Some of your greatest successes in the year ahead will come from situations that allow you to act independently, so don't hesitate to undertake a big assignment on your own. You will succeed with or without anyone's help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don't be doubtful about taking on some extra projects or assignments at this time. They are likely to turn out quite well, especially if you're the one calling the shots.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There's a possibility that you might make a new alliance with someone who knows a lot about a subject that could be of service to you. Use this newfound info correctly and it will take you to new heights.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don't hesitate to get involved in an organization's activity, because associating with others could open some important doors that you couldn't otherwise get into.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are some positive new developments occurring where your career is concerned. A meeting of the minds with someone in power could be in the making.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Knowledge, experience and expertise you've acquired could prove to be a feather in your cap when it's discovered that no one but you has the right stuff for a certain job.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because one of the participants in a joint venture is both bold and brave, you could find yourself involved in something of greater significance than it would be without this person involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although normally you might desire to work on one thing at a time, someone could get you involved in a second concurrent project. You'll handle both well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If your past efforts warrant it, this might be the day to remind your superiors of your accomplishment when the chance to do so falls in your lap. Don't let the opportunity fall out unused when you stand up. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don't hesitate to cultivate a friendship with two new acquaintances whom you instantly like.
