A7 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, JuNE 15, 2021 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 2021 RHYMES WITH ORANGE B.C. DILBERT BIZARRO ARIES (March 21-April 19). Nothing makes or breaks an experience like expectation. And assumption, the close cousin of expectation, outright changes your understanding of reality. This adventure goes better when you leave those kin at home. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve had your share of fickle friends who only come out to play in the sun and leave you wanting and alone in the shad- ows of dreary weather. This is why, no matter what comes, you show up for your own. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A great accomplishment is earned in small gains. The steps you execute today will set you up for one of the more exceptional weekends you’ve had in a long while. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If what you feel is the down- ward tug of tethers, you’ll also be presented with the option afford- ed by garden shears. It’s so easy to build yourself up when there’s nothing holding you down. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The path before you is being cleared. This isn’t a lucky happening so much as payback for work you’ve done, relationships you’ve culti- vated and favors you’ve so freely given in the past. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once upon a time, the answers were blowing in the wind. They may still be, but since people are not outside as much, check for answers trending on social media, too. Also, call a mom, and, just to be safe, check everywhere. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll model yourself after an admired person, aligning in superficial ways at first, and then on deeper levels such as communication style, work approach and attitude about life and relationships. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your current circle of friends, loved ones and supporters help you in every way they know, and yet what you really want and need right now is still conspicuously missing. Time to widen the circle, broaden the search. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In full knowledge that an oppor- tunity will not be here forever, you’ll soak up every bit of its deliciousness while you have it. You’re a smart cookie who realiz- es a good thing while it’s yours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are ways of knowing that fall outside the five senses that seem to be giving you lots of informa- tion now (arguably more than you’re finding in the traditional ways), and the best part is that you can trust it. NON SEQUITUR WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When in doubt, diversify. Seek advice, friendship and news from different sources. Make sure you’re not getting your inspira- tion and influence all from one place, as that’s a short ride to narrow-minded mistakes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Part of you wants to go back and reopen the old fight, check under the hood of a relationship or rehash a more dramatic bit of history. Yes, there’s something juicy there, and it should be left back there, too! THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 17). Though you’re serious about making progress, you never lose your sense of humor — an essential part of your charismatic leadership. Qualities like loyalty and honor become increasingly relevant. Your commitment to a person or an ideal will define much of your year and in ways you’ll always be proud of. Virgo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 21, 14 and 2.
