astrological FEATURE: STAR SUPPORTERS OF 2002 (PART ONE OF SIX): Who will help you get what you’re looking for in the new year? Aries: You’ll seek out those who helped you in the past, but with who you’ve been out of touch. Fellow fire signs Leo, Aries and Sagittarius are the luckiest. In particular, a Leo sparks your talent creativity by telling you what he or she is doing. Say to yourself, "I could do that!" and find a new career, hobby or lifestyle that re-energizes your ambitions. A Gemini is a close friend and confidante who will be there for you – treat this friendship with special care. Taurus: You shouldn’t mind being candid with those who are close to you, and they won’t hold back when you ask for the truth. You’ll be able to count on a Scorpio and Sagittarius often this year. An accurate view of the world will help you reach your destination. In order to make a successful plan that really works, your best collaborator should be a mentor who has been there before. A Cancer will be especially generous with his or her advice, wisdom and contacts. One caution: Those who are jealous of you will be no help at all – keep them at a distance while you welcome your true supporters. Luckily, it’s easy for you to tell the difference.
