It's very likely that you will establish an extremely valuable ally in the year ahead who may be a bit older and more experienced than you, but with whom you will match up quite well. Together you'll do some big things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because you'll innately understand certain things that aren't necessarily obvious to others, trust your own instincts over the general consensus.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- For some strange reason, your sense of timing will be better than ever and could prove to be an enormous asset. When you feel the moment is right, play your trump cards.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Information you receive from a trusted ally could contain some hidden ramifications that require a great deal of thoughtful analysis. You should carefully evaluate everything.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to deal with some challenging developments, but you won't have any trouble solving problems. You'll perform best when working with your mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It won't bother you one bit if an idea or suggestion that's offered by another is superior to anything you've thought of. In fact, you'll welcome clever thinking of every stripe.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Being materially motivated will substantially enhance your effectiveness and productivity. When you see a chance to make a dollar, you won't hesitate to do what you must to earn it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because you're a good listener, you're likely to pick up all kinds of bits of information that could collectively prove to be beneficial. Don't ever stop learning.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A situation that has been hanging fire for far too long can be successfully brought to a conclusion. If you see a sudden opening, act on it with boldness and alacrity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Upgrade that operation or endeavor in which you are presently involved the moment you get the chance to do so. Such an opportunity won't come again soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You could be exceptionally fortunate in your commercial affairs if you're willing to act as soon as a likely opportunity manifests itself. Don't sit around wondering if it'll work -- just do it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Good news that will substantially elevate your hopes and wishes is on its way, at long last. It will enable you do something you've thought about for a quite a while.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should closely listen to the advice of others about how to make or save money, but then follow whatever course makes the most sense to you. Pay the most heed to your own intuition.
