Happy Mother's Day! The Aries moon points out that no matter how long ago it was that we were babes born of women, there's a part of us that is still small, innocent and in need of a mother's nurturing. As you celebrate the maternal influence in your life, let her know she'll always be needed.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wrestle with angels and bad influences in a William Blake kind of way. Buried things are coaxed out of the dark corners and into the light. The angels will win -- oh, happy day!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're the most patient in the bunch, and someone's making a point of testing that patience. All this person really wants to do is reconnect, even if they have a funny way of showing it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Aggression has a way of getting misplaced. If you're frustrated with the vacuum cleaner, don't take it out on the dog. Let off that steam with some vigorous exercise and everyone wins!
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have moxy! Remember? Now where did you misplace it? Practice walking, talking and working your spunky self. Woe to the person who gets in your face, as you're a victim no more!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're totally focused on finishing a project. You've the endurance of Superman and the mental agility of a statistician. Keep the midnight candle burning long enough to do a victory dance.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 13). Preface birthday wishes with a series of "can-do's." Your list of accomplishments grows! Your motivation to move through personal obstacles is truly awe-inspiring. An old friend reaches out in June. Invest in improving your quality of life in August. A fated encounter in October leaves you breathless. Cancer and Libra people are so romantic. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 45, 5 and 12.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No, you're not imagining things. You've got every reason to be irritated at someone's poor judgment and every right to feel the complex emotions that make you human.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You see the sweetest part of others. Your sentimental mood is infectious. The maternal influence in your life is sure to shed a happy tear when she catches the emotion you're spreading.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can move forward with what you have or sink more of your resources into an endeavor. The only thing that matters is that you don't give up. If your belief in your cause is strong enough, it sustains everything.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Once, a Colorado woman started a multi-state forest fire by burning an angry love letter during the no-burn season. For you, one small remark could fan the flames of devastation or passion. Use common sense.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No goal thrives without the loving support of community. If someone in your family or circle of friends lets you down, think about the people you most admire and align yourself with their positive vision.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Choose your battles. Narrowing your focus conserves energy for the things that really matter. The person you disagree with today might be able to help you tomorrow.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're a powerhouse. Keep acknowledging your crazy-strong psychic and creative abilities while you're rattling the cage of any stubborn limiting beliefs. There's nothing powerful about staying small.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Taurus flower power prevails this week. When you happen upon a fragrant bed of flowers, catch a whiff of an intoxicating meal or admire a beautiful woman, you whet the earthy appetite of Taurus. Taurus appreciates, in both uses of the word: to "admire" and "make more of." Mother Nature admires her handiwork and decides to make more of it. Why make just one white flower when we can have hundreds, maybe thousands? The midweek new moon in Taurus finds every reason to appreciate what we have. Simplicity is essential -- nothing too complex. The Bull moves slowly, knowing that the ideas we spawned during Aries times need to be plowed into the Taurus earth before they can grow into something we can touch. It's not impossible to rush a flower, some growers do, and it's called rushing a start. "Rushing starts" force flowers to bloom before their season, which works against nature and the common sense attribute of Taurus, patience. Common sense goes far with the new moon this week, for when we ask simply, "What is it that I need?" we learn what we lack. And when we ask simply, "What is it that I want?" we appreciate what we have.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: While Cate Blanchett was studying her upcoming role as the young Bob Dylan, she says she fell in love with his life. She has the touch of the soulful singer/songwriter in herself. Blanchett's sun surrenders to Neptune, planet of emotional highs and lows, discontent and uplift. Her Mercury in the roving sign of Gemini makes her a keen observer and communicator of the human experience.

|  | 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!
