DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’re capable of great self-sacri-
fice, but why sign up for it unless
it’s totally necessary to the situ-
ation? Take the easy good times
when they are handed to you,
and live them guilt-free.
of minor joy than hold out for
payoffs in the far-flung future.
Big events will be wonderful
when they happen, but cultivate
pleasantries, too. For the most
part, happiness is sustained in
small daily rushes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You intimately know a game
because you’ve played it. When
you celebrate the winner, you
know exactly why. There’s
almost no glory in the trophy
because nearly all the glory is in
everything that comes before it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The experts and gurus may
have good information, but the
very best teacher by far is your
own personal history. Think
about what went so right and
what actions can be repeated to
continue the trend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be-
cause there’s no guarantee that
getting there will be any fun,
the journey is a test of character.
“Happiness is not a station you
arrive at but a manner of travel-
ing.” — Margaret Lee Runbeck
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Much will be lost due to pride,
arrogance and intolerance, but
not by you. While it brings you
no pleasure to benefit from the
failings of others, when justice
is served, you would be wise to
accept what’s rightfully yours.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Rushing leads to overindul-
gence. Moderation is more easily
achieved when you actually ap-
preciate the qualities of a thing.
Slow down and enjoy.
DILBERT
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once the
cards are properly shuffled and
dealt, there is nothing anyone
can do about which ones end
up in hand. The skill is in getting
behind anything you’re handed
and playing it with confidence.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Mark
Twain suggested, “In his private
heart, no man much respects
himself.” Give yourself a little
more love and credit today. Only
the delusional forget to struggle
with self-doubt.
BIZARRO
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
project is picking up momen-
tum, and there’s plenty of “if
they could see me now” energy
around you. But of course
“they” can see you, and they are
definitely impressed, though
perhaps not showing it yet.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Better to have frequent pops
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You believe in luck, flirt with it,
cultivate and conjure it. Even so,
you know better than to count
on it. You will work hard in the
knowledge that your sweat
will contribute to your good
luck when it happens to come
around.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Getting lost in series or book
is preferable now to real-life
drama, which is messy and
often comes with unpredictable,
uncontrollable and far-reaching
effects.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
25). As intangible and mys-
terious as love is, it’s hard to
love accurately, though easier
to love fully. You’ll give your
all in a variety of relationships
and reap benefits friendly and
financial, romantic and practi-
cal. An unachieved goal from
way back will circle around; this
year, the timing is much better.
Capricorn and Pisces adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 12, 2, 9,
3 and 13.
