VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Gather loose ends so you can put something worthwhile together. You should possess the skill set to take advantage of any opportunities that land in your lap. A romantic partner can be an excellent adviser and supporter.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Those who are reliable rather than reckless should receive a glowing recommendation. Your public image may be boosted by unseen sources. Achieve your financial goals and ambitions by sticking to the tried and true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The higher the bar, the further you must reach to lift yourself up. You may be your own worst critic and may therefore be subconsciously limiting yourself. Put your knowledge, expertise and experience to good use.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your energy levels might occasionally falter if there is discord in your home. However, this is an excellent time to set the record straight and put an argument to rest. Embrace incoming opportunities or offers.
IF NOV. 19 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The dreams you hold dear could come true between now and the end of the year if you take advantage of holiday outings to gather inspiration. Any romantic fantasies may be best expressed with a luxury vacation or weekend retreat. Prepare to work hard and prove you are responsible and ethical in January and February when your performance might be held under a microscope. Do not launch new initiatives, add to your debt load or sign contracts, because both your luck and your business chops could be at a low point. For the best results wait until early March when your business sense is enhanced to make key decisions, or to put important changes, such as a new job or career, into motion. Your creative talents and imagination are at a peak in late March, when it would be a good idea to write down and preserve any incredible ideas you think of or run across.
