Oh, Venus! Oh, Mars! Why do you fight so? When you square off like argumentative parents at odds over the correct manner of raising your earthly children, we can't help but bristle. Though the errors of loved ones overshadow your own mistakes, resist the urge to point your finger. Handle your own mess first.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's a burst of music in your heart today -- maybe this has something to do with a new Pisces acquaintance. Use the inspiration as a soundtrack for your next (rather dramatic) move.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A Spanish proverb states: "God comes to see you without ringing the bell." Well, he (or she) is not the only one. Run the vacuum cleaner so you'll be ready.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have major mojo, which you can use to influence an impossible situation. You're so lucky now that merely postulating is enough to make it so. Wield your power responsibly.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The risk is apparent. You know exactly what is at stake. When there are those around you who won't take the risk, you're even more eager to prove yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You could exact your revenge today -- if you wanted to. Or, you could wait to see if you still feel vengeful tomorrow. The latter choice gives you time for golfing or sewing or painting or ...
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 23). Creative achievements make this year wonderful for you! You'll receive a lump sum of money at the end of the month that is best parlayed into new business or invested in the next generation. Romantic affairs turn exclusive in September. Couples who have been together for years find surprising new intimacy at this time. Taurus and Libra people cheer you on. Lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 29, 19 and 40.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can't help but wonder what others are thinking of you this afternoon. Whatever it is, it's none of your concern. You're destined for greatness, which you will reach when you're above and outside the opinions of others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The experiences of your life and the secrets of your soul are written large across your face now. No use hiding. You may as well celebrate those scars as badges of honor. You're all right.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The life inside you may take issue with the life outside you today. That's OK. It's a "checks-and-balances" system that works well. Eventually, both may compromise to agree on one reality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Abundance comes in many forms. You may not be dripping in diamonds, but you're rich to be sure. Whatever you have, this afternoon brings the opportunity to parlay it into more.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know what is true for you, and therefore, you recognize what is true for others -- though they may not. Whether or not to talk about what you see will be the question.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Keep track of your keys today. The stars suggest there will be much going on, and it would be a bummer in the midst of it all to be locked out, and even worse to be locked in!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though you may not be aware of it, who you are and what you believe shines through your work. People and things that resonate at the same vibration are inexplicably attracted to you.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Which guy is better for me: a Taurus, a Leo or a Scorpio? My birthday is Feb. 22, 1979."
Major changes happen for you in the next three years, so whomever you choose, it's nice if you don't make decisions with this person that will affect you in years to come. Make light, casual and fun your motto for the summer. TAURUS appreciates beauty like you do, and he probably makes you feel like a princess, too. Although Taurus is stubborn, you find it easy to move him or her through an intuitive sense of motives and patterns. However, don't get into manipulating Taurus. This is dangerous! LEO and you make a strong connection, but you're too dissimilar to truly want the same things this early in your life. You may be angered by his flirtatious nature, but at the same time, you love it when others see how attractive he is and admire his accomplishments. SCORPIO is the best match for Pisces in terms of passionate intensity. A word of warning: Always take him seriously, and give him plenty of space. At the summer's end, progress on the career front will put love on the back burner, but by that time, you might look forward to a change of pace while you develop yourself in other ways.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: He's been called a genius, a poet, a voice for his generation and a voice for all generations. However you want to refer to him, Bob Dylan is a groundbreaking and original artist. Intellectual Geminis need to constantly air their thoughts, and Dylan has based his career on this "freewheeling" concept. The youngest additions to his ever-growing family are his great inspiration this year.

|  | 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... | |
