Can't keep your hands out of the cookie jar? Just knowing treats were nearby had you sneaking over when Mom wasn't looking. Today, ribald Mercury in Aries coaxes Pluto to dig into juicy, compelling territory. Forget about keeping those conspiratorial cookie raids a secret. Just like Mom, everyone's got eyes in the back of their heads.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). To say you've got dirt on someone is an understatement. But having dirt doesn't mean you should pull a dirty on them. Question your motives before you dig into questionable territory.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may not realize how badly you wanted to confide your feelings to someone until after they've tumbled from your burning lips. Whether love or soul confessions, you set the precedent for a more honest relationship.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's open season at work. Everyone's taking a shot for the prize trophy. Their strategies are an observation in calculated wackiness. Observe the shenanigans with curious detachment, then make your call.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some days it's important to remember that what you do for a living isn't about the credit or recognition it brings you, but the good it brings others. It's not that day. There's nothing wrong with being the best and knowing it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your indomitable creative spark inspires a mad rush. What to do when people are banging on your door in a frenzy of desire? Answer it. You already know what you want your people to do for you.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 25). Follow your north star by harnessing your willpower to manifest your heart's desire. You're a gentle spirit, but this doesn't fool anyone -- you're powerful. A partner helps actualize a dream this year, and so do groups of friends. Make allies during the next four weeks. October is a romantic month for you. Pisces and Virgo people are kindred souls. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 7, 43, 11 and 5.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Is it better to be loved or to be feared? Clearly you're into the love side of the equation, but you're not sure what to think when others are apprehensive about how to approach you. What do they say? Fierce loveliness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Social graces can be graceless, can't they? When someone says, "I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but..." you always know you're not going to like it. Applaud yourself for being big enough to hear the message.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're getting help with your project. When it's time to make an acceptance speech, in whatever form that takes, thank the little guys -- they get disgruntled when you forget their names.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're talented. Dare to put your ideas on the line. Raise your hand during the boardroom meeting. Give others a reason to fear your ambition and your smarts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you feel sensitive to feedback, consider the source. If you trust the place it's coming from, you can see it's a bridge directly to truth -- at least one version of it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Purify your mind by sharing what's on it this morning. By the afternoon you'll be lighter, with no issue to weigh you down, no details to clutter your thinking.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's no shame in wanting what you want. Your want certainly won't take anything away from others. Voice at least one of your desires to someone who has the capacity to meet it. Maybe that person is you.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Leo rising, born on Jan. 20, 1975. I'm an avid reader/studier of astrology. I was wondering: When will I meet the right mate? I have everything going on in my life except a sound, solid relationship. Any ideas?"
You'll be happy to know this long, dry spell is on its way out by the end of this year. Here's why: The opposition of Saturn and Neptune has been making a relationship about as hard to come by as a cup of water in the middle of the desert. This is compounded by the fact that this opposition straddles your Venus in Aquarius, your personal love agent. It's like you hired a matchmaker and all she can come up with are impossible dating scenarios -- flakey, unavailable types or worse. If you intuitively sensed you were meant to be alone for this period and chose to put your attention on the areas of your life that respond to your efforts, I applaud you! This is the very best response to a planetary roadblock. Keep your spirits high, and love's doors are thrown wide open in 2008.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: An actor's actor, Al Pacino is a man whose ease and charm are matched only by his fierce loyalty. Who would cross Michael Corleone, the Godfather? With Taurus, if you're family, you've got nothing to worry about -- they're loyal to the grave. Pacino is so great at playing characters driven by a beastly desire to possess worldly powers. Expect another show of power in early 2008. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | 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!
