If too many of your opportunities come simultaneously in the year ahead and are more than you can handle, you might have to prioritize them. However, regardless of which you choose first, don't assume that it'll be easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Chances are you'll do reasonably well with those projects that can be accomplished easily. However, if patience or a second effort is required, it'll be another story.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have any hope of success, you must be able to distinguish between wishful thinking and realistic expectations. Don't allow your cravings to overpower reality.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You might find a tug-of-war going on within you, inasmuch as you are likely to be quite adept at acquisition but equally adroit at spending. Which side will win is up to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Scheduling an agenda that is too demanding is likely to be self-defeating. Don't attempt to do so much that all your good intentions end up going by the boards.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is nothing wrong with having a good imagination, as long as you don't use it to sell yourself on illogical conceptions while totally ignoring the hard truth.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone you know might be flying false colors in order to get you to do something that your common sense tells you to avoid. Listen to your inner voice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Objectives that you establish for yourself are likely to be worthy ones. If you're not careful however, a cohort who isn't in harmony with your aims might try to take you down another path.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Before investing a lot of money on a do-it-yourself project, make certain that you can handle it and/or sustain enough interest to finish it. If it's a momentary whim, you'll come up short.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Just because a friend of yours is experiencing some luck with a speculative venture, this doesn't mean that you will have the same good fortune. By the time you jump in, it may be too late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Leave undisturbed any volatile issues that you and your mate hold opposing opinions about. If you can't talk it out peacefully, it will quickly become an argument that neither can win.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There's a strong possibility that you have a surfeit of talk and a dearth of walk. Speaking of your good intentions is worthless if it's merely hot air.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you aren't disciplined and prudent with your financial dealings, there's a probability that you'll be using far more red ink than black on your balance sheet.
