The Leo moon is a showboat, lit up with multicolored lights, blasting dance music through a cosmic loudspeaker, interrupting anything peaceful and calm (how boring!) about our lives. The diversion is welcome for the most part. There's no cover charge to the hottest party in town, and the phone rings with fantastic gossip and ideas.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be lavishing affection and expecting to get some of it back. Love is always reciprocated, but it's not always reciprocated from the same source as it is directed. Be patient and open-minded.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). At some time or another, everyone makes terrible mistakes they would unmake if they could. You're just glad it's not you this time! Your forgiveness and compassion are a healing balm.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Cut yourself some slack. Your every move is not being evaluated, except by you. Prospective romantic companions will come on strong. If flowers, jewels or chocolate is involved, you're sunk.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're capable of remarkable feats. Interests involving art, sculpture and architecture are featured, and meeting with other enthusiasts will produce exciting results.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Asking in the right way brings instant results. While others have to wait, you'll be enjoying preferential treatment. On the flip side, infractions of etiquette will be remembered, so if there's doubt, find out the rules.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 4). The news goes from good to great this year as you capitalize on every grand opportunity. Your best interests are being served, especially through personal relationships in the next 10 weeks. An environment makeover in July attracts the right kind of attention to your projects. Travel in October. Cancer and Sagittarius people cheer you on. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 19, 30, 22 and 41.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You take your project to a wider audience. Target individuals who are as passionate about making a difference as you are. Otherwise, you're met with many an apathetic or baffled response.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The world is still waiting for the mathematical theory of everything, but when the next scientific genius cracks the code, it still won't tell us why some people lose their cool and others, like you, don't -- even on hectic days like today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is magic in your mishaps. Though you know what you want and choose accordingly, each new decision brings a bouquet of unintended, but delicious, consequences.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today, you find out that it's actually wonderful to have a "foe." This challenging person really isn't your enemy, but is more like the opposing force that helps you to improve your position.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You cope with the complexities of the modern age by learning on the fly. Not a moment too soon! You may see yourself as running to catch up with technology, but you're far ahead of most people.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maintain your innocence. Refuse to listen to jaded people. With your wide-eyed point of view, you detect more opportunities and threats than those with tunnel vision will ever see.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're sensitive to the nuances of interpersonal communication -- the subtle gesture and vocal inflection that will tell all. You can use this skill for profit today.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Should I go back to school to become a veterinarian? It's costly and takes almost as long as becoming a doctor of humans does. I want to be really sure that I'm making the right decision. My birthday is Feb. 3, 1966."
Your Aquarius sun sign is noted for having an unusual rapport with animals. You may easily sense a pet's changing moods or health before they display any outward sign, or perhaps, you have a special calming effect on the animals you're around. Your horoscope shows a Cancer moon -- the epitome of sensitivity, nurturing and pleasures of the home (including animal's homes). Veterinary school is not the only area of work involving animals in which you would be terrific, and in fact, you might do better as an animal trainer, rescuer or wildlife specialist (perhaps as a caregiver who prepares wild animals for return to their natural habitats, or rescuing birds or sea mammals harmed by oil spills and other hazards of the deep). With Mars in laid-back, artistic Pisces, you could derive satisfaction, and perhaps income, from animal-and nature-related art or music you create, as well. Get a job in a veterinary clinic, as a receptionist or anything at all, for at least four months before you make a decision about school.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Former 'N SYNC-er Lance Bass has wisely taken a break from the spotlight the past few years -- Taurus people rarely get off-center, because they intuitively know that breaks such as this restore energy and ground priorities in what's real. In years to come, I see Bass surprising fans with a fresh new sound that will force audiences to accept him as a serious artist.

|  | 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!

| | My name is Michelle Turley and I'm 28 years old. I live in Severance with my hubbie, Brandon. We have 2 dogs and a cat. We enjoy camping, four-wheeling, and just being in the mountains. I like to cook, clean (go figure), flea market, and play poker. I have so much to say about poker... | |
