VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You can expect to do more than one or two jobs this week, but none should prove taxing. You're able to pick up slack later in the week, and a friend approves.

(Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- A matter of "official" policy may have to be addressed early in the week in order to free you up to do what others really want you to do. You're ready to assert yourself.
