Teen spirit is present in more than just the age-appropriate candidates now, as Uranus in Pisces screeches to a halt, turning retrograde. In ephemeral Pisces, Uranus has been stirring up yearnings for freedoms bigger than what we can see, taste and touch. Liberation is a rarified state of being. If you have the itch, scratch it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are so many ways to go about improving yourself. But remember, it's not how many ideas you have; it's how many you make happen. A Libra person is your ally.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone from your past calls, recalling old ghosts. It's clear you don't relish the same things about your shared experiences. But you can learn from this discrepancy of vision.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Unfinished tasks prey on your psyche with the persistence of pesky mosquitoes. Just say "no" to social obligations until you've handled everything that's distracting your attention.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're a brilliant negotiator now. With your honey-toned voice you speak the language of diplomacy. In other words, you say what the other guy wants to hear. Agreement is reached by sundown.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's no shame in not knowing. But an opportunity to step into knowledge is too good to miss. Admit where there are holes in your learning and the right teacher appears, as if by magic.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 23). Your resources double this year! Work gets easier, and youíll see ways of making more with the same amount of effort. Short trips will prove to be fruitful in October. In September, singles get swept up in a beautiful relationship that is also practical. Couples resolve issues, and their union gets sweeter. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 10, 4, 47 and 20.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Without daring, dreams are hardly worth dreaming. Spend time with friends who have, in your estimation, "arrived." This will inspire you to purge mediocre goals in favor of a glorious and golden future.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You afford talented people a great deal of leeway because you're so darned entertained by their presence in your life. As your signmate Oscar Wilde once declared, "Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace."
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're asking those questions again -- the ones that don't have answers. There's a fine line between existing in a state of wonder, and a state of confusion. Trade you queries in for statements. Focus on what you know.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The harder you are to reach, the more others want to touch you. Pulling yourself out of the fray and into your own private adventure makes you all the more desired.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Kind thoughts, which used to come naturally, may now, in light of your conflicted feelings for someone, require prodding. Your relationship will be much better because you force yourself to think of something nice.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're not complaining -- no way. You realize that you're among the blessed few who enjoy more of a good thing than you'll ever need. Look for beneficiaries who can use your charity.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The task before you is hard work, and you're ready. This is also the perfect litmus test for your team members. How do they react to the challenge? Do they turn up their sleeves, or turn up their noses?
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: Uranus moves retrograde. Uranus in Pisces is a big barreling revolutionary wave. As Uranus retrogrades (moves more slowly) over the next five months, you may eventually find yourself on a different beach, metaphorically speaking, of course, with no clue as to how you arrived. That's OK. From the ocean's perspective, all grains of sand (ego) are moved by the tide, certainly not by their sand-self. Uranus is the sky god, sending inspired ideas to humanity to the tune of sudden shifts rippling through the mass consciousness. (Think Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" for the lightening-bolt affect of Uranus.) Uranus is inspiring in the same way you're inspired to escape the electric chair. No kidding. You're in a hot seat, and it's very uncomfortable. The only way to get out of that seat is to start tearing at the chains that bind you. The irony is, "the chair" isn't life-threatening, but it feels like it. The more restricting it feels, the more life-threatening it becomes. Not everyone will feel Uranus retrograde dramatically, but we all recognize great discomfort precedes great progress. So if you're already a change-maker, chill out, slow down with your planet. If you're not, unbuckle your seatbelt. Take a few more liberties on this freedom ride.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Juliette Lewis likes complication. It's a must for the characters she's played in "Cape Fear" and "Natural Born Killers." "I always look to play complicated characters. I like to emote." And Cancers emote more than most. Lewis' Venus in Cancer earns her rebellious wild ways from Uranus, the shock planet. As lead singer of Juliette and the Licks, she shoots from the hip like the liberated soul she is.

|  | 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!
