CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you have taken upon yourself to do requires more bravery than you are accustomed to applying. Banish fear entirely!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but don't let yourself take that for granted. Try to stay on the up and up.
