper this year: You’ll stop stalking what you want and build an irresistible lure to attract it instead. After November’s victory, your guiding principle will be: How can I help? A path of service will lead to a grand adventure. Leo and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 18, 31, 6 and 22.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You’ll find that you don’t have time to do all that’s proposed, implied or expected. But if you refrain from anything resembling a complaint or a worry, your energy will double up and you’ll be most productive.
No one is holding back with you today. It’s like there’s a collective belief that you’re strong, calm and capable -- that you can handle the good, the bad, the truth. They’re right.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) What seems precious and limited is not, it turns out, so rare and scarce after all. So if, in the frenzy of production, you lose a bit of it here and there, don’t worry. There will be plenty more very soon. Keep producing.
People can count on you to behave in a particular way in most situations. Today you’ll manage to accomplish something very difficult. You’ll be simultaneously appropriate and surprising.
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Your inner drive to teach, help and mentor others is stronger than usual today. In fact, if you don’t have people around you who need guidance, you’ll attract some.
Respect is shown through good manners, common courtesy and adherence to expectations of behavior. Any breech in this regard will pack more punch than usual today, but things go smoothly if you follow the rules.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Getting things done leads to confidence. Confidence leads to decisiveness. Decisiveness leads to action. Action leads to momentum. Momentum leads to success. So start getting things done.
When you recognize the lingering shadow of loneliness over a person or over an area of your own life, let it be an invitation instead of a condition. Reach out in compassion. Make a connection.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You interrupt the pattern and take control. They don’t know what you’re going to do next. (You do!) They don’t know what the whole thing is leading to. (You do!) They’re a little offbalance. (They hold on to you.) Lead the way.
It starts with curiosity. You really do want to understand your surroundings much better. As you follow your instincts and impulses you capture the imagination (and support) of others along the way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Meeting new people will be the highlight of your day. In a way, people are all the same. You find this reassuring. In more ways, people are different, and those subtle differences will be a source of wonderment today.
Your attitude is a response to your worldview. What you’re learning is changing how you see the world. So your beliefs and, by extension, your attitude will change, too.

Cosmic Attraction and the Full Moon Attraction isn’t a natural force of the universe; it’s the natural force. With the full moon in Pisces drawing up passionate feelings, the people, work, things and ideas we are very attracted to will have an even stronger pull than usual. This goes beyond a habit of thought or a bodily sensation. Some feelings are more akin to spiritual convergence.
