No man is an island. But if he were, during the Libra moon he'd be proud to be one in a group of islands, like the Channel Islands or the Hawaiian Islands. The Libra moon is about bonding, cooperating and building on the strengths of the group. Disagreement is worked out. Communication is restored.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The essence of knowledge lies in emotion, not thought. Throw out your rulebooks. Forget everything you think you know. Focus on what you feel. A Cancer person is your guide.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Why people aren't sticking to the schedule is beyond you — it's all you can do to stop from rolling your eyes like an annoyed teen. Patience, Taurus! Diplomacy and tact win loyalty.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe you don't have the answer because you're asking the wrong question. Change your question this afternoon. So-called coincidences take on new meaning, and good things flow toward you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Imagination will solve what intellect cannot. So those flights of fancy you take this afternoon? Well, they're more lucrative and productive than any number of errands you could run.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don't mind a clash here and there — it keeps things interesting. But when loved ones seem to be picking fights all the time, well, that's just not acceptable. Tonight, get to the root of the problem and fix it.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 7). This is a year of beautiful and fruitful relationships. This month's financial decisions pave your future. Challenges in April help you get ready for June's big opportunity. To meet demands in July, you'll have to educate yourself. Finances this summer reflect that it was all worth it. You've a divine connection with Libra and Aries people. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 45, 22 and 12.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The shift from old to new is exciting and a bit stressful, too. It helps to know that everyone is going through the same thing. The transition is unavoidable — and if you tried to avoid it, you'd be unsuccessful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's a way to get what you want and still please the powers that be. But that solution hasn't been conjured up yet. Ask three other people for opinions. Your open mind is the hero in the end.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're good at being mysterious. But if you blend in with the crowd, you'll never know whether that special someone is really looking at you! Dare to stand out in your own subtle, sophisticated way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone is looking for a commitment you aren't ready to give. How can you know what to do when there are all those other options out there you haven't even tried?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've already experienced the benefits of being incredibly self-disciplined most of the time. But today, the less you do, the more desirable you are. So don't try. Who can resist your chic scruffiness?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The people around you are a reflective surface for your secret desires. You're learning what you want by noticing what you give your attention to. Dare to set a goal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Express your excellent style, regardless of who might be around to praise you. You feel terrific when you look terrific. Romance begins while you're busy taking excellent care of yourself.
PERSONALITY OF A PLANET:
SATURN: The most remarkable and spectacular feature of the sixth planet of our solar system is a fascinating system of rings that encircle it. More than 1,000 bands of what are believed to be ice crystals braid into intricate patterns as they rotate around the yellow planet.
I like to think of these rings as the rings inside the wood of an old tree trunk — markings that indicate the wisdom that comes with age. When Saturn is personified, he is a white-haired elder, Father Time.
Once upon a Greek myth, Saturn was a god who was warned that he'd be destroyed by his own children. Therefore, he devoured everyone who was born. However, one baby, hidden by his mother, was able to escape Saturn's paranoid wrath — this was Zeus. Later, Zeus overthrew his father and claimed his throne. Saturn became bitter, strict and old. The story seems a harsh depiction of Saturn, but as it is with all cranky elders, in order to benefit from his wisdom, you have to be tough enough to get to know him. He stands for discipline. Without discipline, no earthly endeavor will bear fruit.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Tall, dark and oh-so-handsome, is there anything Ashton Kutcher touches that doesn't turn to gold? Eight years on television's "That '70s Show," over three years producing MTV's mega-popular "Punk'd," and he's married to Demi Moore! Kutcher's famous Aquarian social charm demands that we root for him, not envy him, and that could be his greatest quality of all.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
