All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You will get on well with almost everyone you meet today, but you must not allow yourself to be fooled into thinking that everyone wants the best for you. On the work front, especially, be wary of those who promise you the world if you would only do something for them - they might mean it now, but they will go back on their word later. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Someone you meet socially will set your heart racing and it may take a long time to get your rational mind back to normal. Have fun, by all means, but don't take a new relationship too seriously because there is no guarantee it will develop into something long-lasting. Enjoy it for what it is - anything more will be a bonus. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI Some things are worth worrying about and some things are not, and in some way or other, you will learn to tell the difference between them today. Material things, in particular, won't mean as much to you over the next 24 hours and that's good because you have been worrying far too much lately about what you own and what you earn. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER You will make an instant impression on people today - and a good impression, at that. Venus in your birth sign takes away the hard edge to your personality that sometimes makes it difficult for others to approach you and you may be surprised how many people want to get close to you. Don't turn anyone away - you've enough love to go around. 1-900-990-7813* LEO You don't need other people's blessing or approval for what you are planning to do. All you need is the confidence to start and the courage to follow through until you have made a success of whatever it is that means so much to you. Even the doubters will praise you when they see that they were wrong and you were right. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO Your confidence is sky-high at the moment and it will climb even higher over the next 24 hours as Jupiter in your birth sign aspects Venus, planet of love and harmony. Friendships and group activities will go really well for you now, so get out and about and see and be seen. Everyone you meet will be inspired by your positive attitude. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA You will be able to charm your way past others' defenses with ease today. Venus, your ruler, is nicely aligned with Jupiter, planet of luck and good fortune, over the next 24 hours, so if you make friends with the right sort of people, there is no telling where it might lead, socially or professionally. Get to know some VIPs. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO This is the ideal day to take a trip of some sort, not for a particular reason, but for the sheer fun of it. Planetary activity in your fellow water sign of Cancer will smooth your path wherever you go and whatever you do, so don't limit yourself by focusing on the things that could go wrong, because it will all go right for you today. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS Make sure that what you wish for today is what you truly desire because not only will you get it, but you won't be able to give it back if you decide later on that you don't want it after all. Also, be careful what promises you make to people in positions of power because they will hold you to them, come what may. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN You don't need to be assertive or aggressive to get what you want. On the contrary, the current planetary setup indicates that you will gain more on every level if you take an easygoing approach, both in your personal life and at work. Aim high, by all means, but don't think you have to climb over others to get to the top. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS There are ways to get people to help you without using threats or bribes or other underhanded methods. The planetary picture is so good at the moment that most people will respond positively if you approach them the right way - that is, as equals and partners, not as rivals or enemies. Ask nicely and they will do anything for you. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES This is one of the best days of the year for dealing with other people, especially at home and in one-to-one situations. You don't have to come on strong to make your point - on the contrary, you will make it better if you say what you have to say calmly and clearly and let others make their minds up about it. They know you're sincere. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml SERENA SWEEPS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/27927.htm By MARC BERMAN Serena Williams struck again yesterday, this time in daylight, unveiling an even skimpier outfit than her denim number from Monday night.

He knows from shading the sides of his nose to slim it, powdering down the forehead because perspiration makes you look nervous, warming up the skin under the jawline which makes excess flesh disappear, highlighting those nose-to-mouth labial folds.
