DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
don’t have to believe in a thing
for it to help you. Being respect-
ful of the ways other people
believe and live puts you in the
receptive attitude that attracts
maximum assistance from any-
where and everywhere.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your capacity to question things
is at the heart of your being.
Anyone who discourages your
curiosity is, in a very real way,
discouraging you. Let that be
a red flag — an indicator that
there is something to hide.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You weren’t trying to impress
anyone, but they got impressed
anyhow and now you feel some
pressure to keep this up. Step
back. You’re not here for their
entertainment. Go back to pleas-
ing yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your work has gotten better, so
much so that you would cringe
at earlier efforts if that weren’t
such a disservice to your earnest,
hardworking, well-intended
former-self.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re a
passionate and complex person
with your own point of view, one
that won’t seem to match up
to what’s popular. It might not
even match up to a single other
opinion out there. Stand tight.
Hold the position.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
can’t prove what’s important.
What’s important to you won’t
hold the same priority or mean-
ing for everyone. But knowing
that matters of health and safety
will eventually affect all, you’ll
make your choice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Allur-
ing language, intriguing ideas
... you know a chance at being
transported when you see it. You
won’t hesitate to hop on board
for a fun excursion out of the
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
usual reality.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
situation is less than ideal. Truth
hasn’t exactly been upheld here,
at least not to your standards.
But you’d still rather stay and be
helpful, or withdraw, than stay
and not be helpful, which would
breed bitterness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Just because knowledge on
a matter is unavailable doesn’t
mean it’s nonexistent. From
germs to quasars, theories are
proven all of the time. You’ve
a theory you can safely act on;
there’s no need to wait for the
proof.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Your definition of happiness will
dovetail with that of another,
and together you’ll do the things
that make both of you smile.
You could get along with lots of
people, but not this well. This is
special.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When very young people say
certain things that don’t strike
you as quite right, you’ll excuse
the error, extending the same
grace that was afforded you by
your elders.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Stick to the original plan. Adher-
ing to a schedule, or at least to
an order of events, will keep you
feeling productive even when
the evidence is slow in coming.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Au-
gust 3). They’ll celebrate you,
and you should, too, because
you’re the one who knows ex-
actly what you want. You’ll have
access to it every month of the
year, if you prioritize. Keep your
promises to yourself. Enough
with the modesty already. Think
bigger. Invest in your educa-
tion. Accept gifts. Self-promote.
Sagittarius and Capricorn adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 9,
13, 24, 30 and 1.
