All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES An investment you made a long time ago is about to pay off, and you are right to be pleased with yourself for looking ahead. However, because there are so many pretty things you want to possess, you may find your profits don't last for long. If you buy something on impulse today, make sure it's got a no-questions-asked money back guarantee. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Even if you are the kind of Taurus who finds it hard to let your feelings show, you will leave no one in any doubt today what it is you think about what they are doing. Fortunately, most of your comments will be constructive rather than destructive, but for the few that are not, bear in mind that not everyone is as thick-skinned as you. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI With energetic Mars and explosive Uranus joining forces across the angles of your chart that are concerned with your status and career, you will certainly make your presence felt on the work front today. If you feel you are entitled to be treated with more respect, you will make sure everyone knows about it. If they're smart, they'll get the message. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER Planetary activity in your fellow water signs of Scorpio and Pisces will give you the confidence to step into the spotlight and let employers and other important people know what you are capable of. Don't worry that they might think you are being too pushy because that is exactly the attribute they want to see. In fact, you can't be pushy enough. 1-900-990-7813* LEO Family and financial affairs are under strong influences as the new week begins, so think before you act and only act if it is absolutely necessary. For best results, you should let others make the first move and tailor your responses to suit the situation. Above all, keep your temper in check - don't let anyone get under your skin today. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO It's not like you to be so upfront about your feelings, but with Mars moving through the communications sector of your chart, you won't hesitate to call it as you see it today. Some people may be shocked by the color of your language, but if that's what it takes to grab their attention, by all means go ahead. Let them know you mean business. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA If someone suggests, in however indirect a fashion, that the best way for you to prove your commitment is to spend your money on him, you might like to rethink your relationship. Deep down you know it means he doesn't care for you as much as you care for him. All he really cares about is what he can get out of you financially. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO Mars in your birth sign makes a perfect aspect to Uranus, planet of rebellion, today and you will certainly do something that shocks those you live, work and do business with. But don't do it for the fun of it, do it with a specific goal in mind. Creative activities and affairs of the heart are under excellent stars. Don't waste them. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS You will know immediately if someone is lying to you today - your psychic antenna will start twitching the moment he opens his mouth. What you do after that is up to you. You can, if you wish, let it pass, or you can make an issue of it and let him know you are not so easily fooled. If it's the latter, don't be too brutal. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN This is a good day to reach out to people you have not been in touch with for a while. Today's Mars-Uranus aspect encourages you to pick up the phone and call up old friends and arrange some kind of get-together in the very near future. It is also a good time to join a group or a club that promotes issues that interest you. Get involved. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Someone in a position of authority will demand that you get with the program today, and if you are sensible, you will do as he says. You may be a rebel by nature, but the planets warn this is not a good time to rock the boat. On the other hand, if you show willingness, there could be some serious money coming your way. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES Start the week the way you mean to go on, with an adventurous spirit and the kind of self-confidence that makes all things possible. Today's Mars-Uranus aspect will endow you generously with the courage that is needed to get things done, and before this week is over, you will have accomplished something remarkable. No one will be more surprised than you. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml KURT-AINS FORBIG BLUE MESS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/20553.htm By PAUL SCHWARTZ TEMPE � If the problem were only the quarterback, Giants coach Tom Coughlin would make the change and be done with it. But it is so much more. "I'd be more concerned right now," Coughlin said cryptically, "with the protection." There are concerns and problems arising almost everywhere within the Giants offense, enough so that another solid defensive showing amounted to nothing except another loss. TIME FOR TOM TO CALL ON ELI: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/20552.htm TEMPE � It isn't only the quarterback's fault, of course. Kurt Warner didn't do anything disastrous yesterday.

TIKI: PUT LOSS ON THE OFFENSE: http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/20555.htm By STEVE SERBY TEMPE � Tiki Barber pointed the finger yesterday � at himself and the 10 men he plays with on offense. IN CRUNCH TIME, JETS GET CLOCKED: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/20544.htm By MARK CANNIZZARO "You play to win the game." Those carefully-measured, dramatically-delivered words have become so much a part of Herman Edwards' mantra that he wrote a book with those words as the title. RAVES FOR SUPER BOLLER: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/20542.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN The big joke this week was that the Jets' second-stringer, Quincy Carter, was probably better than the Baltimore starter behind center. But nobody's laughing anymore after Kyle Boller led the Ravens all the way back in yesterday's 20-17 OT win over Gang Green at the Meadowlands. CURTIS RUNS INTO RECORD BOOK: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/20543.htm By MARK CANNIZZARO Out of a devastatingly negative loss came more positive news about Curtis Martin, the Jets' forever-young running back who rushed for another 119 yards yesterday. JETS MUST PASS ON HB OPTION: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/20546.htm By MARK CANNIZZARO Years from now, long after Herman Edwards has retired to golf and relaxation on the Monterey Peninsula, future Jets coaches will review tapes of big games past for this organization and come to this conclusion: RAVENS SNIFFED OUT JORDAN PASS: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/20547.htm By EVAN GROSSMAN The Ravens were ready and waiting. And because they stuck to their defensive assignments and read the LaMont Jordan halfback option pass from the moment the ball was snapped, the Jets lost any splinter of momentum they built in the first half. It was an energy shift that would ultimately stand as the home team's demise. NEW DOCTOR MAKES MONEY-SAVING CALL: http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/20539.htm By MARC BERMAN SAN ANTONIO � Before training camp, the Knicks hired a new team doctor, Lisa Callahan, quietly replacing Norman Scott.

Yesterday, while Jason Kidd sounded optimistic about his injured left knee and even pointed to a possible return in the middle of next month, the Nets revealed that � starting tonight at home against the Rockets � Alonzo Mourning will be forced to compensate for torn tendons in his right pinkie and that Kidd's replacement, Zoran Planinic, has an injured right knee. DEV DIE-HARDS LOSING HOPE FOR A SEASON: http://www.nypost.com/sports/devils/20534.htm By MARK EVERSON Even the most optimistic are losing hope, and time is probably shorter than they think.
