HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Looks like you could advance in your career this year, but there's going to be a test. Figure out what you need to study in May, so you can invest in what you need by June. In August, the bounty comes home to you, and in November, you're able to get the work you love, if you pass the test. By April, you should finally have enough.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6.
You're one of the few people who's still pushing to get more done. Others have given up or have settled into an old routine. If there's still more you'd like to accomplish, you have to reenergize them, which may not be easy.
Get a trusted aid to help you light a fire under the others.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 4.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a d 6.
This might be a pretty good weekend for travel, if you can get a few obligations out of the way. Somebody might be leaning on you to finish something you promised. This is something you've been avoiding. Just do the thing so you can get out of town.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5.
Cancer (June 22- July 22) is today a 3.
You want financial security, you need to figure out how to get it. Stocks and bonds? Piggy bank? There are lots of different ways to provide for your future, and today you'll be wise to study several. Doing the homework could make the difference between success and failure.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
Instead of getting better today, things may seem to be getting worse. It's just sort of a breakdown before you get to the breakthrough – everything steps functioning, then you put in a correction or come up with a new idea, and voilà Things work better than ever.
Leo (Julv 23-Aua. 22): Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5.
You may be started to find a whole pocket of work that still needs to be done. It might have even been somebody else's responsibility, but now it’s been dumped on you. This happens because you’re the person best able to handle it. Just do the best you can
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 4.
For a brief moment you've got an excellent base for a romantic commitment. Seize the day and declare your love. It might be difficult while you're thinking about it, but once it's done, everything else will be easy, especially if your sweetheart does the same thing back.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 4.
You could have an interesting get-together with friends at your house tonight with different sorts of people, who have interesting stories to tell. If you know people like that, go ahead and gather them together, especially the ones in your neighborhood
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
In the next few days you could get in a lot of good study time. Do it on purpose. Don't wait for somebody to assign homework. Figure out what you need to learn next to advance in your career, and launch a study program of your own.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Though this is not a good day to spend money, it is a good day to figure out how to make more. It's also a good time to go through your accounts and put everything into neat rows. This doesn't mean you can't have fun, too. A date tonight looks like it'll be outrageous.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
You'll be even more careful with your deliberations today than you were yesterday. You'll have to move quickly in social matters, however. A gettogether could lead to romance, but if you don't act quickly, you'll get left behind.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5.
Don't get to worrying today. Instead, figure out how you're going to solve the problem you're facing.
What you thought you could do isn't going to be as easy as you'd hoped, so you'll have to come up with another plan.

McGriff hit a blast to centerfield in the second inning for his 10th homer and fifth in the past five games. Since
missing three games with a right eye contusion, McGriff has been 17-for-38 (.447) with seven homers, 13 RBI and has scored 1.3 runs in 10 games.
Tampa Bay benefited from a two-out throwing error by third baseman Joe Randa in the fifth inning that allowed two runs to score and broke a 2-2 tie.
Scott Aldred (2-0) retired one batter in the eighth inning. Roberto Hernandez pitched a perfect ninth for his Albest 11th save in 12 opportunities.
Royals starter Jim Pittsley walked McGriff, loading the bases with two outs. Perry then hit a ground ball down the line that Randa backhanded, but the throw hit Perry near first base.
MINNEAPOLIS — the end of the New York Yankees' 1.0-game road trip may be remembered more for a take-out slide of Chuck Knoblauch than for a win.
Pittsweet led 4 2 3 innings, allowing four runs — two earned — and six hits.
The New York second baseman was helped off the field and taken to a hospital after an eighth-inning collision with Corey Koskie during the Yankees' 4-3, 10-inning win yesterday.

David Cone walked Koskie, loading the bases with one out, in the eighth inning. Jason Grismles (3-0) got Ron Coomer to ground to shortstop.
Randa's RBI single got the Royals within one run in the sixth inning, and Kansas City tied the game in the seventh when Chad Kreuter hit into a bases-loaded double play.
Derek Jeter fielded the ball in the hole and threw to Knoblauch at second. Koskie plowed into Knoblauch, rolling up his leg, to try to break up the double play, but umpire Jim Joyce called Coomer out at first on Koskie's interference.

Williams sisters advance to Open quarterfinals
ROME — The Williams sisters breezed into the Italian Open quarterfinals with impressive victories yesterday.
Venus Williams, the third seed, needed just 57 minutes to eliminate Anna Kournikova 6-2, 6-2, while No. 6 Serena Williams breezed by No. 13 Irina Spina of Romania 6-2, 6-3.
Serena's victory set up a clash with No. 1 Martina Hingis. The defending champion advanced by routing unseeded American Corina Morariu 6-1, 6-4 at night.
Both Williams siblings base their success on overpowering their foes with fierce strokes from both sides.
But they showed variety on the Foro Italico's red clay yesterday, disguising an occasional drop shot from the baseline or picking just the right moment for a slick volley.
"I think I have a better thought process as a player," Venus Williams said. "Last year, I was just developing and hitting hard. Today, I'm able to think well no matter who I am playing."
"I would love to have a different game years from now," said Venus, at 18 a year older than Serena. "People get better, so if you don't improve your game, you get left behind. You just have to keep learning the game more."
Serena Williams has reached the final at each of the last three tournaments she's played, winning two, while her sister and Hingis each have won three titles.
It was the fourth straight win for the Orioles and their first three-game sweep of the White Sox since 1989. Baltimore had not swept Chicago at home since 1983.
