DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It
is often the case when an artist
creates a masterpiece that the
inertia takes over and subse-
quently carries the action for a
long stretch. A beautiful rut is
still a rut. You are the artist. Stay
active in the design of your life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Those moments, like a zephyr of
mental chaos through your brain,
can serve to energize you if you
relax and let it blow through. It
leaves little behind, but what
does remain will be treasure — a
gift from the ether.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Here come the unexpected
stimuli and restraints. You roll
with this sort of thing, having
learned lessons in control long
ago. Managing every little thing
is a waste of time. Let it inspire
you instead.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Why waste your time being
disappointed at people who
will never change when there’s
a whole world of go-getters out
there waiting to help you with
your next idea?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There’s almost nothing you
can successfully accomplish
using just your mind today.
Unless your body and spirit are
involved, the thing will fall flat
and prove unworthy of further
attention.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Collaborate with everybody.
Outsiders, insiders, customers,
critics — they all help to illumi-
nate the task at hand. Brilliance
is an emergent quality of diverse
groups.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
thing that looks easy may have
taken a person hours or years to
create. This is something to keep
in mind before you start the
discussion, compliment, criticize
or follow in kind.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). “The
future is here,” said science-fic-
tion writer William Gibson. “It’s
just not widely distributed yet.”
You’ll aid in that distribution to-
day with your forward-thinking
contribution.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What
people expect of you could
have the effect of cheering you
on. However, you probably feel
more like those expectations are
looming over you, nagging and
negging you. This is a sure sign
that you need a break.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
What’s happening in an inter-
action is nuanced. The terms of
the agreement aren’t the real
exchange; that goes unstated,
involving a subconscious tender
too raw for one or more parties to
recognize or admit to.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Gaming sharpens skills that will
have real-world consequences.
The game you thought was
pointless is actually the entire
point, only in metaphoric form
and much plays out just as the
game did.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’ve so many options that it
would be easy to spread yourself
too thin. To avoid that shortcut to
burnout, decide what you need
upfront and make sure those
requirements are a top priority be-
fore you say yes to anything else.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (June
26). Your cosmic boon will be
a rain of disruptive creativity
that spills into relationships and
projects, imbuing them with
an epic quest-like feeling. Your
tremendous powers of originality
can be applied in so many ways,
and, notably, you’ll arrange your
schedule and environment to
honor your most interesting pur-
suits. Aquarius and Virgo adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4,
44, 38 and 41.
