DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Ideas inspire but until you imple-
ment the knowledge you really
don’t know anything. As part of
your body, your brain needs to
feel the entire system in action in
order to assimilate things right.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
If only you could order up
the people you want to meet,
picking them out of a menu as
you would a chicken salad. Wait,
you actually can do this, either
digitally online, or spiritually. The
spiritual way works better.
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Could you do it alone? Yes.
Should you? No. It won’t be as
fun. You won’t remember it as
well. It will be harder to motivate
yourself to the finish line. Use the
accountability built into groups.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Things are only complicated until
you understand how they work.
Even the knottiest situation
comes unraveled when you
know which string to cut, or,
in today’s situation, where the
power button is located.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is your
strategy working? Right now, it’s
hard to tell through the dim fog
of complication. Don’t let it stop
you. Assume all is well and inch
your way forward. Better to hang
on a moment longer than to quit
when you’re almost there!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What
you give to others is an easy
smile, a warmth, a receptiveness
that lets them know they are be-
ing seen, heard and appreciated
in the best possible light. This gift
is worth more than gold.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Repeating your stories to others
may be a social faux pas, but
repeating them to yourself is
personal development. Why not
write it down? Give yourself the
chance to frame things, if possi-
ble, in a way that’s joyful.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Once you lost a cellphone in your
own house, proving that things
can get tricky in familiar envi-
ronments where you’re moving
quickly and unconsciously. You
need others to call you so you’ll
remember where you’ve been.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). People learn better when
various senses are utilized includ-
ing touch. A simple, reassuring
pat on the shoulder will actually
help comprehension. Whether
you’re the student or teacher,
you can use the principle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Among the specific qualities
you’re looking for in a compan-
ion, a good sense of humor will
top the list. Also, laughter has
a way of eliminating your need
for some of the other qualities,
rendering them null and void.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The fun part of your day will
include research and gathering
data. Not everyone who agrees
to help you will come through,
but don’t stress. The ones who
do show up will be just the ones
you need.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
One reason you’re afraid to relax
is that you don’t entirely trust
what’s going on around you. Will
it be OK to let down your guard?
Is your vigilance necessary to
keep this world spinning? There’s
only one way to find out.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
10). The intensity gets turned
up in the first three weeks when
you’re required to learn quickly
and advance to the next level of
an organization or social strata.
Your life will adjust every month
in some small way to support the
person you’re becoming. Here
comes better health and a gen-
eral outlook of optimism. Gemini
and Virgo adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 20, 1, 44 and 38.
