Maybe the full moon makes us exaggerate our emotions, or maybe our emotions are just 10 times more passionate under its influence. Either way, the themes of this full moon are responsibility, social standing and what will the neighbors think? Action that is intended to not only fulfill an obligation, but to look fantastic doing it will have special luck.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Self-expression liberates you. You'll have a chance to own up to the good or the bad. Either way, if it's yours, claiming it is lucky. Tonight, an intimate discussion with friends reveals that you're profoundly normal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Options you hadn't considered are fun to toy with on dreamy days like today. For instance, should you move to a foreign country? Buy an exotic pet? Date someone truly eccentric? No, no and no, but imagining is a blast.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As a rule, you're not big on saving money, but saving a little here and there is better than saving nothing at all. Now, you'll have extra coins to throw into the travel kitty (or home improvement kitty, or party kitty...).
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You sparkle and shine on the career front as your projects take off at a dynamic pace. Even though you're in the thick of it now, start planning your break. Travel will improve your productivity in the long run.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're a benefactor. Helping others is even more pleasurable than usual because they'll be asking for something you can give with very little effort -- and it means so much to them.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 10). The world responds to your talents, big and small. Singles find love this month. Classes and short trips are where important connections are made. A long-held career aim is finally accomplished in August. There's a pattern to interrupt in September. Once you do so, relationships grow tighter. Capricorn and Aries people make you feel invincible. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 22, 42, 36 and 31.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Relationships have potential to become closer and more loving today. It's so relaxing to be surrounded by those who genuinely care. By tonight, heavy feelings have magically lifted.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Invite abundance by getting rid of what you no longer use. If you shop, save receipts and get warranties -- you're easily seduced by appearances but could feel differently about your new product next week.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Psychic currents are strong. Though your instinct is correct, powers that be will want evidence to back it up, but don't let it deter you. Helping someone develop their interests is the best thing you can do for yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your emphasis on process over results makes you fun to be with and learn from. A child or student blossoms under your tutelage, encouragement and attention. A Pisces is especially responsive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relationships are really quite simple if you approach them as such. Your romantic mistakes are forgiven. Loved ones' faults seem so much more maddening than yours, but you're better off to forgive, too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're asked to continue waiting. Though it's not in your plan, it's part of a very good plan. Trust that your life is on track. This is an opportunity to keep learning about the amazingly unique individual you are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Change is the natural state of things in your life now. Through your example, you're once again showing others how to "roll with it." Paying for travel and fun gets expensive. You may even consider selling something.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My father (born July 24, 1942) and brother (born Aug. 18, 1979) are both Leos, but they're nothing alike. Why is that?"
Although many people share the same sign, other aspects of their chart influence their lives as well. There are 10 planets deposited in varying signs, as well as an ascendant (the first house of the birth chart) and many other factors. Your father and brother were both born Leos, and the other elements of their charts give them the differing personalities you observe. Your brother is more the textbook Leo, with the sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all deposited in the sign of the entertainer. He needs to be the center of attention and loves to take responsibility for leading groups into action. His Cancer moon and Mars give him a gentle and sensitive side, softening the sometimes-brusque exterior he displays. Your father is a Leo, but with Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all deposited in Cancer. He is a devoted father and husband, with a tendency toward moodiness. His Sagittarius moon favorably aspects his Leo sun, which helps him pull out of melancholia when it strikes and gives him a friendly and talkative nature when in the company of people he knows well or considers family. Although they're different Leos, they probably get along famously!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: A self-proclaimed "America's Sweetheart" who lives her life like it's one big, raucous concert, Courtney Love is the quintessential bad girl. In the upcoming year, she returns to her fabulous rocking roots with a brand new record. Not one to play up the critics, this Cancer mom will only be concerned about what one particular critic -- daughter Francis Bean -- thinks of her music.

|  | 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!
