DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JULY 31, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Social problems require creative
and thoughtful approaches.
Brainstorm about it. The more
conscientious you are, the more
opportunities you find to con-
nect, help and raise the group.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Consider that interest you pursue
when you’re supposed to be work-
ing. For happiness over the long
haul, your go-to procrastination
is a winning contender. Is there a
way to make it your main deal?
B.C.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
places you go with people will
be very important to the flavor
of your connection. Regional
influences will color a love
connection the way the soil in
different places changes the
taste of grape varietals.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like
your brain, your heart gets too
comfortable in your everyday
surroundings. Make it uncom-
fortable by spending time in
another land. Travel makes you
love anew.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
best gifts are those that don’t
obligate you to the giver. Even
a gift card comes with a re-
sponsibility to shop for yourself.
You’ll receive loveliness today,
and it comes without strings or
requirements of any sort.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Though you believe your
struggles happen in silence and
privacy, there are some who can
sense what you’re feeling. They
may not know the particulars,
but they resonate with them
anyway and want to be part of
your solution.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Since
you’re on a mission to make the
world a little better, going about
your business doesn’t feel like
a grind at all. In fact, the lines
between work and play are
blurred. You’re in your zone.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
In chess and in relationships,
the opening move is of utmost
importance. The endgame has
everything to do with it. Know-
ing that a story will play out like
bookends, you’ll be careful with
your open.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). A lifelong learner, you’re
never quite satisfied with your
current knowledge. The ben-
efits to developing your mind
will be made more obvious
when you spend time with
those who have developed
theirs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). After a week of feeling as
though your schedule owned
you, it will be a liberation of
sorts to own your time today.
Next up, owning all the events
that happen inside of it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Everyone is inclined to do what
comes naturally; nature is a
most persuasive force. But the
organic unfolding will clash
with a higher calling, and you
are better off doing the difficult,
uncomfortable thing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Shortcuts may get you to a
point within a certain time-
frame, but life’s lessons have
a way of demanding to be
learned. They can be skipped
in one moment, but sooner or
later, they will have their day.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
31). You’ll put great care into
organizing an orderly living
situation and positively winning
routines. This will give you a
platform on which to construct
your next success story. Those
who’ve tasted the honey of
success will inspire and teach
you as you work toward your
own sweet dreams. Scorpio and
Aquarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 5, 25, 22, 15 and 7.
