The wolf howl famously can be heard for miles and used for a variety of reasons: to locate the fellow pack members; establish territory; to warn of danger or feeding opportunity; to find or show affection to a mate; or, it seems, a wolf howls simply because it can. The full moon this week calls the wild hearts to be heard so they can find one another and leave none behind. The strength of the wolf is the pack.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because you are so creative, your mind whirs with possibilities. Because you're decisive, you quickly narrow down your options to the one or two that make the most sense. Because you're a leader, your confident choices will be mimicked by others. Because you're open, you'll forge ahead, gathering strength in numbers as you go.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's an ambitious time. Cheer yourself on. Words can be like a spell, compelling you toward the goal. For now, keep the energy to yourself. Private plans are powerful. Your own ambition is a pure source of fuel, but the ambition of others gives you unnecessary rules, making things harder than they need to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Attempt things without wondering if you'll be good at them because the only thing that matters is that you experience as much as possible. Besides, being skilled is far less important than enjoying a process. Learning is a pleasure — like a massage for the mind.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you're happy, other people will be happy, too. Every time you learn something new, treat yourself, seek your own delight and take good care of yourself, you are building all your other relationships at the same time because your relationship with yourself is the cornerstone for every other connection.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll sort out complications because you're so excellent at seeing the natural state of things. You notice how things work. It's easy for you to understand how things really are and to separate fact from fiction and artifice from the essence. You'll use this gift to improve life for more than just you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you need something, it's normal to reach out to the people who are closest to you, though they are not always the ones who are able to provide what you need. For instance, sometimes you just need a moment of escape, joy, fun and connection, and what you're given is unsolicited solutions that don't apply to your scene.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you feel out of place, it's a good sign — a reminder that you're the kind of person who puts yourself in unfamiliar situations. Knowing that personal growth is an inevitable outcome, you welcome the bit of awkwardness that comes with new experiences. Your impressive confidence will net you an opportunity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). And while it's fun to imagine big, exciting experiences, when it comes to actually having an experience, small moments of joy are often your favorite. This week's thrills come from your sense that change is coming. Indications of progress will bring a surge of satisfaction. It's good to know that you make a difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you're doing is far more special than it seems to you, only because you're too close to your work to see how it fits into the big picture. This week, someone will give you the perspective that helps you understand it differently. This is the game changer that allows you to level up and concentrate your efforts where they'll count the most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a host of reasons for diving into an endeavor, and the money involved is the least influential factor. You want to know you've brought more joy into the world. One way to be sure of this is to do what brings you enjoyment. If it works for you, chances are it will work for others, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have plenty of interests and passions, and there's much you want to accomplish, so it makes sense that you're resistant to jumping into another person's grand vision. However, it will be lucky to participate in someone else's dream in a limited way. New skills and friends are coming your way this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've overcome so much already and you're still dreaming and hoping. That's extraordinary. Sometimes you feel invisible, but your efforts, your dreams, your troubles — they matter. Help will show up. In the meantime, your resilience is legendary and your ability to find a way forward will be a source of pride, confidence and, ultimately, success.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You embody paradox this year. Your modesty highly impresses someone, your compassion is a superpower, and your gentleness moves mountains. New faces in your social circle keep things lively. A special relationship provides grounding and support. More highlights: You fit perfectly into a team and accomplish three major projects together. You'll be encouraged to learn a new culture and/or language, which opens opportunities and adds layers of excitement, sophistication and adventure to your world.
