B3 THE ASTORIAN • SATuRdAy, SEpTEmbER 18, 2021 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 RHYMES WITH ORANGE ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because you focus on something doesn’t mean you understand it. Take your focus off of the thing that’s baffling you. That’s when the insights will come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll check a goal off your list, but your broader aspiration to give something unique to your people is never quite complet- ed. This drive to create beautiful experiences for others will keep you inspired, motivated and vital. B.C. DILBERT BIZARRO WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a gift for work- ing through conflict, and the initiative to step up to challenge. You’ll apply these valuable assets in an array of ways in the weeks to come. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know your preferences, so you also know their fickleness. You came by them randomly, and under other conditions, you could just as easily enjoy something else. An open mind is more easily amused. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People feel emboldened to stretch and learn around you. The proof of this is in the mistakes they make. In a way, each mistake is evidence of the vitality of your connection. The question is: How many is too many? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your favorite people tend to delight you regardless of the circumstance. Friends and family will cause heart-fortifying incon- veniences. You’ll enjoy the ways they put you out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you think, “There has to be a better way ... “ you are in fact getting a nudge of intu- ition worth investigating. If there wasn’t a better way, you wouldn’t have had that feeling. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What makes you so wonderfully entertaining is the wide range of reactive modes in your arsenal. You’re just as adept at being gra- cious, humble and understated as you are at showing off. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Revamp your spending plan. Or, if you’re like many Cancers right now, the plan wasn’t “vamped” to begin with. Now is your chance. What you come up with, you’ll stick to. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve watched from the side- lines long enough; hop into the game. You have everything it takes to make a contribution to the action. They need you more than you realize. MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (SEPT. 20). Exciting challenges take your life to new heights. If the call comes off like a burdensome demand, either you misunder- stand it or someone is asking way too much of you. Mountains invite you to climb them, not carry them. Fun is your destiny. You get along with everyone and bring together interesting company. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 33, 10, 28 and 5. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re so aware of your surroundings that it’s hard to know what to zoom in on. Trust that it’s a better position to be in than the more comfortable obliviousness so many of your peers enjoy. NON SEQUITUR SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take your time making a choice. Choosing wisely is the most time-efficient action. With the right decision, you can hit the ground running. There’s nothing to work out, and the mainte- nance fits your lifestyle.
