The moon in Leo celebrates fatherhood, while Saturn highlights the lessons of the role. Pope John XXII said, "It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father." Fathers reflect solar values of integrity, kindness and self-respect. If Dad gave those to us, we can count ourselves among the fortunate and blessed.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It may be counterintuitive, but more preparation doesn't necessarily lead to better performance. Sometimes you psych yourself out, or spend your energy prematurely. There's genius in winging it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Include others in your fun and work. You'll be doing them a favor. Being useful to others is a huge ego boost. Letting someone serve you may be the best gift you could give them now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your so-called support group feels more like a bring-you-down group. You've no chance to be needy because you're so needed. In a weird way, this is better. You're learning your own strength.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could wile away hours on philosophical matters, but practical matters also need your attention. Take care of your stuff, so it'll be there for you when you need it, ready to do what you need it to do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your self-esteem is bolstered by hanging out with your best friend -- you. At least that's how it should be. Do your own thing. Seize the opportunity to fly solo and under the radar.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 17). You're only getting better. Sometimes this requires hard work, but this year you're effective and efficient in your approach to self-improvement. The money you've waited for comes this month. Romance busies your schedule. There's a vacation to remember in July. Your connections with Leo and Virgo people bring much excitement. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 39, 25, 3 and 18.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Celebration is an essential part of productivity. Tonight features momentous exhilaration as your plan comes together. Take the credit you're due, and ride this wonderful feeling for all it's worth.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's easy to get overwhelmed by all there is to know about your latest project. But a few well-honed questions to your resident know-it-all will produce surprisingly bountiful springs of information.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You encourage your friend and hope she might change. But ultimately, there are only two choices: surrender to unconditional love, or go in a separate direction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today features the best kind of dilemma -- the kind that's easily solved. Amazingly, you don't even need to buy anything to do this. What you have is what you need.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sure, you're doing a lot of the same things you did last week. But make no mistake -- this is a unique time in your life. The moments you are sailing through can never be experienced the same way twice.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because you're so realistic, others want to pitch in and help you. There's something to be said for having a concrete goal in mind. Everyone wants to share in that satisfaction.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What little you really need out of life you can provide for yourself. The stable and empowered feeling that comes from this realization is a love magnet. Autonomy is ultra-attractive.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun's entry into Cancer this week marks the Summer Solstice, that special time of year to honor the harvest season. The summer's harvest is succulent -- we buy the sweetest berries at the grocer and enjoy the best life has to offer. Enjoy, enjoy, while knowing nothing lasts forever. Clinging to the nostalgia of summertime innocence stymies that Cancer destiny in each of us, eternal change, over and over. When the Cancer sun yields to change, she transforms the beautiful blossom into a nourishing piece of fruit. Her willingness to shift with the seasons makes her life sustainable. But it also makes her extremely sensitive. Cancer feels the ups, downs and in-betweens. The speed bumps feel like mountains; the potholes, valleys. To survive gracefully, the sun in Cancer learns to harmonize with the time of life she finds herself in -- her environment, people and place. A secret to creative cooking (a Cancer joy!) is pairing vegetables seasonally. A rutabaga and rhubarb do not work, but rhubarb and strawberries do. More Cancer common sense: Follow Mother Nature's cues. Honor the past, but don't bind yourself to it. Be gentle. Live creatively and simply in the season of life in which you find yourself.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: We all have a critic inside, but letting the critic call the shots is a dangerous proposition for most. Not for Roger Ebert. When this Gemini opines on movies, we listen. His planet Saturn (aka everyone's critic) is in "it's all relative" Gemini, where he investigates the facts before giving the thumbs-up. This year, Ebert earns himself a big thumbs-up for focusing on his health and healing.

|  | 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!
