Aquarius (January 20-February 17): What's the fun in gloating over a victory if you don't have anyone to share it with? Curry a few friends for the future, and learn from their successes.

Pisces (February 18-March 19): If you feel like you're being shortchanged and duped, you're right. Time to round up the usual suspects -- and a few unusual ones. You'll be surprised who comes up in your net.

Aries (March 20-April 19): You should reinforce your personal guard and review who's holding grudges, because there's an ill wind blowing your way. Make sure your escape route is planned in advance.

Taurus (April 20–May 19): Clear sailing ahead! All the obstructions have been dealt with, and there's nothing between you and your goals. Stay the course and reap your rewards.

Gemini (May 20-June 20): There's a reason your plans aren't coming to fruition: there's somebody in the way. Finding out whom is half the battle. Firepower is the other half.

Cancer (June 21-July 21): You've been going it alone for a long time, but without any allies, there's no one to watch your back. Take the time to trade some favors as insurance.

Leo (July 22-August 22): Don't you love it when a plan comes together? It will shortly, as all your hard work will pay off handsomely. Sit back and enjoy -- you've earned it.

Virgo (August 23-September 21): You may need to call in some favors to keep your hide in one piece. Trouble's brewing somewhere unexpected. Stay alert.

Libra (September 22-October 22): You aren't imagining those whispers in the halls. People are starting to talk about you, and it's not good. Better put a stop to it soon before it gets too big to handle.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Great minds think alike -- so find out who's thinking along your lines. Cultivating alliances now will pay off down the road when you're out of ideas.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Someone is plotting against you. Take steps to protect yourself. Keep your allies close and your enemies closer.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Time to take stock of all the asses you kissed on the way up, so you can kick them off the ladder now that you're on top. There's nothing they can do to stop you, so show them who's boss.
