As Mars moves into earthy Taurus, we're invigorated by the many sensations our bodies can experience. The desire to feel connected to living things on a visceral level is a driving force. Mars in Taurus also tests our persistence. How determined are you to stay on purpose? If it's worth working toward and waiting for, it's worth having.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Right now moneymaking projects are a matter of motivation, not money. Plant rewards along the way. Sometimes a dangling carrot is just what the donkey needs to move.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your two-month battle with inertia is over -- err, almost. Stay strong and stubborn till the end. Stare 'em down, or just refuse to budge. You're almost there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Frustration looms, but never fully reveals. Irritation can't be pinned down. You feel like you're at the mercy of strange forces acting on you in unseen ways. It's coming from inside.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're surrounded by celebratory spirits who want only the best for you. When they get a little rowdy and spill their drink on you, laugh it off. This is the kind of mess that makes life fun.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a very romantic time for you. Share secret hopes and goals with a new love, and you grow closer. You're in the process of making an important relationship decision.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 24). It's a year of believing -- in yourself, your mission and your team. This month your snap judgments turn out to be amazingly true. It's so fortuitous to act on them! There's a windfall in August. A relationship gets more serious in September, which affects your living arrangement. Scorpio and Sagittarius people are creative touchstones. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 35, 40 and 5.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's a right time to start a conversation and a wrong time. Positively, if you have no investment in the outcome, it's always the right time. Otherwise, use your intuition to gauge whether someone's available.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A gripe is like a stubborn stain. Get to it right away and it's not permanent, but let it fester and it sticks around. Hear a loved one's grievance out now. Even if you don't like what you hear, address it so you can move on.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If someone can't come to you, meet him or her halfway. It promotes the spirit of cooperation in all your relationships. And if you can meet all resistance in that spirit, the next six weeks are more manageable.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You've got a handle on what's important to you and what you want. Now you have to prove to yourself that you can really have it. As your energy fades, dip into that energy of desire. Let it ignite the work ahead of you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Working diligently on your own project is great. But with just one other person working alongside you, it's heaven. This is one of those sweet times when your partner wants what you want, too. Enjoy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The weight of the world can feel crushing if you think you're the one holding it on your shoulders. Release yourself of the burden. The world has been keeping its place in orbit quite nicely on its own.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're happy to tell someone what to do and how to do it. You could come off as bossy. Or you could come off as headstrong and productive. It's a fine line. And you'll navigate it gracefully.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: This week's full moon in Capricorn is the first full moon after the summer solstice, the seasonal halfway point for 2007. The Capricorn moon lends an ambitious energy to the "summertime ... and the living is easy" Cancer sun. School's out for kids, who now settle into leisurely wonder: fireflies, swimming pools and icy lemonade. Their parents vaguely remember unstructured free time! Like good stewards of time (and their kids' minds), the parental Capricorn moon plans and organizes the coming months. We want to make sure we have something to show for ourselves, that the results of our efforts will nourish autumn projects -- and still have enough time to reminisce and daydream. Mercury retrograde in Cancer drifts on free-floating memories, imaginative associations and feel-good vibes. With Cancer, family has something to teach. And so do historical novels, genealogy charting and anything old-fashioned, like Grandma's cookies and stories. Venus and Neptune also play a part in the week -- a dreamy spiritual heroine romancing the mood. Sweethearts fall in love. New relationships float on a wing and a prayer, while longtime partners renew their vows under summer's bright promise.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: When George Michael croons "Careless Whispers" through the radio, we relive memories, the gift of the Cancer sun. Michael also has a smattering of planets in introspective Virgo, including the moon, indicating that he loves his privacy. If Michael hadn't become famous for his song, his chart reveals that he would have made a good public servant.

|  | 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!
