Let’s All Go Back to the Lobby

After a year on hiatus, the Loft Film Fest welcomes Tucson back to the movies Matthew Singer Tucson Local Media

F

or Jeff Yanc, the best part of going to the movies is going to the movies.

In other words, it’s not just about seeing a movie, but the communal experience surrounding it—gathering with strangers in a dark room, gazing up at the same screen, reacting in real time to whatever pops up on it and discussing its merits in the lobby afterward. It’s the guiding principle behind the Loft, Tucson’s premiere independent cinema, and especially its titular annual film festival, for which Yanc serves as co-director. And

so, last year, when a certain global health crisis made gathering in any enclosed space inadvisable, he and the other organizers faced a hard choice: follow the lead of many other festivals and go virtual, or go dark completely.

They chose the latter.

“Our goal with the festival, in my mind, has always been about connecting audiences with each other and with film,” says Yanc, who also programs films at the Loft year-round. “That in-person component is really the driving force of the fest, because it’s not just about watching movies, it’s about being around people, which you can’t really replicate virtually. You can

do Zoom discussions and chats and things like that, but it’s not the same thing, and we didn’t really want to do that. So we just skipped it entirely.”

It was, in retrospect, the right decision, Yanc says.

But for the local film community, the cancellation left a significant void.

Since it started in 2010, the Loft Film Fest has sought to bring the best of the festival circuit to Tucson, culling from the likes of Sundance, Venice and Cannes and screening indie and foreign films that may otherwise never make it here. Again, though, it’s not just about the movies—the city has other film festivals, after all. Most of them, how-

Tis the Season To Designate a Driver.

“Who is driving tonight and who is drinking?”

Remember: • To always designate a driver.

• Have a plan in place for how you will be getting home.

• Hand your car keys over early to the designated driver.

• Never drive impaired!

This quick, honest question can save lives and ensure that everyone gets home safely and enjoys this festive time of year.

ever, are dispersed among multiple venues, or aimed at niche audiences. Concentrated under a single roof, with a lineup ranging from intense dramas to light comedies to bizarre genre mashups, the Loft Film Fest is, for a week every year, the center of Tucson’s cinematic universe. To lose that, even temporarily, stung, not just for the city’s hardcore cinephiles but the international filmmakers who rely on festivals to drum up buzz and get their work onto more screens.

For that reason, this year’s installment, taking place Nov. 10-18, carries a bit more weight. While the Loft itself resumed indoor screenings in May, the return of the festival feels like a true homecoming—a confirmation that, after a year stuck watching movies from the couch, we can start actually going to the movies again.

“It certainly has emotional significance, because it is a sign for us who work here of getting back to what we were doing before the pandemic,” Yanc says.

“But I think it’s also just a signal that the industry of movie theaters and festivals is getting back. It’s a sign of health for the whole industry.”

And when he says the festival is back, he means all-the-way back, not the half-in-person, half-digital model adopted by many of the festivals Yanc attended this year. All 41 selections will screen exclusively at the Loft, either inside the theater or in the parking lot at its Open-Air Cinema, which the theater devised in

“Holy Frit” tells the story of Tim Carey, who wins a bid to build the largest stained glass for a megachurch—and then has to figure out how to work in stained glass. order to stay afloat during the pandemic.

Of course, given that the pandemic isn’t actually over, the festival won’t operate exactly the same as it has before. Capacity for the indoor screenings will be halved, and entry requires either proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test; masks must still be worn in the lobby and bathrooms as well. And then there’s the lack of bigname guests. In the past, the festival has managed to book several high-profile actors and directors, including Rita Moreno, John Waters and Roger Corman, for live introductions and post-screening Q&As. This year, the only person you’re likely to see onstage is Yanc.

“In a normal year, a guest will drive what films we show,” says Peggy Johnson, the Loft’s executive director. “It’s really an interesting year to have it just be about the quality of the films.”

That isn’t to say there aren’t any marquee names involved, however. The festival is bookended by two major draws: Parallel Mothers, the new melodrama from Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar, and Julia, a crowd-pleasing

documentary on beloved chef Julia Child. In between, there’s Kubrick on Kubrick, a film about the legendary Stanley Kubrick constructed around previously unheard audio recordings; The Humans, an adaptation of Stephen Karam’s Tony-winning play, starring Richard Jenkins, Minari’s Steven Yeun and, uh, Amy Schumer; A Hero, from Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012 for A Separation; and a screening of the Buster Keaton classic Sherlock Jr., featuring a live score from the American Harp Society and Arizona Friends of Chamber Music.

But the best part of any film festival are the movies you never saw coming—those unexpected discoveries you would have otherwise never thought to see that end up sticking with you. Here are eight under-the-radar films that we’ll definitely be making time for.

CHAMELEON STREET If the reviews quoted on its Wikipedia page are any indication, Chameleon Street just wasn’t made for the times it was made in.

Sure, it won the Grand Jury

5

Foothills News, November 10, 2021

Prize at Sundance in 1990, but critics couldn’t wrap their heads around the movie’s digressive structure, and it struggled to find distribution. It eventually faded into a cinematic footnote, and Wendell B. Harris, Jr., who wrote, directed and starred, never got the chance to make another feature. But with daring, off-kilter examinations of the African-American experience now de rigeur at the multiplex, the world may finally be ready to embrace the story of a Black con artist who takes the concept of “code switching” to absurd new levels. This 4K restoration threatens to make Chameleon Street the next Sorry to Bother You—nevermind that it originally came out 28 years earlier. Open air screening at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10.

HOLY FRIT Speaking of con artists, meet Tim Carey, an actual artist who, in 2013, effectively conned his way into a commission to create the world’s largest stained glass window for a Kansas megachurch, despite having no idea how to work with stained glass. Whoops. To get it done within the threeyear deadline, he brings in the amazingly named Narcissus Quagliata, described as the Michael Jordan of glass work, to assist, and their strained, intergenerational mentor-student relationship forms the center of Justin S. Monroe’s documentary. It looks like mad fun, but paired with Chameleon Street, it also sparks a conversation about who in society gets labeled a “scammer” and who is simply a “charming rogue.”

That’s probably not the intent, but unexpected discussions are what all film

festivals should aim to start.

Open air screening at 8 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 11.

THE NOVICE In this study of competitive drive gone way the hell overboard, writer-director Lauren Hadaway wrings white-knuckle tension from one woman’s obsessive desire to advance up the ranks of her school’s rowing team.

Isabelle Fuhrman stars as a college freshman who essentially wakes up one day and decides to become a varsity-level athlete, pushing herself to physical, psychological and presumably ethical extremes to get there.

Yanc singles out The Novice as one of his favorites of the festival, comparing it to other portraits of sociopathic striving such as Whiplash and Black Swan. It doesn’t have a trailer yet, so you’ll have to take his word for it, but if you’re a regular at the Loft, you already know you can trust him. Screening at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 11.

AFTER BLUE All film festivals need a dose of madness, and this bonkers-looking French production certainly seems dosed with something. “An erotic sci-fi acid western” is Yanc’s best shot at a neat description, although from the looks of it, “Nicholas Winding Refn remaking Babarella using the leftover catering budget from Drive” might also work.

In any case, as much as we all love Argentinian family dramas and heartwarming comedies about gardening, a hallucinatory fever dream featuring intergalactic bounty hunters searching for a killer on a planet that’s inhospitable to male DNA is always a welcome diversion, particu-

larly for a rowdy late-night screening. A good deal of reviews note that the plot is tangential to the glittering, lo-fi set design, throbbing synth score and general aura of stylish weirdness, and honestly, that just makes it sound even better.

Screening at 10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 11.

LUCHADORAS As any longtime fan of professional wrestling knows—this writer’s hand is raised—the sport-cum-performance art can be a vehicle for more than campy entertainment, especially in Mexico, where lucha libre is part of the folk tradition and not just a geek subculture.

Luchadoras follows three women on the verge of breaking into the business, and while each subject has a different reason for doing so, just stepping in the ring serves to challenge the toxic machismo of the culture that surrounds them—a particularly bold statement in Ciudad Juarez, a city notorious for its high rate of murder among women. It seems reductive to call this documentary “the truelife GLOW,” but the sociopolitical overtones and beautifully shot grappling sequences should appeal even to those viewers who don’t know a tope suicida from a hurricanrana.

Screening at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12.

FREELAND If the Loft gave out acting awards, Yanc says the betting odds would be on Krisha Fairchild, who stars in this meditative drama as an aging pot farmer struggling to adapt her business to the legal use era.

Indeed, the trailer shows glimpses of a performance

so naturalistic it’s easy to mistake for a documentary at first. It might as well be one: Shot clandestinely on actual illicit cannabis grows in Northern California, Freeland tells a deeply relevant story, especially for a newly legal state like Arizona. Yes, it’s great that weed prohibition is gradually ending. But just because the War on Drugs is letting up, doesn’t mean there aren’t still casualties.

Open air screening at 8 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 13.

STRAWBERRY MANSION If After Blue is like dropping acid with Alejandro Jodoworsky at the edge of space, Strawberry Mansion appears to be like ’shrooming with Michel Gondry inside a child’s playhouse.

Set in a candy-colored alternate reality—or perhaps not-so-distant future—

No better place to call home for the Holidays!

where the government is allowed access to people’s dreams, an auditor visits a reclusive artist and starts rooting around in her subconscious, and what follows looks something like an ’80s Jim Henson production inceptioned into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In the trailer alone, there’s a werewolf, giant talking rats in sailor outfits, a frog playing saxophone, a large caterpillar inching across the desert, comets with human faces and some kind of blue horned sea demon. The tone is more whimsical than wigged-out, but it’s still plenty psychedelic, so plan your “enhancements” accordingly. Screening at 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13.

CATCH THE FAIR ONE According to Yanc, an unofficial theme of this year’s festival slate is wom-

en fighting against the patriarchy, and no film takes that idea more literally than this revenge thriller from director Josef Kubota Wladyka and executive producer Darren Aronofsky—although in this case, “fighting” might be too weak of a word. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say it’s a movie about “beating the everloving piss” out of the patriarchy. Real-life boxer Kali Reis stars as a former Native American boxing champion in search of her missing sister, who ends up infiltrating a sex trafficking ring and punching a bunch of shitty dudes very hard in the ribs. Despite that synopsis, the intense, grim pallor of the trailer suggests something much heavier than a female-fronted flip on the Taken formula... but if it was just a female Taken, would that really be so bad? Screening at 5 p.m.

Riding the Wave The Beach Boys haven’t stopped making music Madison Perales

Special to Tucson Local Media

T

he Beach Boys’ Mike Love played a couple drive-in shows during the pandemic, but nothing comes close to hitting a proper stage.

The band will perform at Casino Del Sol on Friday, November 12, as part of its 29-date “Feel Flows World Tour.”

“We are so happy to be able to get back out and do concerts,” Love says. “Live music with real people is great because we were unable to for a year and a half or two.”

Like everyone around the world, the pandemic had an adverse effect on The Beach Boys, who were forced to cancel their tour.

“We had the biggest tour of our career lined up, then COVID hit, and it all went away,” Love says.

But that didn’t stop them from making music.

“We were able to do a song called ‘This Too Shall Pass,’”

Love says.

Even though the members were unable to meet in-person, they recorded their parts with microphones, computers and phones and sent their recordings to actor/drummer John Stamos, who created the video.

“I wanted to say something positive to look forward to,” Love says. “We’re actually performing it every night in our concert. We do the encore, then we finish up with our classic ‘Fun, Fun, Fun.’” COVID-19 is lingering, but Love isn’t too concerned about touring during the pandemic.

“I was vaccinated months and months ago so that’s no problem,” Love says.

The Beach Boys started the “Feel Flows World Tour” in May. These past five months created noteworthy moments for Love, like when the audience reacts to the hit “Kokomo.”

“We have several big sing-alongs like ‘Help Me

Rhonda’ and ‘California Girls,’” Love says. “But ‘Kokomo’ is by far the biggest sing-along, and to me, that’s the most special part of the concert.”

The band kicked off the tour on May 29 in San Diego, where it spiced up the show with special guests John Stamos and Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray. “I just think it’s special for John and Mark to show up because it’s unexpected and it gives us a whole other element of surprise,” Love says. “They’re both so engaging and add so much positive energy to our

performances.”

McGrath will also appear on the Beach Boys cruise from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas, in March.

“We have the Temptations, the Monkees, and a Beatles tribute band called A Hard Day’s Night,” Love says. “It’s going to be nonstop music on that cruise.”

The Beach Boys was formed in 1961. Love says The Beach Boys were founded on lyrics about romance, California girls and the beach life.

“That still exists in little pockets in Southern California,” Love says.

While the lyrics from some of their hits still resonate with listeners, the touring environment has changed a lot since the ’60s.

“COVID doesn’t have that much of an effect on the audience response,” Love says. “But technically, the performances are better these days because the sound is better, the production is better, and the venues are great.”

As for the Tucson show, fans can expect nostalgic songs from the ’60s.

“Expect all the hit singles you can associate with the Beach Boys catalog and some songs that are more so perhaps,” Love says.

The setlist includes “God Only Knows,” which was sung by Carl Wilson, who died in 1998 from lung cancer. Love’s son, Christian, takes over vocal duties.

“He does a beautiful job on that song,” Love says.

“It’s almost as if it was written for him.”

A tribute to George Harrison, “Pisces Brothers” is also featured. Love and

The Beach Boys 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 12 Casino Del Sol, 5655 W. Valencia Road Tickets start at $30 casinodelsol.com

Harrison’s birthdays are in February and March. He references Hari Krishna, meditation, “Here Comes the Sun” and other subjects that Love holds dearly to his heart when he thinks of Harrison.

“It’s a very sentimental song because George passed away and when he died, I was feeling pretty sad about it,” Love says. “I did the song as a combination of things that George really loved and things we both appreciated... That song (‘Pisces Brothers’) wasn’t a hit but it’s very sentimental and a really nice moment in the show.”

Day of the Dead cookbook combines culture and cuisine for a borderlands feast

By Jeff Gardner

jeff@tucsonlocalmedia.com

A

nyone who’s participated in a Day of the Dead parade knows how plentiful and unique the festivities are. In Tucson, the holiday is even more specialized. So in order to capture the various sides of Day of the Dead, a book would have to draw on numerous sources and cultures—and that’s exactly what a cook and photographer couple have done.

In their new book Dining with the Dead: A Feast for the Souls on Day of the Dead, Mariana Nuño Ruiz and Ian McEnroe gather more than 100 recipes and variations to show the complexity and history of one of the Southwest’s favorite holidays.

Dining with the Dead is both a cookbook and a cultural journey, teaching about food and drinks, but also the traditions,

history and stories passed on by individual families.

Research for the project took Ruiz and McEnroe throughout Mexico and they gathered recipes and history from libraries, local cooks, cultural historians and native families.

“The theme of the cookbook came from our editor Aaron Downey, who contacted us after stumbling upon our blog post about Día de Muertos,” Ruiz said. “Because Día de Muertos involves so much more than food, we knew the book needed to be structured differently from a regular cookbook.

So we proposed a book that contained all the aspects of the tradition; from its history, origins, culture, and how Día de Muertos is celebrated today in Mexico.”

Ruiz and McEnroe are currently based out of Austin, but Ruiz grew up in Mexico and drew on her own family’s traditions for much of the book. The

couple began their work in 2016 with a trip to “the source” of Day of the Dead, Michoacán in western Mexico. Ruiz is a cook and McEnroe is a photographer, making them a team to collect and document the many dishes and recipes of the holiday.

“For me, many of the recipes were like family heirlooms,” Ruiz said. “In Mexico, each place has its own customs and celebrations. It’s very regional.

For example, in Yucatan there’s a special tamal called pibipollo that is especially made for Dia de Muertos. In Oaxaca they use mole negro, and in Michoacán they use tamales with seasonal produce.

Every state has its own celebratory food, and each family has its own traditions… For example with mole poblano, there can be more than 100 or 1,000 different recipes just in the city of Puebla.”

Their research involved attending festivities at multiple cemeteries and cities throughout Mexico, as well as the Latin American Collection library at the University of Texas at Austin.

“It was also amazing to

have the opportunity to learn more about my own culture,” Ruiz said. “The most important thing for us was to ask people who were living the traditions.

And that while we were there, we were able to experience it and learn more from them.”

McEnroe and Ruiz worked on the book through 2019, cooking and photographing every one of the recipes. Ruiz also included her personal stories related to the food and the holiday. However, just as they were preparing to print the book, the pandemic obstructed the process. McEnroe estimates the book would have been printed more than a year ago if not for the delay.

As a result, the publisher created a successful Kickstarter campaign to support the book, released on October 15.

“It’s hard to specify which of the recipes are my favorite. But if I had to pick a few, I’d say cochinita pibil from Yucatan is my favorite savory recipe. It’s a very delicious pork recipe with unique seasoning. And pan de muerto is my favorite sweet recipe.

The pan de muerto recipe

leaves you with something tasty that can be enjoyed on its own, or accompanying coffee or cocoa,” McEnroe said. “Those are the ones I come back to a lot, and I think other people would do well to try them at home.”

Ruiz hopes that the book helps reconnect Mexican people currently living in the United States with their roots, saying that if they see a recipe in

the book that their families used to prepare, it may help restart the tradition or maybe even form new ones.

“I think the overall concept of the book is important to understand. It’s really a journey through Mexican culture,” McEnroe said. “It’s certainly a cookbook first and foremost, but it’s been shaped and restructured to help an individual who is curious to take a journey into a culture that is beautiful.

You can better understand how this tradition originated and how it resonates with the people of Mexico today.”

“Dining with the Dead: A Feast for the Souls on Day of the Dead” is now available from Tucson-based Rio Nuevo Publishers. For more information, visit rionuevo.com

Cold beer for a good cause: Roadrunners team up with craft brewers Matt Russell

Special to Inside Tucson Business

C

all it a power play for the palate.

I wasn’t much of a hockey fan until my friend and local hockey maven Danny Plattner hosted me for my first Tucson Roadrunners game in 2018. The team was in first place, maximizing the thrill of the moment with what appeared to be a near-capacity crowd at the Tucson Arena, but it was the mere speed and spirit of the game that kept me on my feet.

Another expression of the game’s spirit is the Roadrunners’ commitment to community causes which will be evident in suds—er, spades—three hours before faceoff at the Nov. 13 home game.

It’s called Hockey and Hops, a beer garden with 11 regional brewers that will pop-up outside the Tucson Convention Center prior to the game.

Event proceeds will go to Roadrunners Give Back, a foundation that supports local non-profit or-

ganizations that promote healthcare, education, and cultural arts programs for children, servicemen and servicewomen in Southern Arizona.

Local beer executive Tristan White has participated in this event every year since its inception and is eager to return following the event’s pandemic-forced hiatus last year.

“I think we’re really good at making beer, but the thing we’re even better at is getting in front of our customers and telling our story, and we’ve missed doing that over the past year and a half,” said White, general manager of Dragoon Brewing Company, 1859 W. Grant Road.

“Our greatest strength is giving people an interaction with both our product and our brand, and the Hockey and Hops event checks a lot of boxes for us in that it’s Tucson, it’s community focused, it’s the perfect time of year, and it’s just plain fun.”

White and his team will be pouring the flagship Dragoon IPA, the newly

released and easy-drinking Dragoon Pils, and possibly the Palomino IPA, a limited-edition beer made with galaxy hops.

As he approaches his brewery’s fifth anniversary, Ben Vernon also looks forward to engaging his customers at an event that he says brings our community together.

“To be part of what the Tucson Roadrunners are doing to build our community up is the reason that we’re involved here,” said Vernon, co-owner of Crooked Tooth Brewing Company, 228 E. Sixth St. “Bringing sports to town is only going to make this community better, and we’ll always be a part of any event that’s about bringing Tucson together and giving us all something to celebrate, in a shared space, in this cool town.”

Crooked Tooth will be pouring three beers at the event—a Mexican lager, a sour made with tamarind, and a sour made with grapefruit, in the Paloma cocktail tradition, served in a glass with a salted rim

Other brewers participating in the event include Barrio Brewing Company, BlackRock Brewers, Borderlands Brewing Company, Buqui Bichi Brewing, Catalina Brewing Company, Dillinger Brewing Company, Grand Canyon Brewing Company, MotoSonora Brewing Company and Ten55 Brewing Company.

Hockey and Hops is on Nov. 13 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Individual tickets are

$50 each, or $30 as an addon for Tucson Roadrunners season ticket holders.

Your ticket includes access to the pre-game beer garden, 10 beer garden drink tickets, a Tucson Roadrunners commemorative shot glass, and a ticket to the game against the visiting Ontario Reign that starts at 7:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased at www. tucsonroadrunners.com/ tickets/2021-hockey-andhops/.

I’m certainly not a

hockey expert but I do know beer, and this event promises to be one heck of a beer barnburner.

Tech Talk: Unleashing copper’s antibacterial properties Jeff Gardner

jeff@tucsonlocalmedia.com

W

ith a major research university right in our backyard, a strong military presence and innovative companies throughout the metro region, there’s often a plethora of interesting science, medical and technology news to be found in Southern Arizona. Here’s a breakdown of the most interesting recent developments.

Copper Cure. The star in the center of the Arizona flag represents our state’s history of copper mining, and now research coming out of the University of Arizona further solidifies the metal’s importance. In a

paper recently published in the journal Microbiology Spectrum, UA assistant professor of immunobiology Michael Johnson describes copper’s advanced antibacterial properties. Of course, copper has long been known to be antibacterial. But this latest research shows how a special compound can be bound to copper to kill even antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

The compound N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate (DMDC) can be chemically bound to copper in order to kill streptococcus pneumoniae, the bacteria that commonly causes pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. Pathogens like streptococcus pneumoniae rely on bodily metals as a source of nutrition, and have de-

fense mechanisms in place to avoid metal toxicity. But binding DMDC to metals like copper prevents the pathogens from overcoming the toxicity.

“As antibiotic resistance has risen, antibiotic development has fallen. As people are trying to find more therapeutics, we can combine what we know about metals and what we know about certain antibiotics, and maybe find some great synergy,” Johnson said in a UA release. “We were looking for compounds that can bind to metal and act as a kind of toxic warhead to kill bacteria. It’s like a Trojan horse mechanism.”

According to UA, researchers observed the effect in laboratory and animal models, but it has yet to be

technology company headquartered in Tucson, recently announced a new suite of sensors for flight crews.

Titled “Aperture,” Universal Avionics reports that the family of products can process a variety of video and sensor inputs to deliver real-time content analysis, such as visual positioning, obstacle detection, taxi guidance and traffic awareness. Aperture works as a fusion of video and computer graphics, and is slated for delivery near the end of next year.

“At Universal Avionics, we are continually leveraging the deep pool of technology and culture of innovation of the greater enterprise to advance our Aerial Awareness. Uni- systems,” said Universal Aviversal Avionics, an aircraft onics CEO Dror Yahav in a studied in humans. Copper, which is found naturally in vegetables and supplemented in vitamins, is well-tolerated by the human body.

The amount of copper consumed is not important to fighting off infections. Rather, the goal is to “deliver the copper to the right place to rid the body of the bacteria.”

“We are far away from a cure-all,” Johnson said.

“There is a lot of research that needs to be done, which is why we’re trying to dig more deeply into the mechanisms to better understand how it works. This is a nice marriage between basic science and translational research that we hope has a big impact down the road.”

press release. “The Aperture suite of capabilities will establish a new benchmark in sensor fusion, AI-powered augmented reality, and ultimately aircraft safety.”

According to Universal Avionics, Aperture is planned to eventually expand to include additional video and sensor channels and low latency video aggregation and manipulation, large recording capability, and real-time data analysis and augmented reality for pilots and mission specialists. This capability will be powered by Universal’s proprietary Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms and is in active development in our research and development laboratories, with first generation boards and algorithms undergoing trials.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your confidence doesn’t come from an expectation that you’ll be liked; it comes from not caring either way.

The week shows a self-directed side of you.

You do what you want to serve the purposes of your choosing, fulfilled according to your own criteria. Outside opinions will mean very little, if anything, to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You adhere to a set of rules both stated and unstated. You’ll witness rule-breakers around you being feared, admired, copied and punished. You’ll note that these are not all good rules; some of them are terrible. The question is not, “Should you break rules?” but, “Which ones?”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You hear what people say, but more importantly, you know what they mean, what’s implied and the significance of their focus. They’ll repeat themselves later in some form or another, but taking it all in the first time around will give you a definite advantage. It will save you time, and you’ll stand out as astute.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Experience validates beliefs. You’ll literally find the answers you are looking for. Your desired or expected solution will emerge to meet you regardless of whether it’s effective, true or correct. To get to the right answer, you must first let go of preferences. It takes an open mind to know what’s real.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You stand in a wilderness of true and false assumptions. You’ll question what you were taught. It got you this far, but you must discover things for yourself to go the distance. As you dare to put beliefs to the test, the falsehoods will become obvious, and the truth will guide you to the next place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The customs handed down from generation to generation that were once the cornerstone of social behavior can get lost in the fast-paced world.

It takes a concerted effort to keep a tradition; that’s an effort you’re willing to make as you plan the end of your year. Your decisions will create future magic.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone’s inner reality is different. To hold this idea in mind as you interact with others takes maturity, empathy and intelligence, all of which you have in abundance this week. While you may never know what it’s like in their head, your respect of the difference gives you many advantages, including better relationships.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s something delicious about a little trouble if you keep it to just one kind. The only trouble you will ever need is the trouble you have. The troubles of the past and future will tempt you, though they have nothing to offer. The trouble you have offers you strength, improvement and entertainment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to go to a foreign land to improve things. Making the world a better place where you are is still making the world a better place. If the atmosphere is decent and you lift it to cheerful or pleasant, you’ve done a lot. And if you make something bad seem bearable, you’ve also done a lot.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You take stock of your life daily, but it’s also helpful to periodically survey the whole scene to understand how it all fits together and what is best to focus on.

This takes time and isn’t always fun, but deep thinking and meaningful plans will come out of it. You’ll be so glad you scheduled time to sort and assess.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have yet to accomplish what you set out to do. If you focus on the goal, you’ll see it. How close it actually is matters less than how vividly you can make it out. You bridge distances by understanding those far-away things with as much clarity as possible. The understanding moves you forward.

A T R I G L O N I P A D

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People try to impart what they know, but knowledge cannot be received. Information can, and what a gift it is! Knowledge, on the other hand, must be grown in the recipient as information is used, tested and practiced. This week, you act. You do not so much gain knowledge as become it -- intelligence embodied.
