B4 THE ASTORIAN • SATuRdAy, JuNE 15, 2019 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2019 ARIES (March 21-April 19). The next 48 hours will provide you with exceptional social oppor- tunity, which you can parlay into other sorts of opportunity if you so desire. Of course, to take advantage of this you still have to go out and meet people. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The view from inside the thick of it is nothing like what anyone else is seeing. And so it goes with driv- ing, football, movies and almost everything else in life, it’s easier to observe what’s going wrong from the seats. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Safety is at the crux of closeness. People only fully engage with each other when they perceive the relationship as a safe place where support, positive feelings and encouragement flow freely. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve set your own feelings and agenda aside to take care of people who really did need the care. It’s time for that to stop. However unnatural it might feel, it’s time for you to treat yourself as well as you treat others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When it’s unclear what words would unlock the potential of the situation, the wise say noth- ing. This is best accomplished while looking like you’ve lots that you could say and are just choosing not to. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll experience the particu- lar kind of tension that comes from feeling like you should say something, but not being sure what. It’s a signal to go off by yourself and sort your feelings. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve developed a set of rules for each sort of relationship you’ve known. Yes, the rules are mostly subconscious, but you closely abide by them nonethe- less. That is, until today, when the rules don’t seem to apply. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are many ways to get attention: shout, whisper, wave, bribe ... the list goes on and on. The bottom line is that people pay attention to the things and people who have what they want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When the work you’re doing absorbs your entire energy, you neither reminisce about the past nor fantasize about the future. There’s no need to wish you were anywhere else. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re after the things that are important on their own and not merely stepping stones, tools and methods for getting to the next thing. Also, the only friend- ships worth pursuing are the ones that fit this description. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The two main causes of human suf- fering are malice and ignorance. So anything learned is a coun- terbalance to human suffering, and any love given or received lessens the world’s misery. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Define “better” for yourself. The typical metrics (richer, more powerful, etc.) are too generic to motivate you. Think deeper into the matter. What is it you really want to feel that you’re not feeling now? MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 17). To know what you want isn’t so hard. Lots of people can do it. But for that want to also happen to be the thing that will make you very happy is much trickier — and more rare than it seems. You’ll nail it this year! Furthermore, you’ll find a way to make others want your objec- tives as badly as you want them. Sagittarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 2, 28, 17 and 9. RHYMES WITH ORANGE B.C.
