In the week of the new moon in Taurus, a wave of ideas about tomorrow's finances will wash over. Change has always been the way of the world, but in some eras the changes came on balmy breezes of careful consideration, and in others they were rapid fires that cut up the scenery. We're in a season where every day brings hundreds of new ideas about making and spending resources. Steadfast principles lend footing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Opposition fuels your determination. Sure, you want to do the right thing and prove your merit, too — but you also want to get a particular reaction from a certain someone. You may not know why it matters, but the reasons exist and will be illuminated at the perfect time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll shout your goals and whisper your challenges. You might be surprised about who cares and will provide you with insights. There are many good ideas out there, but what will play through the entire life of a project? You'll be gloriously supported and achieve aims that would not have been possible from a constricted hold.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You do not fear a visit from uncertainty, as this is an inevitable part of life. Even so, it's not something you go out of your way to seek when your position is quite cozy. Today is different. The potential reward will seem worth the risk of leaving your comfort zone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll go for a particular goal, and you will achieve it. Don't worry about what happens before or after that. There will be costs leading up and losses on the other side. This is what marks the path of a fully lived process. Without the markers, we couldn't know the preciousness of what we hold.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While external sources can provide feedback, support and validation, you know not to rely solely on it. Neither is it a good idea to make your internal confidence the only source of motivation. Constructive criticism, differing viewpoints and a wellspring of knowing that's inside you will give you a productive balance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Self-care is the cornerstone of your impact on the world this week. Nurture yourself to nurture those around you, spreading love through actions. Serving others requires tactful boundary-setting. Guide those who may not intuit boundaries naturally, ensuring mutual respect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't claim to have a halo and are in fact very aware of your humanity this week. Still, there's a sense of being slighted, and you're still sorting out why you feel that way. You can't dance on thin ice forever. When you have the impulse to scorn, it's a defense — a shield for your soft spots. You'll speak your mind at the perfect time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This week comes with realizations about the value of your contributions. How can you seek equitable exchanges if you do not know how much your side is worth? You tend toward estimating too low. The more you see of the world, the better you get at presenting your work and asking a fair price for it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be teaching again in some way, perhaps not formally, but others will be well aware they are learning from you. You're not one to overstep. Expertise should attract. It's a curious dance you've twirled in for ages. You'll coax out the best work and nudge past the pesky doubts that bloom. You'll learn more from the process than the "students."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Memories of past missives flood the mind — some yours, some theirs, both part of a haphazard web of relationships — a net you will keep casting, and it will keep catching new people and experiences to learn from. It doesn't have to be perfect to be right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). For curious explorers, not knowing quite where you are is a scintillating aspect of any adventure. The unknown is a recurring and enjoyable feature this week. Foreign sights, sounds and words are the spark of excitement. To make sense of things, you'll broaden your awareness, look for context clues and ultimately rise to new wisdom.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your soul seeks to unravel life's mysteries through your own story. The impulse to bare your soul with raw honesty will bring about an experience that may not feel comfortable as you're going through it, but will enrich you nonetheless. You glow with truth's purifying fire.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You've already proven your grit, and now you get to win with exciting dances of commerce and politics, contributions that connect people, and projects that bring out the best in people. Discipline will push you to create fortifying habits. You'll meet audacious influences — a thrill and an opportunity to build remarkable things in a group. More highlights: stylish upgrades for travel and domesticity, an odd meeting that opens love's horizons, and tickets to events that mark history books.
