All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES Some things may seem funny to you, but not everyone shares your crazy sense of humor, especially when the joke is on him, so don't be surprised if a friend or colleague remains straight-faced today while you are rolling around the floor, laughing your head off. And watch out he doesn't try to get back at you. He will want his revenge. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS This is a highly positive and potentially passionate time of the year for you, but to make the most of it, you have got to be a bit more outgoing - make that a lot more outgoing if you are the type of Taurus who tends to sit back and let life to come to you. Let those you are attracted to know that you are interested - don't leave them guessing. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI You need to be more aware of how you come across to other people, especially your tendency to browbeat them with facts and figures and opinions. Some people simply do not have the strength to take that kind of intellectual pounding, so make allowances and, more important, make the effort to get to know what they think and how they feel. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER Your attitude to life in general is amazingly open at the moment. For once you are not in the least bit reserved, especially when it comes to expressing your opinion about what is going on in the world. Not everyone will agree with you, but at least there is a dialogue going. It sure beats your occasional long silences. 1-900-990-7813* LEO Solar and planetary activity in the money sector of your chart indicates that if you want to get rich, you will find a way. It may not be obvious what that way is until the end of next week, when Mercury, planet of the mind, moves back into Virgo after a period of retrograde motion, but in the meantime you can dream. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO You may not be the kind of person who likes to gamble, but with both Mars and Jupiter transiting your birth sign, you will be more inclined than usual to take risks. As long as they are calculated risks, you will come to no harm, and could even make a lot of money, but foolish risks are inadvisable, no matter what the planets are doing. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA Your rivals seem to know a lot more about you than you know about them, and that puts you at a great disadvantage. Beginning today, you need to be a bit more mysterious, especially if you are the kind of Libran who tends to gabble non-stop about what you are doing and why. You've got to keep others guessing. Knowledge is power. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO It is important that you play things by the book today because others are looking to you to provide a moral lead. Be true to your principles and resist the temptation to cut corners merely because you can. This is a great time for friendships and group activities, and it will be even better if you are all working on the same ethical level. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS If you have ever wanted to be seen as a success on a material or occupational level, now is the time to make your bid for glory. With both the sun and Mars occupying the career sector of your chart alongside Jupiter, your ruling planet, there is no reason you should not reach the top of the heap in your chosen profession. Go for it. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN The most important thing today is that you trust your instincts and keep on trusting them, even though those who claim to be in the know say you have got it all wrong. The knowledge you need comes not from without but from within, so listen to what your inner voice is trying to say and then act on what it tells you. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Something you have kept secret for quite a long time will come to the surface over the next two or three days and you will no longer be able to deny what others can now see for themselves. In a way, it will be a great relief because you will no longer have to play silly games and pretend to be someone and something you know you are not. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES There is no point trying to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself over the next 24 hours because loved ones and colleagues will be able to read on your face what it is you are trying to hide. At this time of year, more than most, you need to be totally honest about what is going on inside your head and inside your heart. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml DISASTER! TRIBE TRAMPLES YANKS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/29760.htm By MICHAEL MORRISSEY At 7:39 p.m., Javier Vazquez exited a putrid outing in the second inning to a chorus of boos reminiscent of ancient Roman times. Up in Boston, the Red Sox already led Anaheim by four runs in the first. The worst was yet to come � the worst loss in Yankee history, that is. Vazquez's 11/3-inning, six-run stint set the horrific tone in a 22-0 rout by Cleveland, which tied the worst shutout in major-league history since 1900. "I feel embarrassed, sure," Vazquez said. NOT LOOKIN' GOOD: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/29759.htm IT could have been worse. Actually, no, it couldn't have. This was about more than the Yankees being crushed 22-0 by the Indians last night. And suffering the most humiliating loss of the Joe Torre era with George Steinbrenner on hand.

Entertainment: http://web1.nypost.com/entertainment/entertainment.htm GOP GIVES B'WAY MIXED MESSAGE: http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/27845.htm By MICHAEL RIEDEL WITH its sly digs at "rigged" elections, steamy interracial sex scenes and a big old drag queen named Edna Turnblad at its center, "Hairspray" prob ably never stood a chance of making the list of GOP-approved shows attended by Republican delegates last Sunday. But not all Republicans are giving it the cold shoulder. RUDY RATINGS DANCE: http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/27834.htm RUDY Giuliani set New York on fire Monday night. The former mayor's stemwinding address to the Republican National Convention Monday night was the top-rated show in its hour.

(The speech was also carried locally on WNYW/Fox 5 and UPN 9.)

Movie Reviews: http://web1.nypost.com/movies/movies.htm 'VANITY' FLAIR: http://www.nypost.com/movies/27848.htm By MEGAN LEHMANN VANITY FAIR INDIAN-born filmmaker Mira Nair spices up her adaptation of the classic Victorian novel "Vanity Fair" with an exuberantly colorful palette and a subtly modern sensibility. But it's the unfailingly contemporary look of Reese Witherspoon � who can't help but look like a spunky 21st-century heroine, even in period garb � that gives William Makepeace Thackeray's 1848 story an up-to-date resonance.

The sublime � politically speaking � was Arnold Schwarzenegger's electrifying speech, which was so effective that Rudy Giuliani and John McCain and everybody else who wants to reside in the White House come 2009 are thanking God and the Founding Fathers for including the little detail in the Constitution about how you have to be American-born to be president.
