The new moon in Sagittarius marks this day of giving with a particularly gregarious tone. The warmth extends far beyond the inner circle of friends and family and into the lives of any in need of a heartfelt connection — and who isn't? When in doubt, be sure to extend and receive generous invitations. The real abundance to celebrate is love.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know how you want this day to go and your eye is on the end result. There will be detours that are out of your control, and when you roll with it you'll make a delightful discovery.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You do everything you intend to do in the most efficient way possible. There is no wasted motion. Once you're satisfied that your plan has been expertly executed, kick back and let others celebrate you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be doing your creative deeds alongside people who work in a more structured way than you do. You can appreciate different working styles and you get along with everyone around you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even as you spend time with family, play and socialize, thoughts about your work and finances dance through your head. Relax and let your subconscious finagle the details.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's validating to connect with someone who thinks like you, but it's when you talk to those who don't think like you that real understanding begins. You're able to expand your mind and heart to include other points of view.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (NOVEMBER 27). You maintain your independence and are raised in the esteem of others. Someone pursues you vehemently in December, sure that you would make an excellent partner or team member. Love is all-encompassing in January and you could even move to be with your special person. Lose an old habit in June. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 31, 24, 30 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be exposed to materialistic attitudes and tempted to buy into the idea that the luxuries in life all cost big money. It's not true! Find priceless beauty around you. Remember that you are more than what you earn or own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Inspiration strikes. The heat of the moment is something not to be wasted. Once you know what you want, move quickly before you lose your initial enthusiasm. Over-thinking is dangerous and boring.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're in high demand. Many people are counting on your arrival to their gathering, and for good reason. You are a jolt of energy, spreading the kind of warmth that puts people at ease.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're a talented futurist. You think ahead and anticipate what people will need. You are also the one to decide what will be the most pleasurable endeavor for yourself and those around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your heart is young and curious so you poke around to see what people might share with you. You have a knack for drawing out the most interesting information and even a few secrets.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your family is a diverse lot. While you may not agree with them all of the time, you still accept them. Your open attitude about different cultures and beliefs promotes harmony both at home and globally.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The environment you create around you is truly welcoming. Friendships deepen. You're willing to share anything you have with the people you love, and also people you don't know.
