"Flotsam and jetsam" describe debris floating atop the sea. Jetsam is the valuable goods ships used to toss over to lighten a boat's load, while flotsam is pieces of driftwood and sea waste. Mercury and Neptune conspire to float their own version of such debris in the ocean of our collective unconscious. Steer clear of mental muck.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The financial scene needs another look. Check your bank accounts to make sure there's no strange activity going on, other than your own — impulse shopping trips you forgot to record, for instance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). All the elaboration in the world won't help someone get what you're trying to say. Make the story riveting and dramatic, and you get through. The more flair you add, the more beguiling your story becomes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one is exactly who they say they are — you included. You're letting others believe what they want about you because it's so favorable. And maybe it's truer than even you would think.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your life is a labyrinth with many choices and unknowns. Not all of them are as fearsome as your imagination paints them to be. Turn left instead of right, and you find yourself in a lovely setting.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You receive a boost from a colleague — someone you once mistrusted, in fact. Now you can laugh off the thing that happened in your past and start on this high note.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 7). You have a healing touch, and it touches everyone you're close to. Don't undervalue this gift as tangential — it's tangible, as in cold cash. Work on a business plan through June. Customers come by October when the word gets out. Singles: Someone makes an out-of-the-blue love confession in October. Scorpio and Capricorn people suit you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 5, 16, 43 and 3.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Relationship ties come undone. Wait till tonight to re-establish connections. Use the time between to get clear and centered. You'll hear the words that will make you happy by tonight.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What would normally be considered difficult is no challenge at all for you. With a diplomatic strategy, you blast through closed doors and impossible policies.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want your social life to change, and it does. It only takes one bright individual, perhaps a Taurus person, to alter your outlook and open up a world of new relationships.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're going through an unusual phase. People who don't know you are fooled by your modesty. In order to get the respect you deserve, speak up about what you've done and what you plan to do.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can appreciate the contradictions in other people's personalities, but don't normally give yourself permission to do one thing and say another. Life is contradictory. It's OK. You can be, too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have gumption! Energy! Enthusiasm! Furthermore, you have your own organizational skills to thank for your progress. Tonight, your family has something to say to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Loved ones enjoy cracking you up. You're healthier for using laughter as therapy — and it's a lot less expensive than other kinds. Rent movies and giggle away the hours.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "You mentioned that, 'as the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries is like a perpetual child.' Where do the rest of the signs fall in line, particularly Gemini, my sign?"
Your question inspired me to answer from Aries' perspective — we're all children at heart, aren't we? ARIES through LIBRA: ARIES is the perpetual child with no concept of the boundaries we learn as we grow older. He just spilled his apple juice on the floor. TAURUS protects her toys from the spill by grabbing them. "Mine!" Her task is to share. GEMINI is bored with the game she's playing and is curious about what the other kids are doing. What's going on over there is far more interesting than here. CANCER just remembered she hasn't seen her mommy in a while and starts to cry — even though she's been playing with Gemini for the past four hours! LEO upstages Cancer's emotionalism with a dramatic gesture. "Wanna see what I can do?" VIRGO makes sure everyone has sufficient snacks and nap time. She's the teacher's pet. LIBRA has developed a crush on Aries. Too bad he's oblivious. Libra is always the ringleader of a girl group. Come back for Scorpio through Pisces!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Will Tina Yothers sing again? She sang her first single on her series "Family Ties." With her sun and Venus in Taurus, she's got a gift for song, but a big part of her life's work is being a mom to her step-kids and her own daughter. As her astrologer, I'd advise her to make time in her busy day to keep developing her craft, whether that's music or a new artistic direction. Making art vitalizes Yothers.

|  | 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!
