DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The shortcuts that are heavily ad-
vertised are almost never going
to get you there faster. Lots of
people will take the publicized
route, thus creating a traffic jam
— frustrating, slow-going, more
like a trap than a solution.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ve had the sensation before
of getting what you want and
being strangely unsatisfied by
having it. That’s what makes the
genuine appreciation and grati-
tude you feel today all the more
wonderful.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
are your first responsibility, and
if you’re doing the job right, the
boss, which is also you, should
be pleased by, not merely
tolerant of, your efforts. When it
comes to supporting yourself, go
all out.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Trust is very important to friend-
ship. Without it people can’t be
as close. Still, you sometimes
have to be around people you
don’t trust, and it’s not necessari-
ly a reason for confrontation. Just
stay guarded and aware.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
perception is better than your
sight. Push your perception into
things that are far away and try
to feel how they would be close
up. Then do the same in reverse.
The exercise strengthens your
intuition.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s
better to engage with people
instead of shutting them out be-
cause you don’t agree with them.
You’ll have more power in the
situation when you’re connect-
ed in some way. Find common
ground.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
have a better than usual influ-
ence over your own mental state
and will be able to consciously
move your attitude to where it
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
needs to be to get the most of
the situation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There is no good reason to shy
away from what makes you
laugh and smile. Bonus: The
fun you’ll have will inspire your
financial sector. There may even
be a way to make money at this.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You don’t have to be wan-
dering to be lost. Many are lost
right where they live. But some-
times just looking at the bigger
picture found inside a map starts
to bring paths and destinations
to mind.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
When your idea doesn’t land the
way you want it to, that doesn’t
mean it’s a bad idea. You could
have the wrong audience, or the
timing could be off. Tinker with
the variables before throwing
this one out.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Everyone gets to tap his or her
own untapped potential. Others
may lead the way, but it is up to
each individual to figure out how
to get to their own good stuff.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’re pretty effective on your
own, and besides, you’re still not
sure whom you can trust and
how you can best work with
your various options. You’ll learn
much even as you keep things
friendly and noncommittal.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
5). The way you live your life
and/or run your business is as
much a work of art as anything
you produce. As you express
yourself and follow your muse,
you show people a path they
hadn’t thought of. Your novel
leadership will open the door to
the sort of experiences you once
dreamed about having when
you were small. Leo and Aries
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 20, 4, 44, 28 and 13.
