If you have several significant goals you wish to accomplish in the next year, networking could help you weld them together and enable you to go after them collectively. It'll do wonders for your self-esteem when they're in the can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When mingling with others, there is a chance you could discover a new and very appealing social interest. It'll be something fascinating that proves to be stimulating for the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although the media is a good source for interesting news, so might be many of the fascinating bulletins you'll receive at the dinner table.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Keep your lines of communication open, because someone with a heavy load of scuttlebutt will be trying to get in touch with you. You'll want to hear what she or he has to say.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This is an excellent day to put your business and personal records in order. If you examine your budget, you'll see how you can cut corners and get more mileage from your money.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Assign yourself a long list of things to do, if no one else is doing this for you. It is likely to be one of those days when you'll need a packed schedule in order to feel productive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Use your subtle sense of humor to get your points across in a testy situation, or if you're with someone who needs to laugh a little to get past a tough predicament.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone with whom you recently had a misunderstanding is hoping to hear from you. Both parties need to forgive and forget, without pointing any fingers. Be the big person who steps forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Keep your tactics and methods flexible so each can be altered to suit the conditions at hand, and you'll have no trouble achieving something very important.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you've been falling behind in acquiring new knowledge that's necessary for a top-shelf project, now is the time to do something about that. Catch up with all reasonable speed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Whether you decide to engage in a joint endeavor or take care of your own personal needs depends on the importance of each, not on which you would prefer to do. Choose wisely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Keep your back to the wall, because someone is trying to manipulate you into making a decision that favors her or him. Don't let anyone pressure you into going against your desires.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- People in general can be a bit sensitive and touchy, so if you don't want your production line shut down, it's important to make everyone feel appreciated and significant.
