B3 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, MAy 4, 2021 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 RHYMES WITH ORANGE ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re already thinking about what’s on the other side of today’s task, and the thought of moving on will motivate you to do what it takes to get a job done efficiently and completely. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll have a sense of it today: “You are loved. There’s an invisible world all around you. A kingdom of spirits commis- sioned to guard you, do you not see it?” from “Jane Eyre,” by your signmate Charlotte Bronte. B.C. DILBERT BIZARRO WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Those who point out the faults of others would imply that they have fewer by comparison, which is rarely the case. The need to impress is itself a fault to be examined. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be- ware: Meeting the expectations of powerful and enthusiastic people is its own kind of thrilling experience, so potent that it becomes easy to confuse who you are with who they want you to be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once upon a time, you launched yourself into the unknown for adventure’s sake. Now, you’re much more purposeful. You want answers! New friends! Resources! Adventure is just a byproduct of the quest. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The plot will highlight your exper- tise. Your wins are partly due to good planning and partly due to good instinct and you’ll seamlessly swing between these modes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t take the focus of others for granted. You expect to earn any attention you get. You’ll deliberately structure interactions so as to keep things interesting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Speak your mind. This may be the very thing the other person is think- ing but hasn’t said. Or it may be that you’ve synthesized ideas that the others haven’t quite put together yet. Either way, the world needs your voice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Those who bite off more than they can chew are at risk of choking. But there are safer ways to approach ambition, for instance, cutting and saving the big portion to slice into manage- able segments. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). At some point, you have to stop learning and planning because action will teach you the rest. You’re almost there. Give your- self the deadline and start the countdown. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 6). Your optimism is a choice, a habit you lead with and part of an overall strategy for your new solar year. You’ll attract like-minded people and enjoy celebrating each other’s vic- tories in the months to come. Putting the effort into relation- ships to keep them interesting and sweet will be an effort that pays you back all year! Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 40, 23, 18 and 21. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid those bored people who have nothing better to do than work up one another’s emotions over petty things. You benefit from sticking with the kindred souls with varied interests and wide horizons. NON SEQUITUR SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Caring people bring out a soft, sweet side of your heart. Uncar- ing people do the same, as you consciously decide to oppose their bad example. So, what calls out stoutness of heart? Being needed.
