This is an important time for you to let go of your inhibitions and open up to the world. You may find that there’s a sober tone to your emotions, but you can overcome this easily as long as you keep your chin up. This is an important day for you to give thanks (Apr 21st - May 21st) for all that you have. Give your loved ones extra hugs and let them know how much they mean to you. If things start to get a bit too serious and somber, you’re the one who can pull others out of the rut. There is no need to be sad when you have so much to be happy about.

(May 22nd - Jun 21st) Maintain a positive attitude, and things will naturally flow your way. Tell a few jokes and keep things light and energetic. You will find that you can multitask very well and you have the ability to make everyone smile. Don’t shy away from things - move toward them. Put away your self-doubt and be more proactive in your approach to everything you encounter. (June 22nd - July 23rd) You may be reluctant to commit to anything major today. Your natural tendency is to look askance at those who promise grand and wonderful things. You’re smart to question such talk. Don’t be surprised if someone’s new idea garners all the acclaim. Don’t buy into it without first hearing the facts. It isn’t a good day for you to gamble, either.

(Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) There may be a thousand things for you to do today, but you can only get them done if you concentrate on one at a time. Take a lighthearted approach. You will never finish by focusing on the sheer amount of work you have to do. Break it up into smaller pieces and delegate tasks if you can. Try to see the fun side of things. Schedule in breaks and snacks.

(Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) No matter what you’re doing today, have fun. Whistle a tune. Turn the stereo up to full volume and dance around the kitchen as you make dinner. You can find amusement in just about anything, so keep this in mind as you tackle even the menial tasks. You’re responsible for your own attitude, so don’t blame anyone else for a sour mood. Turn yourself around and have fun. (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) You might need to spend time alone in order to reset your programming. Other people’s influence may be seeping into your psyche. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION There’s no reason to always do or say what S U D O K U other people dictate. Your sensitivity helps you understand things about others, but it can also bring you down if you start to take on their burdens. Try to counterbalance this tendency. (Dec 22nd- Jan 20th) You will find that discipline, organization, and a bit of a dramatic flair are exactly the things needed to be successful today. Just because you have to be practical doesn’t mean that you have to be stern and grumpy. Remember that taking care of serious matters can actually be fun as long as you maintain a positive attitude about the situation. You might find it difficult to deal with people (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) on an emotional level today. Others could seem too demanding of your attention, and want to keep the focus on themselves. At the same time, you will probably need a bit more attention than usual. Try not to be so stubborn! Give people the love they need and you will find that the love you require will come to you as well. You might find your emotions a bit dampened (Feb 20th - Mar 20th) today, but this may not be a bad thing. Try not to blow things out of proportion so much. How to play: Don’t feel that you need to turn every small Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each story into a major headline. There’s no need to row across, each column down and each 9-box square exaggerate the truth just to get more attention. Take a more reserved approach to your actions contains all of the numbers from one to nine. and reactions to all situations. 17 Monday, December 5, 2016
