RICHMOND, Va. — Gov.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re likely to find it much easier than expected to get through the obstacle course that lies before you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Now is the time to come to the aid of one who has been waiting patiently for you to become available.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have only a certain amount of time in which to do a certain number of things, and the stars are not likely to favor a random approach.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A sacrifice comes easily if you really know what it is for, who will benefit, and why. If there are any such questions left unanswered, you may want to call a halt.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Why go to great lengths to communicate a certain message when you are confident that only a few choice words will get it across? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You and only you know what it takes to do what is required of you at this time. Others will be free with advice and counsel.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re playing a dangerous game and you know it. Don’t do or say anything to someone who is unusually vulnerable.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re attracted to that which only comes around once in the proverbial blue moon, but are you prepared to make the sacrifice?
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can’t accomplish very much on your own; you’ll require a crack team to see the job done effectively and on time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Interaction with younger people is likely to teach you a thing or two about yourself that you had never imagined.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re going to want to listen to the advice you’re getting from a family member who has been there, done that.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Progress is measured in small increments, and you may become frustrated by the slow pace.
