Happy Independence Day! Paradoxically, under the Libra moon, it's more fun to be a little codependent, or interdependent, than INdependent. Though the patriotic Cancer sun highlights strength, pride and courage, the fact remains we need one another. So, it's particularly satisfying to celebrate with someone who needs you, too.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your willingness to see all angles of a situation is your saving grace. So what if you and your partner have fundamental differences? Maybe this is the exact reason you're perfect for each other.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Develop relationships with people who share your driving passion. You'll see many of those types around today. You can recognize them by the glint in their eye that says "I'm on my way."
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Delivering something totally unique is the secret to success. If others are already doing it, you shouldn't. You'll have an abundance of creative ideas once you put your mind to it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). All things seem possible, even the impossible ones. (Especially the impossible ones.) You don't even mind that a relationship is a little unpredictable now. It's all part of being in love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a better day than most for giving that albatross around your neck the old "heave-ho"! The stars shine on your resolution to clean house of your bad habits, too.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 4). Your enchanting presence attracts all kinds of interest in you this year. Prospective employers and romantic hopefuls pose tantalizing offers this month. August represents a move toward a creative approach to your work. November shows you being whisked way (or doing the whisking yourself!). Romance with Taurus and Virgo people is favored. Lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 10, 35 and 16.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're less afraid to approach people and ask for what you need, which is why you'll be taken care of. If you're not on your own side, after all, how can you expect anyone else to be?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The stars show you in a prime position to adjudicate, critique or rule. You could even be paid to do so. The manner in which you decide isn't at all judgmental. You listen without prejudice and are inspired by what you learn.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your best efforts are not only good enough, they're head and shoulders above the rest. Knowing this, you can stop worrying and humbly enjoy the bounty this day brings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sooner or later, everything you own ends up owning you. Taking this information to the store with you could save you hundreds of dollars. Taking it to heart saves thousands.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Killer career choices involve doing more by doing it differently than anyone else is. You can afford to experiment and push the limits as long as you keep your cards close to the vest for now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's no coincidence that the word "satisfaction" has the word "action" embedded in it. Act immediately on your winning notion, especially if it's a solution to a simple problem, like what to cook for dinner.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Concern about doing the so-called "wrong" thing will undermine the integrity of your creative life. Be bold. Outrageous even. Later, you'll be happy that you played by your own rules.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "An astrologer recently told me that I was experiencing what's called a 'Mars Return.' He said this would be very good for my love life. Do you agree, and could you please tell me more about the Mars Return?"
When a planet is traveling in the same sign/position it was in when you were born, it's referred to as a "return." Throughout your life, you will experience many planetary returns. For example, every year on your birthday you experience a solar return, and once a month you have a lunar return. Mars is the planet that commands your assertive, courageous and daring energy. It's also the planet of sexuality and physical passion, so during your Mars return, you may feel more amorous than at other times of the year. The opposite sex is undoubtedly drawn to self-confidence and a fearless attitude -- both hallmarks of Mars' influence. The more sensitive aspects of a true love connection are better served by the romantic planet of Venus and the emotional, nurturing nature of the moon. Your perspective will be better tuned to a lasting relationship when these two planets are favorably aspecting you from the fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Mega movie-star Tom Cruise is a Cancerian who lets his strong emotions guide him -- a good thing when one makes one's living portraying feelings. Cruise's passions shine through in whatever he does, whether it be a new film, an interview, or as a father to his new daughter, Suri. However, I see Cruise curtailing his controversial public statements in hopes of a more private life this year.

|  | 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!
