Polka Is King!I feel fortunate my parents chose Sonoma County to raise their family. My siblings and I were able to live in a modest home in the
Montgomery Village area in Santa Rosa.
Mom and Dad hailed from Milwaukee, Wis., where polka is king. As a family of six children, we would pack ourselves into the station wagon and make the drive into the Valley of the Moon to spend the day at Little Switzerland. I have such fond memories of these family outings with the music, dancing, good food and fun activities for children.
Now, as a grown woman with daughters and granddaughters, I can no longer create new memories at Little Switzerland. I am glad every so often that I can drive to the Moose Lodge on Broadway in Sonoma and get a good workout on a Sunday night trying to keep up with the polka masters out on the dance floor there.
My point is this: the only thing I am certain of in life is change. Sonoma and its outlying communities are changing, much like other areas throughout Sonoma County. Who among us old-timers could truly have envisioned gaming casinos gracing our rural landscape, much less the “friendly city” of Rohnert Park?
Please keep the conversations going among yourselves in Sonoma regarding your community and growing pains. Some of us even remember when there was a swimming pool at the Sonoma Valley High School, which was a wonderful asset to the most important part of any town: its children and youth.

Apples for GrapesA bad tradeoff: yep, Paul Hobbs is at it again BY SHEPHERD BLISS
Over 400 people signed a petition last week against Paul Hobbs Winery and its plans to convert an apple orchard into a vineyard
surrounding five schools in rural Sebastopol.Hobbs is an international wine baron who owns vineyards in at
least half a dozen countries, and who has a history of clearcutting without permits and then paying fines afterward. He is among those responsible for changing the Redwood Empire into “wine country.”
Though the orchard-to-vineyard conversion in Sebastopol has been in process for around a year—as some school officials have apparently known—parents didn’t find about it until last week, when workers in hazmat suits showed up.
“Nobody wants their child exposed to something that could hurt them,” said mother Christine Dzilvelis who, along with others in the new Watertrough Children’s Alliance, is concerned with pesticide drift, asbestos, lead and arsenic poisoning in the soil and water contamination.
“As the director of a preschool on the Apple Blossom campus,” writes Barbara Stockton, “I am utterly appalled that his development might occur.”
“We have children at Apple Blossom and Orchard View schools,” wrote Michelle Muse upon signing the petition. “Our children will be within feet of herbicide and pesticide applications. This is not acceptable.”
Mothers and allies met last week with various officials, including agriculture commissioner Tony Linegar, who has the power to deny a permit for the vineyard conversion, which is still being reviewed.
Hobbs—who took over a portion of neighbor John Jenkel’s land in a contentious and highly criticized maneuver in 2011, and then cut down even more trees along a designated scenic corridor—is often called a “bad apple” of Sonoma County’s wine industry. But the obvious issue rose from Amy Taganaski, who has two children at Apple Blossom School: “How can the school continue to be called Apple Blossom if there are not apples to be found nearby?”
Shepherd Bliss operates a farm near the proposed vineyard, teaches
college, and can be reached at 3sb.comcast.net.

Top Fiveradical—they have, and always will be around (born inside this country or not). It should be for the legions of government agencies (19 in total, apparently, in Boston—BTW, where are they every weekend in Oakland?) that are growing every year on your tax dollar and devoted to broadening every manner of surveillance into our lives.
This all to keep the tired, slaving (and voting and taxpaying) masses staying terrorized of terrorists!
Public safety? Yeah, right.
Just like the war on drugs, this is another misguided government policy justified in order to keep large corporate shareholders happy, and for us to silently comply with increasing illegal intrusions into our daily life. And we are lucky: at least the drones aren’t shooting us in this country. Yet.

A PERSON WHO NEEDS PEOPLE BottleRock’s Bob Vogt says he knows how it feels to have a bigger, competing show.
Paper
While BottleRock takes over this week, something ‘Funny’ opens at the Opera House BY DAVID TEMPLETON
Much Ado
Bartolucci, “I’d walk around my house belting like Barbara Streisand, singing ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade.’”
Well, the good news is, Bartolucci’s
big day is finally here.
This weekend, Bartolucci—
cofounder, with Barry Martin,
of Napa’s Lucky Penny Theater
Company—takes the stage in
a two-week run of Funny Girl at the Napa Opera House. It’s Lucky Penny’s most ambitious and costly production since its inception in 2009, and its most high-profile effort since becoming a nonprofit in 2011.
“It’s a little scary to me,” Bartolucci says, “because the show is very different from the Streisand movie, which everyone

remembers so well. But we’ve worked very hard, and I think we’ve done the show justice.”
Which brings us to the bad news: there has been a bit of rain in Napa to threaten Lucky Penny’s parade.
The troubles began in January, when the BottleRock festival announced its five-day event, three days of which overlap with the opening of Funny Girl. According to Martin, show director, there was great concern that Funny Girl—with lavish sets, large cast, lush period costumes and overall costs in the area of $55,000—could be adversely affected by the simultaneous draw of BottleRock.
And in recent weeks, allegations arose that Martin might have used his day job as Napa’s community outreach coordinator to secure improper financial support from BottleRock’s co-producer Bob Vogt. The brouhaha was reported in the Napa Valley Register, which described a purchase of a block of Funny Girl tickets by Vogt.
With Martin serving on the city staff overseeing the potential impact on the residents of Napa during BottleRock, the appearance of a possible conflict of interest was called to attention by a number of local business owners.
No evidence has come up that Martin offered BottleRock any sort of quid pro quo in exchange for the ticket purchase, yet the resulting kerfuffle has been awkward for Martin at an already sensitive time before opening weekend.
“I immediately realized this was going to look odd to people, and I was right,” Martin says, adding that he hadn’t even known about the ticket purchase until reading in the paper that BottleRock was offering some inconvenienced residents close to the festival a choice between free BottleRock passes or tickets to Funny Girl.
Vogt, who, as a partner in the Uptown Theatre in Napa, says he knows how it feels when a larger event threatens to adversely affect attendance, vehemently denies any conflict of interest. “It’s a nonissue,” he says.
“It was always our intention to

Kitchen Call At culinary boot camp, wounded veterans find healingBY JESSICA DUR TAYLOR
on his body, and he left the service in November of 2004.
“I’ve got a laundry list of injuries,” Shore tells me over the phone recently. “For nine years, I’ve been in constant pain.”
But despite sustaining severe back and neck injuries, broken ribs and clavicle, and a traumatic brain injury, Shore misses the military. Which is why just a few weeks ago, he joined a handful of other vets at boot camp.
Instead of fatigues, however, they dressed in tall white hats and coats. Instead of surveillance and scuttling, they spoke of dashes
of spices and slicing on the diagonal. Wielding paring knives and spatulas, six vets and their spouses learned how to trim duck breasts and make soup stock at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena.
The CIA and the military go way back—to 1946, when its original New York location was founded as a vocational training school for returning World War II vets. Now the prestigious school offers culinary boot camps for vets of Iraq and Afghanistan who were wounded in the line of duty.
The boot camp is just one of the
Over a decade after first joining the army in 1992, Scott Shore served
as convoy commander of the very first unit to Iraq in 2003, stationed in what he calls “the wild west of Baghdad.” For the first six months he was there, encountering snipers and bombs daily, he was not allowed to contact his wife, Shawna, to let her know he was alive.

WineriesGamba Vineyards & WineryAt 113 years old, long in the toothsoBY JAMES KNIGHT
A gostino Gamba may be a sixth-generation
grape grower, tending an irreplaceable, century-old vineyard, but he’s clearly no sentimentalist. See what he’s done to his 27-acre vineyard, planted in 1900 by Cesare Barbieri. The silhouette of “old vine Zin” is typically squat, thick-trunkedgnarled arms flailing wildly—if ever so slowlydirections. That’s mostly dead wood, says Gawhittled the “goblet” shaped vines down to thessentials, and trained them up on stakes. Nohe wanted to bump up the crop: Gamba’s vinea paltry half-ton per acre.
That was nothing to boast about when this vineyardnor when Agostino Luigi Gamba Sr. settled down here i1940s. In fact, the vines can do a little better, but Gambacrop even then, in order to coax the oldsters into producZin flavors that he wants. And they do.
Gamba only opens the doors by appointment, so, beflying airport traffic, it’s fairly quiet at this little cellar onRoad.

The Black KeysWhat You Need to Know The duo once recorded an album inside an old rubber tire factory in their hometown of Akron, Ohio.
Song You Hope They’ll Play “Keep Your Hands Off Her,” a Junior Kimbrough cover.
From the Gossip Pages In 2011, drummer Patrick Carney’s ex-wife wrote “Snapshots from a Rock ’N’ Roll Marriage,” about the couple’s tumultuous marriage and eventual split.
Alabama ShakesWhat You Need to Know Just see them. Then you’ll know.
Song You Hope They’ll Play “Hold On,” which blows away the Wilson Phillips song of the same name by miles.
Let’s Compare! Singer Brittany Howard gets the Janis Joplin comparison on an hourly basis, but she’s far more reliable live.
PrimusWhat You Need to Know Primus is led by the best damn rock bassist in the world. Even folks in the pit will stop at one point to gawk at the thunderous pounding and plucking of Les Claypool’s mindboggling fingers.
Song You Hope They’ll Play An incredible claymation video for “Southbound Pachyderm” was made in 1995, involving a kidnapped elephant and an evil dictator. Hopefully, they’ll show the video, too.
Join in the Chant Fans routinely chant “Primus sucks!” at their shows. It’s a term of endearment.
THE BANDS
4-H barn dance, eat your heart out.“If there’s one way to protect the
future,” Meyers says confidently, “it’s to go big. We’re on the map now. Our goal was to establish this as a must-do, for artists and fans alike, early on in the festival season.”
But with big size comes big headaches. Today, a week before BottleRock kicks off with a pre-festival concert by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Meyers has been pummeled with logistics. He’s been in even more meetings with the city today. He’s just talked again to the fire marshal. A couple days prior, Furthur, his Thursday night headliner, canceled, citing Bob Weir’s collapse onstage the week before in New York.
But Meyers is nothing if not
determined, and one can sense he’s certain he’s already won. “Clearly, the response from the talent, the response from the customer—it’s something people want to be a part of,” he says. “This is already happening; we’re not going backwards on this.”
In other words: Napa, open your doors to the biggest, craziest lineup the North Bay has ever seen.
The night before the full BottleRock lineup was announced in January,
a photo of a fax on BottleRock letterhead featuring a hoax “lineup” spread around the internet. It listed the Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Beck, Jack White, Robin Williams, the Pixies, Louis CK, New Order, Fiona Apple and other bands that were surely too good to be true.
But come the next morning’s official announcement, the fake fax lineup had also listed many of what turned out to be verified bands. Flaming Lips. Alabama Shakes. Macklemore. Zac Brown Band. Ben Harper. Bad Religion. Jackson Browne. Andrew Bird. Wallflowers. If you’re reading this, you know the others—the Black Keys, Primus, the Avett Brothers, Kings of Leon, Jane’s Addiction, Dirty Projectors, Violent Femmes, the Shins, Dwight Yoakam, Iron & Wine and many, many mind-boggling more. “Too good to be true” was, well, just plain true.
How’d they do it? Credit must be given to talent buyer Sheila Groves-Tracey of Notable Talent, a Petaluma resident who in the past has booked New George’s in San Rafael and the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma, and who now manages the Uptown Theatre. Both Vogt and Meyers credit Groves-Tracey with being “a huge help” in handling the booking.
But the biggest question is about who’s putting up the money, and on that point, Meyers and BottleRock cofounder Bob Vogt keep quiet. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss that,” says Vogt, in the middle of the fairgrounds’ huge, empty field, soon to be filled with screaming fans. Meyers is only slightly more forthcoming: “The funding specifically for this event has come from )18
Kings of LeonWhat You Need to Know In 2010, the Kings cut their set short in St. Louis because a flock of pigeons decided to shit all over the band.
Song You Hope They’ll Play “Taper Jean Girl,” the last song the band played while pigeons were shitting all over them.
What Could Go Wrong Napa has even bigger pigeons than St. Louis.
Dirty ProjectorsWhat You Need to Know This hip group uses a lot of electronic sounds on record and recreates them live almost perfectly.
Song You Hope They’ll Play The badass rhythm, powerful yet sweet female vocals and sweet ear candy guitar parts of “Stillness Is the Move” are groove-inducing.
You Should Bring Dancing shoes, tight pants, dark sunglasses and a goatskin pouch.
Best CoastWhat You Need to Know It’s as if this band were cryogenically frozen in 1994 and thawed out a couple years ago to teach overproduced hipster bands a lesson. And they don’t even know how to use the “three seashells.”
Song You Hope They’ll Play “When I’m with You,” the saddest happy song you’ll hear all day.
Surf’s Up Best Coast is often categorized as surf rock, which is odd considering they don’t surf and their music has nothing to do with the sport. Don’t be fooled.
Café TacubaWhat You Need to Know They’re one of the biggest bands in Latin America and won three Grammy awards for their last album.

THE FOUNDERS Without big concert-promotion giants like Live
Nation or AEG, Bob Vogt and Gabe Meyers have produced BottleRock
entirely locally.
a variety of sources: private equity, sponsorships, and ourselves.”
“Ourselves” means two guys who have only a little experience in the concert-promotion business—they’ve held numerous benefits for Giants fan Bryan Stow at Napa’s Uptown Theater, in which Vogt is a partner—and none putting on a festival. Which is what makes BottleRock such a tremendous underdog story. Most festivals of comparable stature are booked by Live Nation, AEG Live, C3 Presents or Another Planet Entertainment. That two Napa locals and a Petaluma talent buyer are presenting BottleRock, with no outside promoter, is more than impressive—it’s got everyone in the industry talking.
It certainly has locals talking, too. Because 35,000 people is nearly half the population of the city—and because there’s only a handful of roads in and out of town and fairgrounds parking is scarce to nonexistent—some critics of the festival suggest the possibility for disaster.
“People talk about all these logistical issues and everything,” says Vogt, “and I keep coming back to the basic point that it’s as great a lineup as anyone has seen, I think, in a long time. People will figure out how to park and get here when there’s great music.”
Meyers likes to say that the idea for the festival came to him when he
was in utero at Altamont—he was born in August 1970—and, in fact, he and Vogt thought about using Altamont’s original location, Sears Point Raceway (now Sonoma Raceway) for BottleRock. Vogt and Meyers also bandied around the idea of a South-by-Southwest–type setup, with concerts at multiple venues around town nightly. But after talks with other promoters, it was decided that the Napa Valley Expo had the type of infrastructure perfect for a festival—power, toilets, buildings, big open fields. And, Vogt notes, the Napa Valley itself provided an alluring reason for a lot of bands to say yes.
“We just thought it would be a historic opportunity for the Napa Valley to come together,” says Vogt,
“to kick off something of this size, and of this transformational sort of nature.”
The festival is transformational for Napa from an economic standpoint, as well. Hotel rooms normally going for $329 are going for $799, Meyers says, and “if we average 30,000 people a day, I’m sure there’ll be a calculation coming in around $30 million of economic impact.”
Today, while the large wooden guitars made by Napa artist Richard Von Saal are going in at the Expo, and while around the corner, artists Tim Kopra and Paul Slack construct a triangular sculpture for

Justin Townes EarleWhat You Need to Know Steve Earle is his pops; Townes van Zandt is his namesake.
Song You Hope He’ll Play “Harlem River Blues,” with its catchy chorus of “Tonight I’m going uptown to the Harlem River to drown,” is sure to be crowd-pleaser.
What Could Go Wrong The dapper singer-songwriter always looks impeccable, but in front of such a large crowd, in the heat, it’s hard not to wonder if the hair gel will run or bow-tie go askew.
Iron and WineWhat You Need to Know Lead singer Samuel Beam is not related to Jim Beam; his band name comes from a dietary supplement; and his cover of “Such Great Heights” was the wedding song for a certain Bohemian staff writer.
Song You Hope They’ll Play “Sodom, South Georgia” once inspired said Bohemian staff writer to take a road trip through the Peach State until she realized it wasn’t a real place. It’s desolate and hopeful and heartbreaking enough to be real.
Watch the Crowd For White people drinking Jim Beam and crying like fools.
Violent FemmesWhat You Need to Know Started busking in Milwaukee and hit college radio with “Blister in the Sun,” featuring the most recognizable bass line from the 1980s.
Song You Hope They’ll Play “Never Tell,” a hypnotic minor-key dirge that the band inhabits and completely transforms live.
So Happy Together Singer Gordon Gano broke up the band by selling “Blister in the Sun” to Wendy’s against band mates’ wishes; they recently kissed and made up.

Runaway Soul Ruthie Foster has come a long way since her days of singing Top 40 covers in a Navy ensemble band. The Texas-bred blues and soul singer has released six albums, performed with a fantastic roster of musicians—including blues firebrand Paul Thorn—and, without the help of any major label, forged a career that’s netted two Grammy nominations. Her latest album, Let It Burn, finds Foster covering songs by Adele, the Black Keys, Los Lobos, the Band and others, in addition to new original material. Foster appears in a solo performance on Saturday, May 11, at the Sebastopol Community Cultural Center. 390 Morris St., Sebastopol. 8pm. $33–$35. 707.823.1511.

Reading ListOf all the novels I read in high school, I remember only a handful. I loved Lord of the Flies, A Tale of Two Cities and Catcher in the Rye. I hated The Scarlet Letter and I was baffled by Ethan Frome. But I’ve only re-read one of these books as an adult (hint: it involves a pig’s head on a stick). In his new book Practical Classics, Kevin Smokler uses the essay form to persuade readers to pick up and read again 50 books commonly assigned in high school English class. Pride and Prejudice, Cannery Row, Animal Farm and “Bartleby, the Scrivener” all make Smokler’s list, as does my old snore-inducing nemesis The Scarlet Letter in an essay titled “I Don’t Like It Either.” Kevin Smokler appears on Wednesday, May 8, at Book Passage. 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera. 7pm. 415.927.0960.

Sweet VictoryLooking for a way to celebrate the Giants recent three-game sweep of the blue losers from the south, i.e., the
Dodgers? This month marks the release of ‘Never. Say. Die.,’ a coffee-table book featuring 125 photographs from the San Francisco Giants’ 2012 season by Sports Illustrated photographer Brad Mangin. For anyone with her head under a rock, the 2012 season ended in a series of nail-biting playoff games, culminating in a World Series victory against the Detroit Tigers. Published by Petaluma-based Cameron + Company, the book also features text by sports radio host Brian Murphy. Mangin and Murphy keep the spirit of ’12 alive on Thursday, May 9, at Copperfield’s Books. 140 Kentucky St., Petaluma. 7pm. 707.762.0563.

Laugh In For anyone who spent even two seconds in a high school drama class, the word “improv” conjures cringe-inducing memories of awkward theater games performed by even more awkward drama geeks. But the World’s Biggest Comedy Duo actually do improv the way it should be, turning the potentially embarrassing into something slightly subversive and fun. The Comedy Overload event at Hopmonk also features Opposing Media doing a Mystery Science Theater 3000–style take on a Star Trek episode, local standup comedians and, most incongruously, a performance by the Joweh BellyDance troupe. Comedy Overload goofs it up on Saturday, May 11, at Hopmonk Tavern. 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. 8pm. $12. 707.829.7300.

Shifting ‘Shape’Trying to keep quiet about ‘The Shape of Things’ BY DAVID TEMPLETON
Neil LaBute’s Shape of Things is hardly a fragile play. The
writing is tough, aggressive and packed with memorable, quotable lines. The story is immediately engaging, and LaBute’s four young college-grad characters are all rich, human and well-defined.
But I still feel I must be very cautious in describing The Shape of Things, now running at Main Stage West, because the experience of watching it for the first time is greatly enhanced by a certain sense of shocking discovery, a series of ingenious surprises and a whopper of a twist, constructed in such a way that the effect could be ruined were too many details revealed.
LADY EVE Jennifer Coté as the transformative temptress Evelyn.
All of which makes reviewing the show extremely tricky.
Suffice it to say that The Shape of Things takes place at a small liberal arts college (possibly based on Brigham Young University, which LaBute attended), where a smart but insecure lit major named Adam (another brilliant, risk-taking performance by Keith Baker) is stunned to have attracted the interest of a gorgeous and self-assured, if slightly intense, art major named Evelyn. As Evelyn, Jennifer Coté is scathingly effective, though her strong performance might have benefited from a bit more variation and softness, especially early on when Adam is falling for her.
Adam—whose best friends Philip (John Browning, extremely good with LaBute’s sardonic language) and Jenny (Dana Scott, vulnerable and sweet) are initially surprised at the effect Evelyn has on their friend—allows his new girlfriend to slowly transform his appearance: new hair, new clothes, new contacts. Eventually, Adam’s friends grow alarmed as his personality begins to change as well. But to say more would risk dampening the impact of the story.
Directed with a keen sense of balance, never letting the script’s comedy or darkness tip the scales too far, The Shape of Things is further proof that LaBute (In the Company of Men, Fat Pig, The Mercy Seat) is one of the theater’s best modern chroniclers of the uneasy relationship between educated, upwardly mobile human beings in an age when cruelty is often viewed as an enviable asset and kindness is akin to social surrender. His are angry yet funny plays, requiring actors who are able to deliver his hyperverbal dialogue while suggesting more than one conflicting motivation.
Sure to provoke debate with its vicious insights and uncompromising pessimism, The Shape of Things is smart, brilliant, nasty and savagely entertaining.
Rating (out of 5):
‘The Shape of Things’ runs Thursday–Sunday, May 3–19, at Main Stage West. 104 N. Main St., Sebastopol. Thursday–Saturday at 8pm; 5pm matinees on Sundays. $15–$25. 707.823.0177.

UNSILENCED AIDS activist Peter Staley is cuffed in an image from ‘How
Fight of Our Lives‘How to Survive a Plague’ the most impobattling the AIDS crisis yet BY RICHAR
T he Oscar-nominated How to Survive a Plague, the definitive story of the
AIDS crisis in the 1980s and 1990s, is the perfect example of what’s meant by the phrase “history so recent that it’s been forgotten.” The newly diagnosed and their supporters, as we see, had plenty to fight against. New York City’s municipal government, led by closeted mayor Ed Koch, accused them of using fascist tactics, and, meanwhile, federal agencies dawdled, despite the emergency.
The urgent, rapidly edited documentary styles itself as an underground TV broadcast. Much of it was snatched off the street and from the podiums at ACT-UP rallies, though there are important reminiscences from such figures as Larry Kramer and Dr. Barbara Starrett. Some of those shown who make the most impression are anonymous, such as the man seen in a homemade instructional video inserting a shunt into his own chest to deliver his medicine.

My Lambo Is Hot‘Max Wade’ rappers perform at PhoenixWhen Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini disappeared last year from a San Francisco garage, and when the perpetrator was revealed to be a 19-year-old kid who rappelled from the ceiling at night and drove it away, it was only a matter of time before someone filmed a rap video about the stealth job.
Enter Brilliant & Timbalias, whose “Max Wade” is basically the funniest response to the ordeal. Over a beat and cadence borrowed from Lupe Fiasco’s “Building Minds Faster,” the rappers profess their respect to Wade for pulling off the heist, and manage to invoke the Marin County Jail and the Marin IJ while rhyming next to—you guessed it—a yellow Lamborghini.
The Marin County duo are part of the 707 Bay Area Showdown Rap Battle Contest this week in Petaluma, alongside HD and the Bearfaced Gang, Sean E, Yung Weeybo and Tha Realest House, Elated Havoc, Notrotious, Luke Jones, Big Green and Legacy 9. For only $10, that’s a lot of verses —just hold on to your car keys.
The show goes off on Saturday, May 11, at the Phoenix Theater. 201 E. Washington St., Petaluma. 8pm. $10. 707.762.3565.—Gabe Meline

AstrologyARIES (March 21–April 19) The Tarahumara Indians of northwestern Mexico are renowned for their ability to run long distances. The best runners can cover 200 miles in two days. The paths they travel are not paved or smooth, either, but rather the rough canyon trails that stretch between their settlements. Let’s make them your inspirational role models in the coming week, Aries. I’m hoping that you will be as tough and tenacious as they are—that you will pace yourself for the long haul, calling on your instinctual strength to guide you.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20) You may have only a dim idea about how your smart phone and computer work, but that doesn’t prevent you from using their many wonderful features. While you’re swimming, you know almost nothing about the physiological processes that are active inside you, and yet you have no problem making all the necessary movements. In that spirit, I’m not worried about whether or not you will grasp the deep inner meaning of events that will be unfolding in the coming week. Complete understanding isn’t absolutely necessary. All you need to do is trust your intuition to lead you in the direction of what’s interesting and educational.
GEMINI (May 21–June 20) “I need not sell my soul to buy bliss,” says a character in Charlotte Bronte’s 19th-century novel Jane Eyre. “I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.” This would be a great speech for you to memorize and periodically recite in the next two weeks. Do it in front of your mirror at least once a day to remind yourself of how amazingly resourceful you are. It will also help you resist the temptation to seek gifts from people who can’t or won’t give them to you.
CANCER (June 21–July 22) What is the big adventure you’ve been postponing forever because it hasn’t been convenient? How about an intriguing possibility you have always wanted to experiment with but have consistently denied yourself? Or what about that nagging mystery you’ve been wishing you had the time and energy to solve? Wouldn’t your life change for the better if you finally dived in and explored it? In the next two weeks, Cancerian, I urge you to consider giving yourself permission to pursue something that fits one of those descriptions.
LEO (July 23–August 22) Right now, Leo, you are a majestic and mysterious mess of raw power. You are a fresh, flaming fountain of pure charisma. Irresistible! That’s you! Unstoppable! You! Impossible to fool and immune to the false charms of heartfelt mediocrity! You! You! You! In your current condition, no one can obstruct you from seeing the naked truth about the big picture. And that’s why I am so sure that victory will soon be yours. You will overcome the fuzziness of your allies, the bad vibes of your adversaries, and your own inertia. Not all conquests are important and meaningful, but you will soon achieve the one that is.
VIRGO (August 23–September 22) A character in Herman Hesse’s novel Demian says the following: “I live in my dreams. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own.” Whose dreams do you live in, Virgo? What is the source of the fantasies that dominate your imagination? Are they the authentic outpourings of your own soul? Or did they originate with your parents and teachers and lovers? Did they sneak into you from the movies and songs and books you love? Are they the skewed result of the emotional wounds you endured or the limitations you’ve gotten used to? Now is an excellent time to take inventory. Find out how close you are to living in your own dreams.
LIBRA (September 23–October 22) Charles Ives was a renowned American composer who lived from 1874 to 1954. Because his music was experimental and idiosyncratic, it took a long time for him to get the appreciation he deserved. When he was 73 years old, he won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for a symphony he had written when he was 30. I expect that in the near future you might be the beneficiary of a similar kind of mojo, Libra. A good deed you did or a smart move you
made in the past will finally gerecognition or response you’ve
