SUDOKU
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Th at frayed relationship could
be mended in time for the holidays
if you were more fl exible. Give a
little, and you could get back a lot
more than you imagined.
LIBRA (September 23 to October

tling down as quickly as you would
prefer. But it might be just a little
holiday time fl utter. You’ll soon get
news that will lead to more stability.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Stop getting so involved in
everyone’s personal problems that
you lose precious time with loved
ones. Remember, even the Supreme

December 21) All signs point to
a bright holiday, with all of those
pesky problems fi nally resolved in
your favor. Share the good times
with people you love and, of course,
who love you.
