DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If
you’re in the mood for a chal-
lenge, run from an active fear.
It will surely take chase. And
if you’re not in the mood for a
challenge and you simply want
to start fresh, back away slowly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
It’s easier to be disciplined in
front of other people. That’s
why going to the public gym
will make you work harder than
you would in a home gym, and
why the atmosphere of an office
brings out things that working
from home couldn’t.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There’s no need to self-scru-
tinize every move you make
— maybe just the repeated
ones. Repeated behaviors have
interesting stories to tell that are
deep enough for you to inter-
pret and reinterpret for years to
come.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
As arbitrary as the initial move
may be, it becomes an anchor
for every move after. Remember
this before you give something
a name, decide on a price or
introduce yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
work harder for something you
believe in than you would for a
paycheck or a prize. To work for
what you believe in is to make
your version of the ideal future
more probable.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’re coming into some power.
It may start in the form of mon-
ey, but of course, money isn’t
power, strictly speaking. How it’s
used is what matters most.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Prin-
ciples of marketing don’t just
work; they may be necessary to
the enjoyment of an experience.
People often don’t know what
they want until they see some-
one else enjoying it. Use this to
your advantage today.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To
remain firmly and faithfully on
course requires more than just
the best navigation system. It
also requires a system of checks
and balances. Adapt to the
weather. Keep checking your
position. And adjust according-
ly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). With emotional flexibility
comes resilience. Resilience al-
lows you to not only do the hard
work of adapting to adverse
conditions but also do the much
more difficult work of adapting
to conditions that are favorable.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Sometimes the things that are
subpar are not worth men-
tioning. Not everything needs
improvement at all times. You
can come up with better uses of
your energy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’re growing into a new role,
and you already embody several
aspects of it. You’re starting to
feel as though you own a thing
before you actually do. This will
make the transition easier.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Many people don’t want to
learn. They want you to do it for
them. It’s fine if you’re getting
paid in some manner or form.
The best arrangements, and the
only ones that last, feature a
mutually beneficial exchange.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
22). Though last year was a year
of many wins, there’s something
you were unable to accomplish.
You’ll keep at it with joy in
your heart and a determined
attitude. Constancy is deserving
of success, which will be all the
sweeter for your effort. You’ll
trade up in November. Contracts
and promises will be exchanged
in February. Libra and Sagittar-
ius adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 4, 20, 3, 38 and 5.
