It wouldn't hurt to spend more time in the next year attempting to find new ways to enhance your material well-being as well as your standing in the community. Chances are that you'll find some ingenious ways to do so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Should conflicting opinions between you and your mate become a bit trying, remember that minor concessions and a few affectionate hugs could easily restore a common bond.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Some kind of task you take on that you thought would be as easy as 1-2-3 is likely to turn out to be much more difficult. Regroup and try again, but be prepared to take it to 4-5-6.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Generally, you're pretty good at managing your resources, but this may not be a good day to do so. To be on the safe side, enlist a friend to help keep you in line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Instead of getting down to business when time means money, you could allow yourself to be dragged off course. Playing catch-up later on may prevent you from accomplishing what you hoped.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Without thinking, sometimes you can end up being more of a talker than a doer. All your good intentions could go down the drain if you allow this to happen.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- More investigation than you suspect may be needed before you get involved in a new endeavor. Take plenty of time to examine everything that needs checking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Success is important to you, but it shouldn't come at all costs. Think of your reputation and how you could possibly alienate others whom you may need down the line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't depend too heavily upon chance or luck to achieve your goals; rely only on yourself. Achievement is possible, but you must be consistent, concise and accurate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It can always be tempting to blame our mistakes on someone else, but it only makes matters worse in the long run. Fessing up to your errors will win you admirers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be wary of jumping to conclusions before you have all the necessary facts. Once all the information gets out in the open, you might have to make an embarrassing apology.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because of one hasty judgment call, you might spend just as much time placating co-workers as you do trying to be productive. To avoid trouble, think before you act.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you allow expediency to govern your actions, any hasty moves could cause you further delays. Careful action brings about desirable results, while erratic ones create havoc.
