DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’re bold, blunt and get away
with it because you’re also
benevolent. (Never mind being
totally in the right — which is
something to keep to yourself, as
it never goes down easy.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is
possible to go through days with-
out feeling completely awake.
Today, when your brain enlivens
and the ideas drop in, it’s a gentle
high — like the plants must feel
when the rains begin — perked
up, more than alive.
B.C.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
solution comes from seeing the
problem in different ways. One
new idea is a start — proof of
the magic difference perspective
can make. Don’t stop there. At 25
alternatives, you’ve only begun
to scratch the surface.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll be drawn to people who do
something outside of what you
would usually encounter. They
inspire (encourage or flat force
you!) out of your comfort zone.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Worse
than doing a boring thing repeat-
edly is thinking a boring thing
repeatedly — if only because it
happens faster and the number
of repetitions expands exponen-
tially. Quick! Introduce exciting
thoughts before the zombies
win!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Consider that a person’s choice
of company has everything to
do with what feels familiar and
comfortable. Of course, “familiar”
and “comfortable” doesn’t always
equal “healthy,” it might equal
“irritating” or “diminishing.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Adults
see the structures and rules of
orderly society; toddlers see
playgrounds of possibility; e.g.,
perfectly painted walls are blank
canvases waiting for a crayon
mural. You’ll benefit from mo-
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
ments of toddler mentality.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One
change, of even the smallest de-
tail, affects everything else. You’d
be surprised at how a day of
eating everything with a butter
knife or making only right turns
can wholly alter your destiny.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Smugness will be a huge turnoff.
Those who act like they’ve got
everything “on lock” are likely
missing the sort of complexities
and nuances that interest you the
most. You’ll take curiosity over
confidence every time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Maybe every muscle in your
body has gotten some degree
of usage in this lifetime. But has
every cell of your brain been
activated? Not even Leonardo da
Vinci could claim that! New areas
of your mind will tingle today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Whatever it is today, take your
sweet time. Go at the pace that
allows you to absorb and experi-
ence. Let the others speed ahead
or lag behind. It doesn’t matter.
Your life = your clock.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). True
confidence isn’t an empowered
and puffed-up state. It’s actually
more of a nonstate. It’s a surren-
der to the task at hand. The reac-
tions of others become irrelevant
because all focus is entwined in
the movement of the dance.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (April
3). Permission to dream outra-
geously! The answer to a pres-
surized situation is to apply more
pressure. Set unrealistic goals.
Impossible aims free you to think
of the most creative means of
getting there. That success is
entirely unlikely will not stop
your endeavor from yielding
results nothing short of magical
and astounding. Virgo and Pisces
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 8, 18, 14, 3 and 7.
