Recognition and advancement that have been denied you in the past in your work or career might finally come in the year ahead. Do all that you can to keep up the good work and you'll get your just dues.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Something in which you've been involved has greater potential than you realize. Fortunately, you'll become aware of its total value and do something about it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Make your judgment calls based on what you like as well as on tactics that have worked for you before. If it was a winner in the past, chances are it will be again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your leadership qualities are likely to be accentuated. Others will do as you ask, not because of any commands you make but because you'll inspire them to do so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It'll be the things you unselfishly do for others that will yield you some surprising benefits. Whatever you do from the goodness of your heart will be justly rewarded.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you get the chance, spend the day with a friend in whom you can confide. It can be very helpful to thrash things out with someone who has your best interests at heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your manner allows others to feel comfortable in your presence, making you easy to work with. Those who join up with you could end up achieving something they couldn't do on their own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A better-than-average cycle for developing new friends and/or social contacts is opening up for you at this point in time. Make the most of it by getting out and mingling with new people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You could be extremely adept in helping others sort out their problems. If asked, don't hesitate to offer what you think might be a good solution to someone in need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don't hesitate to take a firm stance on an issue about which you are extremely familiar. Eventually those who think differently will see the light.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone who needs the skill and knowledge you possess will be approaching you for help. Be reasonable about the fees you charge for your services.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Instead of looking at life too seriously, think of it as a game to be played that you'd like to win. If you follow the rules, it can be both fun and productive at the same time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You're likely to have a great deal of strength and inner resolve upon which to draw. If you make the most of it, it will not only serve you well but also act as an inspiration to others.
