HOROSCOPES

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take action. Nothing will happen if you don't make an effort to direct your energy in a positive direction that will bear fruit. Use your imagination, strength and desire to advance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Work quietly on your own if you want to get the most done in the shortest amount of time. If you make a fuss, someone will interfere in your business.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): If you get together with someone you've worked with in the past, you'll be offered information that can help you excel. A change at home will turn out better than anticipated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Don't be fooled by someone's rhetoric. If you listen carefully, you will realize much of the information offered is cockamamie and won't deliver concrete results. When in doubt, ask questions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Look for new beginnings. Eliminate what isn't working for you and move on to people and projects that you can adapt to quickly. If you go with the flow, opportunities will manifest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Prepare before you make a move. Know with whom you are dealing and what's expected of you before you decide to sign up for something time-consuming or expensive.
