DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Dominance and aggression are
poor ways to hold on to power.
You’ll get an example of this to-
day as people move away from
overly controlling influences
and toward those who comfort
and assure.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
How well do you understand
people? Don’t guess; test it out.
Interactions will show you more
than a resume or interview
could. Joint projects will be the
best teachers.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When you genuinely care about
the people you’re with, the
qualities of leadership naturally
flow from you. The first steps are
to care and then to see a way to
make things better for others.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Much will be said without
words. In fact, the words will
only complicate things unnec-
essarily. Because you’re paying
attention you will get the real
story, not the one in the bro-
chure.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What-
ever your weakness, that’s the
part of the design that can be
worked with, possibly made so
strong that it’s the best part of
the package — the part that
draws people in.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Not every role model is created
equal. There are people in the
business of helping others who
only really help themselves.
Don’t buy into a model that
shows signs of greed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
activities may not seem like any-
thing negative, but when you
don’t like where you end up, and
you seem to end up there more
often than not, those activities
just aren’t working. Change it
up.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The thing you do in the moment
might be impulsive or awkward
or might lack a certain amount
of emotional control that you
wish you could claim. Who
cares? The important thing is
that you’re doing something.
Credit yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Pointing fingers will be
a temptation. Of course, it
wouldn’t bother you about
another person if you didn’t
notice the quality somewhere in
yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). With goal setting, getting
the scale right is tricky — big
enough to make a detectable
difference but not so big as to
be unattainable. You probably
won’t nail this on the first try, so
keep going until you do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The same structure that protects
us and brings shelter in our day-
to-day life can also be a cage.
It all comes down to choices,
keys and the logic behind lit exit
signs.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s
as though you’ve been through
this scenario already in some
kind of simulated drill. You may
not remember it, but there’s a
gut feeling left over that you can
trust.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
8). It will be as though the plan-
etary winds heighten your sens-
es this solar return, helping you
to both enjoy and to understand
life more fully. Relationships
thrive as you apply your talents
to building a better world with
others. There’s an important deal
to iron out in November and a
key decision in January. Capri-
corn and Gemini adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 39, 23, 48, 46
and 21.
