DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Your progress will inspire oth-
ers. But if you devolve instead,
that will, in time, be inspiring,
too ... just as long as you don’t
give up. The difference be-
tween a comedy and a tragedy
is where you end the story.
time for delight?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Even though you like a degree
of bustle and noise around you,
you also require serenity to
thrive. You’re super productive
as a result of getting different
distinct moods into your day.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You give interactions your
own personal touch. If you
knew you’d be celebrated and
remembered for this, would
you take it one step further? Or
perhaps three?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your cheerful attitude is in-
fectious and attractive to the
likeminded. You’ll have inter-
esting conversations and pick
up fun facts and helpful social
information to connect you to
new prospects.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You appreciate and attract
those with an enthusiasm for
turning life into fiction. This is
much better than listening to
someone complain on and on
about a dull reality.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You expect people to spin their
stories to the most flattering
effect and will be caught off
guard by more honest types
who would rather connect with
you in their vulnerability than
try to impress you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is
no true fulfillment in conquest
or winning the games of love.
There may be momentary exhil-
aration and ego inflation, which
is not the same as the whole-
ness experienced in healthy
reciprocal connections.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Swimming against the current,
you will stay in one place at
best; at worst, you regress and
tire yourself out in the process.
This flow is too strong. For now,
go with it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
When you’re doing what you
must, it seems to take forever.
Meanwhile, you feel like you
have to steal your brief mo-
ments of pleasure. Is it possible
to give yourself much more
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The relationship has gotten
vague, imperfect, unreliable
and full of paradoxes. In other
words, it is in a good place — a
place where anything can still
happen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You would dispel the mystery
if it weren’t so fun to watch
people try and figure it out.
Actually, transparency would
only ruin the fun. What if you
kept the secret forever?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’ve earned the trust that
comes with doing what you
say you will, at times knock-
ing yourself out to keep the
agreement. Now you know to
limit your commitments to only
what you can handle with ease
and pleasure.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
9). You live alongside others,
but you don’t live for them. The
adoring eyes of loved ones will
sparkle up your days, though
the path is illuminated by
something coming from inside
you — an inner drive and clear
purpose to give society some-
thing unique. After your move
in January, you’ll be getting
around in style. Sagittarius and
Libra adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 30, 12, 20, 6 and
4.
