DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s
hard to say which is more dif-
ficult — the battering down of
instinct necessary to resist the
temptation your inner animal is
lunging for or the consequenc-
es that go along with giving in.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
think you know what you have,
but you really don’t. This is why
it will be a delight to hear your
admirers talk. Bonus: The com-
pliments don’t go to your head.
You’ll use your charms to make
other people feel charming.
B.C.
DILBERT
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll ask yourself the ques-
tions that matter. How are you
contributing? Who is better off
because of your involvement,
care and presence? And finally,
what can you do to step it up a
notch?
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Anything that pays off intel-
lectually pays off — period.
If you’re wondering if you’re
going to make money, consider
that may be an irrelevant ques-
tion when it comes to pursuits
likely to polish your mind and
soul.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
If people who functioned per-
fectly fine before they knew you
now seem hopelessly depen-
dent on what you do for them,
this is an illusion and one that’s
healthy to shatter.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sometimes, you are most
helped by your supporters, but
more often it is your competi-
tors and enemies that are the
true MVPs of your life. They
inspire your best and sharpest.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What
is painstaking is also rewarding,
and what is rewarding is also
painstaking. The two cannot, in
fact, be separated as the pain is
what gives the reward its value.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). To bring the vision of your
mind into a form that others
can see, too, you must build a
bridge. It will require trial, error
and excellent communication
with cooperative entities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
First, you were dazzled by the
potential in a person, and then
later you asked yourself, “What
did I see in that person?” The an-
swer: what you wanted to see.
Your vision becomes more accu-
rate with every experience.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Context
and culture play a huge part in
people’s decision-making. Your
work goes better when you dive
deeper into understanding the
values and challenges of the
people you’re trying to serve.
BIZARRO
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No
one is born with the stuff that
will automatically make them
popular or rich. Even those born
to the monarchy must earn their
status in the eyes of their court
and country. You rise to the
challenge of creating yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Don’t forget about the part
in the cycle of productivity in
which nothing happens. This
dormancy is as crucial as sleep,
which all living things do in
their own way, even the trees
and the mushrooms.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 4). Your work won’t
be easy, but it will be super
fun. You’ll be challenged with
bringing a group to the future.
This is perfect for you, as you’re
not afraid of change and your
emotional intelligence is off
the charts. Financial incentives
keep things interesting, and
you maintain that winning spirit
that attracts lady luck. Leo and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 2, 22, 18, 3 and 17.
