The fallout after a full moon can be a lot of things: a cleanup mission, breakfast in bed, an apology, a celebration of luck, a new lease on life, regrets... Situations vary. What they have in common is that they require a response to recent developments. The Mercury square urges speedy and careful communication on the matter.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The usually easy task of discerning between what's crucial and what's not will now be illogically challenging. Nonessentials go masquerading as luxuries and vice versa. You sense what's important. Trust that.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's something about the group dynamic that makes everything easier for you. When you share with others, you feel vital and capable. You'll make a difference in your own life and the world at large.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Positive thinking isn't always the way. Sometimes it helps to acknowledge your worry or consider what could go wrong. You won't dwell in it, rather you'll use it to make a better plan.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The truth is like a mustard seed. It doesn't need to be planted very deep to grow. You'll speak honestly and keep it light. Humor helps everyone accept a reality. It's the first step to improvement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When the problem is solved but nothing changes, it makes you think maybe you were solving the wrong problem. You'll get the best perspective from people who aren't involved at all. Try to see it from an outsider's point of view.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're appreciated more than you know, but unless they tell you, what difference does it make to you? This is why you go out of your way to make sure the people around you feel seen, heard and acknowledged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Before you put more time and money into improving a thing, ask yourself what's really necessary. Think of the big picture and all you could give your resources to. Sometimes it's wasteful to focus too small.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatever you are curious about, get deeper into it. Go ahead and tackle the big questions. There's much good that comes of asking how things might be accomplished, especially seemingly impossible things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're in a thoughtful mood. Your reactions to things may take longer than usual because you want to let things sink in. Understanding the deeper levels and meanings changes everything about your experience.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). After you make your point — you will have many to make over the day's discourse — don't forget to wait for a response. It's the response of others that will illuminate the path to success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Acknowledge your true feelings, whatever they may be. This ensures that you'll have the best start on your journey toward a gleaming goal. Your success will depend on accurately projecting the future outcome of possible actions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The digital clutter in your life takes up no room at all, but it's still something to consider and sort through. It might be argued that how you organize your desktop is how you organize your mind.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 9). You live by your own creed and follow your own advice. This self-respect makes you powerful. Your influence is often indirect, but it does just what you need. Your instincts are hot regarding investment. More highlights: a long-term contract, family pride and a change of style that does just what you want it to. Leo and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 44, 16 and 5.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: "Every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam ... Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot." — Scorpio cosmologist Carl Sagan
