All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES Take what happens today as a challenge rather than as a setback. Use it to inspire you to do more and do better. Everything that occurs in your life, especially those things you think of as bad, is a gift to help you grow spiritually. Once you become aware of that fact, you will never again curse fate for being unkind. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS If you make a mistake today, admit it, accept it and move on. Life is a succession of tests, and the powers that guide your life do not expect you to pass every one of them, at least not the first time. Just as there is no point in entering an exam knowing both questions and answers, there is no point in entering life if there is nothing to learn. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI You are in the midst of one of the luckiest times of the year and how much you get out of it depends entirely on you. The approaching eclipse falls in the most dynamic area of your chart, so you won't hesitate to take advantage of what happens over the next few days. Just remember that some things matter and some things do not. Use your energy wisely. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER Don't sit back and let the changes that are now taking place pass you by. Cancer is a cardinal sign, meaning you have the drive and the ambition to make things happen. Unfortunately, you can also be a bit timid, and if you let that hold you back today, you will regret it for a long time to come. Believe in yourself and follow your star. 1-900-990-7813* LEO The world is a wonderful place, no matter what the doom and gloom merchants might say, and what happens over the next two or three days will remind you just how much is possible if you have a warm heart and a positive attitude to life. More important, your sunny disposition will encourage others to be warm and positive, too. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO You will get what you deserve today - no more and no less. If you have worked hard and taken your chances, you will gain in ways that delight you. If you have stayed within your comfort zone and not made much of an effort, your self-satisfaction will be its own reward. Ultimately, life is always fair - that's why people get so annoyed with it. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA In a matter of days, maybe hours, you will be doing things you never dreamed of just a short time ago. So much is possible for you now, so much is there for the taking. All that's needed is for you to be confident and be ready to move when the time is right. If it isn't right already, it will be by this time tomorrow. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO If there are any ill feelings remaining between you and those you live, work or do business with, you are advised to sort them out today, because if you leave them any longer, they may become too big to resolve. Yes, some people can be a pain. Yes, some people may have misled you. Bearing grudges is always self-defeating. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS At some stage today you will get the proverbial offer you cannot refuse, but if you are smart, that is exactly what you will do because there will be much better offers coming your way before the end of the week. Also, be careful that your rivals do not play on your greed and get you to sign up for something you cannot later get out of. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN Think of what you are about to do as an investment in your future rather than as something that right now you may not be able to afford. Tomorrow's solar eclipse will bring with it a golden opportunity to move up in the world, but it won't come for free - you will have to give something of value in return. It's a trade worth making. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Some people complain that life is too hard, that they never get the breaks, that fate seems to be conspiring against them. You, on the other hand, know that what you get out of life has to be earned, and over the next two or three days, that realistic attitude will serve you very well indeed. The more you give, the more you will get. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES You must use your energy wisely today because if you waste it on things that are trivial, you could pay dearly for it tomorrow. Don't listen to what others say is important; listen only to what your own conscience tells you and focus on that to the exclusion of everything else. If that means you lose a few friends, so be it. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml MARIANO MAKES IT OK FOR YANKS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/31788.htm By GEORGE KING Mariano Rivera saved his 31st postseason game last night, adding to his major-league record.

Lifestyle: http://web1.nypost.com/living/living.htm ASK DR. MICHAEL FOX: http://www.nypost.com/living/31448.htm DEAR DR. FOX: I have a deli cate situation with my 16-year-old male tabby cat. Although he was neutered at six months of age, for the past 15 years he has had sexual relations with any type of stuffed animal, blanket, pillow or knitted sweater. He has even gone to the extreme of dragging stuffed toys into the living room for a little midnight action. He seems to have some idea that this behavior is inappropriate since it occurs predominantly late at night when the house is quiet. This has been very embarrassing, since he howls loudly, thereby waking up everyone in the house, not to mention the difficulty of inviting guests to spend the night. I have tried to stop this behavior by putting all stuffed items on high shelves (which he still manages to knock down) or squirting him with water. Nothing seems to deter him from his amorous affairs with anything plush. Must I resign myself? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have. � M.V., Washing ton, D.C.
