Mercury, the messenger, crosses the "Home Sweet Home" banner as he transits into the sign of Gemini. (Mercury also rules Virgo, so he has multiple homes and, in that way, is more like a wealthy FedEx entrepreneur than a scout in the mailroom.) This transit brings a witty, erudite vibration to our communication sector.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everybody gets an angel. The stars illuminate yours today -- someone you normally think of as just a plain ole' person. Don't worry about returning favors immediately. You'll have plenty of time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you would like to be on the receiving end of some kind of expansive gesture from the universe -- perhaps a grand prize, a free trip or money in the mail -- instead, it's the small signs that bring great joy and relief.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The tension between family members or close friends affects you indirectly. You're not in your usual place in the eye of the storm; you're just in the storm getting blown about. Still, if you can keep from having to choose sides, you win.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your need to seek order in even the most chaotic situation is endearing. You will find what you seek. Your gift for creating a comfortable environment helps more than just you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're getting closer to someone who fascinates you. Today, you could learn of this person's secret history or get a peek behind the curtain of his or her day-to-day business.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 19). You're a free spirit this year, cutting loose of the ties that have been holding you back. For the next two months, you're exploring new relationships that influence the way you see the world. Investments pay handsomely in July. A move in September is your key to career excellence. Sagittarius and Pisces people are sweet, supportive partners. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 19, 28 and 11.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You see through the bad deals, half-truths and general media trickery you're faced with today. Though many have tried, none have succeeded in disturbing your unshakeable internal logic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some days, your job feels like a business. Today, it feels like an art form. Continue to elevate everyone you contact by believing in the principles that first attracted you to what you're doing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Declarations are lucky, even if you're only declaring them to yourself in the mirror. Stand up, and say why you make your family a better unit, your company a better place, your country great.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The planets align to help you break through a financial plateau. Set firm goals, and then have faith that income from new sources will help speed the process along.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your chemistry is definitely on -- and rather universal, at that. You create sparks with several people, not only one. You may also notice for the first time certain attractive qualities in someone you've known for years.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you working on your ideal day, or are you working on someone else's? The project you complete informs your sense of self. You're getting closer to the person you want to be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Instead of everything coming out right in the end, why not have it go right all along? You deserve a smooth ride, and it's in your power to create one. Go where you feel no resistance.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Tolerance is the name of the game; the more accepting you are, the more you'll be able to see romantic opportunity. TAURUS: Thoughtful conversations will get to the bottom of relationship problems. GEMINI: When you stop to evaluate a relationship's progress, it's amazing. CANCER: You are loving and can prevent someone else's hardship. LEO: Friendship seems like a lifesaver, but remember, a friend is a gift you give yourself. VIRGO: Remember to acknowledge the transitions that loved ones are going through -- moving, having children, graduating, etc. You might also have to do this on behalf of a (forgetful) mate. LIBRA: You can't help but take everything at its deepest meaning, giving rise to strong emotions. SCORPIO: Your romantic principles set the standard for others, so don't settle. SAGITTARIUS: A little compassion goes a long way. You can afford to extend that cranky person a little more slack. CAPRICORN: You might get so wrapped up in possibilities that it's hard to make a decision about love. AQUARIUS: Even when you're trying hard to compromise, your independent spirit prevails. PISCES: A romantic overture throws you temporarily (and delightfully) off balance.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: It's a happy union when Cancer and Libra come together this weekend. Both signs are results-oriented, have fabulous taste and hold partnership sacred. Libra motivates Cancer to get out in the world and connect with other people -- one person can't be the end all be all for another. Cancer helps Libra to appreciate the sanctity of the home, which becomes a kind of temple for their love.

|  | 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!
