DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Exits can feel awkward, but
you’re not doing anyone a favor
by sticking around after the
metaphorical party is over. The
sooner you leave a played-out
situation, the better.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Just because a boundary is
defined doesn’t mean it has to
stay that way forever. As proven
by shifting realms, territories,
landmarks, countries, even
continents ... the shape of things
changes. Be a shaper.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When providing someone with
all they need prevents them
from learning how to help
themselves, it’s no help at all.
Step back and ask, “How can I
give without enabling?”
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
People will pay you according
to the pricing you establish.
You get to set that up. Take cues
from what others are doing, but
don’t copy them. Consider the
value you create for others, and
price accordingly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do you
wish you could be like a movie
director yelling “cut” to end the
scene and try the whole thing
over from the top? It’s not going
to happen exactly like that, but
you will get some version of a
do-over.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
learned what everyone wanted,
but now that seems like a long
time ago. Some have changed
their minds. Some you’ve for-
gotten about. It’s time to learn
anew.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
directions, requests, needs,
purchasing behaviors and more
will have far greater impact than
you think, perhaps indirectly.
Think about the ripple before
you throw the stone.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Maybe you can’t totally control
your moods (after all, feelings
can be rather impervious to con-
trol), but you’ve a good amount
of mastery over them, and you’ll
use what you know to guide
yourself into the sunshine.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Whether brilliant or dark,
these thoughts drifting through
your mind are not you, do not
define you and probably are
not even anything you came up
with. They are merely clouds.
You are the sky.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
When you give your laughter
freely and easily, you become a
magnet for funny people — es-
pecially the ones who interpret
laughter as the ultimate form of
love. They could be right about
that.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Temporary separations are actu-
ally very good for relationships
of all kinds, especially work.
Even a short time away will be
enough to give you the per-
spective that, upon your return,
leads to a breakthrough.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Chores reward. Surveying a
freshly mowed yard or open-
ing drawers filled with freshly
laundered and folded clothes
— these details are confidence
boosters.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
25). You’ve welcomed truth
even when it wasn’t so easily
digested. That’s why you’re so
deserving of this year’s cosmic
present: truth that’s sweet, not
because it’s sugarcoated but
because it’s as wholesome as
ripe grapes. You’ll be promoted.
It will be nice to focus on more
exciting things. Your family will
grow. Capricorn and Cancer
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 5, 49, 15, 2 and 11.
