They have a list of gluten free favors on the far wall next to the cash register. I like salted caramel with hot pecan loaded caramel topping.
1651 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89012
Has always been a favorite of mine. Just went there for the first time since going gluten-free, and when I asked which kinds were gf, they brought out a list of flavors I couldn't have. Great texture!
2849 N Power Rd, Mesa, AZ 85215
Most all of their yogurts are gluten free with the exception of those made with malt or flavors based on cake. Yummy!
8680 W Warm Springs Rd #110, Las Vegas, NV 89113
I've never had any gluten reactions here having stuck with toppings like marshmallow, fudge, almonds, or peanuts. Can't speak for other toppings but so far so good.
2642 Del Mar Heights Rd, Del Mar, CA 92014
Just stay away from anything that has cake, cookie, or batter in the title and you'll be good...
1902 N Campus Ave, Upland, CA 91784
We went in tonight to try golden spoon for the first time and were told that at this time they only have one flavor that was gluten free.
7170 N Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89149
Usually they keep a glue free list posted on site plus they will let you bring a gluten free cone in & they will fill it with your choice of frozen yogurt!
2642 Del Mar Heights Rd, Del Mar, CA 92014
Just stay away from yogurt that has cake or cookie in title and you'll be fine. Lots of different GF topping too
8915 Atlanta Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92646
Creamy yummy yogurt. Too sweet for my husband but perfect for me. It is like soft serve ;) some staff knows what is up GF, some don't. Stick to obvious flavors...not cake batter, graham cracker, or cookies and cream
9640 Mission Gorge Rd, Santee, CA 92071
I went to the one the one in Dana Point. They took the stand that all their products MAY have gluten, they would not guarentee anything, so it was best if we did not order anything. We had to leave. They are lazy and uncaring. They sucked big time, I'll never go back.
101 W Imperial Hwy, Brea, CA 92821
I love Golden Spoon and now that I have to go gluten free, I love it even more! plus this location gives double stamps on TUESDAY! score!
3350 Yorba Linda Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92831
every one is super nice and I love the yogurt... especially now that I have to go gluten free!
8261 La Palma Ave, Buena Park, CA 90620
love Golden Spoon!! and now that I have to go gluten free I love it even more!
7170 N Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89149
There are only a couple yogurts that have gluten. Check their website for the three that contain it.
9397 E Shea Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260

I admire mechanical engineers. I really mean it. If the world ever implodes, then I want to be hanging out with you guys. You know how to build and fix things. I on the other hand can probably contribute to the betterment of future society by picking berries (so long as I don't have to deal with any creepy crawlies) or by spreading good cheer – I can't help it I've got a sunny disposition (that is after 9 AM). Yup, that's about as helpful as I'll be in say a zombie apocalypse.
Anyway, I've learned a lot from you guys. So I thought it would be fun to talk about that today. The top 10 things I learned from y'all.
10. Anything and everything mechanical is fascinating. By now you know that I drive a convertible. On the few days of the year when the weather is nice enough to drive with the car top down in England, I usually get an audience when it's time to put the top up or down. The guys marvel at the mechanics of the roof rising at the touch of a button and talk about all the systems moving the roof. I admit in the past I never paid much attention to such things. I just took them for granted until the day they didn't work. Now, thanks to you I am more curious. I look at all things electronic and wonder if FloTHERM was used at some point to ensure effective cooling.
9. Choose your words carefully. You are very precise with your language. It took me a while to learn this but I finally realized that I needed to pick my words carefully in order to communicate effectively with you. Case in point. I usually ask for extra ice in my coke glass whenever I order a drink – it's an American habit that is hard to break in the land of little or no ice cubes. I also always wrap my glass in a napkin. After the first month or so of tagging along with the guys to lunch, one of them asked me why I always wrap-up my glass. I said "the glass sweats and becomes slippery so this way I'm not likely to drop the glass". After considering my answer for a moment, the engineer said I think the word you're looking for is condensation. And the whole table started discussing this at length. At that moment I realized that I needed to pick my words more carefully. Months later, we were working on a presentation for a press tour. One slide just kept getting flagged by the review team as being wrong. After asking a series of questions I realized that the problem wasn't with the whole slide but with just one word – I think the problematic word was "cause" so we changed it to "contribute" and all was fine. Someone complained that the team was being pedantic but I knew that they weren't trying to be difficult. They were just being factually accurate. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
8. When taking an engineer out on a sales call, be prepared to have them tell the truth –warts and all. In sales the golden rule is to never say no. If someone asks you about some functionality which your software doesn't have, you just keep asking questions to find out whether that feature is important to the sale or whether it is a "nice to have". Engineers on the other hand don't have any problems with saying no. I think that's probably why engineers feel comfortable buying stuff from other engineers. It's because they know they're getting a straight answer.
7. Engineers test you. When engineers meet you, they always ask you a question to gauge your technical level. They're not being difficult … they are just trying to see where you fit on the technical spectrum so they'd know how to answer you. I learned this the hard way because I now know enough about things to be dangerous. So now whenever I meet an engineer I always start the conversation with "I am not an engineer". In response I usually get a smile and detailed explanations that even I can understand. We both walk away happy having communicated effectively.
6. There is always room for improvement. By nature engineers like to tinker with things because there is always room for improvement. Sometimes I feel like a 5 year-old kid who keeps repeating "are we there yet?" when working on a presentation or a brochure. So I have learned to be patient because invariably the end product is always better.
5. My definition of a cool picture is different than yours. Another thing that I admire about engineers is that you are practical and "smoke and mirrors" don't really hold much value for you. When you look at simulation results, you are perfectly happy looking at the basic plot lines and charts. I on the other hand need to communicate with managers who like pretty pictures and colors. So my definition of a cool picture is probably way different than yours. That's why some of the guys in our building run the other way when they see me trolling the hallways looking for a volunteer to do a couple of screen grabs. But the handful who still brave the elements do turn out some brilliant images (yeah, you know who you are and to you I am eternally grateful).
4. Engineers are nice people. Just so that we are clear, when I say "nice" I am using the American definition which is "pleasant, agreeable, and delightful". By nature most engineers are introverts so as an extrovert it would be really easy to just roll on by. But I tell you, as a group, engineers are the nicest bunch of folks I have ever met. That's why whenever I meet one I make sure to get to know them well. And in this world, you can never have enough nice people around you.
3. Physical testing is expensive. I've been in the simulation market for more years than I dare to admit out loud. However, I am still astounded at how much companies spend on physical testing. I heard that Bentley crash tests hundreds of cars every year. Gulp. That is a lot of money (not to mention lovely cars being destroyed) in the name of safety. But then again, if I ever could afford to buy one of those bad boys, I'd want to know that I'd be safe.
2. Not doing physical tests can be even more expensive. Funny… you didn't expect me a simulation-junkie to say this but it's true. Sometimes you do need to do physical tests. For example, a new customer decided to invest in our T3Ster product for thermal characterization testing because their largest customer told them that their product specs were not worth the paper they were printed on. Ouch! It's a good thing their customer told them _before_ they decided to take their business elsewhere.
1. Simulation is meaningful. I remember the very first whitepaper I ever read on the topic of simulation. The subject was about meshing and it was during an interview. I read the opening paragraph a couple of times before admitting defeat. At that point, the CEO of the company (who also happened to be a respected engineering professor) gave me a quick lecture on what it all meant and before I knew it I was a part of this fascinating world. Since then I've learned a lot about engineering. I also know that some still believe that simulation is hocus pocus. But I am a believer especially when I hear from experienced engineers who say that simulation gives them new insight into the performance of their products. One of my favorite engineers, Mr. Guus Bertels with Bronswerk Heat Transfer, has an extensive background in the field of aerodynamics. Mr. Bertels was involved in the design of one of the most beautiful flying machines, the Concord, so you would be right to think that he has seen it all but even he has this to say about simulation: "The information generated by FloEFD especially for the taxing complexity of cooler aerodynamics is far beyond data obtainable through physical measurement and experimentation".
So thank you engineers everywhere! You have made this a better world for the rest of us and thank you for letting me be a part of your world.
Until next time,

There's a whole flow chart of professional angst leading to today's drink, starting with this week's edition of "The Tipsy Diaries," a cocktail-centric column penned for the New York Times by its restaurant critic emeritus, Frank Bruni. Bruni's restaurant-writing tenure — or I should say tenor; Bruni never refused the gooey puns that roiled forth from his brain, just as he couldn't seem to wrestle the keyboard away from his occasional alter ego, Frannie Von Furstinshow — had its critics, some insidiously scathing in their put-downs.
Much of the disdain stemmed from the fact that Bruni had no professional food-writing background. But neither did I when I started writing restaurant reviews in St. Louis, so the worst I can say about him is 1) he went to UNC; 2) I am not him. And in order to become him, of course, I must destroy him.
Hence when I picked up this week's Tipsy Diaries, "Celestial Come-Ons and Other Booze-Selling Ploys," and read his lede, which picked on the preciousness of a particular whiskey's name, Angel's Envy, and its packaging (voluptuous bottle, winged logo) without mentioning how the name's a play on the phrase "angel's share," which is what whiskey makers call the portion of their potions that evaporate during aging (hence, the remainder we mortals get to enjoy would be "angel's envy")… well, don't think I wasn't one click away from zipping off quite the haughty letter to the editor.
Lucky for me and my interest in face-saving, I read through the end, where he does get around to explaining the connection. My next step was to attempt to sublimate my percolating agita jealousy self-doubt Bruni's-envy into writing the most amazing whiskey cocktail recipe that ever ruled the land!!!
That also didn't happen, because I couldn't figure out how to add a tincture of pure liquid awesomeness to a shot of Blanton's Gold (the best whiskey we keep on hand chez Martelorre). I went looking for inspiration in one of my tomes, Bourbon At Its Best, which happens to have been written by a friend's brother-in-law (percolations rising) and where I found the elegantly simple tipple I needed to just shut me up and get some liquid anti-anxiety medication into me.
This cocktail keeps the syrupy pungency of the cassis in the background, a nice, now-for-something-completely-different pedestal on which to enjoy the bourbon's woodsy warmth.
The Cassis Cocktail
(Adapted from Bourbon At Its Best, by Ron Givens)
2 ounces Jim Beam Black bourbon
1 ounce Cinzano dry vermouth
2 teaspoons creme de cassis
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker or an ice-filled mixing glass. Shake/stir well for about 10 seconds. Strain into cocktail glass.
Tasting Notes:
We're running low on bourbons around here (*gasp!) and it was either Jim Beam Black or Maker's Mark. I was worried the latter combined with creme de cassis would result in something too sweet, so Jim Beam Black it was. I must say, though I'm not a fan of regular Jim Beam, Jim Beam Black and Jim Beam Rye are both highly respectable.
Yes, I realized as I was shaking this, I probably should've stirred, as you're supposed to do with all-liquor drinks. What can I say, I had some pent-up energy to get out. Plus, you'll see in the second picture those miniature ice floes you get when you shake really vigorously. Love those!

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung condition that affects newborn babies who were either put on a breathing machine after birth or were born very early (prematurely).
BPD; Chronic lung disease - children; CLD - children
BPD occurs in very ill infants who received high levels of oxygen for a long period. BPD can also occur in infants who were on a breathing machine (ventilator ).
BPD is more common in infants born early (prematurely), whose lungs were not fully developed at birth.
Risk factors include:
Risk of severe BPD has decreased in recent years.
Infants who have breathing problems are often put on a ventilator. This is a breathing machine that sends pressure to the baby's lungs to keep them inflated and to deliver more oxygen. As the baby's lungs develop, the pressure and oxygen are slowly reduced. The baby is weaned from the ventilator. The baby may continue to get oxygen by a mask or nasal tube for several weeks or months.
Infants with BPD are usually fed by tubes inserted into the stomach (NG tube) . These babies need extra calories due to the effort of breathing. To keep their lungs from filling with fluid, their fluid intake may need to be limited. And they may be given medicines that remove water from the body (diuretics). Other medicines can include corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and surfactant.
Parents of these infants need emotional support. This is because BPD takes time to get better and the infant may need to stay in the hospital for a long time.
Infants with BPD may need oxygen therapy for weeks to months after leaving the hospital. Follow your health care provider's instructions to ensure your baby gets enough nutrition during recovery. Your baby may need tube feedings or special formulas.
It is very important to prevent your baby from getting colds and other respiratory infections, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV can cause a severe lung infection, especially in a baby with BPD.
A simple way to help prevent RSV infection is to wash your hands often. Follow these measures:
Parents of babies with BPD should avoid crowds during outbreaks of RSV. Outbreaks are often reported by local news media.
Your baby's health care provider may prescribe the medicine palivizumab (Synagis) to prevent RSV infection in your baby. Follow instructions on how to give your baby this medicine.
Babies with BPD get better slowly over time. Oxygen therapy may be needed for many months. Some infants have long-term lung damage and require oxygen and breathing support. Some infants with this condition might not survive.
Babies who have had BPD are at greater risk of repeated respiratory infections, such as pneumonia , bronchiolitis , and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that require a hospital stay.
Other possible complications in babies who have had BPD are:
If your baby had BPD, watch for any breathing problems . Call your health care provider if you see any signs of a respiratory infection.

Product Details
- Thermal Scorched for fast break-in
- Positive mold technology
- Low dust formulation
- Shims made with dual rubber layers over constrained steel to eliminate noise
- Asbestos-free
- 2-year/24,000 mile manufacturer limited warranty on the rotors and pads being sold separately
The true ceramic formula also generates far less ugly brake dust on your wheels, and wears less cast iron off your rotors. Every set of pads is supplied with Power Stop's engineered dual-rubber-backed shims, which provide 6 times the noise reduction of the OEM plain steel shims. With 20% more stopping power, these are the pads to choose for everyday use. They're manufactured to OEM standards, with all the proper slots and chamfers for a perfect fit and long life.
Here's another Power Stop exclusive: Thermal Scorching. When brake pads are properly broken in, there's a band of pad material several millimeters thick that's been baked free of organic binders. That band progresses through the pad as it wears, keeping the gummy binders from transferring to the rotor surface and reducing brake effectiveness. Power Stop Z16 pads are treated with their Thermal Scorching process to establish that band before the pads ever leave the factory. That means a fast, consistent bedding-in.
Power Stop also uses the best technology for anti-squeal shims: constrained steel. A sandwich of two layers of steel with a viscoelastic layer between them prevents acoustic coupling between the pad and caliper piston, eliminating brake squeal. Other manufacturers attempt to use a single layer of steel or a layer of Teflon to achieve this. Power Stop's solution, while pricier, is far more effective.
40.36Brand: PowerStop Part Number: 16-929 UPC: 792088484604 This part is compatible with 48 vehicle(s)Founded in 1997 in Southern California, PowerStop began with the goal of bringing the benefits of superior brake components at a reasonable cost to amateur racing and backyard performance enthusiasts everywhere. Company management and engineers believed then, as they do today, that better brakes make driving more enjoyable and safer for any vehicle, terrain, and driving style – not just racing. They developed a philosophy that while brake components cannot be superior without the most advanced materials, they also cannot perform in a superior fashion without matching the exact tolerances of each and every individual vehicle they are created for. Relentless development and testing led to brake pads, rotors, drum shoes, and other related components that delivered uncompromising fit and operation, and Power Stop's customer base grew exponentially from positive word of mouth. The company still has its original passion for creating the best products at the best possible prices, so when it comes to replacement brake components for your vehicle, Power Stop is the only name you need to know.

Padron Serie 1926 40th Anniversary Torpedo Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 10 reviews
This is one good smoke. I give it a 92 all around! At least i tried. The rating bar goes from 90 to 100.
Joe in Fort Worth, Texas December 10, 2013
"What s there to say?!"
For me, the 40th maduro is my all-time favorite cigar with the 40th natural in extremely close 2nd. The rest of the 1926 line is also stellar. And yes, I ve had plenty of genuine Cubans and many premium non-Cubans. The 1926 40th is the best cigar on the planet. End of discussion.
A in Allentown November 17, 2013
"If money were no object..."
This is all I would ever smoke. This was Cigar Aficionado's 2004 cigar of the year and for good reason. It is pricey, but you get your money's worth.
Scott in Virginia July 16, 2012
"Best Cigar Ever Made!!!"
This cigar sets the bar for all full bodied high end smokes on the market today. I have sampled all of the best from Cuban Cohiba Esplendido to God of Fire to Opus X to Ashton VSG and ESG - there is no other cigar on earth that matches the Padron 1926 Maduro - and the 40th Anniversary is the crown achievement. Opens up with a strong taste of coffee, earth and chocolate. As the smoke evolves you can't believe that a cigar this strong has such a balanced flavor and aroma. The construction is unparalleled and the burn is flawless. I love this stick... only wish I had more special occasions!
Adam in Valley Cottage November 26, 2011
"Simply Wonderful"
Its a great cigar. Very smooth. Great draw and consistency.
Mark in Maryland March 21, 2009
"good, but not great"
This cigar was good, but not great. I was pleased with the burn, flavor and taste until I got to the last third of the cigar. It became harsh and had to be relit. I was disappointed to say the least, especially based on the rave reviews.
Bob in Nazareth, PA January 22, 2009
"Both bright and deep flavors, exceedingly good"
I've enjoyed a bunch of the 1926 Padron line of cigars for their deep, rich flavor, construction that reminds you what the word 'craftsmanship' means, and overall smoking experience. What makes the 40th Anniversary a very special cigar is that it has all of these qualities but there's a "brightness" in the flavor. Smoking these makes me feel like the sun is shining (which it isn't, since it is winter here in Alaska!). Another winning characteristic is the evolving, multi-layered flavor -- no stranger to the 26 line, for sure, but even more pronounced here. Who should try this cigar? Someone who is looking for a medium-to-full bodied cigar, a contemplative smoking experience, and a cigar that has all the dark-earthy-deep credentials of its siblings but a bright counterpoint that is unusual and very, very desireable.
upNorth in Fairbanks, Alaska February 3, 2008
"Exquisite Cigar"
I cringed and closed my eyes when clicking on the buy button that sucked 25 bucks out of my Amex account for this stick, solely on the advice of other reviewers. While I'm not about to spend that kind of money every week, or even every month, the cigar was the best I've smoked and I have no regrets.
The flavor, as has been described here, is rich and, for the most part, chocolaty. Undertones of cedar and spice. Very full flavored, without in the least overpowering or harsh. Super construction: firm as a tree trunk but perfect draw. Perfectly even burn with an inch and a half of smooth, unflakey, ash. Very slow burning: got an hour and a half out of this beauty with plenty of cigar left at the end. But the best part: that flavor. Absolutely delicious. Just be sure you smoke it when you can fully concentrate on that taste and have the time to savor it.
PJ in South Florida December 6, 2007
"Best cigar, bar none, Cuban or otherwise"
Perfect cigar! Deep rich earthy chocolate/coffee flavors, perfect construction, perfect burn, long white ash, worth peeling the ring off to smoke it nearly to the nub. I've heard the hype on many cigars and been disappointed. I've smoked Cubans, AF Anejos, and many are good. This is the best deep flavored cigar I've ever smoked.
Overworked in LA February 3, 2007
"What a cigar!"
I am stationed in Germany and have access to all the Cuban Romeo Y Julieta, Montecristo and Cohiba's I want. This Padron 40th Anniversary 1926 is the best cigar I have ever smoked! Because of the cost, I was expecting a great stick, but almost hoping it would not be good enough to make me want more. No such luck. If I had the money, my humidor would be full of them. Love the Cubans, but this Padron is number 1 in my book.
Stu Gregory in Germany August 24, 2005

"I may never retire, but at least I've been semi-retired my whole life." Paul Elder is one of the elite few who has made a life out of doing what he loves. And what Paul loves is art. Paul is an exceptional painter and free hand artist that is inspired by the life that surrounds him: surfing, traveling, and fishing - his passion for these activities is undeniable in his work. You have probably seen Paul's work several times and have never even realized it. If you are a fan of Rusty Surfboards you have definitely seen his work as Paul designed several of our board icons over the years including the Piranha, the Desert Island, the Predator, the Toad, the Cat Fish, and the Slayer.
The Ballast Point Brewery artwork is also the brain child of Elder, everything from beer bottle labels to tap handles, he free handed them all. Some other notable clients of Elder's includes: Bloody Decks, Bulky Boy, H&M Landing, and a handful of other small local businesses...
Paul has a secluded art studio where he does a lot of his work and the quaint retreat is riddled with colorful masterpieces. Upon entering Paul's studio it quickly becomes apparent that he loves what he does. In addition to the stunning finished products gracing the walls, there are other works in progress and tid bits of inspiration scattered about. Photos from an old Baja camping trip are tacked to the wall. Concept sketches are lying here and there. Dried paint in a plethora of colors line the edge of his easel. Everywhere you look there is art.
Do not be fooled though. Paul is not just an artist playing the role of the fly on the wall and portraying what he sees, he is a very active participant in the arenas that inspire his artwork the most. As an avid surfer, fisherman, and a long time traveler, Paul has built his life around his lifestyle. Paul has spent time in Indonesia, El Salvador, and Mexico and Thailand, where he spent his formative years in elementary and middle school. The nature of being an artist allows him to create his own schedule, leaving plenty of room for fishing and surfing trips. Also, being the hands on kind of guy that he his, he will often dabble in the construction process of his gear. For example, he made his very impressive spear fishing gun from scratch - not an easy feat to accomplish. Once again, to prove that he is not just an artist and a craftsman, Paul graciously opened his freezer to share a plentiful helping of fresh white sea bass that he caught himself the day prior.
What a life? Travel, surf, fish... and then paint it. Perhaps he should be a teacher too, because we should all be taking notes.

Cory Booker
Newark, N.J., Mayor and U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker had his Twitter dalliances with a Portland stripper exposed by Buzzfeed, with their privates tweets published for the world to see. But the "scandal" is merely titillation by association. There's no evidence that Booker, who is single, ever tried to take their relationship beyond the tweets. And Booker's team has taken the news in stride. "The only mildly surprising thing about this story is the news that there's a vegan strip club in Portland," his campaign said.

This week, Mercury stations direct (Tuesday) and the Sun opposes Pluto (Thursday/Friday). In short, it's a week to pause as much as possible and keep our obsessive behaviors in check.
Aries & Aries Rising
Perhaps we can learn to trust the set up, like completely trust that the stage has been set in the most appropriate way possible for us in this moment. We can relax into the lesson.
And then amnesia sets in.
This is how it goes with you this week. Moments of absolute embrace merged with the urge to take it all back and control every actor on the stage. But hear me when I say this: trust the mother f-ing process. And when I say "mother", I mean it. Mother is the origin, the place we come from, the gateway from which we emerge.
You are re-emerging.
But you can't experience the rebirth if you refuse to let the process happen. Stop clinging to the past. It's over. There is no energy there, but there is life here and now -- a tremendous amount of life, and it awaits you, patiently.
Move your mind to the present. Motivate yourself to clear out the wreckage of your past. Forgive yourself for all the ways that you thought you were an imperfect child. Forgive your parents for being imperfect elders. Clean out the mental debris that rattles around distracting you from the plot line. Get down to what really matters. The rest is just jackass trickster hijinks.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
There may be no way to avoid it. There may be no way to control yourself around it. There may be no way to keep silent about it. There may be no way to keep yourself from obsessing your ass off about it.
So this is what I suggest: have people, groups and contained spaces where you can process. Places where there are solid agreements and sturdy containers to work through all your meshugas.
Your mind may not be your friend this week. But you can find other friends. Therapy is a good friend. Meditation is a good friend. Art practice is a good friend. Dedicating your time and energy into your creative pursuits is a way to divert these extreme feelings so that the experience can serve you instead of just dismantling everything.
Financial situations may start to sort themselves out in the coming weeks, but more likely so will your self-esteem. Whatever blow you've had in this department, it looks like things will start to right themselves where they felt so wrong.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
I suggest that you get in the center, like in the center of the center of this storm. In the eye of the hurricane everything is calm -- so get some calm. It will do you no good to get all whipped up over little nothings. It will do you no good to get flustered, worried or easily ruffled. That's not where the money is.
Listen, let me lay this down for you; not every sign will get to experience their ruling planet in their sign turn retrograde or even directly in their lifetimes. Maybe I'm jealous. Maybe. Why, you ask?! Well let's just say that this week you get the opportunity for a little thing we like to call self-realization. That opportunity is always open to us all, for sure. However, this week you get the opportunity in spades.
But if you let yourself get all turned around by the outdated road signs and flat tires due to potholes the size of pools, you'll waste a perfectly potent opportunity. So don't.
Demand that your energy stay with you and not wander too far into the worry zone. Command your mind to stay present, to focus and steady you. You can't control what will happen but you can greatly influence the outcome if you remain centered in yourself. Not only that, but if you stay deeply connected to yourself, you won't care as much about how everything else unfolds. When we know, down to our bones, that Grace is with us, we can stand a tremendous amount of life's lessons.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Just stay with it. It's not through with you yet. Stay with it and see if you can accept every single feeling that you have about it. No judgment. There's information coming to you from way behind the scenes and it might take a moment to come to consciousness.
The most tempting piece of this astrology for you will be to focus on what is wrong, what is in opposition to you and what you need to destroy, bury or kill off. The problem is that when we get rid of (or when we think we get rid of) an aspect of our lives that is displeasing to us, we might do so too soon and miss the most essential aspect of the lesson at hand. If this happens we will be forced to do the lesson over again.
I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of time.
Stay with the tension that you are in with another, or many others. Unless it's abusive, there's never any point to staying in that. But even if you are forced to leave the situation, stay with your process around it.
You are on the precipice of understanding one of the densest walls you have around your heart. This lesson carries so much power that you are likely to refuse it completely. That's how this works. The closer we get to our freedom, the more committed we need to be to the fight. Our internal gargoyles are terrifying and highly skilled at scaring us off from doing our deeper work.
Refuse to be led astray. Steady your compassionate gaze on the monster in front of you and see if you can charm that sucker into submission. The trick is knowing which monster you are facing.
Leo & Leo Rising
Much information still comes from behind the scenes -- sources like dreams, inklings, nightmares and eerily accurate feelings that come true (yes, you're extra sensitive right now. Trust it). The information that you receive via your friendships and community interactions is equally intense, important and revelatory.
This week is no joke.
In fact, we are in the swing of two fairly heavy Moons, last week's new Moon opposed Pluto, and the upcoming full Moon conjuncts Pluto. There isn't a tremendous amount of levity in between the two. There is however a tremendous depth, healing, destruction, return, renewal, loss, and/or understanding that is tied to this cycle. In between the two, Mercury stations direct. Mercury's station is always a time to dig deep into a momentary pause.
Can you sit with your impulses long enough to understand where they originate? Especially as they pertain to the people in your social circles?
Not always. That's okay too, and then you're just stuck dealing with the situation in all of its fragments and projections. But that's life, no? Just remember that you have a get out of jail free card in your back pocket. You have every right to peace out for an indefinite amount of time. You have every right to choose not to process every feeling that comes up with everyone. You have every right to go to a double feature and watch the drama play out on the big screen instead of your personal one. Take the time to do you.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Nothing is as good as when it's good for everyone involved. Nothing is as satisfying as when creative intelligence wells up inside of us, spilling over, gushing past the limits of our container.
It cannot be stopped. It cannot be claimed as your own. But it can be celebrated.
Nothing is as good as when we share it. Yet, sharing our deepest calling may feel like the most terrifying thing we can do. Following our heart's greatest desire is akin to getting naked in front of our high school bully. But you are bigger than that situation now.
There is actually nothing left to fear beyond what it might mean that folks are actually picking up what you are putting down and the flack that it might bring. That's the thing with popularity: you become the target for many mental arrows with poison tips and many drinks that could contain a little extra spice that is not so nice. I suggest some dodgeball sessions to get your agility back (and maybe pouring your own wine at the party). I don't want you to be paranoid -- it's just that there is an extra reason for you to be both the recipient of high praise and the receptacle of others' unprocessed anguish.
Self-protection plus compassion for the struggles of others is key here. See everyone through the wide lens of perspective and care enough about your own self to move out of the way even if you don't understand why the thing is coming at you.

This is an important set up to have as you enter the week due to the fact that your ruling planet, Mercury, is changing directions (a very important moment) into your Tenth House of career. What I encourage you to be mindful of are all the ways in which you might let yourself get tripped up and mired in the drama of others instead of just getting down to what you need to do.
There is a difference between being a good friend and being self-sabotaging and it can be very slight. The bottom line is that whatever your ultimate truth is, it will be best for everyone involved.
Libra & Libra Rising
Like a flood that you had no idea was welling in your basement, this week the waters rise up to the most visible places in your life. Whatever inklings have been slowly revealing themselves to you in your private moments will be bright as sunshine and as public as an exhibitionist at a Pride parade.
In short, the planets are blowing you up.
It happens. Exposure is 9/10ths of the way towards admitting that you have a problem. Whatever force or family member has been testing you is about to tip you over the edge. Spiritually speaking, they/it are only trying to help you do your work. I know, that sounds cruel, but most of us need to be dragged kicking, screaming and pulling hair before we are willing to get down to business.
The good news is that you are primed to see things from another point of view right now, so this exposure may be arriving at precisely the right moment. This week feels in many ways like a tipping point, one that could be quite a relief or one that could lead to a total obsession that has the power to swallow you whole.
Notice when you feel possessed and enmeshed, and take a healthy pause to help you gain perspective.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
The only thing left to do sometimes is give up what we most think we need. If it's ours, it refuses to let us go. If it's not, it disintegrates like a dream upon awakening.
Whichever way the story unfolds, it's best to look at it as a blessing, if at all possible. There is an energy brewing this week (and next) that is mind-bending to say the least. This is not such an easy entry into summer's sweetness. This is a little more like a summer's storm with this week unfolding with the eerie feeling before the storm hits.
My hope is that some of the faith that has willfully inserted itself into your overarching beliefs this year can be of service in this week's astro weather.
Storms are exciting, dramatic, life affirming, destructive and cleansing. Storms purge the funk from the atmosphere. They can leave us feeling awake, alive and renewed.
But we have to get through the wind and rain first. We need cover. We need to find a safe place. We need to be able to know when we are clinging to the antenna that is sure to get us struck by lighting.
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
I know that I have been on you about this lately, but this week it's extra important to listen to those around you. However, it's equally important for you to listen to yourself simultaneously. One ear in, one ear out. The folks you're intimate with are bound to pull a whole fountain of information out of you and offer up a little more than you may be able to swallow.
Falling in love, being in love, staying in love and wandering through the ogre-laden path of love takes an unflinching heart and a sincere desire to succeed in the ever elusive game of self-awareness via another. It's enough to make you want to take a nap.
Breaks are good but pauses are easier to come by. Take as many as you need. This week they are free. This kind of astrology reminds us that there is absolutely no need to rush matters of the heart. Each one of us lives so completely within the confines of our own experience only to be brought out of our little circus once in a while -- this week is one of those times.
See life from their point of view when you can. Consider detaching somewhat from the situation so that there may be some cognitive clarity and emotional sanitation.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
I cannot heal you. It's not my job, but it's also not within my power. You heal you. Love heals you. Divine intervention heals you. To believe anything else is to believe my ego. I am not a savior (except to myself). I am not a saint. I am not all-powerful, but I align myself with the greatest source of power when I can remain humble enough to be teachable.
I resist the urge to clobber people. Even though I may really want to.
I do not hurt others intentionally because I end up feeling it as much or more than they do. I don't want to hurt unnecessarily; life is already full of enough jagged edges and open wounds. I step around yours carefully but not at the cost of my own life.
I listen to my body -- its sensations, its pain and the whispers in its more spacious spaces. If something arises here, with my health, I know that I need to slow to a stop so that I have the chance to gather myself again. The worst thing that can happen to me is that I'm able to push past all of my physical limits.
When I feel tired, I rest when and where I can. I trust the signals my health sends me.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Listen to them. Your lovers. Your creations. Your children. Your erotic appetites. They are all telling you something very important this week. Mainly they are informing you in very direct or completely indirect ways about how to serve them so that they might serve you back.
This is not about getting your every desire; this is about seeing what drives your every desire. This is not about wasting all your time on entertaining trifles; this is about seeing what meaning your partners are presenting to you. Sacred partnership requires us to burn our ego in the fire (and the fact) of our powerlessness over others.
It's not up to us who loves us, likes us or hates us.
Can you get to the place where you can love another regardless of how they feel about you? Can you get to the point where you aren't fazed by anyone's passing fancy or total contempt of you? Can you get to that ridiculously juicy spot where your overtly strong personality accepts the crushing weight of the cure to your suffering?
Only a moment of trust is required of you to move from holding onto resentments or moving towards the healing waters of forgiveness you are so in need of. You just can't get too far if you are gripping too tightly, and sometimes the only person you need to forgive is yourself.
Let this week's lessons seep into your wounds and saturate your soul.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Our obsession with "happy" can get in the way of our ability to find meaning, healing and the truth. There is a very distinct difference between allowing happiness in and forcing it into being. The same goes for romantic affairs and creativity. Nothing here can be made to happen, we are the faithful servants of our joy if we have any intelligence at all. While you are still chewing on this material for the next couple of weeks, there is something brewing just a little below the surface, mainly at home.
Pay special attention to any information that arises in relation to your family history. Sometimes we can work on something for what feels like a lifetime and then all of a sudden it integrates and we truly get it. We forgive. We are forgiven. We accept. We are accepted, or better yet we accept how others can or cannot accept us. It boils down to honoring the truth, whatever that is. Whatever arises, whatever mood, feeling or memory wants to take the stage, we may as well show up for it; we've already paid the price of admission, we may as well get a show.
Remembering that everyone at home or in your family circle also has their own rhythm, their own way to work and be with their healing process. Give them the dignity of finding it. You might know things before they do, you might see it as it is coming while they are completely blind to the train barreling down the tracks. We can tell someone something once but anything beyond that is said to be manipulative. I'm not sure if that's true, but I offer it to you to meditate on.
