ARIES (March 21-April 19)
In late April of 1969, Cambridgeshire, UK, hosted the first-ever Thriplow Daffodil Weekend: a flower show highlighting 80 varieties of narcissus. In the intervening years, climate change has raised the average temperature 3.24 degrees Fahrenheit. So, the flowers have been blooming progressively earlier each year, which has necessitated moving the festival back. The last pre-COVID show in 2019 was on March 23-24, a month earlier than the original. Let s use this as a metaphor for shifting conditions in your world. I invite you to take an inventory of how your environment has been changing, and what you could do to ensure you re adapting to new conditions.
After a sketch comedy show, an animated series on Comedy Central and an animated series on Netflix, former Athens residents Waco OâGuin and Roger Black will take their comedic talent to the stars with their newest Netflix animated comedy, âFarzar.â
âFarzarâ will center on Prince Fichael and his crew as they leave their domed human city to fight aliens seeking to kill them â or so they thought. As they venture out into the world, Fichael and his crew soon discover that their glorious adventure just might be a lie.
âItâs not just another kind of workplace comedy like weâve done in the past,â Black said. âThis one is going to be a lot bigger in scope.â
