Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week dear Aries, you have several forces working against you. Good thing, you’re always up for the challenge. Instead of backing down or retreating, your spirit soars with each antagonizing step. The result is beneficial. You gain where others crash and burn. Take that extra step and try something new.

THE BULLY STATE: Nannying dressed up in stewardship clothing, threatening people rather than nudging. It is state sponsored shaming, coercion and propaganda. It is often associated with the authoritarian (rather than economic) component of fascism.

OCPD CONTROL FREAK: In the behavioral sciences field there is a differentiation between Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder and Obsessive...

ALBUQUERQUE—Veronica C. García, Ed.D, executive director of New Mexico Voices for Children, released the following statement regarding the U.S. Census Bureau’s release of data showing that New Mexico had some of the biggest decreases in the nation in the percentage of the population without health insurance:

“This Census data represents great news for all New Mexicans. Ensuring that everyone can see a doctor when they’re sick makes the state’s population healthier and it’s a good prescription for our economy. Clearly the Affordable Care Act is working, as hundreds of thousands of previously uninsured New Mexicans now have health insurance.

“The Medicaid expansion has been...
