The Gemini sun's energy combines with the spiritual Pisces moon-vibration to ask the classic question once sung by Jewel, a young Gemini: "Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?" One move -- a gesture, even -- may be all it takes to start the ball rolling toward salvation. A good place to start is in deciding to like yourself for the day.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're having a good time. Changing a few of your thought patterns could allow you to have an even better time, though. Sometimes, beliefs keep you from knowing what is really true.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The excitement of a recently sealed deal drives your day. Preparations are numerous -- too numerous to list, but the more you write down, the more you get done.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you often find yourself saying the word "no," you're probably in the wrong situation. This is a wonderful time to separate yourself from a negative dynamic. You also have luck in attracting an agreeable partner.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Talking with a mentor or respected friend about perplexing matters produces answers -- it's like this person places a powerful monocle on your "mind's eye."
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Invest in yourself. The coming week brings opportunities for the spotlight. Being ready makes the difference. Have door-to-door driving directions in hand, knowing what you're going to wear and, of course, what you're going to say.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 21). You discover new people and projects to care about this year, and consequently, you have more love to give to your inner circle, too. A long-held wish comes true in the next seven weeks. Changes on the job in June lead to a location change. Finances are flush in the late summer -- invest to stay up. Libra and Pisces people are particularly inspired by you. Lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 25, 11 and 50.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're going to have to learn to relax sooner or later -- sooner is better. With the right mindset, the plateau you hit today allows you the time to get your thoughts in order.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Assume nothing. Knowing what you don't know is the key to your success. "We dance around the ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows." -- Robert Frost
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sweet arrangements get sweeter with the involvement of a Gemini. Also note: The endeavor that you believe has nothing to do with money will be the most lucrative for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). All it takes is one fond thought to bring the energy of romance roaming through your world again. You may not be in the mood for socializing, but participate anyway. Soon, you're uplifted by the attention you receive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Love comes with other perks. Think of all the people you've met through one key relationship. These friendships will continue to develop through the interesting upcoming events of your personal life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're not as interested in self-improvement as you are in allowing others to improve you -- after all, why not leave it to the professionals? Ask for referrals. Blind appointments or dates are not favored now.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your eye for trends will be put to good use. Read, have conversations and put out your feelers. There's something brimming on the financial front. If you're observant, you can ride this wave with much success.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Though we're headed toward summer, yesterday, the sun traipsed into the heady sign of Gemini like a bright young student on the first day of prep school. There's a tweedy freshness to the days -- a cool, structured, intellectual charm. It's as though life itself is a glorious study, each block of knowledge building on the last. Confusion and ignorance lifts like the fog before your first class on an early spring morning. When you don't know what to do, learn one thing. About anything. This opens your mind. Before you know it, "anything" leads to "everything," and "everything" leads to the one thing you need to know in order to move closer to your heart's desire. This week also features the start of this year's Neptune retrograde. Call it a sabbatical. Neptune, who rules the land of imagination and the spiritual realm, is a kind of art teacher. So it's part of his job to stay inspired. He finds his inspiration by backtracking through what he's just seen, lacing together details and garnering deeper insights on the second pass. During this first week of his five-month backward journey, you, sensitive reader, will review what's in your own imagination, pulling new meaning from your dreams, fantasies and the stories you tell yourself.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: For Naomi Campbell, the cameras are always on, and the world is her runway. All of her moves are documented -- both good and bad -- which is why this mischievous Gemini sometimes gets into trouble. I see a calmer, more together Campbell resurfacing at the end of the year, with a renewed focus on her inner beauty, allowing her supermodel star to shine even brighter.

|  | 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!
