Dreams are real. They're made more real by repetition. The same postulate over and over begins to have mass, magnetism and mobility — like a world in the early stages of its evolution. Uranus goes direct in spiritual Pisces, giving a "big bang" to your dream. But it's up to you to breathe life into it. The new moon tomorrow is a perfect start.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're a model of both personal and social responsibility. Publicly, your job is to state the obvious. People need to be told. Besides, no one else seems to be doing it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're thinking of trading your talents for money in a new capacity. Of course, business isn't for the weak. Being overwhelmed by new information is part of the fun. That's why you need today to relax.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your role in a group is to question the way things are. Could they be better? More diverse? Simpler? You'll drive others nuts with your questions, but ultimately they'll thank you. Forward movement depends on you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A grand plan is coming together. Log in your requests now, while the powers that be are still open to suggestions. Tonight, you have a secret to tell, but resist. Your loyalty is prized by those close to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The most important tool you can give yourself is a support system. You don't have to tackle the world alone. People have a need to help, and you deserve to get their help.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19). This year is intensely glamorous. By the end of December, you'll wonder who gets to play you in the movie version. Set a social ball rolling in January, and you'll be freewheeling in a new circle not long after. Work perks include free stuff and maybe a trip or two. October shows you selling something. You're tight with Gemini and Leo people. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 30, 35, 14 and 20.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're trying something new, and you're quite good, but not yet great. No one requires you to be an expert right out of the gate (except you). Listening to and applying criticism requires all your confidence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's your job to make sure that your personal boundaries are observed. Unfortunately, you don't know where the line is until someone crosses it. For best results, speak up sooner rather than later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The stars illuminate the parts of you that have been handed down through generations. It's more than genes, it's attitudes. However, it still holds that you create and are accountable for your own identity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). With a peek into someone else's life, you expand your view of your own. In your search for hard and fast rules, you'll discover a sea of gray area. Ah, sweet liberation!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your frustration stems from the goal seeming so close at hand, but apparently kept from you. The answer is to accept where you are, and know that you'll get "there" when "there" is the right place for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The planets point to you being harder on yourself than usual. Let the child and hedonist inside you win, just for today. Tell your inner slave driver that certain requests are simply not reasonable, and mentally walk away.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Action taken to avoid looking bad only makes a person look worse. Knowing this, you look for what needs to be done, and you do it. The opinions of others really don't matter to you now.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: As far as Greek gods go, Uranus got a raw deal. Though he was supposedly the god of heaven, his sullen son, Saturn, dethroned him in an ugly, gory way before he even got a chance to be worshiped by human kind. His rule was always historical, a power in hindsight, not in real time -- like a late-night talk show that one Tivos to watch the following afternoon. Maybe that's why he's so twisted, which is especially apparent while he's transiting backward like he has been since June. As the master of revolution and radical and destructive acts, he often shares his power on a societal level. He gives global power structures a shake just to see where the weak links are. And on a personal level his influence is equally jolting. But not to worry, it can be applied to a very positive effect. This week Uranus has a new attitude. He goes direct through the spirit waters of Pisces, lending his explosive nature in an optimistic and proactive way. He's especially supportive of the new moon on Monday, urging us to go into the next 28-day cycle with a bang, breathing life into our dreams.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Jodie Foster is the model for Scorpio intensity, mystery and privacy. She ferociously guards her personal life and forces the industry to respect that she's a mother first and movie star second. And Foster's film resume proves how meticulous she is in selecting deep roles. Foster's recent work with Spike Lee in "Inside Man" will motivate her to step back into the director's chair.

|  | 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!
