VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- A strong beginning this week has you thinking you can tackle anything, which may prove a dangerous notion. Be ready to pull up short if necessary.

(June 7-June 20) -- How you organize the pieces of a scattered puzzle prior to putting it all together once and for all will be most important to you this week. The beginnings matter most.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- All that you've been doing to impress those around you may come to naught this week as you are forced into a situation that makes all your behavior genuine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- It's time to share new information with someone who can help you use it. The more protective you are, the slower your progress will actually be. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- It may be more marketable this week to adopt an unusual attitude -- but that all depends upon your ability to shake off the chains of hereditary rules and regulations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may not have to travel far to get where you are going this week, but once you're there, you'll have a great deal to do -- and much to prepare for.

(Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- It's one thing to tell others that you're confident and eager to proceed with what lies ahead, but you know you have some doubts. They're surely worth exploring.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- You're not about to leave anything to chance this week. Make sure everything is in place before you press "go," and watch your plans swing into motion. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The pull that someone exerts over you this week may be all but impossible to resist. You may want to give in, if only for a time, so that you can see all that's involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- You're going to have to screw your courage to the sticking place this week in order to do what has to be done. Have you ever given anyone the boot? (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- You may not know precisely what is in store this week, but you have a funny feeling it's going to leave you feeling ambivalent about several key issues. Talk to a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- It's more important that you listen to what others have to say than to speak your mind this week. It's important, too, that you get a second opinion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- What you thought was a sure thing proves much less certain when you finally immerse yourself in it -- but it may not yet be just a crapshoot. Gauge changes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- What you see when you look at your own reflection may not tell you all you need to know right now. There is a lot riding on a decision you have yet to make. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -- You can collect quite a force with which you can collaborate in many ways to effect change quickly. You must, however, know what that change can and should be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- Put yourself in another's shoes and you'll understand where it is that you have fallen short. This week, however, you can surely correct any serious errors. (March 6-March 20) -- All that you've been through in recent weeks will come back to you now as you consider how to surmount a present obstacle. You'll see that you've done it before.
