BLONDIE
DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
MONDAY, MAY 17, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Try
not to get too caught up in how
important a job is. Commit to
the work, whatever it may be, as
though the harmony of the uni-
verse depends on it. It just might.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
right mindset helps you cruise
unimpeded by the worries or
doubts of underconfidence and
overthinking. It takes time and
experimentation, but it’s well
worth it to learn how to conjure
that mindset on command.
B.C.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Lately,
your feelings are often suspended
as you wait to see what goes well
and what blows up spectacularly.
Every outcome is a sign that you’re
doing what you’re supposed to
be doing at this stage: testing it
all out.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). As
you find yourself actually enjoying
the same process that others meet
with dread, you prove a point
about the power of interpretation.
Cultivate this and you have the
world in the palm of your hand.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is
no reasoning with what was born
outside of reason’s realm. Much
falls into the category, including
every animal and infant, and every
fear or impulse that comes from
the animal and infantile parts of
the brain.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While
the newbies may be wise to aim
for incremental, reachable goals,
the pros, who long ago separated
their self-worth from the task at
hand, will set the bar impossibly
high and expect to fail gloriously
and often.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The un-
tapped resources around you are
so plentiful there’s no time to tap
them all. Where to start? You can
afford to be a little selfish about it
right now. Your preferences and
interests are as worthy of serving
as anyone’s.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
keep finding new ways to be
useful. You’ll figure out how you
can create convenience, relieve
pain and solve the problem. Your
efforts are only successful when
they give you ease, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Though the only way to re-
ally know if something will work
for you is to try it, there are many
things that are not worth the
risk. Today, your educated guess
will steer you very accurately.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You don’t need all good
examples around you as the
inspiration for living right. In
fact, it is the bad examples that
can be the most motivating of
all. You’ll be shown an array of
models, both aspirational and
cautionary.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Should you dive in or dip a toe
in? Much depends on the num-
ber of people in the pool. Your
strategy will be determined by
what others are doing and how
many are doing it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Whether you sit in the sun or
the shade is a personal choice,
though it’s dictated by things
beyond your control. Metaphor-
ically, your skin is sensitive and
protection is required to avoid
getting burned.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
17). Wisdom’s heartbeat
commands the rhythm of your
solar year. There is magic in the
pauses. Your restraint (somehow
at once judicious and natural)
will have you moving strategical-
ly and with purpose, your goals
ever in mind. You’ll alternate
between going out on a limb
and returning to the roots that
stand you in good stead. Libra
and Scorpio adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 30, 50, 2, 21
and 17.
