All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES Partners and colleagues may expect you to spend time with them today, but you have other plans. The sun in Virgo means you have certain duties to fulfill, but it does not mean you are a slave to others' desires. Make sure everyone knows that you are the boss. You don't have to be selfish about it, but you do have to look out for No. 1. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS You will have to make sacrifices above and beyond the call of duty today, but the effort will be worth it. Solar and planetary activity in your fellow earth sign of Virgo means you not only have enough energy and enthusiasm to get things done for yourself, but for other people as well. Make sure those that you help are those who deserve it. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI You need to stand back from your everyday worries and see your life from a wider, and truer, perspective. At this time of year more than most, it can be easy to believe that the odds are stacked against you, that nothing will ever go right for you again, but that is an illusion brought about by too narrow a focus. Expand your viewpoint. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER It may be true that hard work never hurt anyone, but why take the risk? According to the planets, you are not much in the mood for serious things at the moment, so do what you have to do as quickly as you can without making a poor job of it, then devote yourself to the kind of social activities that bring a smile to your face. 1-900-990-7813* LEO Although the material aspects of life seem to be taking up a great deal of your time, that does not mean you must focus on them to the exclusion of everything else. Your main task today is to balance your pursuit of money and possessions with something of a more spiritual nature, something that reminds you what life is really about. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO Sometimes you can be too much of a perfectionist. Sometimes the standards you set are almost impossible to reach. The sun in your birth sign, along with Jupiter and Mars, makes you intensely ambitious, but you must not forget that you have natural limits. Set your sights high today, but not so high that you risk failure or exhaustion, or both. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA It might be wise to keep what you know to yourself today, especially if the knowledge you have been given is in some way dangerous to the status quo. There is a time to rock the boat, to incite upheaval, but that time is not yet, so keep studying and keep learning, and keep in mind that not everyone shares your desire to do good. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO You won't have to try too hard to make an impression today - in fact, you won't have to try at all. Friends and family know what you are capable of and admire you for it, but even people in positions of power are beginning to realize that there is something special about you. You will make both allies and enemies over the next 24 hours. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS The sun in Virgo, alongside Mars, planet of ego, and Jupiter, your ruler, makes you tremendously ambitious, but ambition alone is not enough. You need to pursue something that is worthy of your time and your energy. What that something might be will be a little clearer today, though no final decision must be made until early next month. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN You are determined to do something different, something out of the ordinary, something that has never been done before. And so you shall. However, while Mercury, planet of the mind, is moving retrograde, you must be extra careful that you do not mislead yourself about what is and what is not possible. Temper your enthusiasm with common sense and caution. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS You will accomplish more today if you can get yourself out of the habit of trying to do everything alone. At this time of year, while the sun is moving through the area of your chart that governs joint activities of a financial nature, it will pay you to be less independent. You don't have to like people, you just have to work with them. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES You seem to be under quite a bit of pressure at the moment and that pressure will build the closer you get to next Monday's full moon. You can, of course, make life easier by taking nothing too seriously, least of all yourself. Don't focus on winning, focus on having a good time and, in the process, learning what you can about other people. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml 'BIGGEST WIN OF YEAR': http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/27400.htm By GEORGE KING CLEVELAND � After Gary Sheffield's latest clutch homer halted a losing streak and the news was good on Derek Jeter's left elbow, the Yankees' AL MVP candidate admitted something a lot of Yankees felt.
