During the next solar cycle, you're likely to have a good reason or strong desire to make a more concerted effort to increase your stature in your community. The results of your efforts will pay off more than you can imagine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have many friends who would love to hear from you from time to time, so take a moment to get in touch with them and let them know you're thinking about them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Matters over which you have little or no control can work out to your ultimate satisfaction if their courses aren't interfered with or rerouted. Don't buck the odds.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Make sure the way you deal with others reflects favorably on you. Going out of your way not to make waves or interfere will be greatly appreciated by your colleagues.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you do for others is likely to be returned in ways far more beneficial than you would ever expect. Enjoy this rare occurrence to the hilt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is someone who has admired you for a while but has never let his or her feelings be known. Events might finally cause this person to approach you in a different manner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You might recognize for the first time that something or someone in which you're involved has far more potential than you ever realized. Now it's up to you to make the most of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Owing to your magnetic personality, it isn't likely that you'll be wanting for companionship, but sometimes you can be a bit reclusive. At these times, check in and let others know you're OK.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Time is on your side regarding an issue you're anxious to conclude, but it's important that you aren't afraid to assert yourself in order to get things wrapped up the right way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You may get a choice opportunity to tell someone how much you like him or her, but whether you'll seize it is another story. Don't let the chance slip away.
