It may be during those very times in the coming months when you feel everything is going against you that you will achieve some of your greatest successes. There is a lesson to be learned here: Never give up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Put your analytical skills to work, so that you don't overlook any situation that could produce something that would be of a huge advantage to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be firm but also fair when it comes to any financial dealings. Don't feel obligated to give more than your share when you know you won't be compensated for it in any way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A lesson might be learned from a negative experience that you may have to endure. As long as what happens to you isn't wasted, it will be worth the unpleasantness.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Keep to yourself any ambitious undertaking that you are contemplating. Don't expose your intentions until you know you can pull if off without a hitch.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Try to include in your business meetings an associate who has been a frequent presence. With this person's vast experience, she or he may have many unique things to offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It'll be your effectiveness, not your flamboyance, that gets the attention and wins the respect of others. You won't have to play any games, just the hard, cold facts will do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Help a disagreeable old friend to look for the good in people instead of always dwelling on what's wrong. It's just a bad habit, and life can be a whole lot nicer if they can learn to brighten up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you can keep your mind riveted on the results that everyone desires, it will help overcome any obstacles that might periodically get in the way. Don't let anything impede your progress.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Concentrate on and emphasize the facts, not the frills when trying to present a case to others. Doing so would help sway to your cause the people whose help you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Get your mind off all the small details and focus on a profitable purpose as a whole. Once you do, everything else will automatically fall into place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your peers recognize that you have the leadership abilities to steer everyone through what might be a difficult situation. Take the reins and guide them through the maze.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An opportunity, albeit of a limited nature, will present itself to you through the offices of a grateful person whom you assisted in the past.
