All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES A job worth doing is a job worth doing well and you won't need anyone to tell you to give quality service today. A new moon in the work area of your solar chart means you are determined to prove that the Aries reputation for selfishness is unjust. Besides, you are well aware that what you do for others you also do for yourself. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS A new moon in the most dynamic area of your chart means you won't hesitate to put your own interests first, and there is really no good reason you should not. Creatively and romantically, the next two or three days promise to be special, so know what you want, know where to get it and know that you cannot possibly fail. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI There is no point in getting upset about things you have no control over, and you really should know that by now. No matter what happens today and no matter how annoying it might be, you must stay calm and you must not let people get under your skin. Think of it as a game - a game you can win, if you don't take it too seriously. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER One way or another, you will be on the move today - in fact, you will only be happy if you are visiting new places and meeting new people. Cancer may not be the most outgoing sign of the zodiac, but you have your moments, and you will have more than your share of them over the next 24 hours. You should be like this more often. 1-900-990-7813* LEO A new moon in the money sector of your chart holds out the possibility of making some real money from a venture, but before you get carried away and start thinking you are going to be rich, be warned that even if you do make your fortune, it will cost you in other ways. Think what you will have to give up before you decide to proceed. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO You will act as if you own the world today and, if you play your cards right, maybe you will. A new moon in your birth sign makes you believe that nothing is beyond you, that anything is possible, and even if that is not entirely true, it will inspire you to take risks, at least one of which will pay off in a big way. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA You know you have nothing to fear, but for some strange reason you still can't quite shake the feeling that the bottom is about to fall out of your world. Don't worry, it isn't. On the contrary, beginning today, your confidence will start to return and by this time next week you will be rushing to greet the future, not scared half to death by it. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO You are entitled to your opinions and you are entitled to express them - loudly and aggressively, if you so wish - but you are not entitled to expect that everyone will agree with you. That is a lesson that does not yet seem to have penetrated your robust Scorpio psyche, but it will over the next two or three days. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You know you deserve more from life than you are currently enjoying, but you won't get it until you take command of your own destiny. Today's new moon will help you to break free of situations that are holding you back from fulfilling your true potential, but this won't just happen by magic - the desire and the effort must come from you. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN You will get the chance to think deeply about life today - not just your own life, but life in general - and the conclusions you reach will have a profound and lasting effect on the way you deal with the world. Forget about material things for a while - they have their place, but their place is not here and not now. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS You may be tempted clear out a lot of junk today - not just material junk but emotional junk, too. If you feel the need to scrap everything and start again from scratch, you could not pick a better time to do so, but make sure you only get rid of those things that are negative - some things in your life are worth holding on to. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES Partners and loved ones seem to have it all at the moment, while you have nothing at all - at least nothing worth boasting about. But is it really that bad or are you just letting your emotions get the better of you? If you cannot find something to enjoy in your own life, there is nothing stopping you enjoying other people's good fortune. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml ART: IF I'M GONE, AX ME NOW!: http://www.nypost.com/sports/mets/28542.htm By MARK HALE If the decision has already been made to fire Art Howe at the end of the season, the Met manager has a simple question: Why wait?

LOST SEASON NOW OFFICIAL: http://www.nypost.com/sports/mets/28539.htm By MARK HALE It's official. There will be a losing season at Shea this year.

GIANT DISAPPOINTMENT: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/28536.htm By PAUL SCHWARTZ Mark this down.

THE 'D' IS DREADFUL: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/28529.htm By PAUL SCHWARTZ QUARTERBACKS Sometime soon, Kurt Warner (16 of 28, 203 yards) is going to have to win a game and throw a TD pass.

QUICK STRIKE: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/28543.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN It's only one game, one win, one week out of 16, but Sunday's 31-24 victory over the Bengals represented a striking changing of the guard for the Jets, a new mentality that has both refreshed and energized an offense that in the past had been maddeningly stagnant and downright predictable. MARTIN FIRED UP OVER 'NEW BEGINNING': http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/28533.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN Herman Edwards yesterday compared Curtis Martin's 196-yard effort in the Jets' 31-24 win over the Bengals to the efforts of the great Jim Brown. Ironically, Brown phoned Martin after Sunday's game to congratulate him. NICE WAY TO BEGIN: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/28531.htm By MARK CANNIZZARO QUARTERBACKWhat's amazing about Chad Penn- ington (20-27, 224 yards, 2 TDs, 123.1 rating) is that he wasn't even considered a star of the Jets' win despite putting up marvel ous numbers. BREEN GETS KNICK JOB: http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/28538.htm By ANDREW MARCHAND While MSG Network officially named Mike Breen the voice of the Knicks on TV yesterday, the man he replaced has yet to find another local job.
