DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Laughter, triviality and other
underrated delights are in store.
Take note of the people who
tend to bring out the lightness
in others, as they are the ones to
keep close.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
As a goal, happiness is loosely
definable and hardly quantifi-
able, but it’s a worthy aim all the
same. But if you’re not happy, all
the other definable quantities
matter very little to you.
B.C.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
People want to spend time
with you, perhaps as houseg-
uests. You’re comfortable to be
around, and the cozy environ-
ments you create reflect this so
well.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll stumble across a hot tip
or excellent advice, though
it’s roughly delivered. It may
even sound like a warning or a
criticism, but you can hear past
that to the golden suggestion
under it all.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you’re
uncertain and you show it, oth-
ers will take hold of the situa-
tion. If you’re uncertain and you
act like you know what you’re
doing, they’ll believe it. You
don’t have to know every step in
the plan — just the next one.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
can remember both the positive
and the negative about a situa-
tion. You can see it a few differ-
ent ways and feel the complex
mix of associated emotions. This
gives you options that a more
limited person doesn’t have.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
don’t want to shake confidenc-
es or offend egos, but you’re
not sure who to trust. Knowing
more will help you make a de-
cision. Ask your questions. Only
those with something to hide
will be upset by them.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
No relationship is all one tone.
Every relationship comes with
mixed feelings. Things can be
sorted out. Confusion can be
worked through, or you can just
wait to see where things settle
in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). A special relationship
comes into focus. For now,
forget about passion, which is
a temporary intensity you can
come back to later. Start with
compassion, and see where that
leads.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Stop and consider the miles of
life experiences you’ve jour-
neyed. It’s impressive, even to
you! It’s OK to quietly acknowl-
edge yourself, as a friend would.
Befriending yourself is essential
to your well-being.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You don’t need everything
around you to be orderly in
order to see how you fit into it.
In fact, you’ll thrive on a taste of
chaos and see at once how you
can use the energy to further a
goal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Partnerships in which no one
confronts the other are bound
to be less honest. Into every
relationship, a little conflict must
fall. Let the love in your heart
coat the words on your lips.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
4). The area of life you found
so difficult to reign in will fall
under your steady hand. Your
power grows. You direct the
scene. You tame wild forces and
apply them to building better
relationships and more options
for you and your loved ones.
You’ll meet collaborators and
mentors at the turn of the year.
Scorpio and Aquarius adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11,
44, 38 and 16.
