All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES There is no point trying to force others to do your bidding today because they won't put up with it. Not only that, but they will make such an emotional scene that even you will be embarrassed. If there is something that needs doing, either do it yourself or, if that's not possible, hire someone to help you - money talks louder than words. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Brush up on your social skills and try to get out and about a bit. The planets indicate that someone you encounter on your travels will turn out to be a very important contact, both on a personal level and professionally, but you won't get to know him unless you make an effort to meet people and, of course, talk to them. It's not really so difficult. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI If others won't give you what you know you deserve, then you will just have to take it for yourself. You have worked long and hard to reach your current position and there must be some kind of payoff. Kick up a fuss if you have to - the louder the better. Sooner or later, others will give in to your demands. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER You may be eager for success, but are you ready to take on the responsibilities that go with it? That is the question you must answer today and only when you have done that will you know for sure what your next move must be. Remember, once you have signed on the line, you won't be able to back out of the deal. 1-900-990-7813* LEO There seems to be something that is holding you back, something that is stopping you from reaching your true potential. According to the planets, it is your own self-doubt - well hidden, of course - that is preventing you from pushing ahead and making a name for yourself. Don't be so bashful: You're a Leo - you've got what it takes. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO The most important thing today is that you keep your long-term goals in mind and do not let anyone talk you into abandoning your quest. So-called friends will come up with all sorts of reasons you should give a second thought to what you are doing, but you must be true to your instincts and not be diverted by anything they say. Only you know what you are capable of. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA You will get what you want today, that much is obvious, but you will also have to pay a high price for it. Saturn, planet of accomplishment but also of limitation, will reward you for all the hard work you have done, but it will also ask you to sacrifice something that means a lot to you. Only you can decide if it is worth it. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO Your confidence will get a much-needed boost today, but you may still be reluctant to take chances with cash. That's not a bad thing as such, but at some stage you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that to get some, you also have to give some - you cannot realistically expect it to be all one way. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You will be in one of your impulsive moods today, which could be bad news for your bank balance. Don't go spending money on things you don't need unless you know you can afford them - and, assuming you have not suddenly come into an inheritance, you know full well you cannot. By all means, live for today, but save something for tomorrow as well. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN You will be called upon to help someone in need today and no matter how busy you might be with your own tasks and chores, you must come to his aid. The fact is, this person has done favors for you many times in the past and you should be pleased you are getting the chance to repay him now. Help willingly, not grudgingly. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Stand back from what you are working on and make sure it is still going according to plan. The planets warn that you may have deviated from your blueprint by a small amount, and while it may not seem such a big issue now, over time the gap will grow until you lose sight of your original aim. You cannot allow that to happen. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES It is time to start working on something of a creative or artistic nature that you have been thinking about for quite some time. But it is only worth starting if you are fully prepared for the effort, both physical and mental, that it will take to make a success of the project. Either put everything into it, or forget all about it. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml A MIGHTY WIN: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/19265.htm By MICHAEL MORRISSEY Lightning struck twice for Joe Torre last night, and now the Yankees might have a truly dangerous 1-2 punch in Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
