HOROSCOPE/SUDOKU AND SOLUTIONS Daily Sudoku: Thu 3-Aug-2023

TAURUS

Trips, educational pursuits, or projects that could lead to new outlooks should be on your agenda. Concentrate on getting ahead financially and let your personal life settle down for a while.

GEMINI

Empty promises will cause confusion. You will be overly sensitive when dealing with your personal life. You can work in conjunction with those in the know in order to get to the bottom of any pending issue.

(c) Daily Sudoku Ltd 2023. All rights reserved.

Stretch the truth, and you may get blamed for something you didn't do. Plan to visit friends or relatives. Don't let the cat out of the bag.

LIBRA

Get more involved in group efforts at work.

Don't second guess yourself, just go to it.

Risks will not be profitable.

SCORPIO

Travel for business purposes may bring the highest returns. You will be relentless when it comes to getting yourself back into shape.

Be careful; you may say something you'll regret later.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN

Overindulgence will be a problem if you are out in a social setting. Do your own thing and everything will settle down. Your ability to add a sophisticated touch will help you capture the look you're after.

AQUARIUS

Empty promises are evident and deception probable. Moves or the possibility of having someone different living with you may be difficult at first. It may be a disappointing day emotionally.

VIRGO

Romantic opportunities may not be as they appear. Your lover may cost you financially.

Avoid any erratic behavior or it could cause isolation at home.

You need time to make things better. You have to take hold of your life and make some crucial decisions. Find out all the facts before you jump to conclusions.

5 8 3

4 2 6

You may find that your mate is well aware of the circumstances. Be careful that you don't spend too much time with a person belonging to someone else.

LEO

You must not allow them to force you to rush. You may find that someone you live with may be irritable; you're best to leave them alone. You will profit from home improvement projects and real estate deals.
