An opposition between the sun and Pluto suggests that the usual small talk could quickly turn into meaningful "big" talk. Also, it's easy to read more into lighthearted comments than was really intended. Just because a comment wasn't intended doesn't make it untrue! The best way to navigate the day is to think first, talk second.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). This is as good a day as any to educate yourself about the roots of your sun sign. You're a fire sign, ruled by Mars, and your astral phrase is, "I am." As the baby of the zodiac, you'll get away with much today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you didn't know it before, you're an earth sign, Taurus. That means you're uniquely connected with the seasonal cycles of our great mother. Today, you'll sense what's coming just like the animals do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The gift of gab has been yours since birth, Gemini. So when you find you have nothing to contribute, you're as stunned as everyone else. Silence, as they say, is golden.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ask yourself whether you would still be at your job if you weren't getting paid for it. Maybe deep down inside you're enjoying yourself, but for some reason, you're conditioned to think of work as, well, work!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be the conqueror. Maybe it's a stretch, but it's not as much of a stretch as you'd like people to believe. With one roar from you, your challenges turn into victories.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 16). Life is not about being right or wrong, but about making choices you can feel great about. In the next seven weeks, you take a stand for yourself, and that's why this goes down in the record books as one of the coolest years yet. Breathtaking moments in your personal life highlight the end of summer. Connections with Leo and Scorpio people are strong. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 49, 37, 14 and 3.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you're in a partnership, there's a good chance that your other half is feeling neglected right about now. Make a special effort. Delegating your duties may solve the problem.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A technological issue is driving you nuts. You're not the only one, as evidenced by the long hold-time on the phone. Assistance from a real live person seems to be a luxury these days, but the good news is, all will be resolved.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When was the last time you looked at the clouds as though they had something fantastic to tell you? Your imagination is so vivid now that you'll be able to "read" the clouds as never before.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The stars challenge you by asking: How well do you know yourself? The answer is: Not nearly as well as your mother knows you. So, ask her about yourself. You can do this mentally, if it's not possible to do it physically.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What if you had an incredibly dynamic love life? What would that look like for you? If you can imagine it, it will happen this weekend. Put aside old formulas for romance; the times are a'changin'.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If your sign's ruler, Uranus, has anything to teach us, it's that the unexpected has power. Timing is everything. In life, the one with the best attitude wins every time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll be acutely aware of who is on your side and who isn't. Some people are insanely jealous, but you'd never know it until you have a little good news to share. Get far away from anyone who doesn't really want the best for you.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: The Pisces lunar influence highlights the spiritual aspects of love. ARIES: Alternative ways of showing affection will mean more than the ones you rely on every day. TAURUS: Singles click with someone new, and dates are set. Focus on your creative vision, and you'll be lucky in love. GEMINI: Hearts on fire will also experience some downtime, so don't take this as a bad sign! CANCER: One way to give love a fresh start is to compliment the beauty you see. You'll be surprised by what a few well-chosen words can do. LEO: There's a spark from a past flame. VIRGO: Loved ones support you when they understand where you're coming from. LIBRA: Track your moods and desires to determine whether a friend is affecting you adversely. SCORPIO: Your command of language is wonderful, and writing letters or leaving messages on answering machines is favored. SAGITTARIUS: A former lover is brooding over you, which, of course, you know. CAPRICORN: It's like the band is playing just for you. AQUARIUS: Pick your favorite people to spend time with, and stop making concessions for those who wouldn't do the same for you. PISCES: You bring a loved one to a realization of his/her own greatness -- and that's the best gift you can give this person.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: The connection between a Pisces and a Leo is as passionate as it is confusing. Both signs take love seriously, are extremely loyal and enjoy a good drama when romance gets stale. Communication is the weak link in this combo. If Pisces can spell out emotional issues, and Leo can be more sensitive, this match will last.

|  | 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!
