You are likely to be in a favorable growth pattern in the year ahead, not only financially but personally as well. Your gains may not come in large doses, but they will be consistent, impressive and make an imprint on your personality.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have some time to devote to a pleasurable pursuit, get out and go someplace where you can meet and mingle with new people. The change will do you good.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get out and mingle while your popularity is at a high point. Even those who might have been a bit standoffish in the past will now orbit around your flame.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The best way to be successful is to make sure that your thinking is totally flexible, so that you'll be able to see things in a completely new light. Having an open mind is the key.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Go with the flow, even if what occurs is far afield from what you were hoping to do. New doors could be opened to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A cooperative spirit will be a major asset in all your relationships and should make you a very popular person to be around. Others will do for you what you do for them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Because life has been a trifle demanding of you lately, try to take a few moments to engage in something that you really enjoy doing. The most gratifying thing you can do is to be constructive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Social contacts can be enormously useful at this time, helping you further a special interest. Be sure to make your needs known to your friends as well as your family.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In order to finalize a matter, you must keep uppermost in your mind what you hope to accomplish. Lock in on a target and you'll find the results to be extremely gratifying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You should take care of some old business by getting your message out on the Internet or by telephone. Regardless of the method you use, something fortuitous is likely to come of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You might find that special something you've wanted to purchase but always felt was too expensive at a price you're willing to pay. Grab it: You might not get a chance like this again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try to avoid people who have a tendency to tie up your time. Your personal freedom and mobility will be of particular importance at this point.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Feelings of fulfillment and worth will only come from things you do for others, not from what you do for yourself. Now is the time to make good on your promises.
