    One of the greatest assets you'll have is an awareness of how the picture in life can quickly change. Having this complete understanding gives you a sense of timing for taking action that leads to success.
    VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It may seem that your interests might have to take a backseat to almost everyone you know both at home and at work. It won't help to get angry about it, just grin and bear it.
    LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Subdue inclinations to make over in your own image those with whom you share your time. If you can't appreciate them for who they are, something may be lacking in you.
    SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Take care not to be overly influenced by an associate or acquaintance who has a habit of taking speculative risks and claims always to be a big winner. It may be wishful thinking.
    SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) As long as you stay within your own limitations, you should be able to handle a matter better on your own than turning it over to another. There's no guarantee he or she can do it better.
    CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Foolishly overestimating your own abilities could cause you to bite off more than you can chew. Should you get into something way over your head, don't be embarrassed to call for help.
    AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you overextend yourself in a business proposition and find that you're losing far more money than you had anticipated, it might be best to cut your losses instead of coughing up more.
    PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be careful not to take your frustrations out on loved ones just because you feel outmaneuvered by the outside world and don't know what to do about it. Let time handle things.
    ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don't be embarrassed to bring in someone who has expertise with something beyond your scope of knowledge. If you try to work on the issue on your own, you'll only have to scrap it.
    TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You're likely to find yourself in an embarrassing position if you hang out with those who have money to burn on frivolous activities. Find something else to do that isn't so expensive.
    GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Although you are usually an easygoing person, you are likely to take offense with someone you believe is narrowing your freedom and limiting your action. Watch your temper.
    CANCER (June 21-July 22) Unless you keep your mind on what you are doing, you could botch up an important job and then act as if it is everybody else's fault. Better hold your tongue; you're going to need associates.
    LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you come off to others as being much smarter, better or greater than they are, don't be surprised if they begin to test your strengths and put you on the spot more than once.
