DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
accuracy in which you say a per-
son’s name and recall the details
of an event or accomplishment
will be crucial to the success of a
conversation. Practice first to be
safe.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Maybe it’s not your job to get ev-
eryone on the same wavelength,
but if you miss that part, your job
won’t go very smoothly. Listen to
find out where people are. Then
you can build a bridge to where
you need them to be.
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
have no interest in simply being
active. What does it matter unless
you’re also productive? Efficiency
matters to you, and you’ll point
out the wastes of time and ener-
gy in order to make a better plan.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Some breeds of horse can pull
three times their weight. You’ve a
kinship with the centaur today, as
you’ll be given much more work
than the others. That’s probably
because you can handle it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Every
environment has a tone. To per-
petuate and maintain the tone
is an act of respect. Some tones
need or deserve to be interrupt-
ed and reset, but for the most
part today’s social interaction
requires only matching.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The way you make introductions
will be important, whether you’re
introducing yourself or others.
People learn how to consider
one another through social cues.
Getting this right will set off a
nice chain of events.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There’s so much that can be lost
— keys and friends, dimes, socks,
points, heart, will, concentration.
The magnitude of losable things
is what makes that which you
haven’t and can’t seem to lose so
wonderfully yours. Appreciate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It
would be easy to obsess with the
extremes of the situation. Rigid
perspectives jut out, defining the
edges of what’s acceptable. Over
time, they get worn by wind and
water. They soften, crumble and
recess.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Resent-
ment takes up energetic space. It
creates a blockage. New oppor-
tunity opens up to you just as
soon as you lose your resentment
over that old thing that, for what-
ever reason, just didn’t happen.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Take your time in considering
options. No decision is a decision,
possibly the best one. This is
especially applicable to financial
matters. Avoid recurring commit-
ments. Things will be different
tomorrow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The
legendary New York Yankees
catcher Yogi Berra said, “When
you come to a fork in the road,
take it.” With great enthusiasm,
you’ll somehow manage to
advance several trajectories at
once today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Physical and emotional space is
the theme. People are different
in their requirements of this.
Assume nothing, and lightly test
boundaries the way you might
check an electric fence to see if
NON SEQUITUR
it’s on.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Au-
gust 1). The new regimen you
start this month will rock your
world, giving you the increased
vitality to uphold your stan-
dards. You strive for friendliness,
compassion and community
even while exhibiting strength
and competitive instinct. It’s
these contrasts of character that
make you popular and give you
an edge in business. Sagittarius
and Pisces adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 40, 2, 22 and 18.
