There are no wasted days if we're present in the fleeting moments. However, Virgo solar energy usually prefers that, at the end of the day, there's something concrete to show for it. The Taurus moon and Virgo sun resonate in melodious tones. Our emotions are flowing in such a way as to support what we want to do with this day.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though your attention span is shorter than usual, you can use this to your advantage. Ask others to give you the condensed version, the bottom line and the heart of the matter.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Possessions have a way of weighing you down now. A recipe for happiness includes getting rid of 10 things you don't need (and maybe didn't even remember you had) before sundown.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Cheerfulness is undervalued in this age, but not by you. You see how important it is to keep the morale of the group up. In the process, you cultivate even greater powers of charm than you already possess.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Every day is a new chance to get it right. This is especially true in your relationship with a loved one. Past mistakes are water under the bridge. Chances are you're both ready to start clean.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can find the sunbeam of hope on any cloudy day. You'll be helping others who aren't so gifted in the area of optimism, which is both a talent and a learned response.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 10). You're not easily impressed, but this year brings extraordinary gifts, indeed! Your personal life gets new energy this month with the addition of fun friends and an exciting hobby. A financial boost in November helps you make a change in January. Wedding bells ring in February. Cancer and Gemini people easily connect with you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 11, 8 and 35.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your need for structure clashes with your need for variety. Variety is hard to organize. Bits of life fall into unruly, hard-to-define categories. You might have to turn off your brain in order to enjoy this so-called spice of life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). After supposedly learning your lesson, you make the same choice over and over again. So the lesson you learned isn't the one you thought you learned, but it's still a good lesson worth pondering.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll find yourself refreshed by the presence of fellow water signs, Cancer and Pisces. Together you create the proverbial rising tide that carries all ships.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mix and mingle with the fun people. It seems there's not a problem in your heart that can't be overshadowed, if not overcome, by the right music, fine food and jovial company.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Many people act as though the pursuit of success, possessions and accomplishment is somehow boring or contemptible -- usually, the most successful, rich and accomplished people. Ignore them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Serious has a time and place -- this isn't it. The planets show you determined to be uplifted by your life. If one person disappoints you, move on to the next, or better yet, to a book.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your intellect is stimulated by humor. You'll be around those who make you laugh, but you're the funniest. Start the mood and watch how others carry it through the day.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: What if you were required by law to act on every promise that escaped your lips? What if your suggestions were all put into motion, your proposals accepted and your casual pledges taken in the manner of solemn oaths? Sound dreamy? Nightmarish, more likely. Mercury, the messenger, and Mars, the warrior, are joined closely in Libra all week. These planetary positions ask us to consider the relationship between words and action. Words without action are meaningless. Action without words lacks influence, as it's up to everyone to interpret in their own way. The stars promise luck in both the love and career realms for those who consider the power behind their own stream of nouns, verbs and adjectives. (And for extra star-points, ponder that magical force called silence, too.) Another significant transit this week involves our lady of love, Venus, who is traipsing through Virgo in opposition to Uranus in Pisces. Romance is no easy road. If it were, it wouldn't be very romantic. So the heart-pounding surprises, the thrilling dips and dives of the ego and the unexpected complications in the plot of love are all part of its spellbinding magic.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Chris "Ludacris" Bridges is a typical Virgo -- happiest when extremely productive. He's a multiplatinum rap artist embracing all his artistic options, exemplified by his recent foray into the Academy Award-winning film "Crash" and Emmy-winning TV series "Law & Order: SVU." This rapper/actor/mogul-in-the-making will again hit the top of the charts with his upcoming recording "Release Therapy."

|  | 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!
