DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2019
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If
you had to weigh in on every-
thing, life would be mighty
exhausting. Anyway, there’s
a whole lot that doesn’t need
evaluation today. You’ll like what
happens when you assume a
posture of unconditional accep-
tance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
thing about full-on adulthood
is that often the thing you don’t
want to do is also the right thing
to do, and you know that. It’s
why you don’t want to do it and
also why you must.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Ev-
ery day is a fresh start, but some
days there are so many loose
ends to tie up, they feel like an
extension of yesterday or last
week. Just remember that you
don’t have to do anything. These
are all choices.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There is no objective reason for
you to feel like an outsider. Con-
versations can be a connected
flow. The more relaxed you are,
the better. The moment you start
judging yourself — that’s the
habit to catch and turn around.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Because
you know that growing through
your mistakes is a much faster
style of learning than you get in
a classroom, you can forgo the
educational fees and instead get
busy doing the thing.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). How-
ever harshly a person judges
others, their self-judgment is
likely to be much worse. Con-
versely, offering appreciation to
others indicates a generosity of
spirit that also extends inward.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
wouldn’t expect a baby to go
nonstop from one activity to
the next and the next without
getting overstimulated, cranky
and possibly melting down. That
infant brain is still inside you and
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
needs breaks to process life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’re allowed to experiment
with your life, and even with
your style and sense of identity.
When you tell your story, even
if it’s just from you to you, it’s
a way of painting a picture of
yourself and then trying it on
for fit.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You sincerely want to see
others succeed. You work toward
it. And this work will not only
count toward helping other peo-
ple get to their goals, it will also
count toward your own success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Successful teams will be diverse.
Different backgrounds and
opinions will be part of what will
make a team great. Still, when
it’s time to step, everyone must
step together.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Because friendship is your most
treasured possession, you’re
willing to do the maintenance
necessary to keep it not only
in great working order but
polished up and gleaming. It
might be a little costly now, but
it’s worth it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Keep making things, like you do.
Let nothing discourage you. This
is part of what keeps you vital
and certainly something you’ll
be remembered for.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Oct.17). You’ll inspire, coach
and facilitate big successes for
the ones you care about. In
doing so, you’ll fulfill your own
destiny and profit in all the
ways that matter to you. Your
connection with family deep-
ens through shared work, so
don’t be afraid to turn domestic
projects and renovations into
a group activity. Aries and Leo
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 8, 44, 37, 7 and 12.
