HOROSCOPE

RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You do what you need to do.
Then you no longer need it and
the habit drops away. Maybe
the thing you’re trying to do
with sheer willpower can be
more easily accomplished with
a better understanding of your
real needs.
an instant.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Humans are complicated, mul-
tifaceted and often their own
worst enemies. A person has to
be pretty cunning indeed to out-
smart his or her own worst tricks
and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Such is the mastery of living.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There are those who turn
minor criticisms into major
arguments and take helpful
comments as personal slights.
It’s a distortion that could be
caused by depression; it’s not so
much an invitation to quarrel as
a call for help.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The thing that ultimately drives
change is your desire for the
change. But how can you make
yourself want something more
than you do? Seeing someone
who has it will — that’s the mag-
ic motivator.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
can’t understand the fight within
until it’s projected outside your-
self, depicted in some friction
going on in your world. Conflict
is rarely about what it seems to
be about.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Lively
characters come into the picture,
influencing you in the moment
and giving you something to
think about later, too. The day
features mutual admiration and
respect.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Fear
will stand between you and
opportunities that are waiting to
be seized. But you don’t always
have to fight fear. You can simply
turn it like a dancer, or say “boo,”
or just ask it to move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s
hard to know the scale of a
project until you get in there and
start doing it. Some things you
think will be easy will take forev-
er and what you thought was a
big deal could snap together in
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You may philosophize bril-
liantly, though the strange
thought loops never arrive at a
conclusion. All pondering and
argument will end with practical
measures that solve the prob-
lem.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There are qualities in which you
surpass the others. Take charge
of those, not just because it will
make life more interesting and
enjoyable for you but because it
will be better for all involved.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Clarity can come in an instant
and thoughts can stream in fast-
er than a high-speed download.
Still, it takes time to get into the
state of body, mind and spirit
that makes clarity possible. Prop-
er rest is a huge part of this.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
past can be glamorized, ideal-
ized, regretted, distorted, used
as ammunition or motivation,
retold, grieved and celebrated.
The best thing you can do with
the past is learn from it.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
4). This solar journey shows your
talents, relationships and efforts
aligning to give you something
truly cool to show for your time.
It will be months in the making
and more in the sharing. A move
or building process in Septem-
ber will be key. Love lifts and
pushes you in November. More
join you in January. Gemini and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 10, 4, 44, 38 and 18.
