Mercury goes retrograde tomorrow. It's nothing to be alarmed about, but being aware might help. For instance, if there's anything you can get done today that will help you out tomorrow (marinate the meat for your barbeque, buy that present for an upcoming birthday, get those papers in the mail), you'll be glad you did.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). As you alter the outer world, your inner world also transforms. While tending to your possessions, you might realize your priorities are not as you would like them to be. This realization produces immediate and effortless change.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Construct a new set of goals before you get close to attaining the old set. If you're nowhere near attaining the old set, consider that they might not be the right goals for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your life takes an exciting shape when you're near that certain person. Perhaps it's the exact shape of this person's negative space, since you can't help but mold yourself around their essence. If this isn't love, it's something like it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Instead of asking what you need to do to get to all of the tasks on your list today, ask who you need to be. The answer is a superhuman. No worries -- it's not out of your realm of "cape"-ability.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). At times, you pour your identity into your work. You're not your job though, and today proves this point. Something happens while you're working that is hard for you to relate to, and that's a good thing.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 3). This year brings new passions as your heart's desire speaks to you in a louder voice. You can bounce creative projects off the ground in the next 10 weeks. August brings a change in your sensibility that spurs you to answer emotional issues and strengthen love relationships. Love with Gemini and Libra people is especially comfortable. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 45, 2, 11 and 50.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're flying high on the wings of love. Just make sure you have enough fuel to stay in the air -- i.e. real things in common and a solid base of communication.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Though you love to joke around and keep things glib, giving and receiving tenderness will heal your soul. Dare to reach deeper. Words have the power to change your romantic status.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It has long been proven that happiness is not a result of getting everything you ever wanted. Today, you'll get almost nothing you want and be blissfully astounded at what you already have.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To a person who has never prayed, praying just looks like someone talking to himself. If there is some greater, unseen force to be used, you're open to using it in big or ordinary ways.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The planets align to put you in touch with your feelings about authority. A father figure may help this process. You're the real authority in your life, even when you appear to be restricted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Negative attention is attention all the same. Someone who needs attention knows this very well. You might be able to prevent bad behavior by lavishing attention on this person before they do anything at all.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your charm is unstoppable -- your cheery mood unchangeable. Family and old friends get leeway from you. It's easier for you to be forgiving, and better for all.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "When I was a teenager and in my 20s, my love life always got spicy during the summertime. Now that I've been married and divorced, my new single status has me longing for that 'summer love' feeling again. Am I too old for that kind of delusion now? (I'm a Virgo.)"
Summer love is certainly coming to you! It's because you're willing to put aside cynicism and judgment to experience this kind of giddy, naive love that it will happen. Be willing to see only the "superstar" quality in the object of your affection, and there's no reason you can't be swept up in a teenage-style affair. In fact, Virgos are coming into a highly romantic summer. For a frivolous fling, Gemini and Aquarius people are perfect. You're easily fascinated by their zest for life. For a slightly more serious attachment, you find Capricorns and Scorpios especially attractive, and in the long view, these signs are completely trustworthy and good for you. One new characteristic Virgos are displaying is their desire for extreme honesty in all relationships. This summer, you're so hot on the scene that you needn't change a thing to attract new loves. Your initial forthrightness helps you quickly forge more rewarding emotional bonds.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: She may be a pop-singing superstar who's sold millions of records, but that hasn't stopped Michelle Branch from getting in touch with her inner country girl. Cancer is the sign of home, and certainly the sign of down-home music. Branch's most recent musical offering -- "The Wreckers" -- is a collaboration with her best friend that stormed the music charts with pretty melodies and a bit of country twang.

|  | 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!
