Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should. Though many of us don't like to trouble others with the things we can do for ourselves, it's not always a smart way to be. Energy isn't limitless. We can protect it with some amount of delegation. The new moon week reminds us that keeping energy high is good for health and general well-being, too. It's like filling up the gas tank in your car at the halfway mark so you never have to worry about running out.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sharing the best of you happens when you're achieving the best of you. Some people inspire you to do this more than others. If a person seems to bring out sides of you that you do not prefer, it's information to pay attention to. It's not just how much you like a person that matters, it's what they bring out in you, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's a week of big thoughts, healthy ambitions and careful action. Why should bold interiors be represented by such small moves? Because it's effective. Don't overthink it. You sense you're onto something and you will succeed in the follow-through, which is half strategy and half winging it with your brilliant instincts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Those rich in qualities like compassion, humility, grace and patience hold themselves to high standards of character. You should know. You too have judged yourself, decided you need work and made corrections. The ones who have never thought of themselves in this way? Watch out for them and their harmful delusions.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's not fear of failure that grips the best minds — it's fear of the light they carry. Don't be afraid of your own greatness. If you trip yourself up when the path is clear, heed this sign of self-sabotage and play a bigger game. If you're in the right-sized game, the challenge will be enough so there's no need to challenge yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Stay aware of your own little tricks. This week is about unwrapping your gifts for all to see. Forgiveness can be too heavy, too soon. But setting down a few weights is manageable. You don't have to toss everything at once, just enough to stretch your hands wide so you are free to grab onto something lighter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have rituals that you don't recognize as such. This week will change it, as the actions you repeat will make known their devotional qualities. And whatever has been hidden from you will be revealed this week. You'll be made quite aware of the quirkier things you've made sacred and the value that has given to your day-to-day life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you rate yourself on metrics that aren't technically bound to your core character, such as how clean your house is or how pithy your conversation. The key question to address will get equal airtime this week, to excellent effect. You'll answer to how you made another person feel, if you did the right thing and gave enough love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A bird in flight knows the risk but also the thrill. Chances are, the bird thinks of neither, and this is the wonder of flying and all other activities that require total immersion in the moment. This week features lots of "fly" time for you, and it's definitely a sign that you're flying on purpose.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are things you forget because they have little bearing on your experience. Other things have a huge impact, and it's one you'd love to forget. Those take practice to if not forget then ignore, change, rewrite, accept, work through or welcome. Any one of those solutions are worth trying this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've got a choice — will you soar untethered or find a new perch? The answer lies somewhere in your wingspan. There is no wrong answer, and actually, you can have both, just not at the same time. The week offers you an open sky, vast and thrilling, and the comfort of a solid branch, safe and familiar.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Surround yourself with those who lift you up, the ones who are happy to let you shine when it's your moment. You don't know enough of them yet, but as you seek generous souls who thrive on shared joy, your circle grows in the best ways. Someone lights up around you, soaking in the bright energy you bring to the room. Notice who.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your general habit of minding your own business usually serves you well, but there will also be moments this week when it will help you to be a little nosy and competitive. Gather information. And here's a key question to sort out: Are you offering something to the world at too high or too low a price?

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Even when you don't realize it, you're in a process of earning deep respect and support. You'll secure a prominent place in a group that matches your energy level, tone and humor. There's nothing more satisfying than the sense of belonging that comes from moving others with your stories and joy. Flourishing domestic life is also a part of the picture, and you celebrate the simple comforts and the sense of security that's a foundation for your other endeavors.
