BLONDIE
DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You accept responsibility for
the way things unfold in your
life. Even when you didn’t
cause events, you look at how
you might have influenced or
allowed them to happen.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
“All’s fair in love” they say, but
how could it possibly be? Even
if it’s mostly fair in love, civility
still goes a long way. You can
override bad form with good
manners.
B.C.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Do what it takes to bolster
your self-esteem. It would be
a shame to reject the abun-
dance of this day out of a
feeling of unworthiness. You’re
deserving of all this love and
more.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’re open-minded, intel-
lectually flexible and willing
to question your ideology.
Consider that whatever you
believe, the opposite belief
could also be true.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Leave
strategizing the end game
to the chess masters. It’s a
projection that won’t help you
too much now. The problem
with the next moment is that
you can’t live it, so stay in this
one — the only one you have
real power in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
As the sign that rules natural
growth, you’re patient with
the time it takes to develop.
There are those who seem to
plant the seed in the ground
and then dig it up every few
hours to see how it’s doing.
Teach them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A
special relationship demands
heart and soul. Your willing-
ness to be uncomfortable is,
at the end of the day, what
makes the commitment heroic.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Clear communication is a
cornerstone of respectful
interactions. The problem is we
all communicate differently. Be
patient and receptive. It helps to
lead with a belief that others are
well-intended.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Since it is unkind to tempt
the weak or push painfully into
tender spots, you’re careful to
learn more about people before
you get too forward with your
playfulness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There’s a thread running
through this pattern. You may
get glimpses of it, or perhaps
you won’t see it at all right now,
but stay open and aware. Later,
you’ll be able to follow it, and all
will make sense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Do you really know when you’re
satisfied? A storm of thoughts
and feelings could interfere with
the signal. The voice of satisfac-
tion can be so mild. Instead of
trying to hear through noise, get
calm.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Getting intimate knowledge of a
tool is not really high on your list
of fun things to take on. You’d
rather focus on the job itself!
And yet, taking the time to mas-
ter your tools now will ultimately
save you time.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
18). These are the days of
wonder, of tender loving care, of
sweet arrivals. Your ever-evolv-
ing sense of humor will have you
sailing through a tricky dynam-
ic. The togetherness of your
growing family will be a source
of soul fortification. It will be
extraordinarily lucky to make a
hobby, talent or interest a higher
priority. Capricorn and Gemini
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 10, 4, 44, 13 and 5.
