The little extensions of ourselves that we dust or wipe clean, frame or sort into piles are things we keep around for an emotional reason. They represent who we think we are and who we want the world to think we are.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're trying to convince yourself that you don't need the kind of praise and encouragement you once needed -- but it's not working. Your unexpressed (and valid!) emotions lie in wait like crouching tigers.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You've become quite attached to someone new. Could this be love? It's certainly a shared mutual interest for this moment at least. A Leo figures in prominently.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The less you know about a person, the more you project onto them. So the one who says very little to you seems like a magical being. This is the kind of glamour that wears off quickly, but enjoy it for now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The technology is in motion for a contact-lens camera that can be worn in the eye so you can have total recall of your day. Such an invention would help on hectic days like this -- you could remember what you said you'd do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is no such thing as a "little bit" today. One thing leads to another, and suddenly you're in deep. So choose your route very carefully! A Sagittarius is a lucky connection.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 26). The world longs to be discovered this year, and you're the one to do it. Adventures through August are not far from home, but as wild as any faraway quest. In September, business brings romance into your life. January starts a career transition. Money in October makes you so happy you were tenacious. A Leo or a Pisces appreciates your passionate soul. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 5, 43, 28 and 19.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you don't know what you're doing, just guess. The stars align to remind you that you have intuitive vision. That's why you can nail your target with a shot in the dark.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's a place for you among the elite of your group, But do you want to take it? That kind of validation comes with a price. Y ou're feeling great about yourself as it is. By the way, you haven't seen the last of that Aquarius.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The current relationship issue may feel like a rut, but it's really a choice to stay in the same place for a spell. You're not really in the dark about the solution. There are lights surrounding you when you're ready to see them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone acts like he or she owns you. Should you fight for your liberty? Try asking for it first, and if that doesn't work, claim it, and see what happens. Freedom is your birthright.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're not too proud to say you were wrong, if indeed you were, but you may have to "see the playback" to be sure. An apology could be the only thing standing between you and a goal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're the muse for a creative friend, but you will not be content to be the inspiration for long. Great fulfillment comes from being a creator as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The possessor is possessed by the thing he possesses. Your planets are perfect for giving away material things in favor of peace of mind. A partner will be stunned by your actions.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I've been a stay-at-home mom for over a year and a half, and my husband and I would love it if I could continue to stay home, but in this day and age, you need two incomes. I have had a few jobs here and there, but they haven't panned out. Will I ever find one that I will be happy with? I'm a Pisces, born March 14, 1969."
You're to be commended. Celebrated. There should be a parade for your efforts, dear Pisces mom! Your investment in your child's development has been the best possible use of your time and energy for the past year and a half -- you can be sure of that. Your baby won't tell you in English, and your husband won't tell you often enough, so let me be the one to let you know emphatically, publicly and with great volume: YOU ROCK! The only additional job I would recommend now is the job of finding new ways to infuse your life with extreme self-care -- acknowledging the many parts of you (not just the mom parts), attending to your spiritual needs and finding time to dance, exercise, play with your hair, wear frilly things and read romance novels. Don't worry, you'll work again soon enough. First, shake off your worries, Pisces. They are needless.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Kathy Bates is one of the most lauded actresses of our time. From TV's "Six Feet Under" to numerous gripping films ("Misery," "Dolores Claiborne," "About Schmidt"), Bates is the quintessential Cancer, with a tough exterior hiding a tender, fragile soul. I see more dramatic TV work for her this upcoming year, as she creates, directs and stars in a new cable network series.

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | 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!
