SUNDAY TIMES CROSSWORD 4995 STANDARD TWO-IN-ONE CRYPTIC PUZZLE EASY PUZZLE SUDOKU SUDOKU SOLUTION HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are in the driver’s seat. Take control, show your strengths and block anyone using emotional tactics to push you in a direction you don’t care to go. Opportunity is present, and it’s up to you to take advantage of what’s available. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Emotions will flare up, causing angst and regret. Think before you say something negative that can influence the outcome of a sensitive situation you face. Look on the bright side and recognise the positive in every matter before you act. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Trust in your judgment, and make decisions that benefit you. Be open to expanding your interests and taking better care of yourself mentally and physically. Strive for perfection, honesty and pursuing what makes you happy. Romance is in the stars. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Draw on others to verify your next move. Being sure and confident will help you move forward with the help and respect required to reach your destination. Trust in your intuition and ability to make things happen. LEO (July 23-Aug 22): Take a moment to reevaluate your position and assess what’s best for you. Don’t feel the need to align yourself with others or follow the pack. Choose what works best for you based on what you can do. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): You’ll learn a great deal about others if you listen. Keep your thoughts to yourself to avoid getting into a senseless battle. Size up the situation, and you’ll figure out what to do and who to include. Choose friends carefully. LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Determination and discipline will pay off. Say what’s on your mind, and turn your plan into a reality. Worry less about what others say or do and more about what you want to achieve. Personal growth, physical improvement and love are encouraged. SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): An unexpected change will alter your plans. Don’t get upset when action is required. Look for alternative routes and ways to expand something that interests you. You’ll be well on your way to victory. Adapt and move forward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Make love, not war. You may not like what others do, but if you look out for your interests, uphold your responsibilities and take control of your happiness, you’ll have no regrets. Let go of people, situations and pastimes that hold you back. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Emotional issues will surface if you talk to friends, neighbours or relatives. Be careful what you divulge. Sharing your beliefs will lead to controversy and physical aggression that’s easy to avoid if you keep your thoughts to yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Refuse to let anyone back you into a corner. An emotional situation will mount with someone close to you if you don’t address your concerns. Be kind but firm when it comes to what you want or need. PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): Leave nothing to chance. If you rely on others, disappointment will follow. An emotional situation will leave you questioning some of the decisions you make. Separate yourself from those playing games or trying to take advantage of you.
