"It's hard to believe it's not summer yet!" cries the Aries moon. Nature, like life, has her seasons, and that timeline, not ours, seasons the eager beaver in each of us. When we yield to our own seasonality, we put one foot in front of the other. Instead of picking the early fruit, we allow the fruit of our lives to ripen and fall. How sweet it is!
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Self-censor? Hah! Without skipping a beat, you say what you mean and mean what you say with energy, enthusiasm and even a little artistic license. Then you take a bow.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have enough courage in your convictions to state them, even if you don't quite have the "why" or "how" down yet. Sometimes you just need to turn on the car and go. Where you'll end up is a fun mystery.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The stars ask you to get more curious about your world, not less. They say curiosity killed the cat, but you're no willy-nilly cat. You're braver and smarter than you think.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Before you place someone else's achievements on a pedestal, take a look at your own. Give yourself credit for something you've done recently that took courage, no matter how large or small. Everything counts.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your precarious balancing act continues. Keep all your balls in the air. You'll settle on one story soon, and once you do, the rest falls into place. Nothing's too far-fetched to consider.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 10). Blow out those candles with resolve! You've reason to believe that with a little effort in the right places you'll nail your birthday wishes. You spend the next five weeks re-examining financial goals. Take a romantic getaway in August. Bust through creative obstacles like gangbusters in September. Aries and Capricorn people believe in you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 31, 1, 9 and 21.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be a busybody. Let off some steam by taking a physical romp or devoting a chunk of time to a project that lifts your spirit. By evening you'll get your glow back.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Any new experiences you share with a partner will cement the relationship like love superglue. The riskier and more outrageously foreign to both of you, the better.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the effort-reward equation of work and life, the effort side is heavy right now. But all this personal sacrifice, if it hasn't yet, soon pays off. Till then, stick by your good habits. They're working.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're all fired up, in hot pursuit of someone who makes your heart do whirlybirds. Even if they're slightly standoffish, your intuition whispers that they like you, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe life doesn't turn out the way you pictured it, but some things are better than you could've ever imagined. When you surrender past dreams, something else appears: appreciation for this precious life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Have energy, will travel. The world's a palace of curiosity and delight. You discover incredible mental chemistry with someone who digs your brainy ways.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If something needs fixing, you're the handyperson for the job. Whether they need a spiritual adviser or a piano mover, you can handle it. Your take-away is immense satisfaction.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The most famous story in the world opens up with that unforgettable line, "In the beginning there was the word ... " Indeed. This week's Gemini new moon provokes dialogue within the four walls of our minds -- and without, in its friendly "talk amongst yourselves" style. So, what's in a word? In a nutshell: power. Words have the power to define, create, uplift, separate and ... begin. They write your todays and tomorrows with intentional elegance or wavering ambivalence. A word is a step in the right direction, or a wrong one. Sometimes it takes saying them before you know whether they're wrong. So choose your words. Write them down. Dance them out. Go to the mountaintop and speak. The Gemini new moon entices you to improvise, to unambiguously experiment with your self-expression. What is the word you stand on? Love? Peace? Joy? You could spend your entire life living by your word, and maybe you already do. If not, start now. "In the beginning there was ... (your word here)."
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Are there more real-life twins born under the sign of the Twins than any other? Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are lovable fraternal Gemini twins who may share the same birthday, but they are not one and the same. They seem identical, but since they're fraternal -- look closely -- they're not. These twins distinguish themselves this year as they choose un-identical movie roles!

|  | 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!
