VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Harmony is certainly a worthwhile goal, and it can be achieved if you are willing to make certain concessions. Don't stand in your own way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An early start yields an early end to the day if all goes right. If not, it at least gives you something of a head-start.
