The moon is dark — her face is hidden while she decides who else she'd like to be. She's like an actress starting a new scene. And you can do the same now — go behind the black curtain of your mind and look at the personas available to you. Or maybe you'll choose not to wear a costume at all and just be your glorious self, only different.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone has setbacks, but you bounce back incredibly quickly from yours. You're more willing to try something new because you know you'll recover from any stumbles that unfamiliarity may cause.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're multigenerational. There's a 6-year-old inside of you, and also a 3-year-old, and a 72-year-old. And all these characters are battling it out today over what it really means to act your age.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're the hardest person to lead now, especially if you're the one trying to lead you. It's not that you're stubborn. You're just interested in so many different things that focus is the issue. Be firm.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You've used procrastination to cope with some areas of your life, but this is no longer what you want to do. You're ready to create movement in that area that has been dormant.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If your work isn't perfect, it only shows that you're human. Embrace where you are. It's fantastic that you haven't figured out how to be right all the time. Nobody likes a know-it-all!
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 18). Your unrelenting optimism attracts just what it seeks this year. Projects that have big earning potential are launched in April. There's a financial bonus in February. July is your month to break the rules and defy established dogmas — not usually your M.O., but so satisfying! Wedding bells ring in December. Taurus and Leo people are special friends. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 1, 20 and 13.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don't be afraid to show off. Your flashy style makes you a shoo-in for a cool job. Tonight, it's extremely lucky to contact a sibling, or the one who's like a sibling to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You win a heart by outshining the competition, not by being jealous. Libra and Scorpio people warm up to you immediately. Use your influence carefully to avoid a future emotional mess.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Matters of the heart play out at a slow, poetic pace. Gentle steps in the right direction eventually get a relationship to the Promised Land. When everyone is talking tonight, be the strong silent one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The stars highlight a goal that you've yet to make even one step toward. But what you may not realize is that having a goal is the first step. Reward yourself for daring to dream.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though part of your charm is that you keep pushing yourself to be better, it's also important to be satisfied with what you accomplish. Acknowledge your recent win with a personal ritual.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The stars suggest you may currently feel deprived — like you're always either working or feeling guilty about not working. Remember, you're the one in charge of making sure there's enough fun in your schedule.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may only have two choices. Still, the right one is neither obvious nor easy. It's OK to be indecisive. If you're not sure, do nothing. Otherwise, you're just creating problems for yourself.
FORECAST 2007 — SAGITTARIUS: You have so much to be grateful for in life that it almost feels greedy to want more. But it's not. This is your year to consider the universe a lush and abundant place. Dare to ask for what you want without worrying whether you're worthy. You become worthy as you make yourself ready to receive.
LOVE: You are well-matched in relationships, especially with the new ones that come in February. Be sure not to take core relationships for granted when you get very busy in May. Make the effort to keep special people emotionally close.
CAREER. There's a delightful twist in April that colors your work the rest of the year. If you can avoid signing contracts in June, you won't be sorry.
ADVENTURE: The best things happen when you go where the climate is a big change from what you're used to. You love your life more because you taste other people's lives for a week in August.
FINANCE: New streams of income have to do with taking the initiative to get educated and aligning yourself with those who seem to be having an easier time making money. The first week of April is pivotal.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: An American classic just honored by the esteemed Kennedy Center, Dolly Parton is a Capricorn who has truly reached the pinnacle of success. A songwriter with more than 600 songs to her credit and an inimitable performer with more than 25 No. 1 hits, Parton is the personification of the American dream — a small-town country girl who let her talent and her heart lead the way.

|  | 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!
