All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You would be wise to think before you act today, especially if you are the kind of Aries who tends to be a bit impetuous. Make sure you know what is going on before jumping head first into a situation that is rife with things that could go wrong. Let someone else make the first move and learn from what happens to him. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS You may be tempted to throw your money at the first bright and shiny thing you get the chance to buy, but if you do, you will soon regret it. It's not often you are parted so easily from your cash, but the current planetary setup makes it easy to confuse you, and there are plenty of people out there who would like to get rich at your expense. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI By all means, make bold decisions, but make sure they are right decisions. There is more at stake than you appear to realize and if you get it wrong today, the repercussions could be massive, so make sure you know all the facts and don't let others hurry you into doing something that may not be in your best interests. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER Everyone takes a wrong turn now and again - it is nothing to be ashamed of. The important thing is that you know you have strayed from the path you should be taking, and what happens over the next 48 hours will leave you in no doubt at all that it is time for a change. You can make it yourself or you can have it forced on you. 1-900-990-7813* LEO There is an element of risk in most things in life, and you are well aware that what you are planning could go badly wrong. You are also aware that if you don't go ahead with it, you will hate yourself for being so timid, so prepare as well as you can, and then jump right in and pray that it all goes according to plan. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO You may be entitled to get angry with someone who has let you down or made some kind of silly mistake, but before you do, ask yourself if it is likely to make the situation better or worse. Chances are it would be more sensible to forgive and forget, especially because he will then be in your debt and more willing to make amends. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA Some days it is sensible to follow your hunches and some days it is not, and if the planets are to be believed, this is one of the latter. In fact, your best course of action today is to take no action at all. Keep your head down and let others take the risks. You can learn, and profit from, their inevitable mistakes. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO What matters most today is that you do not let others order you around. Yes, recent readings for your sign have emphasized the need to work with other people, but that does not mean they have the right to dictate to you what you should do and how you should do it. If you are working as part of a team, there must be equality. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You are likely to be very impatient today, especially on the work front, where you just can't understand why some people are unable to keep up with you. The simple fact is that not everyone shares your energy or your enthusiasm, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you will calm down and find ways to get the best out of your co-workers. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN It would be nice if everyone shared your views on the world and its problems, but you know they do not, so don't waste time trying to persuade them. In fact, it might be wise today to avoid even discussing certain contentious issues because it could result in a serious falling out with people you otherwise get along with just fine. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Misunderstandings will be costly today, so make sure you spell out what it is you are trying to accomplish and make sure everyone is on the same wavelength, because if they are not, the result will be chaos. Also, if what you are planning is going to eat into your savings, it might be wise to build up your resources first. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES The next two days could be make or break for you, and as there is a powerful Mars-Pluto aspect looming, you must be careful that you don't do or say anything that might bring a profitable relationship to a premature end. Employers and other important people are best handled with care over the next 48 hours - don't bruise their fragile egos! 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml REAL YANKEES DON'T CRY: http://www.nypost.com/sports/28209.htm HOW interesting and yet sad that the guy who most flouts major-league directives is whining that another team refused to heed the Commissioners Office.

IT'LL BE FLAG FOOTBALL: http://www.nypost.com/sports/28204.htm By GEORGE WILLIS FOXBORO � When a per son is mugged, what's the first thing he or she normally does? Call the cops.

YANKEES STILL SEEK PAYBACK: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28219.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN and GEORGE KING gue Baseball and the Yankees appeared to get wider in the wake of Monday's aborted doubleheader with the Devil Rays. PRICE FOR CUBAN'S TOO HIGH: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28217.htm By GEORGE KING YANKEE NOTES According to baseball sources, if Cuban refugee Kendry Morales sticks to his demands for a major-league contract worth between $10 million and $15 million, the Yankees are out of play. 2 GOOD TO BE TRUE: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28218.htm By GEORGE KING Two games is certainly too small a sampling for Joe Torre to state that Alex Rodriguez is his permanent No. 2 hitter. However, as long as A-Rod looks like he did Monday and Tuesday batting behind Derek Jeter and in front of Gary Sheffield, A-Rod has found a new home in the Yankees' lineup. RAINOUT MUDDLES SCHEDULE: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/28213.htm By GEORGE KING Even if the Yankees and Devil Rays get two games in today, there will be one game remaining to be played between the teams this season.

GIANT ADVANTAGE?: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/28212.htm By PAUL SCHWARTZ Of course, the focus is on Terrell Owens because that's what happens when a guy is a great player and he also chooses to preen as he basks in the spotlight. COUGHLIN'S PLAYING GIANT WAITING GAME: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/28206.htm By PAUL SCHWARTZ GIANT NOTES Tom Coughlin knows who's starting where for the Giants Sunday when they face the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

MICKENS OUT FOR YEAR: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/28215.htm By MARK CANNIZZARO When Ray Mickens went in to have a third MRI on his injured left knee Tuesday morning, he figured it was merely a follow-up to see how the injury was progressing.

NETS GIVING BEST A LOOK: http://www.nypost.com/sports/nets/28203.htm By FRED KERBER Nets CEO Rod Thorn calls it "due diligence." But average observers should call it common-sense insurance against the prospects of an extended absence by Jason Kidd. So the Nets intend to work out nine-season veteran point guard Travis Best today or tomorrow.

They're hoping he makes it even in a wheelchair. : http://web1.nypost.com/gossip/liz.htm BORN FOR TALK TV By Liz Smith �I THINK he is a bully, and like all bullies, he�s a coward when confronted with a force that he�s fearful of. His reactions to the extravagant and unbelievably selfish wish list of the wealthy interest groups that put him in the White House are obsequious. The degree of obsequiousness that is involved in saying �yes, yes, yes, yes,� to whatever these people want, no matter the damage and harm done to the nation as a whole � that can come only from genuine moral cowardice.� So speaks former Vice President Al Gore of President George W. Bush in his interview with David Remnick of The New Yorker. Although Gore won the popular vote in 2000, he has never beenthe most popular public figure. This forthright interview is startling in its candor.
