In the next year, refrain from limiting your hopes and expectations. If you're prepared to work hard and do what needs to be done, your resolve and commitment will be enough to make it happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Just because you're at a boisterous event doesn't mean you can't command the type of attention that you'd like to receive. You'll find that whispering will have more impact than shouting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If there is someone you know who could use a little help, you should yield to your charitable inclinations and pitch in. Your good deed will produce a huge and unexpected harvest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Trust your instincts regarding the outcome of events, because they're likely to be more accurate than your common sense. This time, things could be as good as you hope.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Speak up if you have something to say when a self-appointed person is fouling up the works. You're the one who'll know how to handle it without making that individual look bad.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Discovering that others are talking about you is no cause for alarm, because what they are saying would actually flatter you. Don't jump to conclusions and be forced to make an apology later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don't hesitate to let it be known that you must study any proposal brought to you, especially if a contract is involved. Take all the time you need to read in between the lines.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are some very strong indications that someone new could enter your life, if not today, than very soon. It'll be a person you'll like very much and be thrilled to know.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Getting involved in something creative in which you'll be using your hands as well as your mind will bring you much gratification. Don't hesitate to take on something new and different.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't be bashful about complimenting someone whom you've just met in front of others, and do let this person know how much you enjoy his or her company. She or he will be flattered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Put your artistic talents to work during your spare time and beautify your surroundings instead of sitting around on the couch. The results will make you feel great.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don't turn down any invitation that gives you a chance to mix and meet with new, fun people. The more contacts you make, the more chances you'll have of meeting a truly nice friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although they may come in increments, you'll have excellent chances for producing long-range benefits for yourself and others, starting now. Don't botch things up.
