BLONDIE
DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JULY 3, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). As
far as you’re concerned, power,
money and fame are not the
goal. There’s nothing wrong with
those things, but they are only
worth obtaining insofar as they
can be utilized to create a better
community.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Dreaming big used to entail
thinking of a blown-up version of
your wish. Now your conscious-
ness has changed. Dreaming big
entails expanding your vision to
include the best interest of the
highest number of people.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Loved ones will grow and change
right along with you. This is not a
coincidence. You’re helping one
another grow. You are especially
good at celebrating the many
passages and incarnations inside
of this life together.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
sculptor chips away at everything
that’s not the sculpture. The
detective discovers the truth by
finding the lies and cover-ups.
And you’ll figure out what you
want to do by trying things that
turn out to be definitely not that.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
believe in giving more than you
get, and yet it’s going to be a re-
ally difficult thing to accomplish
because your generosity keeps
repaying you exponentially.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Embrace those inevitabilities you
cannot get away from. There is
no living in the light without the
contrast to help you see things.
There is no retreat from one’s
own shadow, but at least you
always have company!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There
is nothing selfish about figuring
out what you like. You actually
do the world a huge favor by
learning yourself very well. The
struggle against one’s own baser
instincts can be as ferocious as
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
any external conflict.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Delight yourself. Don’t wait for
someone else to do it; you’re
the one best suited to the job.
Anyone who’d memorized your
preferences would still be clue-
less as to nuances of quantity and
variation that might please you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The difference between a step
forward and a step back is the
destination. You think you know
where you’re headed, but life has
other ideas. Right now, it’s safe
to assume that if you’re moving,
you’re making progress.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Your receptiveness earns you an
insider’s position. You’ll learn so
much by listening well that you
just may save your own agenda
and stories for another time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ll learn through cautionary
examples and aspirational mod-
els alike. Let everything absorb
a while. The lessons are like a
marinade; you have to soak in it
to get the flavor, and there’s no
way to shorten the process.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is
said that you can never have too
many friends, and your current
stars suggest you could use a
more diverse array. Skills and
orientations different from your
own will teach you and afford
you rare advantages.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
3). You find yourself through
discovering the world. As you
become an expert on what inter-
ests you, doubts dissolve — not
just about your subject but about
other areas of life. Boldness and
breakthroughs are the theme.
The more you love your choices,
the less you need other people to
love them — and yet, love them
they do. Leo and Libra adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 30, 5, 27,
10 and 44.
