Palm Sunday & Mercury Stationary Direct

RisaNewS

Sun square Pluto on Thursday challenges us to bring everything hidden into the light of day. The light transforms and uplifts. This aspect between Sun and Pluto reflects the prayer from the Upanishads (ancient Vedic Hindu prayer), “Lead us O Lord, from darkness to light, from the unreal to the real, from death to immortality, from chaos to beauty.” 
 
Thursday is influenced by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and the heart of the Aquarian Age. We need, in our world, the light and reality of immortality to create beauty out of the present purposeful chaos. 
 

 

Thursday afternoon Cancer moon anchors (Ray 7) the intelligence (Ray 3) that nourishes humanity. In our last solar system we developed the lower mind. In this solar system we must develop the higher abstract mind (Jupiter), foundation of the Intuition (Pallas Athena). 
 
Saturday Mars in Virgo inconjuncts Uranus in Aries, as Venus in Taurus inconjuncts (150 degrees apart) Saturn in Libra! Inconjunct signifies nothing works well together, there’s no understanding of the elements (differing) creating an inability to cooperate. We stand solitary wherever we are. Mars/Uranus – a jolt somewhere occurs. Venus/Saturn, we don’t know where our resources are or their value. 
 
Sunday is Palm Sunday. Fresh palms lined the streets in Jerusalem when Jesus, the Christ, passed through. As the people recognized He was the Pisces World Teacher, He realized this was the Path toward His betrayal, death and Crucifixion (an Initiation we all take) at the end of the week.  

Esoteric Astrology as News for the week of Mar 29–Apr 4, 2012 For Sun and Rising Signs

ariesAries-March 21–April 20

You must be dreaming more often, feeling more instinctive, sometimes confused, sensitive, inspired and insightful at times. Prayer, meditation, study, contemplation call to you. They create gentleness and a compassionate and caring way of being. When you find yourself in a group calling for your leadership to help create the future these virtues step forward. This new world is in your visions.


taurusTaurus April 21–May 21


You have one task—to focus on your health. Tend to joints and bones; tend to your heart, taking more calcium/magnesium, not allowing anxiety or stress, eating calming foods. Use your great practicality to care for yourself. You must choose daily what’s best – to be out and about socially, leading everyone into the future, or remaining at home and in the garden creating your perfect health. Begin with daily enzymes and probiotics.


geminiGemini May 22–June 20


Something revelatory happens between you and the world, between you and your work and you and certain groups. You’re inspired, encouraged and guided. With careful study, years of preparation, and viewing the past in terms of your gifts, a spiritual pathway opens, choices and commitments are more easily made, and gratitude settles into your heart. Can you talk about this?


cancer
Cancer
June 21–July 20


What have you been mostly thinking of during this Mercury and Mars retrograde? Has a new and different study been introduced? What these days makes you feel generous and at home? Is there’s a new reality or interest presenting itself? You want to participate fully, but something’s obstructing you. Are you disturbed by something? Do you feel you’re not smart enough?

leo
Leo
July 21–August 22


You’re becoming more perceptive, intuitive and enlightened and this affects those you work with. Someone, something (words, ideas, memories of someone in particular) will create a shift into greater and deeper awareness of how you have related in previous relationships. Your mind sorts through ideas of intimacy, money, sadness sometimes, and old dreams. Love is good, all the time, even when it hurts, which means you’re learning.


virgo
Virgo
August 23–September 22


You will relate better with others, especially those close to you, if you offer love as unqualified and unconditional. This is something many of us need yet to learn. When we do so, we flourish and thrive and discover greater support and guidance when needed. Challenging others doesn’t work. Compassion does. It nourishes the heart.

libra
Libra
September 23–October 22


Think, visualize and pray daily for all that you want and need your life to be. Include art, creativity and your vocation along with relationships, children and partnerships. If you’re not sure, then ask yourself each day, “What are my hopes, dreams and wishes? What are my abilities and gifts?” In the coming year you become stronger, more resilient. Take very cautionary care with money and resources. You need a fish in a fish bowl for a special pet.


scorpio

Scorpio October 23–November 21


Use your resources and investments in terms of preparing for the future. Find a forward-thinking money manager. Think seriously about a new economy needing to unfold. It will look much different than our present one. Don’t speculate on the old economy. Instead study books on greenhouses and bio-shelters, using resources to create these environments. You then become forward thinking.


sagg

Sagittarius November 22–December 20


 The planets in the sky are affecting your money, your foundation, your family and home situation, your creativity, and presenting possibilities in terms of relationships, partnerships, and for some, marriage. So many different realities pulsing within and around you. Something kind and benevolent, something sacrificial and sad is remembered in your family. Are relatives and loved ones on your mind? This is a stage of remembrance.


capricorn

Capricorn December 21–January 20


You’re thinking optimistically about a change of residence, or doing something new about how and/or where you live? You want to bring more grace and goodness, ease and beauty to your family life. You recognize everyone’s doing their very best, especially you, and you’re asking for a big change. Begin writing (journaling) in earnest and drawing up wants and needs. This is your next creative endeavor.


aquarius
Aquarius
January 21–February 18


Money and resources are going through a definite change—less money and more need to stabilize. This means more attention to the well-being of your finances is needed. Don’t forget to use resources to help others. When we serve others, we are taken care of. The charts show a change of home or location, something new occurring there. Follow calls to you. It’s purposeful.


pisces
Pisces
February 19–March 20


Neptune in Pisces brings forth a new state of reality, and at times confusion. Neptune blends many realities together into one reality. It’s difficult to make sense of the blending, and details can dissolve away. Be aware of and observe this occurring. Neptune is not the planet of detail. It’s the planet of refinement, of parting the veils, of watery realms where dreams are alive. Neptune transits can make us tired to exhausted.

CYNDI

On the eve of Cyndi Lauper’s Mountain Winery gig, we dissect the woman, the icon, the creative beast. Plus: Her thoughts on the music industry, equal rights and those sparkling ‘Kinky Boots’ Few performers possess the kind of fierce, she-bopping tenacity Cyndi Lauper has become famous for. Equal parts free spirit, civil rights activist and Grammy-winner, Lauper is one of the few creative artists able to successfully marry her cutting-edge verve with a heart-of-gold panache. It certainly has helped fuel the remarkable career resurgence she has been experiencing lately.

 

Field to Vase

Open house provides opportunity for residents to meet their local flower growers Valentine’s Day is a high point of the year for those in the cut flower business. So when, one year in the late ’90s, the bouquet-riddled holiday failed to deliver for Kitayama Brothers Farms, the family behind the decades-old rose-growing business knew something was wrong.  “It was the writing on the wall,” recalls Stuart Kitayama, operations manager for the Watsonville-based company. “Those of us who had been hoping things would just get better finally said ‘it’s time to change.’”

 

To Arm or Disarm?

While gun sales soar nationally, a group of musicians fundraise for a local gun buy-back In the wake of high-profile incidents of gun violence—from the Sandy Hook school shooting last December to the fatal shooting of two Santa Cruz police officers three months ago—the debate over gun ownership in America centers on one question as it rages on: Do guns make us safer or do they make our lives more dangerous?

 

The Bold Woman and the Sea

A paraplegic veteran launches solo row across the Pacific Military veteran and paraplegic Angela Madsen finds life at sea liberating. What others call her disabilities melt away when she is rowing to far-off destinations, and all that remain are her capabilities—what she can or cannot do is determined by the tasks at hand and what the ocean will allow.

 

Mark Twang

Mark Twang plays a little bit of everything—rock, roots, jazz and bluegrass for starters—but so far they haven’t played much in public as evidenced by the fact that their upcoming show at Don Quixote’s will only be their second gig. But there’s a reason why the band isn’t performing a lot right now. “We have plans [to make an album],” says drummer Jeff Wilson. “We’re trying to do some things differently though and not just come out full-steam ahead and start playing all these shows.

 

Breaking the Waves

Free Radio Santa Cruz celebrates 18 years of subversive programming Though the term “free radio” comes to us from the Summer of Love—a time when some folks splashed the word “free” on their nouns like an all-purpose verbal condiment—you can rest assured that the name Free Radio Santa Cruz (FRSC) is no mere tip of the hat to the psychedelic era. For the past 18 years, the colorful characters at the helm of our community’s own pirate radio station have been enjoying the freedom to broadcast whatever they damn well please, be it up-to-the-minute, uncensored local and worldwide news, programs in the Spanish language, shows produced by children, teens and homeless people, or all manner of music, from death metal to free jazz.

 

Muscle-Bound

Valiant cast battles loud, ugly action for the soul of 'Man of Steel' Early in Man of Steel, fourth-grader Clark, the boy who will be Superman, is cowering in a broom closet at school, eyes screwed shut, hands clapped over his ears. He can't control his super powers: his X-ray vision shows him the skulls and skeletons under everyone's flesh; unfiltered noise—dogs, traffic, heartbeats—assault him from all sides. Rushing to school, his mom kneels outside the door and asks what's wrong.

 

The Plug Bug & Corbin Dunn

Mechanic, programmer, acrobat, builder, tinkerer. Corbin Dunn's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle is a fully electric vehicle. It has an electric motor powered by 48 stacked squares of Lithium-ion battery cells under the hood in place of the 50 horsepower gas engine that it was built with. He calls it, affectionately, “the Plug Bug.” Dunn, who was born in Hawaii, raised in Corralitos, and now lives in a large, old A-frame house near the summit in the Santa Cruz Mountains, is a 35-year-old programmer for Apple in Cupertino, where he helped develop the iPhone and works on the framework for the Macintosh operating system. But his aptitude for intricate technical work is not limited to computers. Dunn is a tinkerer.

 

Making the Grade

The quest to identify sources of high levels of bacteria at Cowell Beach continues With straight As on Heal the Bay’s annual “beach report card” for 10 out of 13 Santa Cruz County beaches—Main Beach, Seabright, and even Cowell Beach at the Stairs, to name a few—it would seem that Santa Cruz boasts a high coastal GPA. But in recent years, one Santa Cruz beach just can’t seem to pass: Cowell Beach west of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf.

 

Flag Day, Father’s Day and Chiron

Another week of complex planetary energies falling to Earth. Mars interacts with Pluto (inconjunct), Uranus (sextile) and Chiron (square, challenge, ouch!). We won’t know how to comprise, we’ll want to be friends but our hurts will challenge that desire.

Good Morning Maui

Goodness, righteousness, virtuousness and fairness are some of the four-score English words that attempt to describe the Hawaiian essence of pono, whose use in the state motto translates to “The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.”

 

The Power of Conversation

Local author Cecile Andrews emphasizes importance of community engagement in newest book Cecile Andrews, author of the new book “Living Room Revolution: A Handbook for Conversation, Community and the Common Good,” probably wouldn’t get along too well with Larry David’s character from HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, known for hiding his face and avoiding communication with anyone he runs into on the street. Andrews is a longstanding part-time Santa Cruz (part-time Seattle) resident who says something that’s struck her about this town over the years is people's willingness to participate in a practice she’s dubbed the “Stop and Chat”—which is exactly what it sounds like.

Best of Santa Cruz County

The 2013 Santa Cruz County Readers' Poll and Critics’ Picks It’s our biggest issue of the year, and in it, your votes—more than 6,500 of them—determined the winners of The Best of Santa Cruz County Readers’ Poll. New to the long list of local restaurants, shops and other notables that captured your interest: Best Beer Selection, Best Locally Owned Business, Best Customer Service and Best Marijuana Dispensary. In the meantime, many readers were ever so chatty online about potential new categories. Some of the suggestions that stood out: Best Teen Program and Best Web Design/Designer. But what about: Dog Park, Church, Hotel, Local Farm, Therapist (I second that!) or Sports Bar—not to be confused with Bra. Our favorite suggestion: Best Act of Kindness—one reader noted Café Gratitude and the free meals it offered to the Santa Cruz Police Department in the aftermath of recent crimes. Perhaps some of these can be woven into next year’s ballot, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the following pages and take note of our Critics’ Picks, too, beginning on page 91. A big thanks for voting—and for reading—and an even bigger congratulations to all of the winners. Enjoy.  -Greg Archer, EditorBest of Santa Cruz County Readers’ Poll INDEX | Shops | Food & Drink | Arts & Entertainment | Health & Fitness | Professionals | The Rest |

 

Dancing Creek Winery

At the Pinot Paradise event back in March, I tasted some very good Pinots from the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Dancing Creek Winery’s 2009 Pinot ($27) was one of them. This plummy dark brew, made from grapes grown in Corralitos, has delicious flavors of pomegranate, prosciutto, dried cherries, and mint julep.

 

Stranger than Fiction

Memphis singer-songwriter, Amy LaVere, finds joy and humor in painful situations Producer Craig Silvey likely saved singer-songwriter Amy LaVere’s life a few years back. Before recording 2011’s Stranger Me, LaVere had endured a breakup with her longtime boyfriend and was in the midst of one of those I-need-to-find-out-who-I-am phases. She knew the content for the album was going to be incredibly dark and moody, but Silvey did something which changed the course of the recording sessions entirely.

 

A Very Fine House

Adjacent to the front door, the long, clean wooden bar is surrounded by pumpkin-colored stools. At the entrance to the dining rooms, there is a new low-slung cafe door hung in the wood-covered arch. Where there once was a stage, stocky wooden tables are neatly arranged perpendicularly on a new tile floor, each set with square white plates and burnt orange cloth napkins.

 

Exposed

David Cay Johnston’s new book explains how big companies rob us blind In his late teens David Cay Johnston started to ask questions. “Why do we have these guys in uniforms with guns driving around in cars all day?” “Why is the Santa Cruz County Courthouse being built in such an unusual shape?” He wrote an article, while still living in his hometown of Santa Cruz, proving that the off-kilter courthouse building, which officials had promised would save money, actually cost more than a conventional building.
