You are likely to be able to add considerably to your resources in the year ahead, through ingenuity and cleverness. On top of that, anybody who becomes closely involved with what you're doing will also come out quite well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You might get an opening to tell a sensitive friend something that he or she needs to hear. You won't do so unless you know you can deliver the morsel in question without hurting the recipient's feelings.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Because you're self-sufficient and reliable, you're not apt to take your responsibilities lightly. When you give your word to do something, you'll stand by that promise.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Regardless of how busy you may be, find some time to get in touch with an old friend who has been on your mind lately. There's a reason you've been thinking of him or her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You don't need the support of anybody if you are properly motivated to achieve certain objectives. Let others do what they want while you go your own way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's no reason to evade anything at this point. You're better equipped than you think to achieve whatever you decide to do. You merely have to make up your mind and get crackin'.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because you're able to assess your position realistically, you'll know that everything you expect from another is well deserved on your part. You've earned a little consideration.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Go ahead and make a minor concession to a close associate. Even if the person is difficult to please, he or she will be inwardly grateful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You might have to be the one to pick up the pieces and tie together something that another has started but left unfinished. If you don't do it, it's likely to languish and fester.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Yes, you do have a good chance of succeeding today, but you must believe in yourself as much as others do. If you don't at least try, then of course you'll be a total flop.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even if others haven't been able to do something, it doesn't mean you'll have no luck. You have talents they lack, so at least give it a shot. You might surprise yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your associates will be respectful of your views and comments. Even if what needs to be said is painful to you or to them, they'll know you'll be telling it like it is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should do pretty well with your shopping, provided you give credence to your intuition and skillfully use it, regardless of what others have to say about a certain product.
