Happy May Day! Mere decades ago, children were taught that this is the day to place flowers on neighbor's doorsteps, ring and run! Now, in most communities, the day comes and goes without ceremony. May Day is derivative of an ancient celebration called "Beltane," marking the approximate midway mark of the sun's spring journey.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Relationships develop in warp speed. You meet someone, like them, love them, and before you know it, you miss them when they're gone. Luckily, the feeling is mutual.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The world seems to mold to your will. You're not being an egomaniac by thinking so. It's actually happening. You'll have witnesses if you need them. So be sure your will is gentle and uplifting.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your secret to success is clear. Knowing is nothing, unless you apply what you know. This you do so well today that you could be asked to teach others. A Sagittarius is an especially good student.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some relationships are like seaweed. No matter how hard you push them away, they still stick to you. Wonder what your clingy individual sees in you? The answer is flattering.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like a wild rose, in spite of your serene beauty, you're willing to injure in your defense. Issue a fair warning to clueless folks who, as of yet, don't understand the full range of your power.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 1). Welcome to your year of karmic completion. This month, you redeem a few of the "points" you've earned for heavenly acts. Because you let others be themselves and take the compassionate route whenever possible, you're loved and admired. Hone your talent in June. A windfall comes in July. Capricorn and Virgo people dance to your tune. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 5, 1 and 50.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can be confident in your communication skills. You're a master of persuasion. Continue to use stories to illustrate your point -- your telling of them is mesmerizing, entertaining and informative.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're in a whimsical mood, eager to act on whatever moves you from moment to moment. Loved ones who aren't able to follow your spontaneous style are forced to entertain themselves. This may be better, anyhow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll be mixing and mingling with the creme de la creme. Fashion choices could affect your attitude. Think ahead -- make sure you're dressed in a way that makes you feel comfortable among the well heeled.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It's not wrong to want to know (SET ITAL) why (END ITAL), but it's not the best use of your time to figure it out, either. Concentrate on the what, who and how, and the situation gets better right away.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a message to get out to the group. For maximum effect, sail it on the wings of humor. The luckiest people to have around you are friends who make your heart feel like a light helium balloon.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today's hindrances are imaginary or much more easily overcome than you project. A Capricorn helps you keep it "real," and in return, you'll help a Capricorn keep imagination alive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A spotlight illuminates the basic differences between you and a partner. Now, you can see exactly how you complement one another. One picks up where the other leaves off, and you can both do what you're great at.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I was recapping your year-ahead predictions for Libra that were printed in January, and I am not surprised "moving" was in my future. I just had an encounter with my landlord and spent the past two days thinking about moving. I have an Aries rising, and my moon is in Scorpio. My life has been upside down these days. I'm hoping I can get back on track soon. I'm also wondering ... you look like an Aries. Are you?"
I'm a Leo, so we share that fire-sign energy. Aries rules my 8th house of legacies. Thanks for your interest! You might also be interested to know that there are still a few days of Mercury in Aries, and you can take advantage of this by making a decision either way about moving. Moving goes much better when the quick-thinking messenger is working with you to maximize efficiency! Just be sure you're not moving as a knee-jerk reaction to the landlord encounter. I'm sure you've figured out by now that things said under the influence of a hot, Aries temper are often a later source of regret. As for your Scorpio moon, you'll find that your most profound intuition comes to the surface when life is, as you say, "upside down."
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Adorable Kirsten Dunst has the chart of a remarkably grounded Taurus, though she's been a famous movie star since before the age of 12, starring with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in 1994's "Interview With a Vampire." She soon sheds her cutesy persona with a juicy starring performance in Sofia Coppola's highly anticipated "Marie Antoinette," which will bring her critical and public praise.

|  | 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!
