THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2016 By Holiday Mathis, Creators Syndicate Inc. ARIES (March 21-April 19). While you may deem an emotion to be “useless,” and realize that it will not bring you progress, that doesn’t keep you from having to feel and deal with it. Accept and move through it — this one will be quick. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you say will matter more than usual. The words you choose will reflect a clarity of thought that is extremely attractive to the others around you, so don’t be surprised if you’re fielding a few unexpected offers. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have opin- ions, and lots of them, just like the others. But being opinionated never made anyone popu- lar. Instead you’ll tell your story and have fun watching them come to their own conclusions. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Taking initia- tive is part of your survival plan. (In today’s case “survival” is about staying relevant in whatever game you’re playing, not actually breathing/feeding/sheltering yourself.) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The effortless good days are a gift from the universe. The good days that take lots of effort are a gift to the uni- verse from you. Today falls in the latter catego- ry. There’s finesse in your delivery. As if there’s a bow on top. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe some of the people had unrealistic expectations that were not fulfilled, but you should not feel re- sponsible for this, nor should you do anything about it, lest you foster an unhealthy co-de- pendent dynamic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You could do it your way, but instead you’ll apply your famous diplomacy — use the parlance of the group, adopt the unspoken dress code and abide by the tacitly agreed upon rules of conduct. Smart! FRANK AND ERNEST BLONDIE THATABABY SALLY FORTH PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN B.C. LOLA DILBERT SIX CHIX BIZARRO MUTTS NON SEQUITUR BABY BLUES WIZARD OF ID ZITS ROSE IS ROSE SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When the art- ist is working, she doesn’t stand in one place. She steps forward for the fine strokes and backward for the big picture. A good part of the work will be spent in zooming back and forth today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are no “normal” people or “ordinary” days, a point you’ll prove when you’re able to pull unusual and extraordinary results out of the people and circumstances of the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know how when you’re cleaning up, it often gets dirtier first? The same happens when you’re trying to beautify a situation or heal a relation- ship. Be willing to deal with things seeming a little worse before they get better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Of course, your success is the sweetest revenge possi- ble. In fact, it is so complete that when the time comes to bring attention to your accomplish- ments, you may, quite mercifully, downplay them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When the roads are icy, the best advice for driving is usually, “Stay home.” Similarly, the best advice you’ll hear for today’s pickle will encompass preventative measures that speak to the big picture. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4). Per- sonal aims and professional goals bring out your tenacity. However, you will be open-minded about love, letting cupid lead with his whimsy, unwilling to force anything. You trust that what’s supposed to happen will — and you will love how this trust manifests into relationships that are surprising and stel- lar. Cancer and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 49, 22, 39 and 18.
