Money may be on your mind right now. You are attracted to material things -- food, fashion, beauty and even jewelry. Enjoy the pleasure of meals shared with loved ones. Get dressed up and take in a show or a concert. The new moon phase acts as a harbinger of hope and would leave you with infinite possibilities today. Reconnecting with old friends and relatives will top your priority list today. Happiness and contentment, both materially and emotionally, will come to you as long as you remain resilient. It's time for a fresh start. Misunderstandings will resolve peacefully and leave you feel renewed.

If your bottom line is reeling from recent indulgences, today's new moon in your second house of finances can help you stabilize that balance sheet. First: Take stock of the “damage.” Are you happy with all your purchases, or do any still have the tags on for a possible return? Second, walk over to your credit cards and put them somewhere safe and out of your sight line. And then resolve to scale back on your spending for at least one (if not several) credit card cycles. Over the coming two weeks, think in even broader terms by sitting down with an investment adviser or an HR person at work to make sure you’re doing all the right things, like socking away money every paycheck or contributing to your 401(k).
