All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You seem to be in everyone's good graces at the moment and you cannot for the life of you figure out why. But why should there be a reason? Why should you have to do something special to win others' favor? Perhaps they just like you for who you are and the way you sail through life with hardly a care in the world. That must be it. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS Don't try to tell someone what you know to be untrue today because the planets warn you will be found out, much to their annoyance and much to your embarrassment. You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you're a fool if you think you can do more than that. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI What have you done to deserve all this attention? What have you done to deserve all this applause? You may not understand why so many people are singing your praises, but the mere fact they are means you must have done something to warrant being the center of attention. Don't waste time thinking about it - make the most of your popularity. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER You seem to on top of your game at the moment, but you are advised to make the most of it because in just a few days time you may find that your energy wanes for no apparent reason. You have achieved a lot over the past few weeks, so why not give yourself a much-needed break? No one can deny that you've earned it. 1-900-990-7813* LEO Something completely unexpected will happen today, something so far out of the ordinary that you will have a hard time making sense of it. But who says you have to? Who says life should always be predictable and pedestrian? The best way to react to surprising developments is to do something surprising yourself. Never be afraid to shock - yourself or others. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO The more sociable you have been in recent weeks, the more you will need to spend some time by yourself today, if only to recharge your batteries before the next big challenge comes your way. You may have to bribe certain people to leave you alone, but whatever it costs, it will be worth it. As for party invites - turn them all down. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA You may have to go a bit out of your way before you get to your chosen destination today, but you will get where you want to go in the end, so don't be impatient. It is good to have somewhere to journey to, but it is the journey that matters most in the end. Make your journey as calm and as comfortable as you possibly can. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO A somewhat difficult aspect between the sun in your birth sign and Jupiter, planet of generosity, in the kindly sign of Libra means you could give away a bit too much for your own good today. By all means, help out those who are less fortunate than you, but don't do too much for them or it may be you who needs assistance later. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS There is no point in swimming against the tide because no matter how strong and how stubborn you may be, you will eventually be beaten. At some stage today you will realize you are up against a force that is too powerful for you to defeat directly, but if you use your brain rather than your brawn, you can still come out on top. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN Someone you have always considered, at best, a rival and, at worst, an out-and-out enemy, will surprise you by how willing he is to meet you halfway. Is it a trick? Should you be suspicious? Maybe, but the planets do suggest he is fed up with all the fighting and feuding and would now like to be your friend. Stranger things have happened. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS If you want to make a success of whatever project it is you are currently working on, you must get assistance. You have taken it as far as you can on your own; now you must share the load - and the financial burden - with other people. It may be your baby, but if you want it to grow, you must not be quite so possessive. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES As the sun nears the midheaven angle of your chart over the next few days, you will find yourself thinking more and more about your career and your long-term ambitions. The need to make money will, as always, be a motivating factor, but it must not be the only factor. The most important thing is that you work at something you love. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml YANK FANS SAY 'NO!'
