HOROSCOPE

RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Mixed in with your sunny and
constructive thoughts will be a
number of unhelpful ones trying
to pass themselves off as truth.
Shut them down by questioning
your thoughts to make them
prove their merit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Nothing is fixed in your life at the
moment. You can tinker with the
variables and completely differ-
ent outcomes will unfold. There’s
the exciting feeling of everything
being up in the air without a hint
as to how it will all land.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
first step to acing the assignment
is understanding that there is
one. Find out what is expected of
you, and then decide whether it’s
an expectation you care to fulfill.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There have been times when
you’ve dared to act on intuitive
impulses running counter to
reason and the results were so
right for you. Now you wonder
what would happen if you were
to function completely from
intuition.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll
play around with your mental
focus as if it were the zoom lens
of a camera, toggling between
a very detailed observation and
the wide focus that lets more
world in and makes problems
seem small, if they exist at all.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
already learned the unhappiness
that can come from mistaking
the extras for necessities. A grate-
ful heart remedies the distortion;
a humble attitude prevents such
confusion from happening in the
first place.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may
seem like you crave a particular
circumstance, though it could
really be a feeling you’re craving
— and that can be conjured in a
number of ways. Stay open to the
possibilities.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
think you sense what the other
person wants, and then he states
his case and it’s not what you
thought. But actually, you’re
more correct than he was about
it. People are notoriously bad at
knowing their own wants.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Evidenced in magic tricks and
parties where people hide in the
dark and pop out yelling, the ele-
ment of surprise is often planned
and planted. But not today! The
spontaneous novelty shows up
naturally from out of the blue.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’re not afraid of change.
You’ve accepted it as the only
thing consistent in existence! Still,
you like to have a general sense
of where things are going. Today
features a fascinating informa-
tion-gathering session.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
This phase of life is like a costume
you wear for a time, as you enact
a role. Changing things about the
costume doesn’t change the role,
but it makes you feel and move
differently inside it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
may fumble around a bit in the
effort to find your place. You’ll be
served by every mishap, enriched
by the contrast of an eruption
of confusion that settles into
perfect peace.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
24). It’s almost impossible for
you to be selflessly generous,
because you keep getting hand-
somely repaid for the sacrifices
you make. It’s like the universe
is insistent on doubling your
rewards. Fortune will favor you
through collaborations. Athletic
wins and creative breakthroughs
are featured, too. August brings a
game-changing deal. Sagittarius
and Taurus adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 25, 4, 26 and 1.
