The moon in Cancer makes this the perfect day to honor the memory of loved ones from the familiar surroundings of home sweet home. If entertaining the gang, just remember that people are sensitive now, so it's not the best time to bring up any sore subjects. Venus entering Taurus makes already attractive people even more so.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Here's a radical hypothetical: What if you were to take care of yourself (SET ITAL) before (END ITAL) attending to the demands of your work? The result is equally radical. Your desires will be fulfilled.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keep your aim in mind throughout the entire day. Merely wanting a personal improvement is not enough to make it happen, but wanting it optimistically, consistently and specifically is more than enough.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The treasure hunt is on, and you're the one with the most clues. It makes sense that you'd lead the group, but you'll probably use your famous charm to lead from behind.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your sensitivity is a blessing. It helps you read the "signs" on a life path that is for you and only you. The most minute tickle or muscle twitch in your body is a response to your environment that you are wise to listen to.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're feeling experimental and are willing to test your relationships. This isn't done because you want to play games. You're trying to get to something better, truer and more joyful!
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 29). Your year sparkles with jewels of opportunity. Say "yes" to a strong proposition in the next seven weeks. Your lifestyle is invigorated by the experience. Loved ones are in sync with you through the summer, which is why family vacations and events are magical happenings. Your heart is soaring in September. A Libra or a Virgo may be the reason why. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 1, 17 and 30.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). History isn't made, it's spun. Your brilliant mind picks through your "memory snippets" and then fashions them in the manner of your choosing. Knowing this, you have the power to put a positive slant on what happens today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your complaint is certainly well-founded. Even bright and optimistic Libra gets irritated once in a while. The stars drop money in your pocket, and that helps you shake yourself out of pessimism before you infect others with it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dare to be outrageous, instinctual and even a bit cutthroat about your business -- of course, I mean that in the nicest way, dear Scorpio. Change is coming.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're ready to "go to the boardroom" and justify your position! Remain true to a friendship as you get down to business. Just because your universe is expanding, doesn't mean that someone else's has to shrink.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What's logical is not always true, and what's true is not always logical. Success depends on whether you're bold enough to go with the way you see, hear and feel truth, even if it doesn't make sense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your energy is vivacious. You attract an admirer who pursues you fearlessly and perhaps too aggressively for your taste, but it's fun to be wanted, so enjoy the attention.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Situations come up in your social life that challenge or interrupt your natural intuition. It's like a psychic workout. The strain will actually build up your powers of perception.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Virgo with a Virgo moon. I've often felt socially awkward. I read books on how to mingle, and I try very hard to have fun at parties and events, but it never fails -- I always stick my foot in my mouth in some way and go home thinking about what I could have said. Sometimes, I can't sleep after a social gathering because I'm thinking about all I did wrong. Whether I drink alcohol or not doesn't seem to matter, except maybe I'm a little more obnoxious with a drink. Will I ever learn to have fun?"
What you don't realize is that most people have some degree of social anxiety. Even the people who look very much in control have secret doubts. Absolutely everyone says the wrong thing at times. The social butterflies among us try not to focus on their shortcomings. They just put it out of their mind and try again. Being a Virgo, you're so self-critical that you never have to worry about offending anyone more than you already offend yourself. Your own psychic wrath is more punishment than any social situation will ever inflict on you. Read again tomorrow for some tips on how to have fun.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: We can't get her music out of our head, but it's her spirited essence that's brought Australian singer Kylie Minogue legions of dedicated fans worldwide. This Gemini is winning the battle against breast cancer, and I predict Minogue will celebrate this life-affirming feat with an album of bouncing dance anthems. Pisces rules music, but Gemini rules the trendy, groovy genre of dance music.

|  | 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!
