Ending the Darkness of Matter

RisaNewSWe are in Pisces now, the last sign of the zodiac—“Light of the World, revealing Life itself, ending forever the darkness of matter.” Pisces contains all previous eleven signs. Pisces is the two fish, connected by a silvery cord. One fish is the personality, the other the Soul. They represent the duality all of humanity experiences. Being both animal and divine, we experience simultaneously feelings of attraction and separation, passion and despair, suffering and bliss. Pisces lives through three different levels of reality—bondage and captivity, renunciation and, finally, saving others, liberation. The fishes flow upstream, downstream, in all streams and waterways. Eventually they orient themselves to one specific current, a sense of direction, an emerging potential becoming practical. Pisces brings great understanding and compassion to the world, and at times seems to have an unlimited supply or resources for the world. Pisces calls upon Virgo for order and organization, Capricorn for structures, Aries for direction, Taurus for stability, Gemini for love and understanding. Pisces calls all the signs, and then absorbs them, harboring seeds for spring.

The fish withdraws, standing always within the world of art, dance and theatre, with the higher spiritual values religion offers. Pisces is both sacred and profane (of spirit and of the world, too), interweaving the real with the ideal, emitting tints and hues of subtle silvery color. Eventually Pisces becomes the World Savior. “The waters drowned the fish. It appeared and disappeared. It eventually brought salvation.”

Esoteric Astrology as News for the week of Feb 28–Mar 6, 2013 For Sun and Rising Signs

ariesAries-March 21–April 20
A great intuition may befall you, along with great inner strength and faith, surprising you who mostly relies on outer courage and risk taking. You are different for a little while. A gift given of sensitivity. Compassion (you rarely express) will fall from your lips. Then a different sort of discontent creating a state of vulnerability. There is no fear. Only faith.




taurusTaurus April 21–May 21
Overseen by Venus, Earth’s elder sister, you are very accepting, adaptable, flexible, humanitarian and idealistic. You focus on the future. When called to be in the present you feel a deep challenge. At times it’s difficult to know what your hopes and wishes are. Simple goals are not enough. You want more, the best, the most. Artists are attracted to you. Listening better helps you can communicate better.




geminiGemini May 22–June 20
You see current trends and they fuel your creativity and vision, both mostly underground. Your creativity is in helping others who are challenged, who are drifting without a direction, seeking their purpose and calling in life. Actually you’re in these places many times so you bring understanding to those in these states. Childhood may have given you chaotic messages. It’s time for you to leave them now.




cancerCancer June 21–July 20
You’re assuming practical responsibilities and tending to things fallen to the wayside long ago. You felt you could never retrieve a sense of order and balance. But look at your life now. Day by day, you’re achieving that order and balance, harmony and beauty. You sense and accomplish the goals to be reached. At the end of the day, at your nightly review, you see your day was good. You see you can do anything and everything. You have discipline.




leoLeo July 21–August 22
You feel a spiritual longing. You thought you had tended to this long ago through various philosophic studies, living like a hermit, caring for the kingdoms of nature, using technology, and attempting to forget everyone in your past. All of this has left you wanting. Are you sharing resources with another? Are your financial records intact? You are creative and imaginative. You accept others into your life. However, you miss someone far away.

 


virgoVirgo August 23–September 22
Often you give more than most, and demand more than most. Wearing rose tinted glasses, sometimes your perceptions are more than accurate. Sometimes not. When you love someone you see their potential. This is good but unrealistic and you become disappointed. Call forth discrimination and discernment each morning upon awakening. You will become a more realistic communicator and partner. You will see reality.

 


libraLibra September 23–October 22
It’s important to see the details in managing day-to-day affairs, to create efficient routines, allotting different days for different tasks. These lessen confusion. It’s important to have boundaries, especially at work. Creating agendas helps you manage each day and week with order and organization. You must also tend to your health with this same amount of care. Have compassion for yourself and others.



scorpioScorpio October 23–November 21
A sense of drama sometimes overtakes you. Especially when the artist within begins to express itself. Which brings me to the idea of acting. Often you’re the actor on life’s stage, standing behind curtains of protection, eyes downcast, hiding all you know. Often, you only see things the way you want to see them and hear only what you want to hear. You attract those who need care. They reflect you perfectly.

 


saggSagittarius November 22–December 20
Viewing your childhood you may consider it was complex for you, a sensitive, preoccupied child. Perhaps now you’ve begun to long for a home, family, mothering and nurturing. So you attempt to create an extended family to love and nurture but really to be loved and nurtured by. It’s vital to step into quiet and solitude to revivify your spirit. Recognize family as the source of your present success. Then you see family clearly.

 


capricornCapricorn December 21–January 20
The planet Pluto is bringing about a transformation in your life. You’re aware of this. It’s bringing you out of a previous way of being and introducing you into a newer self-identity. Be aware that you may feel restrained and this will create feelings of frustration. Allow others to care for you, giving them opportunities to use their gifts and to serve. You never lack discipline. Do not press forward too soon or too fast your healing.

 


aquariusAquarius January 21–February 18
Making money through artistic pursuits suits you well, as you cannot be boxed into regular ways of working and living. Financial advice is always useful, especially for those not focused materialistically. Your ways of working are based on instincts, hunches, impressions. You wish for wealth. You actually are wealthy, but in different ways. When you realize this, all needs are met. You are to be generous in order to have and then give more.

 


piscesPisces February 19–March 20
Many consider you gentle, sensitive and sometimes too dreamy for “real” life. Yes, you’re sensitive, you do dream and you can be gentle when seeing others in need. Underneath the subtle allure of gentleness and peace that passes understanding is a strong, Plutonic character with a sensible approach to the world. Only a few see this. Only a few understand the power of your imagination and the ability you have to heal. Only a few.

Silent Dilemma

An inside look at body image and eating disorders. PLUS: Why ‘fat’ is not a feeling. My earliest memory of “feeling fat” was when I was about 12 years old. Up until that time, I was not all that aware of having a body; I was pretty much just in my body, doing the things that kids do. I had not yet learned that I was supposed to look differently than I did. I had not yet downloaded the program that some foods were “good” and others were “bad.” I did not yet have exercise and movement linked up with calorie burning or self-worth.

 

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.’”

 

The Price of Safety

The city's proposed budget addresses public safety needs The City of Santa Cruz’s pocketbook has come a long way since 2009, when an $8 million shortfall loomed. According to City Manager Martin Bernal, the proposed general fund budget for 2013-2014 is healthier than it has been since the beginning of The Great Recession in 2008. Armed with this returning stability, the proposal puts one of the community's top concerns—public safety—front and center.

 

Community Studies 2.0

After a controversial suspension, a new incarnation of the unique UC Santa Cruz major is reinstated The UC Santa Cruz community studies lounge is a great place to have a conversation.  Housed on the second floor of a faculty building in Oakes College, just down the hall from a whiteboard that reads “COMMUNITY STUDIES LIVES,” the room has a big round table, couches and chairs, and shelves stacked with past senior “capstone projects.”

 

North Pacific String Band

Jeff Wilson, who plays banjo for North Pacific String Band, loves being part of original music experiences. “What I like about the music we play is that it’s fairly unique and kind of hard to put your finger on,” Wilson says. “We’re not just trying to do bluegrass or country or folk. It’s a mixture of those things and we try to add in a lot of musicality to all of that.” Originality and musicality aren’t ideas which are limited to the band’s exploits either.

 

Peace in the Middle East

New dance-concert explores Palestinian-Israeli conflict Inspired by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, local choreographer Karl Schaffer’s “Mosaic” is a dance-concert featuring Jewish Diaspora and Arab music from the women’s choral group Zambra, singer Fattah Abbou and a troupe of local dancers. In between rehearsals for the show, which runs June 21-22 at Motion Pacific, Schaffer shared the story behind its creation.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Summer Solstice, Full Moon, Mercury Retros

Early morning Wednesday Mercury, star of communication and conflict, turns stationary retrograde (23 Cancer). We all know by now what not to do. And what to do—through July 19.

A Sustainable Culture

The popularity of old world yogurt is surging, and it’s easy to make at home Yogurt is a product of the ages. With a name originating in Turkey and probiotic benefits touted by the health food industry. A fondness for Greek-style yogurt has taken the country by storm, resulting in a tripling of the number of yogurt factories in New York State, and a $2 billion a year industry. What sets this Mediterranean yogurt apart is straining. Other cultures refer to the product as “hung” yogurt. Stirred yogurt is placed in a fine mesh strainer which has been lined with cheesecloth and suspended over a deep container. Watery whey seeps out, resulting in a thicker, denser yogurt with more protein by volume. It makes a lovely base for a stiffer tzatziki cucumber-garlic dip and spread.

 

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.

 

Is Edward Snowden a patriot or a traitor?

He's a patriot. Anyone who stands up for the rights that we stand for as a country, that is real democracy. That would be in my book—somebody who is a patriot. Leah WeissSanta Cruz | Therapist

 

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 |

 

Serene Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

There’s always an upbeat vibe going at MJA’s tasting room on the Westside. On a recent visit, the very sociable owner Marin Artukovich was busy pouring for a roomful of oenophiles having a good time. With the help of staff members, Artukovich makes sure that nobody waits too long to sample his fine wines, while also keeping track of every person’s flight.

 

Paying it Forward

Pianist Benny Green wants jazz’s past to continue to inform its future I can honestly say I’m still learning.” Hearing such an admirable, humble statement from someone like Benny Green—a jazz pianist, arranger, composer and band leader whose 30-plus year career includes performances and recordings with jazz luminaries like Oscar Peterson, Art Blakey and Betty Carter—might be surprising at first. But Green’s insatiable desire to keep learning has served him well. That desire—and his deep love of jazz—is something he wants today’s younger musicians to feel, too.

 

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.”

 

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.
