DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2019
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Everyone is overprivileged in
some way. If you think you don’t
deserve something that you
have, you’re probably right. But
you have it anyway. So go on and
keep finding ways to earn it.
The same action can be harmful
or helpful depending on why a
person is doing it. People’s inten-
tions may not make a difference
to the outcome, but they will
make a difference in your inter-
pretation of it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Anger is only a negative emotion
if it’s used wrong, for instance to
hurt someone. If you feel angry,
you’ll channel it toward its best
uses — as protection and for the
correction of injustice.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Adding or subtracting even one
thing from your daily schedule
can set everything off balance.
It will take trial and error to find
a routine that’s just right. Allow
for experimentation. Keep trying
new things until you love it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s
hard to respect another person’s
needs if you don’t know what
they are. Then again, just asking
isn’t likely to work. People often
don’t realize or won’t admit what
they need. See what you can
learn through observation.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ev-
eryone hates to be treated as the
means to an end. Even when it’s
a person’s job or role to be of ser-
vice, you still make the effort to
acknowledge the person and not
just what that person provides.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If some-
one you love still manages to
baffle you, all the better. Empa-
thy allows you to accept a person
without having a complete
understanding of who that per-
son is. Anyway, you’ll enjoy the
mystery today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No
one likes to feel that they are
losing control. Acts that make
others feel out of control will
be met with resistance. Your
work to empower others will be
embraced.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Experi-
ence will teach you what reading
could not and what thinking,
imagining, researching, fearing,
conversing or meditating could
not. No more stalling. Get in
there and do the thing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Leisure doesn’t just magically
come together. It can take as
much planning and preparation
as any work project, if not more.
You’ll maximize your experience
by delving into the nitty gritty
details of fun.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ll be reminded that some
things that matter more than
feelings. You’re willing to be put
out by those you care for be-
cause close relationships matter
more than temporary inconve-
nience or discomfort.

DILBERT
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
There’s a prize on offer. You want
it as much as the next person,
but this thing has a mind of its
own. The more you chase it,
the less you have it. Sit still. Be
cool about it. Your good fortune
doesn’t depend on this.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
5). Due for a “rebranding,” you’ll
love how this year looks on you.
The sun in your birth zone is a
top P.R. agent, presenting you
so effectively that you’ll gain ad-
mirers. Reinvest the windfall you
get this month into new busi-
nesses. November is carefree. The
shenanigans in which you take
part in 2020 will be the most fun
you’ve had in years. Scorpio and
Aquarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 8, 3, 22, 18 and 7.
