Recently launched ‘Water-Smart Gardening in Santa Cruz County’ Website promotes outdoor water efficiency A new on-line gardening database was recently launched in June 2010 as an easy-to-use resource for creating water-saving gardens in Santa Cruz County. This website (www.santacruz.watersaving plants.com/) is full of inspirational gardens and ideas that can help reduce summer watering. It features local plants especially suited for Santa Cruz County climate. The creation of this database began as a joint effort by the City of Santa Cruz, the City of Watsonville, Soquel Creek Water District, San Lorenzo Valley Water District, Scotts Valley Water District and the Monterey Bay Master Gardeners when the County was entering its third year of drought. Although the region experienced normal rainfall levels last year, a low water-use garden can tolerate a future dry spell far better than those that require more water and may suffer during periods when water-use is restricted. Next scwd2 Community Informational Meeting Wednesday, July 28. The second in a series of scwd2 Community Informational Meetings will focus on the History of Water Planning for the City of Santa Cruz and Soquel Creek Water District. Come to this community meeting to learn about:
Bill Kocher, Water Director, City of Santa Cruz Water Department and Laura Brown, General Manager, Soquel Creek Water District will present the history of water supply planning for their respective agencies and then be joined on a Question and Answer Panel by Mike Rotkin, Mayor of Santa Cruz and Dan Kriege, Soquel Creek Water District Board Member. The meeting will be held on July 28 at the Santa Cruz Police Department Community Room (155 Center St, Santa Cruz) from 6:30-8:30 PM. For more information on this meeting, please check the www.scwd2desal.org website. Questions and Answers from the Water Conservation Community Informational Meeting are now available. Attendees at the May 27th Informational Meeting on Water Conservation submitted questions to be answered by the panelists. Nearly 30 questions were received about topics ranging from water conservation, curtailment and graywater to supplemental supply project alternatives including desalination. Answers to all questions submitted are now available on-line at, www.scwd2desal.org/Page-faqs-new.php •••

Both Venus and Mars are working well in your sign, giving you a stunning ability to get what you want in the easiest way possible. You wish it was always this simple! But don't ignore hard reality and the rule book while you're at it and recognize what limits you. See this as a small challenge rather than a major headache and provided you remain positive, you can easily make a difference. Working behind the scenes means that you may not yet get the recognition you feel you deserve, but you certainly don't go unnoticed!
This month, both Venus and Mars enter your sign. Your personal charisma and magnetism go up in other people's estimation and you find that others are only too willing to help out and be your friend. Your natural creativity can get channelled in a new direction and there is a possibility that what you do for love can be earning you money too. A change in career looks tempting but it is wise to wait until after the 12th before you make any rash decisions. The Moon is in your sign then and you should be able to tap into your heart's desire.
Although this is an excellent month in terms of your career direction and professional life, you are also getting to grips with how your personal ambitions fit into what is possible as far as your family is concerned. Jupiter your ruler, is back in emotional and intuitive Pisces and you would be as well to go with your instincts plus your knowledge. If something feels right then it probably is. Use this time to do what is right for you on a health and well being level too. The Sun in Virgo is about systems and practicalities on a fundamental level.
While the Sun is in Virgo you find that the world seems to make more sense and you are not dealing with so many mysteries and uncertainties. But that may be as a result of you taking charge, which you have been doing increasingly in recent months. The smallest changes can make a massive difference and set your intentions about how ideally you would like things to be. Certainly, the message that you send to your loved ones is clear enough. Connections with overseas can open up your world in intriguing ways.
A little diversion is welcome and some kind escape is appealing. Taking yourself off somewhere to spend some valuable downtime is preferable at the start of the month and you really need time to go over different ideas to see where they lead. A change is coming but you are resistant to too much disruption. But there is likely to be less than you think, since a natural progression is taking place. News around your career is surprising and hopeful, and you could soon be doing something completely different.
While Jupiter, planet of growth and opportunity, is back in your sign, you may find yourself returning to a place you though you had left once and for all. this can be on many different levels, but nothing is ever quite the same again. Meanwhile this month, Pluto, planet of change and transformation goes forward once more after nearly six months. Important connections with other people are key to your next steps. One thing can lead to another and it is time to cultivate who you know as well as what you know.
The Sun in Virgo is practical and awakens your desire to be there for other people. You are sometimes accused of putting yourself first, but not now. You have recently tried different ways of expressing yourself and see that the idea of give and take is finely balanced. Make the most of Mars, your ruler, spending time in Libra to give you a sense of balance and getting things just right, certainly in terms of your closest relationship. It's worth all the effort you put in.
While you are actively involved in creative pursuits this month, you can be frustrated by delays in an official capacity. Travel plans may also not go as well as you'd hoped earlier on but after the first few days, things are back on track. Using your natural skills to come up with innovative solutions can stand you in good stead for the future. Others may seek to steal your thunder so don't be too modest! The Full Moon on the 23rd marks a time where a secret ambition is at last gaining strength.
You are up and down emotionally and that's because you are reacting fairly strongly to events that are outside your control. It's time to be a little more philosophical and accepting to save yourself unnecessary stress. In fact, the way you think can have a great impact on what you do. It's not just about being positive either, but practical solutions to complex situations are not that far away. Team work and collaboration with others can bring enormous rewards, especially if you are doing something with a charity.
Your social skills are getting a work out at the start of the month and Venus and Mars together can create just the right chemistry if you are in a new liaison. But the sun is in sensible Virgo for the first three weeks, and although this doesn't hold you back particularly, you are more savvy than usual and a little less reckless. Take your time when it comes to making important decisions regarding your finances, and wait till after the 12th before you make a major commitment that can have far reaching effects for the future.
You are more energetic and enthusiastic than usual and take the lead when it comes to making decisions and starting new projects. You have the ability to put yourself over well in interviews and meetings and clear headed when you have to give advice and your opinions, either written or spoken. Explore possibilities within public relations and connections with the media, and resolve to sort out an irksome financial situation once and for all. It takes discipline but you have that in abundance.
