The Scorpio moon was made for the weekend. You don't have to explore — the fun is about turning inward. The Scorpio lunar energy urges us to explore the layers of information that make people so compelling. Deconstruction is a pleasure now, as we can only really see how things are put together by taking them apart.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Spending less than you get is your pleasure now. You make a game out of being prudent. Anyway, it was never about what you wanted to buy — it's about what you want to be.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you allow the past to haunt you, at least force it to use a friendly ghost. Memory can be a tyrant. Don't let it be! Coddle it into submission. Lead it to the tender side of life, and force it to look there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Phone calls, urgent requests and special needs of loved ones decorate your morning. But why let external influences dictate the pace of your day? You're important, too — don't forget it!
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ruled by the changing moon, you sometimes find yourself running back and forth between grief and delight in the span of a few hours. Tonight is such a night. At least you're never boring.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may fantasize about being idle, but idleness isn't really for you. You're a worker, an adventurer and a worthy opponent. Little victories are a larger joy than enormous amounts of easy pleasure.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12). This year you warm your hands on the fire of life! What's most lucky and motivating to you is showing your appreciation to loved ones. Extending yourself to needy folks you don't know fortifies your spirit. This is your most generous year to date, and it's reflected in the abundance that comes back to you. Scorpio and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 4, 20, 11 and 6.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're mastering the art of the deal. Something you thought was junk mail is worth pursuing further. Send in rebates, use your coupons and exercise your right to ask for a discount.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Give your two-weeks notice to a bad habit. Mark the quit date on your calendar. Loved ones somehow say all the wrong things when they're trying to be supportive. Therefore, don't tell them your plans. Let it be a surprise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your personality expands to fit whatever situation you're in. Evening brings intense conversation. Tomorrow you wake up with a new idea of who you are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It looks like the afternoon brings a relentless series of thankless tasks. However, this turns out to be untrue, as the evening — surprise, surprise — brings deeply felt thanks.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In some way, you're feeling too advanced for your crowd. That's an understatement. You're like a college student working with kindergartners. Be patient while you look for bigger challenges.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Family or friends may ask for burdensome favors, such as covering for them when you know they're up to no good. Try not to get mixed up in the lies. Be evasive. Commit to nothing. Buy time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While making a plea for support, remember that what everyone cares about most is what's in it for them, not what's in it for you. Knowing this and catering to this side of human nature will help you create a win-win.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:
- ARIES: Your love life can do a back flip in about the time it takes to do a — well, back flip. Lay off incendiary comments.
- TAURUS: A relationship teaches you that you have more capacity for patience and love than you ever suspected.
- GEMINI: You'll meet curious people with edgy ideas, and this stimulates your love life.
- CANCER: Relationships are as exciting as they are unpredictable.
- LEO: Spiritual connections also make practical sense. One type of connection doesn't happen without the other.
- VIRGO: The one that got away is now ripe for the catching.
- LIBRA: You'll find new qualities to love and admire in others, and you can bet your counterpart adores the attention.
- SCORPIO: Focus on generating happy emotions and your romantic escapades will be fun.
- SAGITTARIUS: Though drama is intriguing, steer clear of potential partners who are in perpetual peril.
- CAPRICORN: Though you know how to compromise, you like being the one who has the final say in things.
- AQUARIUS: You can get what you want — you really can! Declare what you're looking for in love, and then pin it on your wall.
- PISCES: Having to explain yourself over and over is a sign that maybe a situation or person is wrong for you.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Capricorn are both strong personalities who like to be in charge. Of course, Scorpio prefers to lead in a manner that makes others think they are leading, and Capricorn would rather hold up the reigns so everyone can see who is steering the cart. Once they get over their power struggle, though, these two have an absolutely intense, sensual and long-lasting affinity.

|  | 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!
