All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES There is a reason for everything that happens in life, and that fact does not change just because you cannot work out what that reason might be. The good news is that beginning today you will be able to make sense of a number of things that previously made no sense at all. Also, travel plans that had to be delayed will get the green light at last. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Everyone makes mistakes: You are in no way special as far as that is concerned. The important thing is that when you do something wrong, you recognize the fact and do something about it. So, if you made an error of judgment concerning a money matter, now is the time to hold up your hand. No one will think any the less of you for it. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI You cannot always see eye to eye with other people and, let's face it, the world would be a boring place if everyone agreed all the time. Having said that, as Mercury, your ruler, moves into your opposite sign today, you would be wise to kiss and make up with someone you have fallen out with lately. Your disagreement is trivial. Get over it. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER Don't be surprised if you change your mind about something today that you seemed so sure about yesterday. And don't be surprised if friends and colleagues are not too happy about it. On the work front, especially, you will have to placate those who feel you have let them down. Trouble is, they may not trust your promises this time. 1-900-990-7813* LEO You may be fixed in your opinions, but that won't stop the world from turning and it won't stop others from disagreeing with you. This is actually a pretty good time for you, but it could be so much better if you would learn to accept that other people's ideas are as valid for them as your ideas are for you. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO Nothing is set in stone, and you need to remind yourself of that fact today. As Mercury, your ruler, moves into the domestic sector of your chart, you must expect changes of some sort on the home front, but they are nothing to worry about and certainly should not be resisted. Everything happens for a reason - you should know that by now. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA A social invitation of some kind will come your way today, and if you are sensible you will accept it immediately. Not only will it be a lot of fun, but it could also lead to a new career opportunity. What you know is important, but who you know is often the tie-breaker when two equally qualified people are going after the same job. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO If someone pressures you to do something you do not feel 100 per cent happy with, you must resist. That applies to all areas of your life, but especially to money matters. As Mercury moves into the area of your chart that governs what you own and what you earn today, you cannot afford to take chances. What you need are certainties. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You have never been shy about expressing your opinions, and as Mercury, planet of communication, moves into your sign today, you won't hesitate to let everyone know what is going on in your mind. But is that such a good idea? Would it not be better, and safer, to keep certain ideas to yourself? Think before you speak and before you act. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN Something that never bothered you much in the past will start to bother you today, and for no obvious reason. The more you dwell on it, the more you will worry about it, so pull your mind away from the issue and focus on something that makes you feel good about yourself. There are still plenty of things you have to be thankful for. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS You won't lack inspiration today; in fact, you will be bubbling with lots of new ideas. If you want to make the most of them, you will have to do two very important things: First, focus on those one or two ideas that are most likely to pay off; second, make strategic alliances with people who have the kind of expertise you do not possess yourself. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES If you get the chance to move up in the world in some way today, go for it. Don't worry that you are not qualified for the job because enthusiasm is more important and you will gain experience as you go along. Someone in a position of authority will give you the chance you have been waiting for. Don't waste it. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml WILLIE GETS NOD: http://www.nypost.com/sports/31638.htm By MARK HALE The kid who grew up in Brooklyn rooting for the Miracle Mets has earned the chance of a lifetime.
