As the sun in Leo joins with Venus, we're at our happiest doing what we love. We hope others will like our love child, but do it without guarantees for success. An actor auditions for a part, and keeps auditioning. A producer passes on our song today, but tomorrow we'll write another. We persist — not for approval, but for the joy of creating.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Smart work versus hard work is the game today, and you can guess which side wins out. Those in sales (and when it comes down to it, who is (SET ITAL) not (END ITAL) in sales?) have success with a disarming approach.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you see things differently from how a partner sees them, sometimes that's called a fight, other times, beautiful, life-affirming diversity. A Scorpio person chimes in just when you need it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). By doing your own thing, you're not only pleasing yourself, you may also be building your net worth — and increasing other people's interest in your talent.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You almost unravel a juicy mystery. You don't solve it, though — what would be the fun in that? Tonight, someone is just as interested in you as you are in him or her. Oh, delight!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're better off being an example than trying to make an example of someone else. One way to fight for your principles is to live up to them. And that's the best way now.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 17). You're a dynamo! Your head for business wins you a contract in a matter of weeks. Professional organizations provide the "in" you need to break into the next financial bracket. Relationships need attention in September. Commit to one special love in November. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 24, 10, 44 and 12.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What a flirty mood you're in! Your crazy notions are so adorable to the one who's nuts about you. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) follow your every move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've studied aesthetics — perhaps not formally, but you have superb taste. You want to share your appreciation for fine things with others, but not just anyone. You delight in the company of discerning people.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Still trying to get organized? Don't let it hold you back. There will always be some degree of clutter in your world. Accept it. Use chaos as the background for your formidable talent.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you make a choice, you reject everything that isn't that choice. Such a sacrifice is necessary for you to establish your life's direction once again.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're getting more specific about how your life should go through the end of the month — hopefully the people around you are on the same page. If not, they're about to see your tougher side.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whoever remarked, "The watched pot never boils," didn't know your powers of concentration. You vigilantly observe a project, enjoying each tiny development along the way to your ultimate success.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Gatherings that you plan now will be a fabulous hit. You could get a job out of the whole deal. Tonight, the person you're thinking of is also thinking of you. Pick up the phone.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:
ARIES: What love offers is limitless.
TAURUS: You're tempted to withdraw into a shell, but the people you love need you.
GEMINI: Sandwich serious communication between a silly joke and some laughs.
CANCER: Like money, when you invest in the people and things you care about, they grow.
LEO: Take control of your image by doing your own thing — regardless of how others see you.
VIRGO: Don't hide your light under a bushel. Appreciation is a web of gratitude worth getting all tangled up in.
LIBRA: Your friends are your friends because they bring out the best in you. If they don't, they're not worthy of the distinction.
SCORPIO: You have tons of admirers, but one person's opinion counts most.
SAGITTARIUS: Higher love can't be gotten in a weekend crash course; it's cumulative. And you're moving on up.
CAPRICORN: You believe love changes everything. Now it's time to simply trust it.
AQUARIUS: Make up some new rules for love and break old barriers.
PISCES: Approach every issue from a position of strength, even if you have to make a list of what those are exactly.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: As the Pisces fish swim in two directions, the crosscurrents are strong — she needs a strong spiritual complement. As a match for this quintessential heroine, enter unambiguous straight-shooter Aries, taking swirling Fishes by storm. She swoons. Confident Aries models yang directness, purpose. Pisces reminds Aries that surrender is strength, too — how yin. Their relationship is a yin/yang thing.

|  | 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!
