DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’ll pick up a new skill. There’s
no luck involved here — only
well-directed attention. Imitate
the master. Follow directions,
then practice until you own it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You have choices to make and
actions to take on your way to
solving a problem. If you con-
sult everyone along the way,
it will get complicated. Better
to ask for forgiveness than
permission.
B.C.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Un-
less you’re getting paid for your
opinion, there’s no need to of-
fer criticism. Don’t take offense
where none was given. Follow
these two rules and you’ll grow
in power and influence.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
People will express themselves
in confusing ways. You’ll feel as
though you’re watching an art
film — creatively inspired as
you try to piece together the
meaning.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To
avoid being a target for the
slings of other people’s jealousy
and the arrows of their insecu-
rity, don’t display your talents
too broadly. Choose your audi-
ence carefully and show them
just enough.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Even though all people are cre-
ated equal, it would be perilous
to ignore — and auspicious to
respect — the status structures
by which the tribe of humanity
operates.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Gather the pertinent informa-
tion. There’s much going on
inside the minds of others that
won’t be verbalized, though
with sensitivity, you can pick up
on it and respond accordingly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Mistakes were made. Enough
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
time has passed for feelings
to cool and settle. The world is
full of second chances, which
generally go to those with the
guts to ask for them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). No one understands the
issue as well as you do. Explain
to people who have reason to
care. Matching your message
to the audience is an art. If you
don’t get it right, keep trying.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Relationships change
form though the love itself is
neither the same nor different.
There’s a blossoming when the
conditions invite openness and,
under colder conditions, the
relationship folds into itself and
waits.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You organize like a pro, prior-
itize like a genius and quickly
understand what it will take to
get to the goal. These talents of
yours are highly sought after —
though most pleasingly applied
to your own projects.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Don’t shrink from an intimidat-
ing challenge. Gather informa-
tion instead. When you under-
stand the nature of a thing, it
will liberate you from your fear
of it. You’ll feel empowered to
interact and gain higher levels
of experience.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
9). You’ll extend your love with
gusto, creating a powerfully
charged atmosphere in which
all around you will thrive. You’ll
realize your team is shy a few
members. You’ll put an attrac-
tive energy into the world and
quickly build something beau-
tiful. Fall sees you effectively
promoting and selling on a
large scale. Taurus and Aquarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 26, 2, 36, 14 and 5.
