DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Keep repeating the action that’s
going so well for you until you
can do it no longer. Like the
weightlifter who works the
muscle until it fails, you will see
results not despite that last ex-
hausted effort but because of it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Long-lasting friendships are
important to you, so you’ll make
extra efforts, especially when
life pulls you and a friend in
opposing directions. You’ll find
new parallels and commonalities
that help you stay on the same
wavelength.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’re like a divining rod for hot
spots, so you mostly end up
where the fun is. But even the
most skilled diviners sometimes
come up dry. In that case, your
best bet is to cut out early and
keep looking.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
While some would use charm as
a manipulation, you employ your
charisma for the sole purpose of
stirring up the playful energies of
delight, without which existence
would be dull indeed!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even
though your leadership is
typically sound, right now you’ll
be more comfortable without
followers. This path is new. You’ll
be more adventurous when you
know you’re the only one affect-
ed by your choices.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Meditation and mantras are not
for everyone. In a way, whatever
you do to feel more like yourself
is your spiritual practice. Repeti-
tion with reverence is one key to
making it a ritual.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re
willing to slog it out until the
bitter end, but what if the end
isn’t bitter? You just may slog it
out to a savory end or a sweet
one. In any case, definitely do
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
slog it out, because the end will
be worth it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Now it is effortless for you to
maintain the steady flow of
supportive communication that
facilitates good relationships,
but this is only because you
worked at the skill. Others might
need some time to catch up.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You may not be sure where
to set your sights. You want to
stretch yourself, and you’re not
afraid to fail, but you’d rather not
reach for something that doesn’t
exist. Ask around to find out
what’s possible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Who you are in the bigger view
of society is not who you really
are, and yet it does influence
how you feel about yourself to a
degree. You are in charge of the
degree. Dial it down.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You think you know your
function within a group, but
your notion of this is limited to
how you see yourself. The others
have their own view of you, and
in some instances, it is greatly
expanded from yours.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The rules have changed many
times over the last few years, and
they’ll change once more today.
Even so, the values and princi-
ples that guide you will remain
steadfast through the ages.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
16). The sparkle of charisma you
ride through the year sparks
many a lucky interaction. Your
phone buzzes, and your calendar
fills with engagements, both lu-
crative and friendly. Love deep-
ens as you alternate between
making sacrifices and allowing
others to rise to the occasion to
give to you. Libra and Sagittarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 4, 2, 22, 18 and 38.
