Orators, speakers, actors, look up! Mercury, the mouth, moves into bravado-loving Leo for the next few weeks, lending conversation a celebratory sparkle and dramatic license to those inclined. We want to toot our own horn, but so does everyone else! William Shakespeare offers clarity: "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice."
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're approachable. You may field a few odd requests because of this. Tonight, you're in the company of fascinating people, raising interesting questions that inspire discussion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The stars highlight your understated allure. Maybe you're even feeling a little shy. It works for you. You attract outgoing people who enjoy trying to make you open up and laugh.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're the blast of fresh air that everyone needs at the party. You sense that you must bring your "A" game to any social event you attend. You don't show up to have fun -- you show up to BE fun.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your home gets your attention, your money and your love. Why not? A comfortable, tranquil escape from the world isn't too much to ask for someone who gives as much as you do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you pass the unfinished business seven times a day and think a negative thought about it, that's seven negative thoughts clogging up your mind. So get the annoyance handled once and for all.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 4). You make stellar choices this year. For instance, you choose to rely on the reliable. Loved ones give you the lift you need in order to do the things you've always wanted to do. The investment you made years ago pays off in September and again in May. You have a heartfelt connection with Capricorn and Pisces people. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 3, 14, 39 and 9.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Every day is important, even lazy, do-nothing, go-nowhere days like today. In fact, doing nothing makes this day even more important. It helps you get perspective.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll recognize relationship options you didn't see before. There is always a choice to retreat or reach out. You'll benefit in ways you never imagined when you reach out, no matter what comes.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You once made room in your heart for a special someone. And even though this person is no longer around, the room remains intact. You'll feel invigorated when you move new energy
into that chamber.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mistakes happen. It's no good dwelling on why it went this way or who is to blame. Better just to shrug it off as "my bad" than to give it any more attention.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Time management gurus teach that the effective way to plan a day is to begin with the end in mind and schedule backward. This works now for work and play alike.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Consider what your most successful actions have been recently. You can apply your winning move in one area of life to another area of life that hasn't been doing so well, thus creating a turnaround.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Streamline your interests. Take a single-minded approach. If you put all of your eggs in one basket, at least you know which basket to guard with your life!
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My boyfriend of almost four years is a Gemini, and I'm a Scorpio. He feels he's always right, and he is manipulative. I'm putting up with his attitude because I love him. He calls me degrading names and puts me down all the time; then he adds that I have to teach my daughter better. He's always yelling and says he'd marry me only if my daughter weren't with me. Recently he said that I should stop seeing him if I don't trust him and won't comply. I have to tiptoe when he's asleep, and he wants me to be working all the time in his house. He verbally abuses me most of the time. Will he really marry me?"
Seriously? You really want him to marry you? My advice to you, dear Scorpio, is to wake up. If you don't leave immediately, you're doing damage to your daughter. By the way, every time your self-esteem, autonomy and dignity are assaulted, hers are, too. Find a counselor, friend or family member who will support you through the process.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Disaster may strike and level a meeker sun sign, but nothing can keep a resilient Leo down for long. Their sense of creative purpose is that strong. Born under the bold entrepreneurial sign of Leo, Martha Stewart may have princess cakes and prison on her resume, yet that strange mix won't keep her loyal fans away. This is another comeback year for Stewart.

|  | "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!
