When Uranus tussles with Mercury his insights can be as revelatory as they are uncomfortable. With the slip of the tongue the unexpected rolls right off it: "Did I just say that?" But we're closer to the rebellious truth. Rebel mama Angelina Jolie says it well, "I may have been reckless, but I'm not a rebel without a cause."
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When someone places limits on a privilege that was previously free, you revolt! Build consensus before you unleash your plan. That's what great leaders do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As often as you're warned not to let precious time slip through your fingers, "slippery" is the nature of time. And some of today's moments are only precious because they couldn't be held.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing the same thing and expecting different results is one definition of insanity. So explore and experiment. Discovery feels good, and it also solves your problem.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're not your thoughts — welcome news, since you have a mixed bag of ideas now and some aren't helping you a lick. What runs through your head is a ticker tape of opinions, all of which can be changed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If today were a dance, it'd look like contact improv — a spontaneous body conversation between two people who have no idea what the other will do next. This is exactly the kind of fun you need now.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 20). You're not afraid to say what you mean and mean what you say. Others seek you out for your crazy wisdom. Focus on self-love over the next five weeks and you learn to trust your uncanny insights. Travel and children are linked in July. Your partner is powerful support for your goals this summer. Make sweet music with Cancer and Pisces people. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 18, 31, 8 and 5.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Virgos are great editors of the superfluous — time to work that skill on many levels now. What applies to fashion applies to life: If you haven't worn it in two years, get rid of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A financial review is in order. Make this the week you move things in a better direction by creating new rules or signing up for new services. A fiscal makeover will also be good for your soul.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Walking in someone else's shoes isn't easy, especially when their shoes pinch your feet. But it's important you try. Use your imagination to see what your loved one is going through.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The universe gives you your very own personal irritant, not as pleasant as a personal assistant, but just as helpful. When someone pushes your buttons, you have an opportunity to perfect your reactions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may be in a sneaky mood, tempted to put your hand in the cookie jar too many times or indulge yourself in other ways. Everything you do reflects you, even if no one knows.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're giving and giving. The smallest kindnesses always give back tenfold, but not always in the way you expect. This keeps your ego from getting too attached to a reward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If an endeavor is too easy, there's no payoff. So try to see past discouragement and frustration for the reward in your plan. What will it feel like? You're up to this challenge, really you are!
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun's entry into Gemini spices this week up with a little of everything. Yes, everything. You just can't pin down Gemini energy into one flavor. It's like the Ani DiFranco song "32 Flavors," in which she adds "and then some" because 32 is far too low a number to describe the many tones of such a complex mood. The Gemini sun has been accused of being fickle, but he's just in love with wide-open options. Life is a variety pack. Maybe you only eat a bite of each morsel and throw the rest out. It seems wasteful, but it's what's needed to figure things out. What have you kept yourself from because it just seemed too out there, frivolous or inefficient? The other thing that the Gemini sun is in love with is the sound of communication. This week features rapid exchanges of information. Some of it's useful, some isn't. We're trying on different viewpoints for fit, which we may or may not adopt for the long term. No matter. Keep it breezy and light. For now, let life be about new pleasures and delights. Make "No regrets, no guilt" your motto.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Cher's a showgirl at heart. Venus and Uranus give her the electric, razzle-dazzle, impersonator-worthy image that only a select few glam queens can carry off with dignity and grace. The same planetary pair makes unconventional partnerships best for Cher. Her choice of partners always boosts her career. Yet traditional love and marriage proves tricky for this freedom-loving 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!
