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. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml 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.

'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.
