Palm Trees in Palm Springs
Palm Springs, California might soon allow fortune telling, body piercing, tattooing and the sale of tobacco in its downtown core.
Presently businesses offering such services are restricted to areas defined as professional zones. But that might soon change.
The Palm Springs Planning Commission voted unanimously last Wednesday to go forward with a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the present restrictions.
The Director of Planning Services, Craig Ewing, described the existing restrictions as outdated and feels they should be changed to reflect present day attitudes, not ideas from 20 to 50 years ago.
Businesses are already offering these services in the downtown area. Some have been there since before the present laws came into effect.
Some are technically legal, but just so. Like the store that sells tobacco in less than 50 percent of its area, so as to be considered a gift shop rather than a tobacco shop.
Other businesses are simply breaking the law.
It sounds like Palm Springs is just making what’s already happening, legal across the board.
The public hearing is expected to be in late May or early June.

High Priestess in Hierophant's Clothes
The Moon moves into Taurus today and stays there until Wednesday.
If you look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Hierophant. She’s sitting before two acolytes and sharing the secrets she usually guards.
The Moon in Taurus, or High Priestess in the Hierophant’s clothes, is a time of spiritual and emotional certitude.
There’s a sense that the truth can be explained, understood and incorporated into daily life. Rules can and should be followed.
Instead of trying to force others to recognize what you know to be certain, try using this time to simply share your emotional, intellectual and spiritual perceptions.
Celebrate the diversity of spirit in our world, while figuring out for yourself what rules, spiritual or otherwise, work best for you.

You don’t know what’s coming next or from which direction it’s coming. Valour is important today. Stay true to yourself, firm in your stance and be prepared for anything and everything.
There will be a lot on the go and you’ll probably feel tested. But if you keep your chin up, your back strong and take things one step at a time, the results will be well worthwhile.
Stay strong – you’ve got it in you. And whether or not you recognize it, you’re in a position of strength.
