The Aquarius sun is on a mission to raise human consciousness. Sounds like a grand plan, but it's done simply — one thought and one feeling at a time. When you think positively and feel good, you raise the energy of everyone around you, including the inhabitants of the home across the street, or your fellow shoppers in the grocery store.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of complaining about that selfish person, be respectfully direct. Ask him or her to share a responsibility, to acknowledge another person for their contribution or to be more of a team player.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You put on no airs. When others pretend to be something they're not, it makes you uncomfortable, or you feel sorry for them. Try to have compassion. Everyone is doing his or her best.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your honesty is admirable. However, you should still work out what you're going to say in critical situations. Whether you're selling yourself as a friend, business partner or date, strike all ambivalence from your presentation.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're working on your spiritual self. Be invisible in this endeavor. Anonymous giving and sacred prayers that you don't talk about to anyone will bring you closer to who you really are.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll see conflicts you didn't know were there before. This is terrific if you're writing a novel. Perhaps it's not so great if you're just trying to get along with your fellow humans. Don't worry. Resolutions are imminent.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 21). You're unceasingly upbeat this year, which attracts all kinds of fine fortune. It's not that you don't see that there's sadness in the world — it's just that you choose to limit your exposure to it. Take a job you're not qualified for in February. Your contradictions are ultra-loveable in March. Aries and Cancer people are your staunch supporters. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 2, 30, 11 and 14.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The organized, direct and efficient manner in which you deal with others might be misconstrued as controlling. Deliver your instructions in the softest, gentlest manner possible.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Channels of communication may be muddled by your expectations of what you'll hear. Keep an open mind. When loved ones feel free to express themselves around you, they keep coming back.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll run into mysteries best left uninvestigated. When someone tells you, "You don't want to know," believe it. Run the other way, and take your curiosity with you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you think is happening may be the opposite of what's really the case. If you're willing to consider that you may be wrong, you'll know the real truth when you see it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you're obsessing over something that others think is inconsequential, well, that's their problem. Obsess away. Who knows, maybe the smallest detail makes the biggest difference. Enjoy your obsession.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There's an untold story inside you, and it's starting to create irritation, if not agony. Stories, like splinters under the skin, will bug you until they come out.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Father figures help and benefit you. Seek them out, and let them know where you're going and what you need. And if you're not going anywhere and don't need anything, a father figure can help you with that, too.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Money is the hot topic this week, with the major planets stirring up the kind of drama that would have Trump doing double firings. Jupiter and Uranus are adding risk to already risky investments. And Venus opposed to Saturn is causing career-related tension and raising questions like: Is it possible to go to the party and wake up sharp for the job the next morning? Can you be friends with your client and still charge a fair fee? Can you afford a vacation if your work demands constant attention? The planetary energies suggest finding a way to turn your job into the party, charge your client top dollar (and tell him the friendship is no extra charge) and travel for work. Thursday and Friday, the Taurus moon has us chasing our appetites around, especially for the things that cost slightly more than is in our wallet at the time. The Gemini moon this weekend keeps the conversation lively. Perhaps more is said than should have been, but that's part of the charm of the Gemini moon. It's easy for people to blow off the comments that don't apply and appreciate the ones that do.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Is Aquarius a lucky sign for talk-show hosts? Ellen DeGeneres has excelled with the genre, as has the talk-show queen, Oprah. Aquarian friendliness attracts both guests and viewers. Also, Aquarian altruism finds an outlet in this daily format. DeGeneres continues to stay true to herself and her vision in 2007 and adopts a unique charitable cause that helps her make an even greater difference.

|  | 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!
