OK, as long as you base your
decisions on what matters most
to you. Initiate changes that will
help you achieve greater suc
cess. 5 stars
■ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Don’t take what others say as
the gospel. Find out for yourself

you will have to backtrack. Don’t
give in to bullying. 2 stars

you go shopping. Knowing what
and where to find an item at

■ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): An experienced friend will
come to you with an offer you
cannot refuse. Look at the poten
tial to stabilize your financial situ
ation. A settlement, rebate or
surrender you are waiting for will
come through. 3 stars

Sudoku
DIFFICULTY RATING:
SOLUTION
Help is available as long as you
don't let your emotions cloud
issues and stop you from accept
ing what you need to move for
ward. Asking for a favor may put
you in an indebted position but it
will be the best way to get what
you want. 3 stars
■ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Don’t be the one to ruin a sur
prise. Talks will lead to argu
ments, so keep your beliefs a
secret for now. Make personal
changes instead of trying to mold
someone else. Take a closer
look at who you are and what
you really want. 3 stars
