All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You may not be amused if something holds you back today, but a few days from now, you will thank your lucky stars that you were forced to stay right where you are. Things do not happen purely by chance, and if fate seems to be conspiring to keep you from doing something, maybe it means that something is not good for you. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS No matter what hardships or difficulties you encounter over the next 24 hours, you will take them in your stride and get something positive from them. The sun in Virgo at this time of year has an excellent influence on your outlook on life. Most of all, you recognize that how you react to life's setbacks can turn them into blessings. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI September is often a difficult month for you as the sun is transiting one of the more sensitive areas of your chart, but the good news is that you seem to be handling it well, and the even better news is that in a matter of days, your luck will turn for the better - and how! There is light at the end of the tunnel. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER If you do not know how to do something yourself, then you must consult an expert today. You can, of course, muddle through and hope that it all comes right in the end, and maybe it will, but the planets warn that it could end up costing you twice as much, financially and emotionally, than if you had asked for help in the first place. 1-900-990-7813* LEO There will be more than one unexpected claim on your time and your energy today, so don't exhaust yourself on the first task that comes your way. Today's planetary setup is designed to remind you that it is better to do one job at a time than to attempt to do several at once. In the long run, you get more done that way. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO After the exertions of the past few days, you might be tempted to slow down a bit and take a break. You are perfectly entitled to do so, but bear in mind too that a week or so from now, Mars and Jupiter - the planets that are giving you your current burst of energy - will leave your birth sign. Make the most of them while you can. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA Do not hesitate to postpone your own plans today if others need your assistance. The planets indicate that what you do for friends, family and even total strangers now will be repaid many times over when the sun moves into your birth sign on the 22nd. Not that you are looking for rewards, of course, but it's nice to know you are appreciated. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO Money is important, and so is status and reputation, but few things are more important than friends. According to the planets, you have begun to take one particular friendship a bit too much for granted, and if you let this situation continue, you two may drift so far apart that you cannot come back together again. Protect and replenish that friendship today. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You used up so much energy yesterday that you may feel completely exhausted today. If so, you must slow down and you must give your physical and emotional batteries a chance to recharge. The good news is that you have already made a big impression on someone in a position of power - you don't have to prove yourself all over again. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN You seem to be doing a lot of dreaming lately, which for someone of your practical nature is rather unusual. However, you will get the chance to make at least some of those dreams come true a week or so from now when the sun, Mars and Jupiter all pass over the midheaven angle of your chart. What you dream today, you will be tomorrow. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS You may have to wait a few more days before you get the chance to put your ideas into action, but don't think of that as a negative thing because it may actually work in your favor. A week or so from now, one of the very best times of the year begins for you, so don't be impatient. Your time will soon be here. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES Don't worry too much if partners and colleagues are being obstructive because it is only a passing phase and nothing bad will come of it. Treat it as an opportunity to show how patient and relaxed you can be. Others will be impressed by your ability to rise above petty things. What they don't know, of course, is that you are seething inside. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml ART: I'LL FINISH: http://www.nypost.com/sports/28684.htm By MARK HALE BOXSCORE / P. 77Braves 2Mets 0 There was no need yesterday for Met GM Jim Duquette to go into all the details of why Art Howe needed to be fired.
