Happy Independence Day, America! Holiday fireworks display the world in a magical light, one far more interdependent than independent. From the Pisces moon's perspective, everything is connected -- from our delicate ecosystem to our livelihood to the oneness we feel looking at the sky. We may be independent, but we're not alone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Is it optimism or delusion that keeps you so productive? If you overestimate what you can do, you'll be in the ballpark of reality. In the evening light, weaknesses are strengths and strengths are superpowers.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The same message keeps popping up in different forms. Don't dismiss any small details or silliness. Foolish people aren't unwise, just lighter in their approach.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you didn't let the past color your behavior, you'd be a fool. But there's a fine line to walk here. Review your recent actions to be certain that you're responding, not automatically, but specifically to the situation at hand.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You find ways to shine even in the most ordinary of situations. As for your special talent, you're really good. And here's the bonus: People tell you you're really good.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep financial matters out of polite conversation. The dollar-figure details will be a bore to those who have money, and a point of envy to those who don't. Besides, there's no money in poetry, or poetry in money.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 4). You're guided this year by strong forces within you and by angelic benefactors around you. You're traveling in style in August, seeing parts of the world you've wanted to see for a long time. A diligent team effort will be rewarded with a dream come true in September. You have an especially tight bond with Aries and Gemini people. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 22, 15, 38 and 26.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Why make a list, when everything you need to do is immediate? Your day is a series of "now" moments, well used. You wisely realize that procrastination ruins opportunities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The quality of your undivided attention is a rare gift that a cherished few get to experience. You listen to people, and they come alive under the nourishment of your attention.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Part of you is ready to escape, play and flirt! The other part of you sees that there is still much to wrap up before you're free to whoop it up. Your sense of duty kicks in strongly this afternoon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though it seems everything has a price, it's really an emotional price, not a dollar amount, that keeps the world spinning 'round. So forget about the money. Decide what the money means.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There's a change in the way you frame your scene. Your attitude is getting more buoyant by the day! Mishaps turn into miracles. Instead of saying, "Oops!" you say, "Wow!"
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your hunches take you so far off the beaten path, you don't even see the trail anymore. You're wandering in the forest of your imagination, and that's where the adventure begins.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'd rather plan a surprise for someone else than be on the receiving end of one. Fortunately, a friend knows you well and will delight you with today's unexpected pleasure.
ASTROLOGY AND FOOD: Back in the day, astrologers weren't only diviners of the future, they were lifestyle physicians. In ancient Rome, Greece and Renaissance Italy, your astrologer read your future and made suggestions for your longevity. Try eating by your sun or moon sign to improve your well-being! Leo: The Lion is the gourmet of the fire signs. Leo figures, if you're going to eat caviar, make it Beluga, top of the line. Fancy dinners are fab, especially meals with many courses, like French fare. To feel your finest, eat like royalty! The more festive and fun the atmosphere, the happier you are. Dining with a Leo? Be sure to order celebratory champagne. Virgo: Virgo has a sensitive digestive tract, and overeating causes physical distress. The purer and simpler the food, the more it agrees with the belly and vitality. Vitamin- and mineral-dense foods like veggies and whole grains are fabulous for you. Of all signs, Virgo's digestion is most suited to handle whole grain (rice, rye, millet, spelt). But processed foods are a no-no. Any food that's been mechanically altered doesn't follow your digestive (and life) guideline: purity. Libra and Scorpio tomorrow!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Is there any truth to the tabloid rumors that Tom Cruise keeps his wife, Katie Holmes, under house arrest? He may be protectively possessive of the people he cares about, but Cruise isn't a controlling guy. With his sun, moon and three asteroids in Cancer, he's a family man concerned mainly with providing for his brood. The biggest pressure he faces this year is the media's attention to his marriage.

|  | 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!
