The social Aquarius moon invites the planetary party to a midweek mixer as Venus moves into Gemini, playing hostess with the mostest with razzle-dazzle flair. Love confessions pop up on our IM chat screens and cell phones for a truly modern real-time love message. Flirty, but are they true? Lovers cut to the chase with disarming honesty.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could sell snake oil to the snake oil salesmen — you're that wickedly bad or good today. Good, bad — it's all relative. No slope is too slippery for you to finagle an angle. Make up the rules as you go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Joy and happiness as often come from nonphysical dimensions like intuition and imagination as from the physical dimensions. That said, there's nothing like a little retail therapy for a quick post-work pick-you-up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Effervescent twins, it's your day to shine. Someone delivers you the equivalent of a dozen red roses, or a brand new sparkly cell phone. Your affections are so coveted you just can't choose one. So take two of everything.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You relish your solitude like perhaps no other sign, except Pisces. On days like today, even when you're in the world, you're not of it. Tonight, take an unhurried walk in nature or a hot bath. Replenish your pleasure-well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're touched by an angel. Wait, no, that's your beloved lovingly stroking your ego in all the right spots. Enjoy the attention, then lavish it on others. You're being praised in certain circles.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 11). Your awareness expands this year, and your capacity to feel joy gets bigger right along with it. A concession you make for the sake of keeping the peace will work wonders. Enjoy a vacation in a faraway place before the summer is up. Wealth and self-esteem are all tied together. Reflect and analyze in September. Love signs are Taurus or Scorpio. Lucky numbers are 12, 4, 39, 22 and 9.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You get a little closer to cracking the mystery of a significant relationship, but not through your intellect. It's the code of the heart, wordless and wise. You're voted most congenial in the boardroom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's easy to get lost in a fun role-playing fantasy game with your partner, so why not go with it? Experimentation is where it's at. Gemini influences suggest trying it at least twice, maybe three times to be sure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Almost effortlessly, you move a talent from virtual invisibility into recognition status. Ever heard of product positioning? Show them your net worth by slyly moving your product next to something they're already selling.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders sang, "When love walks in the room, everybody stand up." You're lip synching with someone who makes your hair stand on end, and it's "good, good, good."
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People take notice when you speak, but you can make more of a contribution today by listening. It's the subtle gestures of body language and tone that give an interaction voice. This also helps distinguish gossip from fact.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You've more fun tricks up your sleeve than Houdini. And a beautiful helper at your side assists your every wish, either with financial backing or by simply making you look good.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Reminisce. Explore where you come from for a more solid idea of where you're headed. A cute fuzzy pet or other sweet love object gives you cause to pause on feel-good memories.
ASTROLOGICAL PROFILE: Venus in Gemini — Follow the laughter and you'll find her. She's the most flirtatious, fickle, impossible lady — and the most delightfully deviant. She can light up a room with her verbal dexterity and wit, but turn a joke around on you with a clever eye twinkle. She never shies from the spotlight. And when it comes to adding one more social event to her BlackBerry, stimulate her curiosity and interests and she's the life of the party. Venus changes signs approximately every 30 days, and every shift brings a whole new slew of personal preferences, moods and fancies. What do we love when Venus shacks up with the Twins? We love the words of love, self-expression, beautiful lyrics, spoken word and love poetry. We love to talk on our cell phones, to text, to IM strangers across the coffee shop and cyber-date. Love in the age of information is still young love, just like youthful Gemini. Sometimes we're too busy curiously exploring a date (who is this fabulous new person?) to let it really gel. We're entranced by their sparkle and glitter ... until we're bored. Oh, you say you've got emotional needs? Save it for Venus in Cancer next month.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: As young female celebrities go to rehab and cause stirs with their bad-girl antics, we've neglected to be shocked when a certain Aries sensation did the totally impossible: She went from pop singer to believable actress. As Mandy Moore's acting career gathers momentum, she is in a perfect position to make an impact on the musical trend in movies right now — Aries usually is ahead of the curve.

|  | 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!)

|  | 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!
