DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JULY 17, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
cultivate that which you need,
and yet you still feel you never
have enough of it. Since this
feeling (not exactly one of lack,
but of an ever-present, low-grade
hunger) keeps your world spin-
ning, you may as well embrace it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Re-
sist the impulse to demonstrate
your value. While it might be nice
to belong in someone’s realm,
you shouldn’t have to prove
yourself to get in. Good matches
take off effortlessly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
What you aim for in love is a
simple feeling, but it comes from
an extremely sophisticated set
of rules and decisions, covering
many measures, involving a great
number of details. Go easy! Give
yourself a break!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Noticing and honoring
the negative space (whether
physical, emotional or other, like
silence or blankness) will double
your perception. More than the
punctuation to matter, space is
its own beautiful (non)entity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A
new order is settling in. You
don’t have total control over this
development, but you still have
enough influence to alter desti-
ny. Question of the night: Who
do you need on your team?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
It won’t be appropriate to say
everything you want to say, and
the other person is also holding
back. The two of you can read so
much between the lines.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
sommelier calls the wine’s color
the “robe.” And if you were a
wine, your robe would be expe-
rienced as lighter and rosier than
expected, breathing and grateful
to be released from a bottled-up
state.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
packing for a trip, start with
opening the suitcase you’ll use,
the dimensions of which will
make a lot of decisions for you.
Containers are their own kind of
inspiration. Content follows the
form of the vessel.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Though the guru says are all one
consciousness experiencing itself
subjectively, you still seem to be
having the hardest time figuring
out what a certain someone is
thinking.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People
are always asking you to be the
judge because you’re so fair.
There’s a reason judges get paid
though; it’s work! Find ways to
appreciate the contributions of
others without putting yourself
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
in a position to rate them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
What you thought would be one
choice turned out to be a life-
style. The pursuit now accesses
so much of your passion that
you almost feel as though you’re
living for it — which is exactly
what’s needed for success at it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No
pressure, but … people want
your acceptance, crave your en-
couragement and look forward
to your attention. It’s a good
thing you also get a charge from
giving in this way and, in fact,
will feel like you’re the one being
gifted.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
17). You’ve come to a groovy
place. Happy with your own
company, everything else is just
a bonus — and there will be so
many bonuses this year! You’ll be
trusted with special knowledge,
and you’ll profit from it, too. Your
work will go out to more people,
which will allow you to explore
higher realms of mastery. Taurus
and Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 5, 32, 40, 16
and 28.
