The possibilities for more personal achievement than usual in the year ahead look particularly encouraging. A word of warning, however: Be careful not to attempt to do too much simultaneously or everything could come a cropper.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Success shouldn't be denied you unless you get impatient and start to judge events before you have all the facts at your disposal. Hold your horses.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Just because you don't get everything you want is no reason to feel sorry for yourself. Concentrate on what you did get and count your blessings, not the ones that got away.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Instead of feeling obligated to do business with the same firm you've always gone to, try another company that is offering you a deal. Sentiment won't save you dollars.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you fail to stick to an earlier agreement and instead decide to break the pact you made, you'll cause complications for yourself, as well as tarnish your image. Don't do it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's fun to get together with friends and let it all hang out, but be careful to follow sensible health habits or you'll pay a price. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you're anticipating getting something for nothing, it'll make you quite vulnerable to a canny manipulator. Don't be anyone's puppet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you sense there is something wrong in a valued relationship, you should bring the matter out into the open. An honest, frank discussion should get things back on track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Trying to rationalize your troubles away never works -- it can be your worst enemy. This is especially so if it encourages you to postpone attending to a matter that needs immediate attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It won't be one of your better days for managing personal resources if you are more reactive than introspective. Think of the consequences before you do anything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The results of your involvements are likely to be exactly as you anticipate. Be sure to think positive about everything and do what leads to victory, not defeat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although you normally keep everything you can out in the open, you might be tempted to resort to some subterfuge. Because this isn't your usual style, it'll make you very uncomfortable.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you're going to do something for a friend, do it out of the kindness of your heart and not in hopes of looking good and/or being rewarded.
