All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You will get not one but several opportunities to get across your point of view and, more important, your feelings, to those you live and work with today, and if you take advantage of them, you will find that partnerships in general and relationships in particular will go well for you now. Learn to share with others, if you don't already know how. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS The only mistake you are making at the moment is that you seem to believe you have to do everything now, immediately, this very moment. On the contrary, your main aim now must be to slow down and take each moment and each task as it comes. Don't worry that you won't have time: You will always have time if what you are doing is right. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI While everyone else is running around at breakneck speed trying to gain an advantage over their rivals, you should be taking things at a much slower pace. The sun in Libra will bring the right opportunity to you at just the right time, so you really do not have to pursue anything or anyone. You don't have to be frenzied to be a success. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER The sun's move into one of the more sensitive areas of your chart today will make it easier for you to get closer, emotionally speaking, to people you have somehow drifted apart from in recent months. Start by trying to see things from their perspective. You will be surprised how easy that is, and how close their viewpoint is to your own. 1-900-990-7813* LEO You can learn a lot today, simply by listening to what other people have to tell you. Most of the time, of course, it is you who is the center of attention, but now you must let others take center stage. You will be pleasantly surprised by some of the things you discover today. There is always something new to learn, even for a Leo. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO It is important that you pay attention to what your inner voice tells you today because if you get too caught up in the world and its problems, you may miss out on something of inestimable value. Not all the answers you need are to be found out there. On the contrary, the most important can only be found in here - inside your heart. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA The talents you were born with are the talents you are supposed to be using, and at this time of year especially, you will get the chance to put them to good use. Don't let anyone try to tell you that what you are doing is misguided because only you know, deep down, what you are capable of and what your destiny should be. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO It can be comforting to listen to the experts as they seem to have all the answers, but you should know by now that the answers you really need are buried inside you - and not too far below the surface. Listen to your inner voice today and act on what it tells you. And if the experts tell you a different story, the experts are wrong. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS Do whatever it takes to make yourself heard today, but remember that in the end, it is the message itself that matters, not how loudly you shout. People will listen to you if they like what they hear and they will like what they hear if what you say comes from the heart. Sometimes, even if you have nothing to say, the silence can be profound. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN If you have a guilty conscience about something - and, according to the planets, you do - now would be a good time to confide in someone you trust. You don't have to weep and wail and make a spectacle of yourself, you just have to let him know that you regret what you said or what you did. You'll feel better for it. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS You have so many good things going for you now and so much to look forward to. Already, you can sense that your luck has changed, but it won't be until early next week that you know for sure how much is possible and how far you will go before the end of the year. The fact is, you can go as far as you like. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES You may be tempted to show certain people that you can be tough, that you can be ruthless, but is it really necessary? You are who you are for a reason, and trying to be someone or something else is an exercise in futility. Today and every day from now on, you must aim to be the best kind of person - and you already are. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml CALL HIM �L� DUQUE: http://www.nypost.com/sports/29056.htm By LENN ROBBINS Blue Jays 5 Yankees 4 The Yankees had the playoffs in their grasp.
