Through working together on a mutual job or goal, there is an excellent chance that a bond between you and an attractive individual will be significantly strengthened in the year ahead. Both of you will be drawn to one another.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you study your financial affairs down to the last detail, you should be able to discover some new ways to generate the gains you desire. Don't take your past situations for granted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Refrain from judging someone you don't really know based on dubious information supplied by others. Even if this person is difficult for some to get along with, this may not hold true for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Playing a supportive role generally isn't your bag; you're usually the person leading the pack. However, if you handle your unaccustomed position well, both the accolades and rewards will be shared.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Observe and study persons you admire who do things right, and you can learn more from them than you do from books. Pay heed not only to what they say, but what they do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you think those who are handling something of significance aren't doing a good enough job, assume a more active role in their efforts. Set an example they'll want to follow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When you allow yourself to have as much time as needed to analyze an important decision, you'll be able to reach a solid conclusion. Don't cut yourself off at the knees.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Any task that requires considerable concentration as well as a certain amount of boldness is what you'll excel at, so don't shy away from these kinds of jobs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Because your powers of persuasion are exceptionally strong, you'll be remarkably good at turning people to your way of thinking. Now is the time to make your pitch.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The timing is perfect for attending to a serious matter that you've been sidestepping. Take a deep breath and get down to business the moment you see an opening -- it may not last long.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Numbered among your many virtues is an excellent organizational ability that you'll have a chance to use today. Just be careful not to employ a heavy hand when giving orders.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Provided profit is a motivation, this can be quite a rewarding day for you. If your desire to accumulate that paper is strong enough, you might be able to make some serious gains.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The possibilities for advancing your self-interests are exceptional. Don't be unduly self-serving -- just push for what is personally important.
