As Mars enters Gemini, the erstwhile planet of ego is smart. He doesn't need a reason to be the bomb-diggity, but he'll give you one. Another masculine planet on the scene, Jupiter moves forward after four months retrograde, tempering impetuous intellects with higher thinking. Look for universal truths behind the rhetoric.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Amateurs in your territory will ruffle your feathers. Instead of getting defensive, set a shining professional example. You'll earn respect in a matter of moments.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's no need to over-think things. It's the simple actions that let others know you're a person of character -- like being faithful to your appointments and honoring agreements.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What others might consider puzzling won't be at all difficult for you if you pay attention now. Conversations are revealing. You'll learn all you need to know by listening more than you talk.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Balanced and happy, you send out all the right messages. Your fortune comes to you in direct proportion to your belief about what you deserve and how much you can handle.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In the thick of challenge, you're already a winner. Whether or not you get the result you were going for, you experience moments of fearless rapture -- a prize far more valuable.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 6). It's a year of delightful surprises. Just when you thought you knew what you wanted, you find something even more compelling. The happy accident in the last week of this month proves nothing is beyond your reach. You'll be traveling to make a difference in someone's life in September. Scorpio and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 7, 18, 33 and 50.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You like your friends and colleagues to be honest. But there's a difference between honesty and thoughtless candor, which is a kind of vanity. Keep close to those who are kind, eloquent and civil.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What worked once won't necessarily work in your present scenario. There's always another way to get the job done, and you're the one who thinks of it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's a day of fine distinctions. For instance, are you going with the flow, or just being passive? In your heart you can feel the difference. One has to do with timing, and the other has to do with fear.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Ask loved ones what they need from you. When you cater your gifts to their needs, the result is a feeling of real contribution. But tonight, it's your turn to receive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Yours is a competitive field -- but you wouldn't want it any other way. It takes more than natural talent to win at this game. You're no copycat, but if someone has a success formula, why not use it?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your heart and mind are open. That's both wonderful (anything can happen!) and dangerous (anything can happen!). Get more specific about what you want.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Humans need contact. We need it almost as much as we need water. Being friendly and inclusive -- even to the hermits, grumps and jerks -- is a gesture that has far-reaching benefits.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My boyfriend was born Aug. 26, 1975. I was born Aug. 3, 1977. We're a very boring couple. All he wants to do is watch TV, play video games and eat. I want to travel and enjoy life. We have totally different interests. We say we love each other, but is this relationship going to work, or should I start looking for Mr. Right?"
Relationships need energy to survive. And you, as a high-energy Leo, need to be romanced or whisked away for a night out on a regular basis. Consider this a mandatory requirement, non-negotiable. This isn't about your different interests, it's about needs. Your relationship needs excitement to thrive! As a couple, a trip abroad would do you wonders. Upon your return, you probably wouldn't even recognize yourselves. That said, I'm not convinced he's going anywhere in the immediate future. He has a hard time self-motivating. Like a chronically deflated balloon, shortly after his enthusiasm builds, it deflates. However, when Saturn heads into his sign, Virgo, in September, he'll be called to stand up and answer his life's calling. Decide now whether you're in it for the long haul.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Leos are appreciated for their glamour, good looks and plucky charm -- they're the people we're moved to open doors and roll out the red carpet for simply because they're so great to be around. Charlize Theron is a quintessential Hollywood beauty, approachable and statuesque. If pure glamour is what makes us want to Theron-worship, it's her warm personality that makes this Leo lovely.

|  | 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!
