DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
MONDAY, JULY 5, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You want the goodness you felt
before. But for some reason, you
can’t get there in the same way.
Don’t worry. Just try something
else. There are hundreds of routes
to the same feeling.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Consult others before you initiate
action. Even when you have
enough information to respond,
it will benefit you to hold back
until the right moment — the
moment you can take control of
the situation.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Because you know someone very
well, you don’t have to try hard to
understand. You hear it all when
they say everything, and when
they say nothing, several simulta-
neous meanings are deliberately
implied. You get every one.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). In
these early days of a project, the
endeavor is wholly unproven.
Either give yourself margins of
error that are so wide, they may
as well be the page itself or put
up the equivalent of bumpers in a
bowling lane.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You ex-
press yourself hoping that others
will unanimously support and
embrace your truth. But the good
effects of your honesty happen
regardless of their reaction due
to the powerful, gravity-defying
effects of truth-telling.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be-
ware of those who give their opin-
ion like it’s gold, like it’s enriching
to all on whom it is bestowed, like
it’s essential to the economy. The
ones to watch are too busy living
the principle to stop and hand out
all the “gold.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What
makes humble work so satisfying
is its obvious completion. It’s easy
to tell when the floor is swept or
the window is spotless. You’ll deal
in complex and difficult work.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
Make luck for yourself by empty-
ing the trash.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Having preferences can be costly.
Needing things to be a certain
way can cage you into a position
of having to fight for what you
want — or just having to wait,
save, trade, negotiate, work for it.
What if you wanted less?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Life feels like a maze, but at least
it’s a maze you get to set up for
yourself. Arrange it so it’s easy to
move through. What you can you
do to make your environment
conducive to moving forward?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll be tapped by the challenge.
Does it seem like a bad time?
There is never a comfortable time
to stretch because stretching is, by
definition, a discomfort, though
one that you could learn to crave.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
A golf club could have multiple
purposes. It could be used as a
weapon, a hammer, meat tender-
izer, rhythm instrument, etc. But of
course, it is best suited to playing
golf. Apt applications give tools
their highest value.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just
because you can’t do a thing
perfectly, or even well, doesn’t
mean you can’t do it at all. Being
willing to get a little messy in the
process will be the key to your
overall success.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
5). To be rung like a bell by the
strike of desire — this is no small
gift. Such clarity of purpose only
comes along a handful of times
in a lifetime. This solar return sees
you driven by inner fire, commit-
ted at a level that few will know
and the rest won’t understand.
You’ll embrace your destiny with
certainty and do whatever it takes.
Aries and Sagittarius adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 11,
39 and 2.
