Dish up some advice. As the moon moves through Sagittarius toward Capricorn, crazy optimism, options and opinions abound. But not too crazy. The Capricorn moon has the practical know-how of your favorite advice columnist, the one with that special gift for opening the ceiling on your thinking while keeping your head intact.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Passion tends to make you hotheaded. Cool down. Be thoughtful. Everything will work out, as long as you avoid issuing an ultimatum and consult your partner before making a joint purchase.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll hear prophetic murmurings. Hop to action, even if it seems like doing so would be an overreaction. Take care of wee disturbances before they turn into big problems.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you're determined to sample life's variety now, you figure it can't hurt to try just about everything at least once. You're divinely directed in pursuits of fun and profit.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're throwing out tons of ideas. Don't be afraid of the wrong ones. Right ideas still have to be proved, whereas wrong ones are already proved. Guaranteed, they lead you closer to your solution.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Social responsibility is the theme. You simply couldn't bear to stand by and let the bad guys win. When others see you making a difference, they follow your lead.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 26). You're listening to the voice of your heart this year. Keep raising your sights, and you'll discover you're capable of more than you ever gave yourself credit for. Someone you've sought out becomes enamored with you. September is so romantic. Financial prospects multiply in October because you're willing to risk. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 22, 40, 31 and 27.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feel like doing nothing? Revolt against the notion instead. Action changes your feelings. Your smile will be the source of your joy and not the other way around.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Making money depends on providing what a lot of people might provide, but in a way that only you provide it. Charm is your chief asset -- spread it on thick.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A part of your life that was once electrifying is now a bit dull. You can move on without feeling defeated. There's a reason lightning doesn't strike the same tree twice. That tree is gone the second time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you don't have time to relax, take it as a sign that you should relax. Think of it as prevention, and also as pleasure. The best things in life are things you don't have time to do, but do anyway.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). They'll try to tell you that one chance is all you get, but in fact you'll have endless chances. So give it your best shot. If you miss, you can use what you learn to do better next time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everything, big and small, matters. What is done contributes to the big picture almost as much as what's left undone. Load up your list, and tackle whatever you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your ideas deserve respect. Arrange to have someone go before you to build you up. It helps you command the attention you'll need to properly make your point.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: Venus moves retrograde -- The shadow of love is near, as tomorrow the goddess of love takes a backward dip in Virgo, then Leo, for introspective changes of heart. In world myths, when Venus disappears behind the sun for six weeks, she journeys into the underworld. When Sumerian Venus, Inanna, visited her jealous underworld sister Ereckigala she was stripped of her jewels, clothes and her husband! Venus overly identified with beautiful things and love relationships at the expense of her sister, and lost everything. This is why astrologers say Venus retrograde isn't the best time to start a relationship, buy luxury items or have cosmetic surgery. Hopefully your love life won't resemble a "Desperate Housewives" episode, but you'll have the opportunity to untangle knotty thorns in your relationship and to re-evaluate your agreements. You'll make new observations about how you relate to others. Instead of rushing out to satisfy your desire for ideal love and beauty, turn within. Ask yourself: Am I in a balanced relationship? Is what I'm buying worth its actual price? Reflective solitude is good heart therapy for Venus in Virgo/Leo retrograde, which asks us to not compulsively grasp love and beauty, but to integrate it internally.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Middleclass nobility wears thin for the aristocratic Leo, who soon evolves into head of a tribe. Mick Jagger is the rock 'n' roll chieftain, appropriately knighted by the British monarchy for his "services to popular music." For Jagger, there's nothing finer than roaming around as king of the jungle, with his loyal band members and fans, and shaking his colorful tail feather proudly.

|  | 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!
