Plastics bill moves forward in SacramentoMADELEINE PAUKERDaily Press Staff Writer

A bill to phase out single-use plastics by 2030 passed Wednesday in the state senate and its companion bill passed Thursday in the state assembly.

Sen. Ben Allen, who represents the Westside, Hollywood and the South Bay in the California State Senate, introduced legislation in February requiring all single-use packaging and products to be reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2030. Senate Bill 54 would also require California to

recycle or divert 75 percent of single-use materials. The state currently recycles just 15 percent of single-use plastics.

“We have a waste and pollution crisis on our hands and the bottom has fallen out of our recycling market in the wake of China’s decision to no longer take our waste,” Allen said. “This legislation provides a comprehensive plan to transition manufacturers and consumers toward more sustainable packaging and products.”

Assm. Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) introduced SB 50’s companion

bill, Assembly Bill 1080. Both are called the California Circular Economy and Plastic Pollution Reduction Act. They follow two statewide measures aimed out phasing out plastics: last year’s law requiring businesses to only provide plastic straws on request and a 2014 ban on single-use plastic bags. Both laws were the first of their kind nationwide.

Allen also passed a law last September that requires state facilities to serve food in reusable, recyclable or compostable containers.

Pride arrives at the Pier for the first time

For a Left-leaning city, a glaring omission in Santa Monica’s past has been celebrating an iconic event such as Pride. This weekend, that changes, with Pride arriving at one of Santa Monica’s most iconic landmarks.

In addition to Downtown

As the county’s homelessness crisis continues to grow, agencies that have traditionally operated outside the social services field are being forced to realign their organizations and assume leadership roles normally reserved for large municipalities.

Metro, the county’s transportation agency, has moved to the front lines of the fight against homelessness with an expansion of outreach teams traveling on buses/trains and plans to provide new shelters for homeless individuals who currently use transit as a form of temporary housing.

Metro originally approved $1.2 million to deploy City, County, Community (C3) teams on buses and trains in 2016. The organization recently approved a $4.9 million extension will keep the teams on Metro lines through May 2021.

Nominations Being Accepted for the 2019 Mark J. Benjamin Community Impact Awards

The Human Relations Council Santa Monica Bay Area reminds local nonprofit organizations, businesses and neighborhood associations that the deadline is Friday, June 14 for submission of nominations for the 2019 Mark J. Benjamin Community Impact Awards Program.

The goal of the HRC’s Mark J. Benjamin Community Impact Awards Program is to recognize

individuals who, through their behavior and commitment, are role models for a respectful and socially just community. This person as a volunteer contributes to and impacts building inclu-sivity and equal access to opportunities. The honorees are people who:

(1) promote understanding within our diverse community,(2) make a difference, and(3) demonstrate compassion for others. They invite organizations to participate in the 5th Annual Mark J. Benjamin Community Impact

Awards Program by nominating someone who represents both the organization’s mission and the HRC’s goals. Additional information and the nomination form may be obtained on http://hrcsantamonica.org. The nominations will be reviewed and the awardees will be announced in August and honored at a special event on Wednesday, September 11, in Santa Monica.

Robert F. Kennedy observed, “Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others…he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current.” The HRC believes it is the sum of the modest, ongoing activities of many that lead to enduring change. Too often, these efforts go unrecognized. The HRC is asking local organizations to help us identify members of our community who are making a significant impact and allow us to recognize their contribu-tions as volunteers.

For additional information and the nomination form, please check out the HRC website: hrcsantamonica.org or contact by email: [email protected].

PASADENASanders, Harris seek Hispanic votes at California forum

Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris dueled Friday over Hispanic votes in California, a central front in the nation’s immigration battle where Latinos represent the state’s largest ethnic group.

As the nation’s most populous state, California holds a trove of 2020 delegates that are being eagerly sought by Democratic presidential rivals. The appearance of the two promi-nent contenders at a forum organized by immigrant rights activists kicked off several days of intense campaigning in the state, which will culminate at a state Democratic convention in San Francisco where 14 candidates are scheduled to appear.

Harris elicited a burst of applause when she told the group that she was a proud daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, then promised that if elected she would work for compre-hensive immigration reform in her first 100 days in office.

She also promised to end the “hate-driven” policies of the Trump administration, including the so-called travel ban.

“This is a nation that was founded by immigrants,” she said at one point. Any delay, she said, brings more human suffering when families are separated or treated unjustly.

“We will fight,” she said.Candidates can expect a skeptical look from many voters, Latino and otherwise, who have

heard promises from both parties for years about immigration reform that never arrived.Lisa Luther, who attended a raucous Sanders rally earlier in the day at a nearby convention

center, said she was confident the senator could deliver on immigration reform when other Democrats have failed. Luther, who once worked as a chef, said she has seen firsthand the struggles of immigrants who worked beside her.

Sanders “will not let it fall by the wayside,” she said. “It’s been so prevalent in ... his campaigns.”California was once a reliably Republican state in presidential elections, but a surge in

immigrants transformed the state and its voting patterns. The number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians combined has outnumbered whites in the state since 1998. Meanwhile, new voters, largely Latinos and Asians, lean Democratic.

The last Republican to carry the state in a presidential election was George H.W. Bush, in 1988.

Expected to join Sanders and Harris at the event are fellow Democratic contenders Julian Castro, a former Obama administration housing secretary, and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.

Businesses warn Trump of consequences of new

Mexican tariffsBY JILL COLVIN AND COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

Despite pushback from U.S. business, Mexico and Capitol Hill, President Donald Trump doubled down Friday on his threat to slap a 5% tariff on Mexican imports unless America’s southern neighbor cracks down on Central American migrants trying to cross the U.S. border.

U.S. manufacturers said the tariff, set to take effect June 10, would have devastating consequences on them and American consumers. U.S. stocks tumbled on Wall Street in response to Trump’s planned action.

“Imposing tariffs on goods from Mexico is exactly the wrong move,” said Neil Bradley, executive vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is exploring legal action in response to the tariffs. “These tariffs will be paid by American families and businesses without doing a thing to solve the very real problems at the border. Instead, Congress and the president need to work together to address the serious problems at the border.”

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador dispatched his foreign secretary to Washington to try to negotiate a solution. He said social problems are not solved with coercive measures, but also seemed convinced that Trump just needed to be informed about all the steps Mexico has taken to slow illegal migration.

Mexico has stepped up raids on migrant caravans traveling through the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca this year. It has deported thousands of migrants and frustrated thousands more who wait endlessly for permits that would allow them to travel legally through Mexico.

Administration officials told reporters in a briefing call Thursday evening that Mexico could prevent the tariffs from kicking in by securing its southern border with Guatemala, cracking down on criminal smuggling organizations, and entering into a “safe third country agreement” that would make it difficult for those who enter Mexico from other countries to claim asylum in the U.S.

“We fully believe they have the ability to stop people coming in from their southern border and if they’re able to do that, these tariffs will either not go into place or will be removed after they go into place,” said acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

Trump said the percentage will gradually increase — up to 25% — until the migration problem is remedied.

“Mexico has taken advantage of the United States for decades,” Trump said in a tweet. “Because of the Dems, our Immigration Laws are BAD. Mexico makes

a FORTUNE from the U.S., have for decades, they can easily fix this problem. Time for them to finally do what must be done!”

Trump’s decision showed the administration going to new lengths, and looking for new levers, to pressure Mexico to take action — even if those risk upending other policy priorities, like the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a trade deal that is the cornerstone of Trump’s legislative agenda and seen as beneficial to his reelection effort.

Keeping the economy rolling also is critical to Trump’s reelection, and business was not happy with the president’s planned tariff on Mexican imports.

“These proposed tariffs would have devastating consequences on manufacturers in America and on American consumers,” said Jay Timmons, chief executive officer of the National Association of Manufacturers. “We have taken our concerns to the highest levels of the administration and strongly urge them to consider carefully the impact of this action on working families across this country.”

The stock market’s tumble on Friday all but guarantees that May will be the first monthly loss for the market in 2019. The news hit automakers particularly hard. Many of them import vehicles into the U.S. from Mexico.

“The auto sector - and the 10 million jobs it supports - relies upon the North American supply chain and cross border commerce to remain globally competitive,” said the Auto Alliance, which represents automakers that built 70% of all cars and light trucks sold in U.S. “Any barrier to the flow of commerce across the U.S.-Mexico border will have a cascading effect — harming U.S. consumers, threatening American jobs and investment and curtailing economic progress.”

Some of Trump’s fellow Republicans in Congress opposed the tariff. Republican senators have made almost weekly treks to the White House to nudge the president off his trade wars, and this latest move sent them scrambling again to signal their displeasure in hopes of reversing Trump’s actions.

Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn supports the president’s commitment to securing the border, an aide said, but he opposes the across-the-board tariff, “which will disproportionately hurt Texas.”

Key trade senators also spoke up. Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, who has questioned the administration’s ability to invoke national security threats for some other imports, called the tariffs a

Feds to investigate spike in gray whale deaths on West Coast

GENE JOHNSON Associated Press

U.S. scientists said Friday they will investigate why an unusual number of gray whales are washing up dead on West Coast beaches.

About 70 whales have been found dead so far this year on the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska, the most since 2000. About five more have been discovered on British Columbia beaches. That’s a very small fraction of the total number of whales believed to have died, because most simply sink and others wash up in such remote areas they’re not recorded.

NOAA Fisheries on Friday declared the die-off an “unusual mortality event,” providing additional resources to respond to the deaths and triggering the investigation.

“Many of the whales have been skinny and malnourished, and that suggests they may not have gotten enough to eat during their last feeding season in the Arctic,” agency spokesman Michael Milstein told reporters during a conference call.

The eastern North Pacific gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994, after recovering from the whaling era.

The population has grown significantly in the last decade and is now estimated at 27,000 — the highest since surveys began in 1967. That has raised questions about whether their population has reached the limit of what the environment can sustain. Another theory suggests that the loss of Arctic sea ice due to global warming is a culprit.

The whales spend their summers feeding in the Arctic before migrating 10,000 miles (16,000 km) to winter off Mexico. Though they eat all along their route, they are typically thinning by the time they return north along the West Coast each spring.

They eat many things, but especially amphipods, tiny shrimp-like creatures that live in sediment on the ocean floor in the Arctic. For many years, researchers noted that more whales tended to die following years when the ice in the Chukchi Sea, north of the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia, was late to melt. The whales had less

time to feast because they couldn’t access the feeding area, and thus had less blubber to sustain them on their next migration.

In 2018, though, the Arctic was warm. The whales weren’t blocked from the feeding area, and yet they’re still dying in unusual numbers this spring. That has scientists wondering if the loss of sea ice has led to a loss of algae that feed the amphipods. Surveys show the amphipod beds moving farther north, said Sue Moore, a biological oceanographer at the University of Washington.

“The sea ice has been changing very quickly over the last decade or so,” she said. “The whales may have to shift to other prey, such as krill or other things they eat.”

In an average year, about 35 whales wash up in the U.S.

In 2000, more than 100 did, prompting NOAA to declare an “unusual mortality event” then as well. The resulting investigation failed to identify a cause. The die-off followed strong changes in ocean conditions in the mid-1990s, suggesting that warmer water patterns affected the availability of prey, but scientists were often unable to perform necropsies, Moore said.

“It’s sometimes very difficult to get to these whales in a timely fashion,” she said. “You can’t always get the kind of samples you would need for diagnostic reasons.”

Since then, researchers have built up an improved network of volunteers and have better educated the public to help report and respond to whale deaths, said Deborah Fauquier, veterinary medical officer at NOAA’s Office of Protected Resources. This time, scientists have been able to perform necropsies on 20 of the whales, she said.

John Calambokidis, a research biologist with the Cascadia Research Collective, noted that as the whales search farther afield for food, they’ve entered areas where they’re not normally seen so often, including San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound. That puts them at higher risk of being struck by ships or entangled in fishing gear.

Four of the 10 gray whales found dead near San Francisco this year were struck by ships, and a number of shipping companies have slowed their vessels in the area to avoid collisions.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS



Metro has since grown the number of its C3 homeless outreach teams from two to eight teams systemwide. These teams operate seven days a week on Metro Rail, Metro Buses and at Los Angeles Union Station. They help find temporary or permanent housing services for interested homeless individuals who have taken to Metro’s system and properties for shelter.

“As a result of LA County’s Homeless Initiative, over the last 18 months more than 27,000 people have been placed in permanent homes, while tens of thousands of others have been set on a path from homelessness to housing,” said L.A. County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair Sheila Kuehl. “Metro has been part of this tremendous effort. Our contract with the Department of Health Services allows outreach workers to engage men and women experiencing homelessness on our buses and rail lines and link them to much-needed services.”

Since officially beginning an outreach pilot program in 2017, Metro’s C3 teams have made significant progress, contacting nearly 4,800 homeless individuals. Nearly 1,200 of those individuals have been linked to permanent housing solutions, with a total of 88 homeless persons permanently housed.

“Metro is committed to operating a safe and high-quality environment for all our transit customers, but our commitment doesn’t stop there,” said Metro CEO Phillip A. Washington. “We are acting in a socially responsible and caring manner by connecting the homeless with critically needed services and resources that our county has to offer.”

Metro’s Manager of Special Projects, Jennifer

Loew said the efforts are driven by economics and ethics.

She said Metro’s open user philosophy can be jarring to residents who are otherwise able to insulate themselves from the scope of the homelessness crisis.

“It’s really a microcosm of society at large,” she said. “People have a tendency, because people in cars able to experience the community in whatever fashion they chose, to not perceive the problem. When you get onto a transit agency or in a public space, that perception changes. Our ridership is confronted with the reality of Los Angeles County when they are on our system.”

That reality can be shocking for individuals who don’t grasp the severity of the homelessness crisis.

“Rooted in mobility is the ridership experience, that it be a positive experience, that people feel safe and (homelessness) goes to whether or not that rider experience is positive,” she said. “I think that sometimes what ends up happening is if a homeless person has valid fare or not, riders see a dramatic social issue and assume that Metro isn’t safe.”

She said anyone, regardless of housing, has a right to use Metro if they pay the fare but some riders are using the system for reasons other than transit. Metro trains and buses are safe, clean and provide shelter from the elements.

“It’s certainly safer than hanging out on skid row,” she said. “It’s clean, people are there to watch you. It has all these amazing qualities that are attractive and we understand that.”

She said that by providing access to services through the C3 teams, Metro is connecting homeless riders to organizations that can help them find permanent, secure housing that replicates the attractive qualities of a bus or

train.Metro has chosen to pursue a services

strategy rather than some kind of enforcement option because Loew said it was the humane thing to do.

While the organization has effectively doubled its law enforcement operations since 2017, she said criminalizing people for being homeless does little to solve the problem and victimizes already vulnerable individuals.

“Our ridership matters to us and we would not be of good conscious to ignore the social complexity on our system … we can’t ignore it, you have to address it head on,” she said.

In addition to the expansion of outreach, Metro is also working with service providers to create new shelters that can be accessible 24-hours a day, just like the trains and buses.

“We are looking at employing a partnership with local homeless shelters and services to have a network that’s near transit,” she said.

Santa Monica’s Senior Adviser on homelessness, Alisa Orduna, said the Metro programs have an impact locally.

She said anytime someone is added to the County’s system, it makes it easier for other agencies to provide aid to that person because they will have access to their case details and the coordination can allow agencies in different geographies to find the best fit for the needs of the individual.

“There may be a person we see in the day that sleeps on the bus at night or is sleeping on the beach and riding the train in the day,” she said.

She said offering more services in more places ultimately keeps more people off the streets and by expanding help on the transit lines it can reduce the burden on cities who

become the end points of a transit ride.“It’s a good example of homelessness just

being beyond local government responses or social service responses,” she said. “They are a transportation organization and an example of recognizing the crisis and need everyone to be on board.”

Locally, Santa Monica has C3 teams in addition to other outreach services. The C3 teams are geographically focused and reach out to any individual within their territory to provide aid such as resources on housing, basic medical help and a point of contact for other agencies that might have worked with that individual.

The City also has a Multidisciplinary Street Team (MST) and local law enforcement agencies have specialized homeless outreach teams.

The MST focuses on specific individuals that have been identified as heavy users of services such as ER trips or police intervention. The team provides deeper, repeated contact with less than 30 people to try to cater to their specific needs while transitioning them into the system.

SMPD’s Homeless Liaison Program team also connects homeless individuals with local service providers through proactive patrols and contacts with homeless individuals.

While Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus doesn’t have a dedicated team patrolling its buses, bus drivers can contact the HLP, or its equivalent from another jurisdiction, when they feel it’s needed. Orduna said the city recently implemented a system to track how many BBB police incidents involved homelessness and found that only two percent were connected to a homeless individual.

“blanket tax increase” on items Americans purchases from Mexico and “the wrong remedy.”

The tariff threat comes at a peculiar time, given how hard the administration has been pushing for passage of the USMCA, which would update the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, a usual Trump ally and the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, slammed the president’s action, saying it was a “misuse

of presidential tariff authority” that would burden American consumers and “seriously jeopardize passage of USMCA.”

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said the livelihoods of farmers and producers from her state are at risk and so is the USMCA.

“If the president goes through with this, I’m afraid progress to get this trade agreement across the finish line will be stifled,” she said.

Associated Press writer Lisa Mascaro, Kevin Freking and Paul Wiseman in Washington and Maria Verza in Mexico City contributed to this report.

“The dire impacts of single-use plastic on our oceans, marine life, the broader environment and human health are too powerful to ignore,” Allen said. “And local cities are forced to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on waste management and cleanup that should be spent on other essential services.”

Santa Monica has already banned disposable food packaging, prohibiting plastic utensils,

plates and containers, among other plastic, bio-plastic and aluminum packaging. Businesses must serve food in containers made marine-degradable paper, fiber or wood, although they can use plastic cups and cup lids until 2020 because marine-degradable versions are not yet available.

The ban went into effect Jan. 1 and is meant to protect Santa Monica Bay from plastic pollution and reduce landfilled waste in accordance with the City’s goal to achieve zero waste by 2030.

The California Grocers Association (CGA),

a non-profit, statewide trade association that represents over 300 retail members in California and Nevada and 150 grocery supplier companies, opposed Santa Monica’s disposable food packaging ban, contending that usable marine degradable packaging did not yet exist. But CGA’s government affairs director, Aaron Moreno, said the association has been working with Allen to craft SB 54.

Moreno said Allen’s staff has been responsive to the association’s concerns about the differing needs of grocers and restaurants. While

restaurants can more readily use biodegradable packaging, grocers need packaging that preserves food safety and shelf life for a much longer period of time, he said.

“We’re looking forward to continuing working with the authors on this measure,” Moreno said. “They get why we need what we need. We’re not trying to get out of anything.”

SB 54 and AB 1080 will now proceed to the opposite house for consideration.

month with activities such as ROGA (a portmanteau of “run” and “yoga”) and an inclusivity-themed children’s story time.

Negin Singh, Executive Director of the Santa Monica Pier Corporation says the LGBT-inclusive programming has been a long time coming.

“A lot of our neighboring cities have had Pride events and a lot of them since the first Pride,” Singh said. “We are a city that sees such diversity and prides itself on being so inclusive. The time is long overdue to put our stake in the ground and say we welcome and celebrate the LGBT community that live in and visit here.”

If you think the Pier’s Pride events look a little similar to Summer programming of previous years, you’d be correct and that’s by design.

Singh says her team reached out for community feedback and discovered that many LGBTQIA residents wanted to be integrated into events that already existed as opposed to having something separate.

“We discovered the community wanted to highlight activists and people in their community instead of something wholly different,” Singh said.

“We’ve come to a place in LA where most people are fine with the gay community but may not interact with or put themselves in places where they celebrate the community. So our ethos is taking these events we know have followings and bring LGBT people and sponsors to where people are. It’s an integration effort.”

The Pier’s Pride events are lowkey and that, too, is by design. Singh says the events are complementary programming to other celebrations one may find within LA, giving families the opportunity to have a lowkey celebration throughout the month with or without other Pride

celebrations.“We’ve heard from the community

that there’s not enough geared towards families,” Singh said.

“Pride has traditionally been a party-based celebration and for good reason— that celebratory mood is a necessity for the community. But [Pier events] are for people looking for a different celebration, who want something less loud with their kids. We’re not in competition with other LA Pride events, we just want to give another option.”

When asked why previous years haven’t had Pride events, Singh joked she wasn’t here those years. This year, all city departments were in lockstep on wanting to celebrate.

The idea came about when Singh saw rainbow-colored lights in the Promenade. The colors reminded her of the Pride flag and she immediately reached out to Downtown Santa Monica to see what they could do for Pride. The conversation had a domino effect, bringing in Santa Monica Place and the City.

Singh says the Pier and other organizations involved will see how this year goes before deciding on future programming but noted that Pride will have a presence in the city moving forward.

For now, however, Singh is just happy to help bring Pride to the Pier.

“It’s always been on people’s minds,” she said. “It’s not about who has the idea but how we put it together. All of our departments are all working strong right now and we knew if we put it together it wouldn’t just be a fizzle but really move the needle. We all want to build something bigger, something to be proud of.”

Zack Hill By JOHN DEERING & JOHN NEWCOMBE

Agnes By TONY COCHRAN

Strange Brew By JOHN DEERINGHeathcliff By PETER GALLAGHER

Dogs of C-Kennel By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HARTThe Taurus moon of appetites is emboldened by Venus, as if we needed more reason to indulge. Though generally propelled by a strong sense of duty and loyalty, your own pleasurable interests will, at some point, shove their way to front-of-mind. As Orson Welles said: “Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.”

Appetite Moon Activated

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To love you is to under-stand what’s important to you. You shouldn’t have to teach this too many times or enforce the les-son with a million examples. This is part of love’s package.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Anxieties aren’t discov-ered; they’re invented. Your mind and body comes up with a response geared toward keeping you safe and then can dissemble this response, too, if it’s inappropriate or unwanted by the whole of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s wonderful to learn about new people, look at lovely things, vicariously live through an excellent story. These delights and more will be among today’s offerings.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The muse is with you. You don’t have to seek the inspiration. You’re in a different stage now, creativity ready to spill out, ideas and efforts flowing forth; all you have to do is let it happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The push to get things done can be annoying — or even frightening. In the final moments of a deadline, it’s as if there’s an authority figure inside you using an unnecessarily harsh tone or method. Take a breath. Ease up. You got this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Communicating can be scary, and rightfully so. There could be any num-ber of ramifications including social, professional, emotional, maybe even legal. You’re right to be thoughtful in this regard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As an aesthetic being, if you’re not taking in enough lovely things in a day, you’re not in your optimal mood. Go where the beauty is. Seek it out. Revel in it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just because there was a time when pain was required to make something happen doesn’t mean that pain is now or will always be a part of the process. Look for a pain-free route.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To be an outsider is a gift. Enjoy it while it lasts. You’ll get an overview of how the group works and a sense of what might be in it for you. This is a perspective you’ll no longer have once you get inside.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your true friends are the ones who will band together with you to complete a job. Of course, they have to know about it first. Share what you’re up to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re very good at understanding others. To outline what anoth-er person wants to, but is unable to, articulate is a gift that takes great empathetic talent to deliver.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Remember when you had the world summed up? You were on top of the game. You knew where you were going and how to get there. Oh foolish confidence! Your reality has acquired new depths since then.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 1)

You’re really not trying make a statement or set an example, but these are the outcroppings of a life lived on purpose. There’s a windfall in September. More highlights: a loved one’s breakthrough (which couldn’t have happened without you) and an event you throw that unites people and affects destiny. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 4, 44, 28 and 13.

Persiflagenoun [pur-suh-flahzh, pair-]light, bantering talk or writing.

WORD UP!

“I’m a Capricorn who experiences feelings of despair on a regular basis. I feel I’ve let myself down in so many ways. I almost never mention my feelings to anyone because I think they would judge me harshly. First of all, I have no right to be depressed. I have a decent career and a loving family. Sure, I’m stressed about money, but so are a lot of people. It’s as though I expect everything I touch to turn to gold, and when it doesn’t, I feel like a failure.”

Capricorns can be the classic overachievers. You expect yourself to be a certain way, to have particular aptitudes and project an image of strength and grace. It’s an idealized version of yourself, and yet there are many times when you’re able to hit the mark. But when you can’t, just go easy on yourself. Practice internal kindness and tolerance. You’re still human. And to be human is to be flawed. You don’t have to see those flaws as ugly. Ultimately, your ability to attract other humans is based in those weaknesses. We are brought together in our common frailty.
