These are the last days of the season. It burns like a candle on its last inch of wax — one sputter and it's out. You can create good fortune by using the final hours of the solar transit as you might use the final hours of a vacation, making sure to fit in the activities that can only be experienced in that one certain place in time.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're smart. That's why, when people ask you questions, you can immediately spot the hidden, or not-so-hidden, agenda. You're bold enough to point this out, too!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You form part of the scenery that others look at through the day -- and a lovely part of it, indeed! If you needed an excuse to spend some time and money on yourself, chalk it up to beautifying the environment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If your organization level is not what you need it to be in order for your schedule to run smoothly, today's stars illuminate the gaps so you can fix them. Your goal is to spend zero time looking for things!
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Compromise may not make anyone happy. Somehow you find a way to use what pleases others to please yourself, too. You're building bridges to get from "their" agenda to your agenda.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's not the spring of hope, nor is it the winter of despair. It's the messy season in the middle, during which you're not sure how to feel. No worries -- your complicated mood makes you so intriguing!
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 20). You never get too comfortable this year, as life keeps you guessing. Amazing turnarounds and surprising events are sprinkled throughout the fall. What you once thought was an irreversible trend changes in November. It's an exciting holiday season, filled with amore. Follow through on your business idea -- June brings a windfall. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 46, 38 and 11.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your standards may be high, but they're yours. The less than acceptable things you tolerate every day have a subtle, depressing effect on your morale. Get them handled!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's no secret that you deliberate decisions longer than most people would. If you had to overcome all of your own objections, you'd never do anything. Stop worrying. Think: forward, forward, forward!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Words of encouragement may fuel friendship, but that doesn't necessarily mean words of discouragement engender foe-ship. It's appropriate to discourage your friends when what they're doing is harmful.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Honor your fantasies by giving them space, time and attention. Nurturing this part of yourself makes relationships better and gives depth to your work, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The future is right now. You get the message loud and clear -- and this important communication probably comes through a family member or close female friend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's hard to be honest with friends, especially the sensitive ones -- history proves they can't take the smallest dose of their own medicine. Your excellent sense of timing and characteristic levity does the trick.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Colleagues could treat you as a freshman -- how annoying, especially considering you're the one with all the experience. Focus on what you know. They'll come around.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Sagittarius, born Nov. 24, 1967. Every time I fall for someone, they just don't feel the same way. Anyone who seems to be interested in me is often rather boring. For years I've had strong feelings for an on-again-off-again boyfriend — a Gemini. When I'm ready to give up trying, he makes moves, including proposing having a child with me, which he later took back. Meanwhile, I've developed strong feelings for his best friend, also a Gemini. Astrologically speaking, do I have a chance with either of them? Are the stars conspiring against me when it comes to love?"
Now why would the stars conspire against you? What have you ever done to them? (Besides blame them for your crummy love life ... ) What I really see in you, dear Sag, is a person who's meant to be having a much bigger adventure. Your astrological chart looks like the chart of an international superspy from "Mission Impossible." Bouncing between two Gemini men (who have so much in common that they may as well be the same person) is a tedious distraction from the life you really want to lead.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Nicole Richie has changed her look and polished her image, and is now busily doing what Virgo girls do so well — planning. She won't rest until she's surpassed others in her celebutante category, creating successful multimedia enterprises. This Virgo beauty practically lives her entire life in front of the camera. What refreshes her, though, is that she seems to enjoy it— even revel in it.

|  | 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!
