Poet Fiona Macleod wrote, "My heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill." Poet Julia Pardoe wrote, "The heart is a free and fetterless thing — a wave of the ocean, a bird on the wing?" Pluto asks, "Which are you more like?" as he takes lady Venus into the depths of the heart. Is your heart fulfilled or hungry?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Words can fail the human heart, but they can also resuscitate it. When the beauty of a song lyric or poem lands on a tender spot in need of care, you'll know exactly how to give back to the one you love.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A famous Rolling Stones song proclaimed that you can't always get what you want. But how about what you need? If you lighten up, you may just get both what you want and what you need by 7 p.m.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Contrary to what you once believed, there's no conspiracy designed to keep you from your highest interest. You reach out, and the world opens its arms. It's as simple as that.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Does self-denial bring one closer to sainthood? Or is it just a righteous cloak for low self-esteem? Today there's a clever way to have your cake and eat it, too. Just ask a Sagittarius person.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're earning the reputation of teacher and respected wise-person in your community of peers, so you'll naturally attract a few immature souls in need of direction. Be the gentle guide.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 6). You're done looking; it's time to leap. You take the creative equivalent of a beautiful arabesque and have the skill to carry it off this year. The money you invest in your home grows in July, a good month for moving. Travel in June. Singles, expect more than one passionate romance. Virgo and Gemini people find you extremely sensual. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 20, 32, 3 and 43.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're placing a lot of importance on a technical detail because you value consistency. However, it benefits you to be more like the graceful willow — when the wind asks it to bend, it does.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're more at home with yourself than you've been in years, and yet you're simultaneously prompted to reach beyond familiar boundaries into the great unknown. Love can take you there. So can art.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some live in shades of gray — that life would be incredibly dull for you. However, before you dismiss someone else's experience, let his or her story impress upon your view of the world.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The remarkable power you're generating transmits to everyone you meet. You may not know how strongly you're coming on, so keep a healthy perspective on any strange reactions you receive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Something is missing. It's possible your rules have kept this piece out of your life. Rules send strong messages to the unconscious, but the good part is, you can always amend them when necessary.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You love your friends for the ways you're alike. You also love them for the ways in which you're different. The differences may be more pronounced now, challenging you to stay open.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The search for meaning is one of the oldest journeys in history. After you've cracked a few secret codes, you may realize there's nothing to know that you haven't already experienced in your dreams.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Venus is so popular. So why is she hanging out with Pluto, Mr. Unpopular? She's the girl you admired in school for her popularity, beauty and brains. Pluto's the lone wolf. He travels solo in dark glasses and a trench coat. He could be a bad boy, but his brooding gives him away — there's something about those dark, penetrating eyes. When Venus catches Pluto silently watching her in the hallway, she's intrigued. She's never encountered someone like him. He's got an aura of danger and power. And he's smokin' hot. Literally. In myth, Pluto is the king of the underworld, promising spiritual encounters with fate and hardship that strip us of our superficial values. In exchange for naivete we get the one thing that no one can ever take away: personal power. Through their meeting, Venus uncovers her own inner reservoir of strength to meet whoever comes her way. If someone or something both intrigues and makes you strangely suspicious this week, it's Pluto. You could be asked, like Venus, to surrender your innocence for depth. What cracks your heart wide open also ripens it for beauty, truth and power.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Will George Clooney be a bachelor forever? It's the million-dollar question that single women of America are obsessed with. Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman both bet $10,000 that Clooney would father a child by age 40 — they lost. Clooney has the chart of a gentle rogue. This freewheeling gentleman believes in old-fashioned chivalry. He'd rather be alone than disrespect a lady.

|  | 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!
