A typical year features 12 full moons. Every two or three years, a 13th full moon comes along to remind us of life's inherent generosity — bonuses, rarities and extras abound. Enjoy the cosmic surplus, like the universe slipped an extra coin into your pocket. Revisit something you thought was finished. Offer or accept a second chance. Express and enjoy your uniqueness — it's worthy of celebration.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People react to gifts differently. One person feels pressure to open it, react right and repay the kindness. Another person is just super excited and happy to get a gift. You'll learn people's love language and speak it. Relationships run smoother when you trade in the currencies they actually value.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your way of thinking and expressing yourself isn't for everyone, and that's what makes it beautiful. Some won't relate, which just means the right audience is smaller and more specific. Keep going. Share, speak, write and try to make connections. Some people won't click. Others will be a brilliant match.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Connections give you more connections. Social options widen as new people discover you. The ones that are best matched to you will immediately see the beautiful way you've built yourself inside and out. Also, the more conversations you have, the more money you make.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There's a reason the genre called "mystery" is so popular. It's attractive and sticky. No one wants to leave the story before the discovery. As for your own information, hold it back as long as possible. Maybe even forever in some cases. You are drawing people in. You don't owe anyone the answers to the wonderful puzzle of you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). After you check something off your list, take a beat. For the bigger items, take a longer beat. This week will drive home the point about how much good you can do by going easy. If you rush around your life, always looking for what's next, you rob yourself of satisfaction — of the pleasure of looking back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Affection is not the same as admiration. Warmth and closeness aren't the same as respect and reverence. You'll notice what people want, what they respond to and how. This week, it's like you are watching a conversation and suddenly seeing subtitles that tell the inner story of intent, emotion and strategy — everything under the mask.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have value to add. You also have a grievance or two that are worth airing — not because you take pleasure in pointing out problems, complaints and wrongs but because you see how things could be better. What you contribute this week will make a difference, whether you're adding, subtracting or even complaining.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone's life runs better because of what you do, even if they don't always say it out loud. You'll do some strategic reshuffling to be accommodating, but don't go overboard. You're part of this relationship, too. Your wants are more important than you're making them. What would it take to put yourself higher on your own list?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be admired for making the first move. It takes confidence. It's like you're stepping onto the stage before you know the audience's mood. You're acting without a guarantee. You're sourcing your momentum from inside. You'll find out where things stand instead of guessing. You'll become the chooser, not the one waiting to be chosen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes a cycle is not particularly wrong or bad, it's just over. You've a talent for sensing the point of diminishing returns, though it doesn't always mean you make your move right then. Empathy, diplomacy, logistics — it's all a part of your decision-making. When the timing lines up, you'll make your changes with grace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're not always the best at following rules, but you've followed hundreds every day to good effect. You just like to test the new ones to be sure they are really necessary, true or applicable to you. Also, knowing who made the suggestion and why is an important part of your process — a process that won't steer you wrong this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Asking for more isn't necessarily greedy, especially not if you need it or will share it with those who do. You use your resources well. You're almost never on a power trip. Someone's got to have it. Why not you? Fortune favors the bold. It's your week to just ask, and to "just get" — abundantly, with no strings attached.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You gave without expecting a return, but the return comes anyway in this Year of Paybacks, Payouts and Payoffs. The goodness has compounded; your returns are generous, surprising and tuned to a delightful cosmic timing. Needs are fulfilled — relief and joy. More highlights: An upgrade to the way you get around will have you arriving in more comfort, ease and style. You'll give many performances, three of which progress your professional status. What you learn about yourself will have you attracting relationships that deepen your joy.
