All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES If you let certain people get away with things they do not deserve to get away with, you will regret it later when they cause you problems simply because they think you are weak. There is a price to be paid for everything in life, and today you must let others know that the price for trying to push you around is simply not worth it. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Sometimes the best way to deal with an emotional problem is to ignore it completely, and that, in a nutshell, is what you must do today. The fact is that what you see as a problem isn't really a problem at all, it has just been magnified by your imagination until it appears to be real. Focus on something else and it will no longer exist. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI You will have to go back and take care of something today that should have been dealt with several weeks ago. As Mercury, your ruler, moves back into the area of your chart that governs how you think and how you communicate, you will realize that something you once thought of as fact is actually closer to fiction. Don't get fooled again. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER Plans you made concerning money earlier in the month will have to be revised in the light of new information. However, as Mercury is still moving retrograde, even this information cannot be trusted, so don't change things all the way back to how they were before because you may have to change them all the way back again later! 1-900-990-7813* LEO The most important thing today is that you do not give too much away about your plans and ambitions. As Mercury, planet of the mind, slips back into your birth sign, you will have to look closely at some of the decisions you made in recent weeks, but only you can change them and only you can set yourself new goals. Don't let anyone guide you. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO As Mercury, your ruling planet, moves back into the most sensitive area of your chart today, some of your old fears and worries will surface again. The good news is this is only a passing phase and in a matter of days you will realize that your subconscious can no longer hurt you, that you have at last overcome your most deep-seated anxieties. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA For some strange reason, you seem to believe that if you don't grab all you can get, you will miss out; that others will get all the tasty stuff while you have to make do with the leftovers. Even if it were true, which it is not, it does not give you the right to seize what does not belong to you. Greed is never a good thing. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO You may be a bit worried about where you are going, especially on the work front, where events seem to be spiraling out of control, but there is no need to be anxious, still less to change what you are doing. Go with the flow and trust that fate will lead you where you most need to go, even if it takes you by a roundabout route. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS It will pay you to think again about something you decided over the past three or four weeks, especially if your initial decision was made in some haste. It's not often you get the chance to go back and put things right, but you have that chance now, so don't waste it. Even a Sagittarian gets it wrong sometimes. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN What seems like good news early in the day may turn out to be anything but later in the day, so be on your guard and be ready to change your plans if it becomes obvious that you have acted in haste. Even the most far-sighted Capricorn cannot see all the possible permutations, so don't be too rigid today - or any other day, come to think of it. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS It may be tempting to withhold your approval and affection from someone who has let you down in some way, but will that make the situation better or will it make it worse? If you are wise, you will do nothing for the next few days because by the weekend the situation won't be quite so dismal and you won't be quite so bent on revenge. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES It would appear that something is worrying you, something to do with your work or your health. Most likely it is your imagination up to its tricks again, but it won't hurt to confide in someone you trust and, if possible, get expert advice. Almost certainly, you are overreacting, but you won't know for sure until you do something about it. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml TEARS OF JOY: http://www.nypost.com/sports/29457.htm By MIKE VACCARO ATHENS � The tears came again, as they had in Sydney and as they had in Atlanta, but this time Hicham El Guerrouj welcomed them, let them pour from his heart, through his eyes, onto the red asphalt at the bottom of Olympic Stadium.

DREAM HOMES: http://www.nypost.com/realestate/18885.htm East Hampton, L.I. $34.4 millionIn the Hamptons, this is what they call a bulk discount: For just a little more than the current payroll of the Cleveland Indians, you get not one, not two, but five separate, adjoining lots, ranging in size from 1 acre to 2.5 acres, all with beach access. But wait, there's more: One of the lots even includes two buildings - a 5,600-square-foot, four-bedroom main house, plus a slightly smaller guesthouse. Each house has its own pool and spa and separate gated entry. It should be noted that each lot in this do-it-yourself compound may be purchased separately - but is that any way to save money?
