All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES If you make an important decision on emotion alone today, you are sure to regret it by the end of the week. Planetary activity in your opposite sign of Libra is once again warning you that, where your feelings are concerned, you will be easily misled. Others will seek to manipulate you, but you don't have to make it easy for them. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS If you take risks on the work front today, you could find yourself shunned by those who want things done by the book. Will that stop you? Of course it won't - if anything, it will encourage you to be even more adventurous where methods and routines are concerned. Just be careful you don't do too much too soon and damage your health. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI Someone you thought was an enemy will be revealed as a friend in disguise today, which just goes to prove you cannot always take people at face value. Changes on the work front over the next two or three days may be unsettling, but now you know you have an ally you can depend on, you won't be so afraid of change. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER This is one of the very best times of the year for you and it will get even better over the next 72 hours. Creatively and romantically, the sky is the limit, and with travel plans well starred at the moment as well, you could be taking to the sky some day soon. At the very least, you will get heart-warming news from a faraway location. 1-900-990-7813* LEO Let a friend or a family member who is feeling a bit down at the moment know that you care and that you will always be there for him. Your sympathy could be all it takes to get him out of his current bad mood and have him smiling again. One small word of kindness can have a knock-out effect that might one day change the world. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO You seem to be taking a lot of small losses and also a lot of small gains lately. The good news is they will generally balance each other out, so you won't wind up in worse shape. The even better news is that a partnership matter is about to be resolved in your favor. Money may not be a factor, but peace of mind will be priceless. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA If you need assistance today - and, according to the planets, you will - you must let everyone know about it. There is nothing heroic about keeping your pain to yourself, not when friends and family are ready and willing to help you. You have done much for others in their hour of need - now let them do something for you. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO Although the sun is transiting your birth sign and although Mars is about to move in your favor as well, there is a part of you that still can't shake off the idea that something bad is about to happen. Of course, if you think like that, it most likely will, so focus only on positive things and - surprise! - only positive things will occur. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS A long-term friendship will be strengthened in some way today - in fact, you may become more than just friends. Also, the moon's eclipse of Venus, planet of love, in the area of your chart that governs clubs, societies and group activities means this is no time for staying at home. Get out and meet people - they want to meet you. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN You will be able to twist employers and other authority figures around your little finger today - they will not be able to resist your charm and your way with words. Will you abuse this power? Maybe, but there is no logical reason you should not take advantage of it. If you want to move up in the world, you are going to need powerful friends. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS You need to strike a blow for freedom today. You need to let those who would like to take away your right to think and speak for yourself that you are not having it; that you will fight them all the way. Now, more than ever, the world needs people who are not afraid to stand up and be counted. Be one of those people. Make your voice heard. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES This is no time to be suspicious. If you let fear get the better of you today, you will miss out on something that would have been a lot of fun - and might even have made you a lot of money. Keep telling yourself you have nothing to be anxious about and keep telling yourself that no one got anywhere worth going without taking a few risks. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml THAT'S MORE LIKE IT: http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/33821.htm By MARC BERMAN With the noose tightening around his neck, embattled coach Lenny Wilkens tightened his rotation last night.
