All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You may like to pretend that you are not very sensitive, that your emotions are under complete control, but you know it isn't true and quite a few other people know it as well. Some of those people will try to upset you today, but they will only succeed if you are not aware of what they are up to. Don't let them provoke you. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Solar and planetary activity in the work and well-being area of your chart will make this an interesting week and it will be a successful week, too, as long as you stay calm and don't let anything upset your emotional equilibrium. Also, don't think you have to change things to keep up with the times. Maybe the times should keep up with you. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI Anyone who thinks you have been taking things too easily lately will have to think again this week as you go all out to prove you have what it takes to succeed. This is also a good time for affairs of the heart, so don't spend all your time and energy on work and creative activities. Love can be rewarding as well. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER This could and should be a highly productive time for you, but for best results, you must work with other people. Family and friends will gladly assist you in whatever it is you are trying to do, but only if you ask them directly. Sadly, they know how sharp your tongue can be - some of them still carry the scars. 1-900-990-7813* LEO You won't lack energy or enthusiasm today; in fact, you may have a bit too much of both. You are about to embark on a rather lengthy period of intense physical and mental activity, so it might be wise to conserve your resources a bit over the next two or three days. Don't exhaust yourself too soon. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO What you must bear in mind today - and, come to think of it, throughout the entire week to come - is that you have nothing to prove, either to yourself or to other people. Make sure that what you agree to do is truly what you want to do and not what others have persuaded you to do. Put your own needs first -today and tomorrow and every day from now on. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA You should by now be poised to start something new, something exciting, some project that engages you completely. However, you must hold back that excitement until after the sun moves into your birth sign on Wednesday. If you go off too soon, you won't accomplish as much as you could have or should have. Astrology is all about timing, and at the moment, the time is nearly, but not quite, right. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO This should be a fun-filled day for you, even if it turns out to be the kind of Monday when you have rather a lot to do (including all those things you should have finished up last week). If you have fallen a long way behind your schedule,get your friends to help you out - they will be glad to do it if you ask them. Then take them out and have some fun. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS There is still time to make a good impression on an employer or someone else in a position of authority, but if you leave it much longer, the chance will be gone - so act soon. Just because you know what you are capable of does not mean everyone else knows, so spell it out for them and get ready to move up in the world. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN Changes in your work and career will make it hard for you to plan too far ahead, but in a way, that's good because you will achieve more in the long run if you react to how things happen rather than try to make things happen for yourself. Today you must relax and conserve your energy because the next few weeks are going to be hectic. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS If there is something you need to say that may not be very pleasant, either for other people or for yourself, say it now and get it over with. Once the sun changes signs on Wednesday, you will have more important, and more enjoyable, things on your mind, so be Mr. Nasty now and you can be Mr. Nice later. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES Self-confidence is by far the most important thing you can have, and the fact is, you are going to need plenty of it over the next few weeks. Therefore, it might be best to steer clear of areas where you are not too sure of your ground. If you can't steer clear of them, you must do your homework so you know what you are talking about. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml BOMBERS LEAVE BOSOX BURIED: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28919.htm By GEORGE KING When it comes to chasing the AL East title, the Red Sox are 3-D.

LIBERTY PROVE BLAZE CORRECT: http://www.nypost.com/sports/28914.htm By DAVE CURTIS She says it 10 weeks later, and now there's no doubting her logic.

EUROS COUNT ON BIG 3: http://www.nypost.com/sports/28915.htm By MARK CANNIZZARO BLOOMFIELD TWP., Mich. � Many were left talking about the America's "Big 4" and how they failed so miserably in this Ryder Cup.

NO MEASURING GARY'S VALUE: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28903.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN Aaron Boone and Bucky Dent both have unprintable middle names up in Boston, but here at the Stadium, Gary Sheffield has his very own surname that the fans and his teammates are beginning to serenade him with as the marathon season turns into an autumn playoff run. SHOULDER BOTHERING SHEFFIELD: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28909.htm By GEORGE KING Gary Sheffield took two cortisone shots in his barking left shoulder during yesterday's game against the Red Sox in which he slugged a two-run homer. Now, the MVP candidate will wait to see how many games he will miss. BOSS WON'T BOAST: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28883.htm By DAN MARTIN Despite watching his team win two of three against the Red Sox this weekend, with only a blown save by Mariano Rivera preventing a sweep, George Steinbrenner refused to gloat. BOSOX PROMISE THEY'LL BOUNCE BACK: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28884.htm By MICHAEL MORRISSEY The Red Sox may be comatose as far as the AL East is concerned � just don't call them demoralized. DEREK DOES IT AGAIN: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28885.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN It's September and the Yankees were trying to hold off the Red Sox to maintain their firm grip on first place in the AL East, and as usual, there was Derek Jeter, the Bombers' captain, doing it all yesterday in a second straight lopsided victory.

A night earlier, Coughlin may have helped set the stage for the triumph when he showed the team a specially-created video. KURT SAVORS FIRST 'W' AS A JINT: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/28910.htm By BRIAN LEWIS Just moments after Kurt Warner had helped pass the Giants to a 20-14 win over Washington the quarterback sat at his locker and marveled, "It feels good to win." SLOPPY SKINS IRRITATE GIBBS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/28911.htm By BRIAN LEWIS Redskin coach Joe Gibbs has suffered through plenty of losses at Giants Stadium with a host of bad memories. And while the 1986 NFC title game is the most painful, yesterday's 20-14 defeat might be the most vexing. SUPER-CHARGED: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/28917.htm By STEVE SERBY SAN DIEGO � The Jets were reeling. The crowd was roaring. And Chad Pennington just yawned. A 27-7 lead had dwindled to 27-21 and it was time for the Jets' franchise quarterback to do something about it. The Chargers weren't going to let Curtis Martin to beat them, so they dared Pennington to beat them. MARTIN MAKES HISTORY: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/28918.htm By STEVE SERBY SAN DIEGO � Curtis Martin picked up right where he left off.
