All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES Set yourself only small, easily attainable and short-term goals today, goals you can reach without too much of an effort. Better still, use your considerable charm and communication skills to get other people to do the hard work for you. If you want to get the best out of the next 24 hours, you must find ways to kick back and relax. Better that you do nothing than you do too much. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Friends and family members can be twisted round your little finger today. There is nothing they will not do for you if you ask them - so go ahead and ask. This is also a very good day for joint money matters and business issues. Financial deals agreed to and signed now should reap major rewards before the end of the year. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI Don't be too tough on yourself today. Not even a Gemini can get it right every time, so if something goes badly wrong over the next 24 hours, put it down to experience and move on quickly. There is no point in dwelling on your failures and no need when the planets indicate that there are plenty of successes coming your way. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER You will hear something today that you can, if you wish, turn to your financial advantage, but ask yourself first if it is the right thing to do. If you are told something in confidence or overhear a whispered secret that was not meant for your ears, perhaps you should forget that you heard it. What does your conscience tell you? 1-900-990-7813* LEO You will be in a generous mood today, especially with those who have been generous to you in the past. This is also the ideal day to remind those you love just how much they mean to you and just how much you appreciate the efforts and sacrifices they have made. Everything good you say will come back to you many times over. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO You may find it hard to trust certain people, but trust them you must, if for no other reason than it would take too much emotional effort not to. Yes, it is possible they may betray you; yes, it is possible they may cheat you. But do you really want to spend your life worrying about gneative things that may never happen? 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA You will get support from some pretty unlikely sources today. Friends you never knew you had will rally around and make life easier for you, and you will be immensely grateful for their goodwill and generosity of spirit. You will also get the chance to repay that generosity over the following few weeks and you should go out of your way to do so. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO You will receive an offer of some sort today that you will immediately want to accept. However, before you do you, must find out exactly what will be expected of you and for how long. You would also be wise to make your own inquiries because it could be you are not being given all the facts. Ignorance is not an excuse. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You will get the chance to brighten up the life of a friend or family member who has been feeling rather depressed lately. Your can-do, optimistic attitude is precisely what he needs to get his act together and start looking on the bright side of life once again. There are very few ailments in life that a smile and a pat on the back cannot cure. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN There is no point feeling guilty about things that you are not responsbiel for and did not cause. By all means, help out if you can, but don't let anyone try to persuade you that you are somehow at fault, that other people's setbacks can be laid at your door. Most likely, it just means they are trying to shift the blame onto you. There is no reason why you should be the scapegoat. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Partners and loved ones will do anything you ask of them today - so ask away! Venus in your opposite sign of Leo makes almost everyone you meet want to do you favors, and there is no reason you should deny them what makes them happy. Also, someone you meet over the next 24 hours will become more than just a friend. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES Others may say you have to act quickly, but will it be you who benefits from the situation or will it be them? Most likely it's the latter, so if you don't feel much like making an effort today, by all means, hold off until you do. The planets indicate that you won't lose out, not even by one solitary cent, if you take your time. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml BERTH DAY FOR YANKS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/19701.htm By ANDREW MARCHAND After clinching a spot in the playoffs with a 7-3 victory over the Devil Rays, the Yankees calmly celebrated with Elvis on the clubhouse stereo and the Red Sox on their minds.

BOBBY VALENTINE (WHO IS BETTER ON TV?): http://www.nypost.com/sports/19695.htm By ANDREW MARCHAND The fact that ex-Met GM Steve Phillips is now a part of the media is somewhere between totally hypocritical and hilarious.
