The lunar journey into the sign of material possessions encourages thoughtful choices about what to add to your collection of earthly goods. Just know that today's treasure can become tomorrow's trinket and vice versa. But if you love a thing and it brings you multileveled joy, it's probably worth having, regardless of its current value on the marketplace.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's impossible to make something new happen while simultaneously keeping everything the same. Creating change is only possible for those willing to let go of the old way. You're in that category today, though your friend may not be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you've already found common ground with a friend, there's still more potential to discover there. It's harder to be the one initiating plans, sending invitations and the like because of course that person has the potential to be rejected. You won't be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have many clashing thoughts. You may be reticent to choose a side even though both sides are technically you. This doesn't make you odd -- it makes you powerful. It takes breadth of spirit to hold opposites inside you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even if you don't think you're psychic, you must admit that sometimes you know what's going to happen before it does. You'll win huge points being the one who predicts the unpredictable and controls the uncontrollable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Emotions, like cats, resist control or defy control. They can be caged temporarily, but of course that's not the same thing. Environmental factors and/or thought patterns will entice certain emotions to alight -- again, it's not control, but it's something.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your good mood lifts spirits and makes others aware of how they are behaving. Without saying a word, your vibrant energy subtly encourages others to lose whatever is keeping them from sharing in warmth. They'll bring out their best selves.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This is a day of false starts, as well as false finishes. Do a thorough inventory before you leave the house and do it again when you get back home. By taking the time to double check everything, you save yourself much more time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Not everything needs to be hard-won. Soft-won is a possibility, too! You'll acknowledge that you don't yet know everything you'd like to know. You'll stay open and the lesson will swoop in to delight you; you'll quickly absorb it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Here's an argument for keeping it simple: If the issue at hand grows more complex and the stakes are raised, the analysis of choices will consume more energy, which may lead to decision fatigue and delays.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you invest yourself in someone else's happiness, you find your own. You may not be able to be everywhere others want you to go, but you can send your thoughts of peace, love and wellness to those who need them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Where it's not your job to get involved, you'll enjoy listening to people, free of the responsibility of making a judgment. In being fully present and impartial, you give others a safe space to open up. You'll understand rather than critique.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make it a point to try and understand everything that goes down. Your level of awareness has everything to do with your progress. You deftly handle the complexities, blurring some boundary lines and standing firm on others.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 11). Your easygoing style attracts opportunity galore. Because you don't require everyone to conform to your expectations, your social and professional landscape is varied, beautiful and full of enriching surprises. More highlights: You'll develop an unusual interest that helps you reach a very popular goal. A sprinkling of new characters keeps the social life thrumming. Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 14, 38, 36 and 10.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Recently, Hailee Steinfeld has been active in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Spider-Verse, making her one of the few actors juggling roles across multiple iconic franchises. Between film, pop music and a modeling career, and enough social media followers to rival a small country, it's high energy all the way for this fire-sign Sagittarius born when the moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune were all in ambitious Capricorn.
