Gather your thought seedlings as the breezy Gemini moon moves into nurturing Cancer. Tend those ideas like you would a garden. Water the good ones with inspiration, and use the discarded ones for rich fertilizer. There's no need to eliminate one for the other; it's all in the mix because this Cancer moon is extraordinarily resourceful.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your work will be art when it's done. But right now it's still in progress. Genius will be arrived at once you've completed myriad tweaks, fixes and alterations. Tinker away.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Thoughts about the house, the car and the ability to pay your credit card at the end of the month supersede everything love-related. Until tonight. Blow it all off and do something lavishly romantic.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're a minimalist at heart. All you need is a purpose and a cell phone. But it doesn't hurt to also have a posse you can share your good news with at the end of the day.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone crass may be distracting you from your high-minded pursuit. Look at this as a test of your fortitude. Keep going. Do your best to ignore the fact that we're one chromosome away from primates.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Yes, there are a few loveable flubs you'll have to deal with, but so what? You can't expect yourself to be fabulous at everything. Revel in your experiments. Find the fun in your flops.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 12). You're living by your own rules this year. The many challenging adventures you embark on sharpen your skills. Loved ones who have been less than supportive see the error in their ways. Someone's belief in you helps you attain what you've wanted for many years. You have a sweet connection with Gemini and Leo people. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 43, 28, 36 and 33.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Enjoy a neutral state of non-judgment. Getting too emotionally involved would be counterproductive to the tasks at hand, which are even more important than usual and might include saving the galaxy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Friends ask you to mediate or give advice because they know you'll be fair. It's nice to be respected. If they actually do what you tell them to do, their problem will go away.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Could you go an entire day without uttering the word "I"? If you could, your selflessness would paradoxically promote your cause quite well. Be an invisible supporter of others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don't have to look for trouble; it finds you. Be astute -- it might be disguised as someone knocking at your door with flowers and candy. In which case, you'll know not to invite it in.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life's biggest challenge is convincing yourself you are who they think you are. After all, you said you were who they think you are, so you must have believed it at some point.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your needs are important. Act on them now. If you wait too long, the opportunity is lost and you'll find yourself pampering others instead. Out-of-town guests are a possibility.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some consider you a guru. This isn't what you wanted when you asked the powers that be to make you wise. Once you step off the pedestal others have placed you on, you start having more fun.
ASTROLOGICAL TOPIC: THE NEW MOON IN CANCER. Moon-watching is food for thought, as Saturday's Cancer new moon is upon us already, and it's a powerful time for tuning in to the rhythm of what comes next. Cancer's timing is predictable and basic. She magnetizes our physical bodies to plant and grow roots for our familial and vegetable gardens. I think she's just a farm girl at heart, a simple gal who knows when to water and when to wait, when to pick the ripe fruit and when to let it fall and rot. I call her simple, but she's no plain Jane. Ancient Cretan moon goddesses were sculpted with snakes and bulls. The snake is the mysterious animal associated with death and transformation; the bull, with abundant resources. Her ability to thrive in life and death, to be continually reborn, is an internal process of the psyche, and that's why psychotherapy is Cancer's realm. To live in "lunar consciousness" is to slow down and listen to the pitter-patter of your insides, to notice the rise and fall of your own soul-movements. Carve out a chunk of "me" time, and notice your outflow and inflow. The Cancer new moon knows that without first emptying we can never truly be full.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Happy belated birthday to celebrity's favorite designer Giorgio Armani. If the best designers design the clothes of today with an eye for the past, then Armani's retrograde Mercury in Cancer gives his designs a maverick edge and makes his ideas totally unique. In fashion, what comes around goes around. Expect fresh, bold, exciting back-to-the-future designs from Armani this year.

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | 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!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | 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!
