Thursday’s full moon beams down on determined Capricorn sending a clarion call to get serious about completing obligations. Add to this, Mars — in Aquarius — is about to go retrograde for the entire summer. This week: Assess leadership skills as well as anger issues.

Aries (March 21-April 20) The next couple of days are an egg walk leading up to the fateful night when the full moon does a lap dance in your house of public standing. Get the picture? It’s huge. Will you be famous or infamous?

Taurus (April 21-May 20) Thursday’s full moon flashes “GO!” Yes! A dream can come true. We’re talking payoffs. It’s good karma time. If you need a favor, ask. Just don’t do the old deer-frozen-in-theheadlights thing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) The moon shines bright in your eighth house. What’s that all about? You may well ask. The eighth is a biggie, ruling as it does the fortunes of sex, death, rebirth and other people’s money. Think positive. Maybe you’ll receive a legacy or cash refund.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Brace yourself for drama in the oneon-one department. Thursday’s full moon is poised to accent the partnerships and contract issues already complicating your life. Not necessarily a bad thing. Really, some signs would welcome your problems — if that’s what you call them.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) The full moon lobs a work/health message in your direction. You may yearn for something more exciting, but face it, those nitty-gritty issues are the backup needed to keep your many irons in the fire. A practical, nuts-and-bolts decision made and put into practice now will up your game.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21) My, my! You are in lust! How could it be otherwise with the full moon blasting your playhouse and expansive Jupiter lighting up your switchboard. Can you be blamed for what you do? Better not put it to a test.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 20) Jupiter currently hangs in your finance house, accenting mutually held funds such as inheritance or stock market accounts. An enviable placement. But Jupiter can be too expansive for your own good. The full moon warns of possible buyer’s remorse.

Scorpio (Oct. 21-Nov. 20) Since your boredom threshold is low, you Scorpios need plenty of variety. That, of course, leads you down some strange paths. You know the ones.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21-Dec. 21) Just when you thought nothing exciting was ever going to happen, the full moon blasts open the floodgates in your money sector. Opportunity does the “knock! knock!” thing. Quick! Light a green candle to Lady Luck!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 21) The full moon beams straight down on you. All that energy! It’s your turn to howl, Capkid. Better believe the moon carries a mandate. In the next six months, someone or something will walk the plank.

Aquarius (Jan. 22-Feb. 18) When the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie, the lurking ghost of Aquarius past invades your dream life — even when you’re awake. The full moon, a dazzling diva, is blasting away at your house of drawn shades. Mamma mia!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) With an emotive full moon beaming madly, passionately into your wish house, you won’t want to deny yourself anything, anywhere! Try not to get caught ... but if you do, smile pretty.

Q: What’s going to happen to me this year with money and love and people? My birthday was May 2.

A: With lucky, expansive Jupiter currently sitting in your one-on-one house, the future looks fab. For certain, you won’t be lonesome.
