All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl
ARIES
Be careful what you say and do today because with Mercury, planet of communication, 
aspecting Saturn, planet of restriction, you can bet your bottom dollar that certain 
people will be following your statements closely in the hope of catching you in a 
mistake. Do not exaggerate in any way, shape or form. Stick to the facts and leave it 
at that.
1-900-990-7810*
TAURUS
You won't want to give too much away today, but if you clam up completely, people will 
start to wonder what it is you have to hide. There's probably nothing, of course, but 
if you do have any skeletons in your closet, however minor they may be, the best way 
to draw attention awat from them is to talk about something completely unrelated.
1-900-990-7811*
GEMINI
This may be an emotional day for some, but with Mercury, your ruler, aspecting Saturn, 
planet of limitation, you will go out of your way to stay cool, calm and collected. 
For the most part, you will succeed, but there may be one individual who really gets 
on your nerves and it will take all your will-power not to tear him to shreds.
1-900-990-7812*
CANCER
Try not to let your responsibilities weigh you down. Yes, with Saturn in your birth 
sign, you have no option but to work hard and help other people, but you must also 
realize that if you push yourself beyond your natural limits, you will be the one who 
suffers. Do you think others will help you when you are in need of assistance?
1-900-990-7813*
LEO
It's not often you give in to despair, and let's hope you won't do so today, but the 
current planetary picture warns that you have a tendency to see the negative side in 
everything that happens. Don't suffer in silence if you cannot see a way out of your 
mental morass. Confide in family and friends - they will help to calm your fears.
1-900-990-7814*
VIRGO
You are not responsible for the world and its woes, so don't let what happens today 
get you down. If there is something you can do to help, by all means, do it, but if it 
is one of those situations that seem to be beyond human ingenuity to solve, then you 
have no alternative but to leave well alone. Worry about something closer to home.
1-900-990-7815*
LIBRA
You may be of two minds right now about which way to move. (And isn't that the story 
of your life!) But who says you have to move anywhere at all? Today's Mercury-Saturn 
link-up urges you to sit tight and just stick with what you have, at least for the 
moment, and not get itchy feet just because other people seem to be doing well 
elsewhere. You're not other people- and you're not doing so badly yourself.
1-900-990-7816*
SCORPIO
Not everyone has your level of common sense, and some of the things that are said and 
done today will strike you as profoundly wasteful and stupid. Be that as it may, so 
long as they do not affect you personally, there is no reason you should get involved 
in them - and every reason it would be wise for you to keep your distance.
1-900-990-7817*
SAGITTARIUS
The more you are tempted to take some kind of risk today, the more you should remind 
yourself that everything that is meant to happen will happen at the proper time. The 
planets warn that if you try to push the issue, you will lose out in a big way. Life 
will look a lot brighter when Mercury enters your birth sign on Thursday.
1-900-990-7818*
CAPRICORN
Try not to let your anxieties get the better of you today. No matter where you might 
be or what you might be doing, you must think positive and you must keep reminding 
yourself that what looks like a big problem now won't look like a problem at all later 
on. It's all about perspective. Rise above the small and insignificant things.
1-900-990-7819*
AQUARIUS
If you make a mistake today - and you will - put it right the first chance you get. It 
may not be your way to say you're sorry when you don't have to, but if you show a 
certain amount of remorse today, it will impress some very important people. It does 
not even have to be genuine, just as long as it looks and sounds sincere.
1-900-990-7808*
PISCES
This is a good day for making detailed plans, especially if they involve creative 
activities or long-distance travel. Any decisions you make around this time will be 
reached only after careful consideration, so weigh up the pros and cons and don't let 
others tell you that you are not being adventurous enough. You don't want adventure, 
you want success.

NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS JETS ROUT: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/31508.htm
By MARK CANNIZZARO
        For a change, the Jets left no doubt.
    In what was an utterly liberating night of football � a three-hour party, really � 
the Jets delivered a rare rout, skewering the downtrodden Dolphins 41-14 last night at 
Giants Stadium.
    A moral victory was not going to do last night. Not with the Patriots having lost 
to the Steelers Sunday, thus opening the door to first place in the AFC East that 
they'd shut on the Jets a week ago at Foxboro.

'MONDAY NIGHT MIRACLE' NOT NEEDED THIS TIME: 
http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/31502.htm
                               THIS is the way a big team is supposed   to look. This 
is the way a big team is supposed to play when it smells first place again. This is 
how a big team is supposed to respond when hit. This is what a big team is supposed to 
do with the whole country watching and a chump team in its house. Make big plays and 
win big.

GIFF WRAPPED: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/31495.htm

HIGH PRAISE FOR ROOKIE SAFETY: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/31505.htm
  By PAUL SCHWARTZ
         Rarely is a young player compared to one of the best linebackers to ever suit

144 yards), who  was charged with three fumbles and wasn't  awe-inspiring.

  By EVAN GROSSMAN
         The Knicks begin the 2004-05 season tomorrow night in Minnesota, kicking off 
a grueling early schedule that will be a little like learning to swim in the deep end 
of the pool. Five of their first eight games will be on the road, where they have not

DURING tonight's tu  mult of election re  turns, remember:       If, for the fourth 
consecutive election, neither candidate wins a popular vote majority, relax. There 
were four consecutive such elections from 1880 to 1892. In 1876, a candidate (Samuel 
Tilden) got 51 percent � and lost (to Rutherford Hayes). Six elections since World War 
II produced plurality presidents � 1948, 1960, 1968, 1992, 1996, 2000. Woodrow Wilson 
was enormously consequential although he won his first term with just 41.8 percent and 
his second with 49.2 percent.
