All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES If you keep your cool today, you will make a good impression on people whose power and authority it would be good to have on your side. While everyone else is running around like chickens without their heads, you will be the picture of peace and tranquility - at least you will look good, even if you do not have any idea what is going on. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Taurus may not be the most flexible sign of the zodiac, but you must make an effort to adapt over the next 24 hours. Creatively and romantically, you have a lot going for you at the moment, but to make the most of it, you need to be a bit less set in your ways. Don't be so suspicious of change - it can sometimes be good. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI You will learn something to your advantage today, and if you are smart, you will keep it to yourself, for the time being at least. Knowledge is power, and what you find out about a person or a situation could make a really big difference to your status and earning ability. You may like to chat, but, just this once, keep your lips sealed. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER You should not feel guilty about wanting to go out and have a good time. Sometimes it is good to get away from your duties and chores and focus your mind on things you truly enjoy. The entry of Mercury, planet of the mind, into the most sociable area of your chart today will convince you that it's OK to have fun. 1-900-990-7813* LEO Now that you know what it is that you expect of yourself, it comes down to applying yourself. On the cash front, especially, you know what changes need to be made and you know that the sooner you make them, the better off you will be. Make an effort to get your financial house in order today and your money worries will soon be over. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO Mercury, your ruling planet, moves back into your birth sign today, and almost immediately, you will feel whole and alive again. The next seven to 10 days are potentially the best of the year for you, so promise yourself now that you will take full advantage of any opportunities that might come your way - and there will be plenty of them. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA Your feelings could be a little bit fragile today, so steer clear of situations that are too challenging and stay away from people who are rude and insensitive. If other people get the impression that you are being aloof, that's good because it means they are more likely to leave you alone. Some days, it is best to restrict yourself to your own company. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO It is possible to be too nice for your own good, and that could be a problem today if you try to solve other people's problems all by yourself. Be generous, by all means, especially with your time and your sympathy, but recognize, too, that real change comes from within - so there is only so much you can do personally. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You will see with the utmost clarity today what it is you should be doing with your life. As Mercury, planet of the mind, crosses the midheaven angle of your chart, you won't be able to kid yourself any longer about what is and what is not possible, nor will you want to. It's time to get serious about your ambitions. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN This is one of the best times of the year for you and it gets even better today as Mercury, planet of communication, joins the sun, Mars and Jupiter in your fellow earth sign of Virgo. Any doubts you had about what you were doing will disappear over the next 24 hours, and what you achieve over the next few days will put everything else in the shade. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Beginning today, you will find it easier to put a name to the fears that have been haunting you, and once you have put a name to them, you can do something about them. Most likely, you have been worrying for no good reason, but even if there is something you were right to be anxious about, it will no longer be such a big deal. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES There is so much activity in your opposite sign of Virgo at the moment that it may seem as if you have no control at all over what is going on. That may or may not be true, but either way, it isn't that important - what matters is that you have control over yourself. It's how you react to events that will determine if you win or lose. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml YANKS SWEEP, LEAD BY 3 1/2: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/19372.htm By MICHAEL MORRISSEY When Lou Piniella argued in the third inning with plate umpire Phil Cuzzi, complaining that it was raining too hard in the second game of yesterday's doubleheader, it was Tampa Bay's company line.
