Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
This week's full moon will be like a microscope, putting your relationships into focus. You might get so hot you start a fire; you might be grossed out by your totally large pores. If you like what you see, celebrate; it could lead to a seriously sexy commitment. If you discover flaws, be honest with yourself — and your lover. And try a light astringent, those always work well.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Some British police departments have begun adding extra on-duty officers on full-moon nights. Is this because a full moon really brings out the crazies? Or do people expect full-moon madness, and therefore interpret relatively normal activity as extraordinarily wacko? My suggestion: Don't worry about which camp is right. Use the energy this week's full moon is gifting you to make your own wild, wonderful brand of crazy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You won't be singing "Blue Moon" during this week's full moon, Sag. (What the hell was that song about, anyway?) It doesn't matter — this week you're lucky in love. And the fabulous thing about a full moon is that its effect isn't limited to just that one night, so if you can't unleash your inner werewolf on Wednesday, you've got all week long to enjoy any animalistic pleasures you can.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Some people work well with others: soccer players, conjoined twins, Communists. Others are more of the loner-rebel type: outlaws, gunslingers, Dick Cheney. Your challenge this week will be to decide which role you prefer, and how this affects your friends and lovers. There's the strong possibility you can find a way to balance your independent streak with the ability to be vulnerable.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Do you agree with Albert Einstein's opinion of traveling, "Love to travel, but hate to arrive"? This week would be the perfect time to test it out. The stars predict you'll find a short trip immensely fulfilling. But if you can't get out of town, remember that where you are now is part of your larger journey.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
You Pisceans can easily move between dream states and reality, and I'm not talking about how Britney Spears' mind probably works. Though your lover might often shout, "Are you even listening to me?" you can make your moony meanderings mean something. Take inspiration from your wild and wonderful imagination, then bring it back to the here and now. Make your honey shout your name for an entirely different reason.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
It's a full moon in Aries this week, kids. Much like my yoga instructor preaches, keep yourself flexible. You never know what a full moon in your sign can bring. A relationship may demand your attention, an important project you're working on might demand some all-nighters, and if those two are one and the same, you'll definitely want to stretch beforehand.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Stephen Colbert has declared that bears are godless killing machines, but underneath the fur and salmon-scented breath is a damn smart creature. (I'm talking four-footed mammals here, not loveable hairy dudes, though they're smart, too). Follow the bears' lead; I'm not encouraging you to hibernate all winter long (or stop waxing your back), but you've had a draining month. This week, get in touch with your inner bear; rest and restore yourself.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
Are you searching for your long-lost twin, Gem? This week you'll have your chance to find him or her: parties, social soirees, even work conferences will feel like they're taking place under a disco ball, and you'll be the life of the party. Your magnificent mind and sexy verbal wordplay will be able to charm any potential partner. Then you can get down and dirty with all other sorts of play.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)
If you've almost succumbed to the ad industry's demands that you bleach the hell out of your enamels, you can relax for the next six months, because the stars have something better: Mars. He's moving into Cancer this week, and he'll give you all the charm, charisma, power and sex appeal you could want. He may not brighten your smile, but no one will notice when the lights are out.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)
You'll see the stars from a different horizon this week. Travel beckons, though whether you're off on a weekend getaway or a round-the-world safari, what you'll benefit from most is a change of mental positioning. Do something to break out of the same ol' same ol'. Sometimes a simple change of positions shows us that the world's a much bigger and more luscious place than we imagined.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21)
Are you, as Tyra Banks might say, "fierce?" Do you dream of stomping down the runway in heels, bitch-slapping fake hos during competition and throwing yourself onto Tyra's ample bosom, sobbing because you just won America's Next Top Model? Maybe not. But this week the stars say go after your goals — even if they involve Tyra's boobs — because you've got the celestial chutzpah to reach 'em
