dear readers, hough there’s really no point in paying attention to it until next year, it’s been an amusing pre-season for would-be GOP Presidential contenders. From t the hey-looka-me birther-ism of Donald Trump, to the not-very nimble verbal tacking of Newt Gingrich, there’s been no shortage of political Grill it comedic gold lately. Indeed, watching Trump’s stone face while Obama and comedian Seth Myers lit him up at the White House Correspondents and they will come. Dinner—the President clearly relishing the dish-back after months of taking it—was much more fun than I’d care to admit, as I don’t usually Warren Kitchen & Cutlery. The Hudson Valley’s best enjoy watching somebody being the unwilling butt of jokes. Dadgumit, how I cackled with glee, even guffawed! And I actually wondered later: selection of fine cutlery, professional cookware, appliances, why did I enjoy this—admittedly richly deserved—humiliation of this guy serving pieces, culinary tools— and the area’s exclusive so much? dealership for Primo US-Made Ceramic Grill and Smokers. I guess it’s really the utter lack of humility and genuine compassion exhibited by Trump, and so many others of his ilk, that kindles this cheap mirth of mine. Humility has apparently become a sign of weakness in the world of luxury and high finance in this country, unlike Japan. People like Trump operate completely in their own reality, getting pampered and kowtowed to, and start believing themselves to be invincible, even armored. The self-delusion can be psychically crippling: Trump pulled out of the Presidential race actually claiming that he had no doubt that had he decided to stick with it, he would become President in 2012! Of course, Your Food Here! nobody except his immediate family and “apprentices” believes that for a nanosecond. But The Donald obviously does, or at least wants us to think he does. And that stone face of his on YouTube that made me giggle so revealed not armor, but wafer-thin skin. Almost feel sorry for him. He he, almost. Such hubris…

Nope, no humility in the U.S.A. It’s like American Gladiator never went off the air. It’s the whole ‘roided-up We’re-Number-One mentality our culture embraces, even a drug-fueled flameout like Charlie Sheen. Meanwhile folks who work hard doing good things for society find— through no fault of their own—their wages stagnant or reduced, their collective bargaining rights under fire, their salaries eliminated to cover the shortfall created by state governments lowering corporate taxes, ostensibly to “lure in business.” On certain cable “news” channels, those workers who protest these doings get to be labeled as “freeloaders,” “parasites,” and “Un-American.” And the banks and hedge fund folks who sank the ship in 2008? Why they need even less regulation nowadays, they’re “job creators,” don’t you know? Just like the major corporations create jobs. Well, in other countries anyway.

And there won’t be much humility to come, because that actually requires being willing to take responsibility for our actions, especially when they are wrong. And when was the last time you saw that done on the national stage, except for when a politician goes public with an infidelity? (Hi, Arnold!) We don’t do “I’m sorry” round here pal. Besides, country singers have trouble finding rhymes for “sorry.” Try it yourself sometime, it’s pretty hard!

So, we turn to the respite of the arts. We humbly present encaustics artist Nadja Petrov who draws from her father’s experience in the fabled Dadaist • Unique and rare knives from around the world. movement to create multi-textured abstracts of her own.

Plus, all that other good stuff we bring you every month.

encaustics on deadline Nadja Petrov’s

perpetual state of grace (under pressure) By Jay Blotcher

8 | rollmagazine.com ’m in over my head right now, in every aspect of my life.” if she is unable to find the time or inspiration for four additional pieces, Petrov is not above including older pieces in the KMOCA show. For this, she offers no apologies. For many,I such a declaration may appear to be either a complaint or a cry for help. But for artist Nadja Petrov, such challenging circumstances “I stopped dating my pieces,” she said. “They’re all valid all the time. So provide fertile ground for her creative output. what’s the point of putting a date on it?”

““I work really well under pressure.” As wax simmers in a hot water bath by the window, Petrov considers the four works in progress leaning on an easel before her. Each mini-canvas A good thing, because the Glenford–based artist has a show opening is actually a wooden board, rescued from a collapsing Stone Ridge barn. shortly at Kingston Museum of Contemporary Arts, and she has created She jumps from piece to piece nudging them all to completion. only four of the eight encaustics she has promised to the exhibition. “I just look at them for awhile and try to get a feel for just what the On her web site, Petrov calls herself “an emerging artist.” The board is like, or what it says to me,” she said. “Each one has a different description might be apt if one were to strictly measure her body of kind of feeling.” work by a number or a timetable. Petrov is anything but consistent and her output sporadic, for she divides her time disproportionately between The boards are enrobed in various configurations of wax and wax-based gardening for hire across the countryside and occasionally turning out encaustic paint. The wax on one board has dried to a hue of chocolate- pen-and-ink drawings, acrylic paintings and encaustics in the second- brown, putting her in mind of excrement. Petrov frowns at the notion floor studio of her home. and considers stripping off the layer.

Nonetheless, her work manages to find its way into an average of four Around the room, Petrov’s abstract paintings in acrylic bear witness to shows each year. Notable exhibitions include a 1998 solo show at The her style, whose hallmarks are upbeat colors, a painstaking draftsmanship Woodstock Artists Association show and the 1995 group show “Six and a meditative style that never strays from an inherent optimism. The Artists” at . world is chaotic and random, her works suggest, but there is always respite from the horror if you search for those sanity-saving lacunae. A vulnerable smile constantly crosses Petrov’s face like a nervous tic, but it usually precedes a disarmingly guileless confession. Like this one: If you hope to glean further insight into Petrov’s psyche, the artist proffers no easy roadmaps. In fact, her works pointedly lack titles.

“It drives people crazy,” she said, suggesting with a blithe laugh that this vexation is indeed her intention. “Everyone’s always looking for some kind of clue.”

When it comes to clues, her lineage offers ample illumination; Nadja is one of five children of Dimitri Petrov, a Pennsylvania-born artist of Russian heritage. Artistry was encouraged in the children from the start, she said.

Dimitri would allow his offspring to stretch his canvases and apply gesso, or sharpen his drawing pencils. The artist would even allow them the chance to sketch some preliminary lines on his latest drawing or engraving, lines which the artist would retain in his finished piece.

The elder Petrov ran with a fabled crowd: Dadaist and Surrealist legends Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, John Cage and Man Ray. Among their collaborations with Petrov were a surrealist newspaper and the Prospero series of poet-artist books.

“[Art-making] was always in my household and in my family.”

Nadja Petrov retains a curious memory from her second year of life: she is parked in

the middle of the kitchen table, several of her father’s iconic friends seated around her, watching in amusement as she eats from a bowl of pickled pig’s feet.

“[Dad] thought it was so cute.”

In 1977, when Nadja was 13, Petrov moved his wife and family from Western Massachusetts to Woodstock. Nadja enrolled in Ulster Academy, an alternative high school. As she grow older and began creating her own artwork, Dimitri encouraged his daughter, offering gentle but firm critiques of her work, encouraging the girl to develop her own aesthetics. He died in 1986, when she was 22.

There are expansive moments of grace and peace all around Nadja Petrov; she lives on the sloped grounds of a former military sleepaway compound for boys, once called Camp Alert. Her two-story home was formerly the camp infirmary.

From the house’s huge windows, Petrov can watch a falcon alight periodically on the nearby flagpole or mark the progress of beavers building on the pond down the hill. But these are neither distractions nor inspirations, Petrov explains. She tends to draw from within herself for direction. In the case of the current works, the artist has taken time to study each piece of wood, listening for its individual “voice” before covering the knotty surface in pigmented wax.

“One thing makes another thing happen; it kind of evolves on its own.”

After a day of gardening for clients—she is currently creating a vegetable garden for a Woodstock bistro—Petrov will return home and nap for a while. She will awake in the early evening and work in the studio until after midnight.

While the artist steals away time for creativity when she can, the frantic scramble seemingly fueling her work, she does admit to an optimal time for heeding her muse.

“You know that Sunday morning feeling?” she said. “You have your coffee, there’s good music on the radio. That inspires me. I can look out the window and feel like, ah, this is just right for sitting down and drawing.”

Asked about the people who inspire her work, Petrov did not offer an exhaustive list of mentors at crucial junctures in her life. She simply cited those artists who are “most free,” a pointed allusion to her father and his confreres, who created iconoclastic manifestos with their bold, unsettling statements and images.

If Nadja Petrov is not as intent upon scaring the horses, neither does she shy away from her own truths.

“The less fear you have, the better off you are,” she said, “the more honest your statement’s going to be.”

“Still,” a dual exhibition by Nadja Petrov and photographer Fionn Reilly runs June 4 through June 25 at Kingston Museum of Contemporary Arts (KMOCA),103 Abeel Street, Kingston. kmoca.org. Open Saturdays 12-4 PM or by appointment. See additional artwork by Nadja Petrov at www.shokan.net/petrov.

There’s a lot of talking analog recording technology saw a major boom, and vinyl mastering, between the two during the show, and if there’s a heavyweight artist well, was mastered. “Old Studio One from the 60s and 70s, bands like with them, no time to enjoy the show. Got to stay two steps ahead. And The Royals, Alton Ellis, Delroy Wilson, Heptones, Paragon….people the artists, though sometimes exacting in what they want to hear, are who were saying something.” Leith got his collection going, and in the still a real pleasure to work with. Sarah: “These reggae guys whip out late 80s/early 90s, got out and DJ-ed parties in the boroughs, making the craziest lyrics from the cheesiest songs of my childhood. Like, ‘know a network of contacts before taking a break from it to concentrate on when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em.’ But you can’t believe how his work (he’s a teacher) and home life, and relocating upstate to good it sounds reggae! They’ll even sing ‘Wind Beneath My Wings,’ and Woodstock in ’95. it’ll sound so good.

RoyalHeartSound records DJ of the house at an early age. “I was really only exposed to what was their shows. On analog tape, of course. on the radio, so as I got older and got more into music, I went through a punk rock phase. Then I got into the Grateful Dead, followed them for There’s no fortune to be made doing this; both Leith and Sarah have a couple of years…which is how I ended up in this town, because I had “real jobs.” But they get a real pleasure spinning this great music, and met people from Kingston on Dead tour.” Running up to Woodstock one have found themselves a welcome addition to the stateside sound system afternoon with her friends, Sarah decided to settle down there instead, scene, which naturally tends to be more focused in New York City, at around 1990. Then, a good friend turned her on to his extensive collection places like the Tire Shop in the Bronx—an actual grimy tire shop with a of reggae, and she was hooked. Like Leith, she was attracted to the DJ stage in back. They will be opening Mountain Jam at Hunter Mountain life, and made the same choice of musical genres to present. The two with their old-school “riddims,” with both toaster Jeremiah and singer were thrown together during a Woodstock Reggae event on the town Willow Wilson joining them, and Otto, of course. Leith and Sarah feel green—they had met 15 years previously but hadn’t seen each other it’s a good opportunity to introduce their sound system to a potentially since—and quickly decided to join forces to assemble a proper Jamaican receptive audience. Sarah: “As a Deadhead, the reason I love this music sound system, one with their “own flavor” on it. With the addition so much it that it has moved me in a way that other beloved music (styles) of saxophonist Otto Control adding a dash of soul and authenticity, have moved me. And I feel like the jam band scene…if they only knew RoyalHeartSound debuted at the Bearsville Theater, with special guest about it, they’d be into it.” Twelfth Tribe of Israel’s Jeremiah at the mic. Both Leith and Sarah knew they had something real that night, and the word has since gotten around RoyalHeartSound performs at Mountain Jam on Thursday June 2. See music festival in the reggae scene. section for more information.

What’s getting RoyalHeartSound attention from the sound system community is their commitment to the older, earthier sound and style. Sarah: “We’d start playing, thinking we’re not doing anything so new and fresh, but all the Jamaicans are like: ‘oh, you’re doing it like that? We don’t even do it like that anymore.’ They got rid of their vinyl long ago.” The older dance-tested “riddims” are being re-adopted by some of the a unique & secluded, handcrafted house newer artists, who are likely getting weary of the machine-generated available for a vacation or weekend get-away sound of much of recent reggae, as well as the dancehall and reggaeton sounds. Here it’s all about the vinyl, which just sounds right, especially if you were raised on it. And really, it also just looks better. Leith: “To me, to do it digitally, if you actually look at someone’s face when they’re DJ- ing off a computer, it’s like, their vibe is focused on the computer. Our vibe is, I’m meditating on a whole ‘nother place, I’m on a whole ‘nother range. When we’re in that vibe, it’s a real kind of cleansing place, where everything’s moving and we’re doing our thing.”

The heart of the system is the vinyl collection, and you would think that there was a finite amount of great Jamaican reggae records from the 60s and 70s, but they keep popping up online, often with outrageous price theWOODS tags. Leith and Sarah scan websites for re-issues, which if mastered well, r e t r e a t will sound better than the more pricey originals, which also tend to be more played out. On a typical gig, the DJs loosely plan the overall shape of the show based on the guest artist, and bring their crates, mics, effects, and turntables to the venue, usually utilizing the house sound rig. Once setup and sound check are complete, the DJs start in with what Sarah calls the “easy warm,” a selection of songs designed to set the vibe right. www.thewoodshudsonvalleyretreat.com After awhile, Otto and the vocalists fall in. Leith: “Like for example, we did a show with this artist Michigan, from Michigan and Smiley, early 80s. Showcased him with his more popular rhythms, something he has or call donna @ 845.594.9247 out now. And then we just did our own thing afterwards, he’ll just pick something, and whatever happens, happens.” More often than not, the DJs will have the right vinyl to back the guest artist, unless the “riddim” real seclusion. real privacy. real bliss. is just too brand spanking new, and they have to go to the CD.

Su 6/5- Pianists MICHAEL BARRETT and MICHAEL BORISKIN perform Stravinsky’s “THE RITE OF SPRING” at Copland House at Merestead, Mount Kisco—Well, it’s safe to say it probably won’t quite be like the famous Paris premiere at the Théâtre des Champs- Élysées in 1913, when the combination of Vazlav Nijinsky’s scandalous choreography matched with Igor Stravinsky’s modernly atonal/ rhythmically churning score caused a riot, causing concert promoter Serge Diaghliev to reach for the house lights, flickering them in an attempt to calm the erupting audience, and the composer to hold the coattails of the choreographer, the latter teetering on a chair screaming out the dance counts over the crowd noise. Ah, good times. Even since that notorious proto-rock ‘n’ roll Igor Stravinsky show, Stravinsky’s Le sacre du printemps, or “The Rite of Spring” has always brought that kind of primal power, especially with full orchestra, even without the crazy dancers dancing themselves to death. And it just so happens that Stravinsky himself composed a four-handed piano version even before he completed the orchestral score, which retains the rhythmic power and glory of the work in the lusciously percussive realm of the piano. And the pianists for this particular afternoon? Michael Barrett, CEO and General Director of the Caramoor International Music Festival, and Michael Boriskin, Artistic and Executive Director of Copland House.

Th-Su 6/2 through 6/5- MOUNTAIN JAM FESTIVAL 2011, at Hunter Mountain, Hunter— Though by the time this magazine comes out you have probably already gotten your tickets by now, we would be remiss if we didn’t make mention of the Catskill’s premier music happening. This summer’s festival season kicks off with its usual bang up at Hunter Mountain with the ever-popular Mountain Jam Festival. Produced by CHET-5 Entertainment, LLC, in association with WDST Radio Woodstock and guitarist Warren Haynes (Gov’t Mule, Allman Bros.), it’s four days, four stages, and over 50 bands playing for up to 15,000 people in a large temporary community. And—unless you just want it that way—it’s not completely roughing it up there; condos are available to rent, camping for 5000 is available, the usual food, drink, and crafts vendors are interspersed, plus indoor bathrooms and a large indoor full-service bar and late night scene. The environment is also extremely family-friendly (no charge for under 10) with a children’s tent, and there’s the Awareness Village with exhibits from not-for-profit organizations and environmental groups, performance and sculpture art, physical and spiritual healing, and beer and wine garden. Now in its seventh year, the festival has worked out any kinks, and has become a smoothly-run summer favorite for bands and fans alike, with an ever-expanding galaxy of musical styles represented. Package deals and VIP specials can be available up until the festival dates online at mountainjam.com, see website also for updated schedule and directions, as well as WDST.com.

Sa/Su 6/18 & 19- CLEARWATER FESTIVAL 2011-GREAT HUDSON RIVER REVIVAL, at Croton Point Park, Croton-on-Hudson—Ah…if it’s June in the Hudson Valley, it’s also time for the yearly fundraising festival for the protection and purification of the mighty Hudson River known as the Clearwater Festival-Great Hudson River Revival. What started back in the late 60s with legendary folk master Pete Seeger passing the hat at gigs and gatherings, raising money for the sloop Clearwater—an important flagship for the American environmental movement—has become a yearly extravaganza featuring some of the finest musical talent in the nation, and beyond. This year Pete presents “Clearwater Generations,” emphasizing the importance of passing environmental inspiration and education to the younger generations, by presenting sets with generations of musicians at the close of both evenings. These performances feature: Pete & Tao Seeger, Arlo & Sarah Lee Guthrie, Peter & Bethany Yarrow, Bernice Johnson Reagon & Toshi Reagon, John & Ben Sebastian, Tom & Jen Chapin (Tom’s niece and Harry Chapin’s daughter), Jay Ungar & Ruthy Ungar Merenda, David Amram & the Amram kids, and more. This is one very family-friendly event, five stages of music, with numerous fun and educational things happening on the waterfront, jugglers, clowns, storytellers, and the regional favorite, Arm-Of-The-Sea Theater with their amazing puppetry. There is, of course, food, beverages, arts and crafts vendors, but also activist booths, where you can find out what can be done to assist with the ongoing rehabilitation of our lands and waterways. And yes, camping is available. Mr. Seeger and company throw a fine party, be a shame if you missed it. Visit www.clearwater.org, and all questions concerning directions, tickets, scheduling, and what-have-you can be easily answered. Or call 845.418.3596.

Beck referred to these individual scenes as “cup gardens”. And live alone in the bee-loud glade. Innisfree was named after the poem by William Butler Yeats, which uses And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, imagery of an island in Ireland’s Lough Gill. Beck was inspired by the Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; scroll paintings of the eighth-century Chinese artist Wang Wei, whose There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, paintings depict a series of individual landscape or garden scenes. As he And evening full of the linnet’s wings. created each small garden, Beck tried to follow the Chinese philosophy that gardens are an art form, and the designer must consider balance, I will arise and go now, for always night and day harmony, proportion and variety through the use of natural elements, I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; such as rock and water, to achieve these essential elements. Walter While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, Beck strove to attain these goals. Undoubtedly, his efforts were further I hear it in the deep heart’s core. enhanced by his vision as a painter and his understanding of Chinese garden design. —W. B.

At each juncture, the thirty years by the American painter Otto Walter Beck. Reflecting lie of the land is used to give the viewer an enchanting, seemingly natural Ra fusion of Chinese and Japanese landscape design aesthetics, the view of the unfolding landscape. Consideration of every point of view 34 | rollmagazine.com is given, either of the garden you’ve just passed through, or the scene to your left or right.

The path around the 40-acre glacial lake compels the visitor to linger in a particularly enticing setting, to take a detour to hear the rush of water from a falls, or the gurgling of a brook. There are terraces with chairs to sit on with beautiful stone sculptures placed about. There’s a bog garden, planters with peonies and alliums, a wonderful assortment of plants, some known to most, others that will be much less familiar. There are rock cliffs and pergolas, a retaining wall with climbing hydrangea tumbling down and everywhere, rock and water, water and rock; a lovely, living reflection on Eastern philosophy: upright stone/ yang (masculine) in tandem with water/yin (feminine).

Most of the plant material is native, and the rocks—sandstone, limestone, granite and quartz—were brought in from the surrounding forest. There are water lilies and lotus in the lake, gray herons, an assortment of birds and wildlife including three-foot water turtles.

Innisfree, however visually beautiful, holds another much deeper enchantment; one of restorative contemplation. What better place to wander amongst native flora, relax alongside magnificent stone, to sit alongside a stream or fountain, to rest in a garden filled with visual delights, to gaze upon a landscape like no other and feel at peace.

Sa 6/25- NANCY OSTROVSKY (painter) and STAN STRICKLAND (woodwinds, percussion) at the Rosendale Theatre, Rosendale—Watching an artist paint can often be marginally more interesting than watching paint dry, after all, the artist is not there to entertain the witness. Unless it’s the painter Nancy Ostrovsky, who— in collabaration with one or more musicians—invites an audience to share the process, using their energy in tandem with the music to inspire the painting, as it happens. It can be risky, but North African- born Ostrovsky gets some pretty amazing results from the immediacy of the moment, having done this for over 30 years, with musicians as diverse as David Murray, Fred Hopkins, Erica Lindsay, Roswell Rudd, Glynis Loman, Leonard Brown, Lisa Thorson's JazzArtSigns, Syd Smart, Thurman Barker, Elizabeth Panzer, Ferdinand Forsch, and Hugh Brodie. To quote the artist from an Italian interview in 2007, “The intricacies of the use of colors—patterns and composition, and images from my unconscious, are all important aspects of how I respond to the music I am hearing, giving me an infinite number of possibilities. Good music hits me in my belly, works its way through my body, creating emotions and energies that force me to be real, as real as possible while painting that particular work.” The results are often figurative, kinetic, passionate. For this Rosendale Theatre event she is accompanied by Stan Strickland, a musical and artistic polymath: singer, saxophonist, flutist, percussionist, actor, educator Nancy Ostrovsky (Berklee College of Music, Tufts, Lesley College, Longy School of Music), filmmaker, and arts therapist.

Make sure to use Haas avocados (the ones with pebbly black skins, not the big smooth green ones from Florida). A ripe avocado should yield slightly under finger pressure; it should be neither hard nor squishy.

What you need: 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced 2 scallions, green and white parts, chopped 1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed and minced 1 small tomato, seeded and chopped ½ lime, juice only 1 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped (or more, to taste) 2 ripe Haas avocados salt and Tabasco/hot pepper sauce (if needed)

Place first six ingredients in a heavy bowl. Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the green flesh into the bowl. Make sure to scrape close to the skin, as the avocado is greenest and most-flavorful there. Mash until well-mixed but still revealing the individual ingredients (it should not be a uniform paste). Adjust seasoning with salt and Tabasco to taste. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves, if desired.

Note: Guacamole will quickly turn brown if exposed to air. Contrary to some people's beliefs, embedding the seeds in the guacamole does not prevent browning.

As the movie begins, a caption on the screen informs viewers that “More of VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The great pleasure in life is this is true than you would believe.” I suspect there’ll be a comparable doing what people say you cannot do,” wrote the essayist situation unfolding in your life in the coming weeks, Aries. As you Walter Bagehot. Personally, I don’t think that’s the experience a rather unusual departure from your regularly scheduled supreme joy possible to a human being; but it definitely reality, fact and fiction may be deeply intertwined. Will you be able to has a provocative appeal. May I recommend that tell them apart? you explore it in the coming weeks, Virgo? The astrological omens suggest you’re in an excellent position TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I dreamed you were a to succeed at an undertaking you’ve been told is unlikely or even member of an indigenous tribe in what Westerners call New impossible for you to accomplish. Guinea. You had recently begun to show unusual behavior that suggested you were developing enhanced cognitive abilities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When people unsubscribe You’d solved one of the tribe’s long-standing problems, were from my newsletter, they’re asked to say why they’re spontaneously spouting improvised poetry, and had been spotted leaving. In a recent note, a dissatisfied customer outside late at night having animated conversations with the stars. Some wrote, “Because you are a crackhead who makes no sense. You sound of your friends and relatives were now referring to you by a new name like you write these horoscopes while you’re stoned on mushrooms.” For that in your native tongue meant “the one who dances naked with the the record, I not only refrain from crack and magic mushrooms while deities.” How would you interpret my dream, Taurus? I think it suggests crafting your oracles; I don’t partake of any intoxicants at any other you could be on the verge of growing an intriguing new capacity time, either—not even beer or pot. I’m secretly a bit proud, however, or two. that the irate ex-reader thinks my drug-free mind is so wild. In the coming weeks, Libra, I invite you to try an experiment inspired by this GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the far northern reaches scenario: Without losing your mind, see if you can shed some of the of Ilulissat, a town in Greenland, the sun sets for good on habitual restrictions you allow to impinge on the free and creative play November 29 every year and doesn’t rise again until of your mind. January 13. Or at least that was the case until 2011. This year, to the shock of locals, sunlight broke over SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The roots of big old trees the horizon on January 11—two days ahead of schedule. Though a few are your power objects. I advise you to visualize them alarmists theorized that this disturbance in the age-old rhythm was due in your mind’s eye for a few minutes each day, maybe to a shift in the earth’s axis or rotation, scientists suggested that the cause even go look at actual trees whose roots are showing was global warming: Melting ice has caused the horizon to sink. I expect above ground. Doing this will strengthen your resolve and something equally monumental to make an appearance in your world increase your patience and help you find the deeper sources of nurturing soon, Gemini. Can you handle an increased amount of light? you need. Another exercise that’s likely to energize you in just the right way is to picture yourself at age 77. I suggest you create a detailed vision CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’m not a big fan of the of who you’ll be at that time. See yourself drinking a cup of tea as you “No Pain, No Gain” school of thought. Personally, I gaze out over a verdant valley on a sunny afternoon in June. What are have drummed up more marvels and wonders through you wearing? What kind of tea is it? What birds do you see? What are the power of rowdy bliss than I have from hauling your favorite memories of the last 30 years? thousand-pound burdens across the wasteland. But I do recognize that in my own story as well as in others’, SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’re a physicist hardship can sometimes provoke inspiration. I think it may be one or Wall Street broker, your assignment this week is to read of those moments for you, Cancerian. Please accept this medicinal the poetry of Pablo Neruda (bit.ly/NerudaSongs). If prod from the ancient Roman poet Horace: “Adversity has the effect you’re a kirtan-chanting yogini or the author of a New of eliciting talents that in times of prosperity would have Age self-help newsletter, your task is to read up on the scientific method lain dormant.” (bit.ly/ScienceMethod). If you’re white, be black, and vice versa. If you’re yellow, be violet, and if red, be green. If you’re a tight-fisted LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In his 1934 book Beyond the control freak, try being a laid-back connoisseur of the mellowest vibes Mexican Bay, British author Aldous Huxley observed that imaginable—and vice versa. It’s Mix-It-Up Month, Sagittarius—a time “the natural rhythm of human life is routine punctuated to play with flipping and flopping your usual perspectives, roles, and by orgies.” He was using the word “orgies” in its broadest angles.

46 | rollmagazine.com CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Describing muckraking journalist Peter Freyne, Senator Patrick Leahy said, “He knew the difference between healthy skepticism and hollow cynicism.” Mastering that distinction happens to be your next assignment, Capricorn. Can you distinguish between your tendency to make compulsive negative judgments and your skill at practicing thoughtful and compassionate discernment? My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you will have a successful month if you do. Not only that: The universe will conspire to bring you blessings you didn’t even realize you needed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There is time for work,” said fashion designer Coco Chanel, “and time for love. That leaves no other time.” I understand and sympathize with that perspective. But I’m going to beg you to make an exception to it in the coming weeks, Aquarius. In addition to getting a healthy quota of work and love, please do your best to carve out a few hours specifically devoted to engaging in unadulterated, unapologetic, unbridled play—the kind of flat-out, free-form, full-tilt fun and games that has the effect of permanently increasing your levels of liberation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Although I myself have an intimate ongoing relationship with the Divine Wow, it’s perfectly fine with me if other people don’t. Some of my best friends are atheists and agnostics. But I must admit that I laughed derisively when I heard that the supposed genius named Stephen Hawking declared, with the fanatical certainty of a religious fundamentalist, that heaven does not exist. How unscientific of him! The intellectually honest perspective is, of course, that there’s no way to know for sure about that possibility. I bring this up, Pisces, as an example of what not to do. It’s particularly important right now that you not be blinded by your theories about the way things work. If you put the emphasis on your raw experience rather than your preconceived biases, you will be blessed with as much beauty and truth as you can handle.
