On this day after the total lunar eclipse, you may feel somewhat spent — as though all your ideas and energy got zapped up in the flurry of last night's excitement. So rest. Your relaxation may include pondering the meaning of it all. By the end of the day, you'll come up with one important new rule you'd like to implement immediately.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Blame is an insidious thief, robbing the blamer of the growth opportunity he or she would incur by making the choice of personal responsibility. When "Blame" rears his head, stamp him down.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll happen onto information that you weren't supposed to know. There was a time when eavesdropping was a crime. But your only punishment now will be having to decide what to do with this information.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships require fun and whimsy in order to flourish, and you are a seasoned expert in the field of fun and whimsy. But sometimes you forget to use it. This is a good time not to forget.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being afraid to lose makes you less effective. Know what you're afraid to lose, and come to terms with it. When you realize you can survive and even thrive after a loss, you're more able to keep what you have.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's an upside-down day. The crazy things are true. The true things are crazy. Anything that seems sane and false is suspect. Sort it all out with a zany Aquarius person.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 4). There's no mountain high enough, no river wide enough to keep you from doing what you love. You're starting to understand that you don't help anyone by ignoring your talents. You get an education in April that pumps up your paycheck. July is the adventure you've been waiting for. You don't go it alone, either. You have fun with Leo and Libra people. Lucky numbers are: 2, 53, 13, 26 and 17.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're feeling a bit stifled, which makes it a good day to push your luck. Ride the edge of normalcy. Do something outrageous. If it doesn't work, do something else outrageous.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The outcome is only glorious if it was fun to make the effort in the first place. Knowing what feels authentic and doing only that will lead to success — in love, in finance and in general.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Spiritual lessons come in the most mundane circumstances — perhaps having to do with the way the laundry turns out or the lawn gets mowed. You're open-minded and you accept the gift.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're utterly ruthless about preserving your freedom. It's what allows you to go where you want — even when you don't know where that is. Especially when you don't know where that is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're learning magical and valuable lessons. Although, it feels more like you're being put through a frustrating and confusing maze. Trust the learning process.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're observant, but also imaginative. You're willing to see things as they are — but also as they could be. Warning: Don't fall in love with someone's potential.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're like a detective, sniffing out the true motivations of others. Seemingly illogical behaviors are disguises that you see right through. Use what you know to solve your own "case."
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun's annual transit through Pisces is like the sounding of the bell tower. It heralds a celebratory event, declares it's time to pray or simply honors the hour of the day. For whatever reason it rings, its resonation means the same thing — be conscious of now, now, now. This moment will never return, and yet "now" is an eternal state.
Each astrological sign has its own way of leading us back to the moment. Aries' is through action. Taurus' is through appetite. Gemini's is through communication. Pisces' way feels profound because it's through spiritual alignment. Pisces is the enlightened master on the hill, the sensei, the Yoda who urges us to "use the force." As we are now in the thrust of the Pisces solar transit, it's a wonderful week to ask yourself how your own spiritual journey is going. But if the idea of dealing in this unseen realm makes you uncomfortable, know that you can get spiritual benefit from practical action.
Roller-skating. Laughing. Playing patty-cake with a baby. Cooking for your family. Singing to yourself in the car. Extending kindness to someone you don't know. Dreaming luscious dreams. Gazing hopefully into the night sky.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Ron Howard is a thoughtful and industrious Pisces who grew up in front of the camera and continues to fascinate the American public from behind it. Howard uses his Piscean intuition to decide which projects to choose. Though he covers a wide range of styles, from comedy to thriller to historical drama, the through-line of his work is old-fashioned values. Pisces feels the weight of social responsibility on a spiritual level.

|  | 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!
