SUDOKU
Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptus Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have
5-Dynamic, 4-Powerful, 3-Average, 2-Onset, 1-Odifficulty
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***
Be careful in your dealings with others.
Expenses might be a bit askew or might be coating you more than they should. Investigate what might be going on. Relax when others become controlling. Sometimes you think that someone doesn't get it.
Tonight. Your treat.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
You have energy and enthusiasm, but others find you a bit irritating. Instead of illuminating a major difference of opinion, work with reality. You seem much lighter and more easygoing than many. In some way, this could evoke others' 'ire.
Tonight. Easy does it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) **
You cannot win for losing during the daylight hours. Crankiness and difficulty with situations merge. Know when to retreat.
This act could easily define your mood. Why interfere with the obvious?
Tonight. Come out of your shell.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
Aim for more of what you want, though others might test your limits. You might be confused, as someone is giving you a lot of mixed messages and reverses gear. Curb your risk-taking.
Tonight. Chill out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) ★★★
You might try very hard to keep things together but can't because others create an uproar. You might want to head in a different direction. But no matter which way you turn, there is uproar.
Tonight. Join your friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) *★★★
You might need to distance yourself from others, or simply head out the door. Taking a drive or doing something totally different will help you gain a perspective. As a result, you will be able to take a strong stand.
Tonight: A must appear.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ***
Work with others, as you have little choice;
though on some level, you could find those

you can. Laugh and enjoy yourself to the
maximum. You might need to be less vested
in what goes on.
Tonight: Run a movie.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ******
Others challenge you, or at least this is how you see it. You might want to think before you say anything that could impact you.

Tonight: Try to make an impact on one person, not the world.
CAPRICORIN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★

Tonight. Allow someone to reveal his or her true colors.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *****

Tonight: Easy does it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★
