In the year ahead, you'll be attracted to strong, progressive thinkers in tune with the times. Most of your closest new friends will be of this sort.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Lounging in a cozy easy chair could have a strong appeal for you, yet if you fail to be at least a tad productive, you're likely to feel guilty for wasting all that valuable time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even though you won't be putting on any pretenses, the persona you present is likely to be more dramatic than usual. Others will be drawn to you for this reason.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can't help but succeed in situations where you are motivated to do good things and bring joy to others. All you want to do is help make people happy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're not going to find a better day to promote a cause in which you truly believe. Even those who usually give you a hard time will succumb to your appeal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you're prepared to give in order to get, most of your material affairs should work out to your benefit. Some of your biggest obstacles may be taken out of the picture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It isn't likely that you will shy away from any challenges. In fact, you'll welcome situations that are much too trying for others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll get far more out of being helpful than merely feathering your own nest. Good deeds will be appreciated and rewarded.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- There's no reason why you shouldn't be hopeful regarding the outcome of events, because you're presently in a lucky cycle. Being optimistic and positive helps a lot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You're not likely to seek out competition, but you'll not duck any either. Should a strong competitor challenge you, you'll be a tough cookie to contend with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you view things from a positive perspective, your faith will work wonders. Events will turn out the way you envision them, if your belief is strong enough.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Joint ventures hold far more promise for you than independent endeavors at this time. However, this is true only if you're teamed up with someone of equal talent who has a similar work ethic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Moderation is the key to success, so do your best to play everything down the middle. For best results, don't be too aggressive or too passive.
