B3 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, AuguST 10, 2021 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2021 RHYMES WITH ORANGE ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will be up to you to cast a certain role. Avoid the comfort- able trap of merely filling the slot with someone you know. Choose the one with the right accomplishments to earn the position. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An adoring supporter will pay more attention to you than you’re used to receiving. This person either has a lot of heart or a lot of free time. Likely, both are true. B.C. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The balance of power is heavily weighted on one side of a re- lationship. There’s a better way to coexist. Conversations go better with a mediator. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are those who live in a palace and still feel poor inside. Wealth is not all about mon- ey. You’ll make heart-guided decisions to grow the riches that matter. DILBERT BIZARRO LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fear, worry and sadness are all teachers. Anger, jealousy and humiliation are even better teachers! Without negative emotions, we wouldn’t evolve very quickly — or possibly at all. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Rarely does beauty wave you down then make an undeni- able presentation. Instead, beauty is mysterious and makes itself available to those with the eye for it. In today’s case, beauty hides in plain sight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Life often meets your expectation. This is why you avoid seeing things as dire or less than op- timum. Truly, there is much to work with in your environment today. These strange condi- tions might even be ideal. NON SEQUITUR WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In a quiet moment, you may no- tice that you are missing some- one. Follow the pang — reach out and share. It will bring good fortune and, possibly, healing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re the boss. Keep it sim- ple and life will follow the order you set for it. Pick just one plan. Then, before you talk to anyone or make a move, envision how you want things to go down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Our weaknesses are our greatest advantages. How are we going to use them if we don’t know what they are? This is what makes the feedback of enemies, frenemies and the rude general public so extreme- ly valuable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If courage had form — if it could be heaped into mounds like gold or gathered up like blossoms — you’d see that you somehow have much more of it than can actually fit inside you. Use it indiscriminately. You’ve plenty! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The displacement you feel is likely the result of overthink- ing. No one will say your due diligence was lacking! After you’ve exhausted all reason, an intuitive logic will take over to quietly guide you home. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 12). You’ve a sense of being deeply rooted — of belonging to yourself wherever you are in the wide world. You’ll make changes to favor a lovelier and more stable lifestyle. Cupid is on your side and you’ll be taken with the people who not only love you back, but also help you make tangible life improve- ments. Libra and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 5, 7, 12 and 41.
