Behold, I Make All Things New

RisaNewSSaturday is Spring Equinox and International Astrology Day. Monday is World Water Day (clean water for a healthy world) at the United Nations. See link. At equinox, the Sun shines directly over Earth’s equator, having passed from southern to northern latitudes, making its way to the Tropic of Cancer (Summer Solstice). This is the astronomical Resurrection.

The night and early morning skies are filled with starry lights. To the left of Orion’s belt (three stars in a row) is Sirius (Ray 2) where Love originates. To Orion’s right are the Pleiades, Ray 3, where Intelligence originates. Turning around we see the Big Dipper (Ray 1, where Will originates), it’s seven stars and Seven Rays influencing all life on Earth. Jupiter (Ray 2) is the morning star with Mercury (Ray 4), Venus (Ray 5), Mars (Ray 6) and Saturn (Ray 3) nightlights. It’s good to introduce our selves to the stars and planets. There’s always a response.

At spring Equinox, the Sun distributes the fires (creative energies) of Aries (Rays 1 & 7) beginning the new solar year. Aries, always first, rules the head. We visualize the head’s spiritual centers awakened and illumined. As new rhythms enter the Earth, heavenly fires touch the rootlets in the plant kingdom. The fires also touch the animal kingdom to bring forth a new generation. Humanity is part animal, part god. The disciple James relates to Aries. James was the first to answer the Discipleship call, the first martyr. The first Initiatory event in Aries is the Transfiguration. Aries (Rays 1 & 7) is the first of the fire mysteries. The Archangel Raphael, Mercury/Hermes, now assumes protection of the Earth.

Esoteric Astrology as News for the week of Mar 18–Mar 24, 20 For Sun and Rising Signs

ariesAries-March 21–April 20
The issues you’re facing have to do with shared things – like money and possessions and belongings. For now you think it all belongs to you. The issues are also about things close and intimate, serious things like knowing you need a change from the usual ways of being. It’s been a long year and you’ve been busy. It’s time to take a few days away in retreat and solitude before beginning anew. Think before acting.

taurusTaurus
April 21–May 21
You’re compelled to accomplish the work of multiple people. Even when the situation is unbearable you push right through. Are you tending to health concerns and providing yourself the same (or more) care you show to others? I think not. I want to engage you in a discussion about your health and ask that this become a primary focus for several years. Saturn will help. Saturn demands it.

geminiGemini
May 22–June 20
Beyond relationship, health and work issues, you’re realizing the changes occurring for everyone are deeply significant, and you question what your position, place and actual work will be in creating humanity’s future. Perhaps you can answer several questions. What inspires you? What revolution(s) would you be part of? What does “green” mean to you practically? Are you part of Transition Town Initiative?

cancerCancer
June 21–July 20
Are you finding many things simple yet very complex at the same time? Profound change in your thinking is occurring daily. New and vital information, not understood by most, turns into insightful and weighty realizations. You become more and more visible to the world and in the public. Later, with acceptance, this will make more sense. Tend to what hurts.

leoLeo
July 21–August 22
Continue to build, construct, formulate, plan and craft your artistic and creative endeavors. Create solitary time where there are no interruptions and a long flow of time to accomplish great amounts of work. You remain both in the world and yet a bit hidden both of which are good for you at this time. Be careful with activities. You could hurt yourself.

virgoVirgo
August 23–September 22
If you feel you’re lost in clouds of unknowing, even while walking from room to room, and can’t seem to find things it’s because your usual direct and focused mind is being influenced by Neptune, god of the waters. Things dissolve so they later can be refined, uplifted and spiritualized. In communicating, realize you think and talk ceaselessly in order to understand yourself more clearly.

libraLibra
September 23–October 22
You try to discipline yourself because so often you simply feel in a state of chaos and conflict. Discipline helps you move forward with more clarity. Conflict and chaos function like rainstorms, washing away dust and debris. You want to express your authentic self but recently have found it difficult. So you’re silent. This isn’t easy. Find something or someone you can quietly serve. Make a point of stabilizing your relationship.

scorpioScorpio
October 23–November 21
You are completely and vitally busy here, there and everywhere—with so many realities summoning you it’s difficult to decide how to accomplish it all and actually you simply can’t. So the reality becomes choosing which actions to focus upon, how to hide away while still being in the world, who to trust, and what you creatively expect of yourself. You’re conflicted (not new). That focus will come … and go.

saggSagittarius
November 22–December 20
It’s possible you’ve come to the end of a long road where transformation was the only experience you understood and you raged against it. If you think back over the previous 10 years, you’re now a very different person. You’ve been considering new forms of work in the world. In time (during a transit) everything will make sense. These issues take a long time to form. While you’re waiting, be kind. It’s a magnetic attractive force

capricornCapricorn
December 21–January 20
There are many new things to accomplish at home and perhaps some very internal issues also. What’s occurring with relationships? As you attempt to move forward, deep feelings, emotions and several wounds are felt. They’re here and then they’re gone—to reappear again later. Feelings of vulnerability occur with others. Just love more, no matter what. Begin to eat a solid (protein, veggies) breakfast to stabilize metabolism.

aquariusAquarius
January 21–February 18
So many thoughts, ideas, plans and purposes swirl through your mind. You ponder upon unusual projects, places to visit, people to meet. Keep thinking about this future while remaining focused on present goals. Some Aquarians may need to move to a new neighborhood. Your mind works overtime in the coming weeks asking what goals do you want to work with and how do you want to live in your future? Be generous.


piscesPisces
February 19–March 20
New opportunities and archetypes are being offered creating a reshaping and rebalancing of your very life. You realize you’re not alone. Unusual opportunities are also being offered for new ways to use your money and resources. This leads to a new self-identity. You’re seen as a creative resource. You’ll come out of hiding very quietly and slowly. You need new shoes.

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.’”

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 |

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
