Numerous interests may capture your attention in the year ahead, which is well and good. However, take care not to have too many irons in the fire at once. They could trip you up on accomplishing anything of importance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You shouldn't have any problems dealing with persons who operate on your same wavelength, but the minute you run into a little bit of trouble, the relationship could get garbled.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When others go out of their way for you, you're the type of person who tries to find a way to reciprocate. Today, however, you might be more of a taker than a trader.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When associating with people who are able to spend money more freely than most, don't try to keep up with them. Abide by your budgetary standards, not theirs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unless you are very careful, there's a chance you could unwittingly interfere with something that is presently running smoothly. Take care not to create any unnecessary problems.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Friends are always willing to accept your shortcomings because they appreciate that you accept theirs. Find faults with them, however, and you can expect the same in return.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- After resolving a touchy issue, let it go and get on with other things. If you keep rehashing it, all the good you did will quickly undo itself, and you'll be right back where you started.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unless you are thorough on every small detail, what you wrap up could quickly unravel in front of you once again. You're capable of handling things right; do a complete job.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's OK to make whatever necessary changes are needed, but make sure what you do does not cause a whole new set of problems for you. There's a chance it might.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do not hastily agree to an important arrangement that should be given careful consideration. If you jump the gun, you might have to abide by some bad arrangements for quite a while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be sure you or another member of the family is there today when some work or a service is being performed for you. Unsupervised, the entire job could be done wrong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not take it upon yourself to critique another person's work or performance today. Although you might mean well, what you say could evoke responses you wouldn't want to hear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be careful not to push your finances to the extreme because they do have their limitations. Be satisfied with any small gains you make, and do not overspend on what you purchase.
