You have the same potential as anyone else to make a number of solid achievements in the year ahead. However, in order to do so, some of your methods and tactics might have to be revised a bit.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is an abundance of opportunities around you, but unless something in particular interests you, you're likely to ignore them all. Don't let this be a do-nothing day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although you have an abundance of friends with whom to share the day, there is likely to be one ineffective acquaintance who will serve as a detractor. Don't let him or her spoil the fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you find yourself devoting too much time to trivial activities, put a stop to it as early in the day as you can. Once you get in gear, you can accomplish all your big objectives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if your reasoning skills aren't as sharp as they usually are, you'll still be alert enough to get a reasonable amount done, and in a successful manner. It should be a decent day for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your chances for generating substantial material returns are excellent but, of course, it will be up to you to actually do so. Don't just talk a good game, jump in and play.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others will verify that you're the one who is making a major contribution to a joint endeavor, yet you won't see it. That's OK, as long as your partner recognizes it and appreciates what you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Trust your luck, because developments over which you seem to have little control will be the ones that shower you with the largest rewards.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Avail yourself of a new organization or club that will give you a chance to mingle and meet with a number of influential people. Some of these big shots could become your buddies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When it comes to career-related issues, don't hide your light under a bushel. If you believe that you have a constructive idea to contribute, make your concept known.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Whether or not you believe your social life is at a high point, there are some strong indicators that it is about to get even better. Someone fascinating and dynamic is about to enter the scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A transformation that you've been wishing would take place is about to happen. It will not only benefit you, but your loved ones or a close buddy as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You might have a hard time believing it, but if you stand back a minute you would see that it is not only the other fella who is getting all the concessions, it's you too.
