Born today, you know how to start things off with a bang, but you don’t always follow through as you might. What begins as a very exciting adventure is sometimes going to fizzle out and become nothing more than a distant and disappointing memory. It may be that you don’t have a great deal of stamina, or it may be that you sometimes bite off more than you can chew, but it’s far more likely that your tendency to get bored -- and get bored very quickly! -- is the thing that most often stands between you and success.

MONDAY, AUGUST 26
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your opinion of another cannot be allowed to influence your work today, whether it be good or bad. You may want to keep your distance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll have to decide, before the day is out, whether you’re able to tend to someone else’s duties. You’re eager to be seen.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you give to another today is likely to be given to you in return, but most probably when you least expect it. That can be fun!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When approaching the finish line today you’ll want to bear down and avoid any sort of overconfidence. Someone can still overtake you!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Just when you think you’ve addressed a personal dilemma effectively you may be thrown back into it in a way that defies even your best intentions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn’t let the fleeting judgments of others affect the way you do or say anything today. Trust your instincts in a tight spot.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be expecting a change to come over you soon, and as far as you’re concerned, today is the last day to indulge a certain whim.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A personal judgment can be shared with others, but only if you are asked to do so. Otherwise, you must do all you can to keep it to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be matched with someone much different from yourself today, but you can identify complementary talents and get things done.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A brief reminder is all it should take today to get you back on track after a brief period of wandering. You know what’s at stake right now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not understand why others are carrying on as they are, but you can surely have a calming influence by doing what comes naturally.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You’re eager to see if there’s potential in a new relationship that neither party has yet recognized. It’s time to take a calculated risk.
