Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
More than any other sign, Libra, you know how to charm the room. You'll bring the most scintillating bottle of wine, wear the classiest outfit and say all the right things to those who count. The problem is that others will hate you for it. Jealous of your seemingly perfect life or threatened by your superior skills, they will plot against you. Better to let down the façade a bit, even tell a slightly off-color joke, to show you're one of the gang!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
You may be tempted to boycott the office party, Scorpio, because of that guy in HR who's got it in for you, or due to threats of impending layoffs. But that's all the more reason to show up, brandishing a smile and a good word for all. Wear your most festive holiday outfit (preferably not black!) and toast the team to affirm you're still on board. Just keep your sultry charms in check -- even an innocent flirtation could backfire on you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Your most garrulous side comes out at the holidays, Sagittarius. You delight in telling tales, debating issues and burning the candle at both ends. This behavior can quickly get you in trouble at the office party, however. What you find funny can alienate others. Religion and politics are strictly off-limits -- especially that hilarious 'Borat' quip! Minimize your drinking and count to ten before blurting out something you may regret.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Being "large and in charge" is fine during the workweek, Capricorn. That's what they pay you for, after all. But it could work against you at the party. So step down from your pedestal and mingle with the crew -- let your hair down and have a few laughs. Eschew the starched shirt or basic brown and wear something pastel -- even pink -- that brings out your softer side. And make your gift to the boss heartfelt, not just impressive!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
You've been an outsider most of your life, Aquarius. So when you find a person or group you feel a kinship with, you bond like glue. At this year's office party, though, rather than hanging out with the techies or those who speak your language, make an effort to reach out to the rest of the group. Otherwise, they may feel excluded or see you as snobbish. And, leave the cutting-edge outfit at home and wear something classy.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
You truly care for people, Pisces. And you want them to know it. But the office party is not the right setting for lavish displays of affection or gratitude. When you've had a couple of drinks, you tend to get mushy -- saying too much to the wrong people, even accidentally leaking secret info. So switch to sparkling water after the first drink, don't spend too long talking with any one person, and be sure you're not the last one to leave.
