SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be held in thrall today by someone who does things in a very different way from the norm. Why not consider following this lead?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- That which is most prominent today isn't necessarily the most important. You may have to search high and low for the key issue.
