DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
It’s not too much to ask for a
bit of glamour out of life, your
experiences, your environment.
Although, in all likelihood, today
you’ll end up creating it some
way on your own.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Thoughts don’t drive the car.
You’ll go where your body takes
you. So how can you get your
body to do the things your mind
thinks are a good idea? Seek new
techniques for wrangling your
inner animal.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If
every human belief system is
fundamentally flawed, then it’s a
waste of time to look for the one
that isn’t. Find a good-enough
fit, with ideas you can stand be-
hind, and do the most good you
possibly can from that place.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peo-
ple have a similar relationship
with themselves as they do with
others. Acceptance is the main
work to be done in both cases. If
you are having trouble accepting
yourself, try accepting someone
else — and vice versa.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
go far with your project on this
day, when your energy is steady
and your focus is consistent.
There will also be brief bursts of
intense emotion to help you go
at your purpose harder and with
brilliant results.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
don’t have to put your hands
on anything to change it now.
You can count on things to obey
their nature to good effect. Like
the moon, you will influence
from afar just by making your
regular rounds.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
People know you’re fair, but right
now, you’re hoping you won’t
have to be the judge. You’re
powerful now, so even your
most innocuous opinions could
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
have unintended influence.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If
you feel distant from a person,
you are less likely to care about
whether or not your actions
please them. Is it a consolation
to you that it’s your closeness
that makes you care?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll take a look around
and realize that this isn’t quite
what you had planned. On the
other hand, some of it is much
better. And of much of the rest,
it could be said, “This is the good
life.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ve been going at it too
fast. Take it down 10 notches
in the manner of someone
walking onto the scene in that
slow-motion effect that always
makes people look so cool in the
movies.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Whether driving, playing video
games or navigating a fun night,
you try not to grip the con-
trols too hard, as it would limit
your range and lengthen your
response time. You’ll stay flexible
and ready for anything.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Patterns establish themselves.
Experience is the best teacher in
this regard. Most wouldn’t know
how to get ahead of it, but you
see options that allow you to
figure out how you want it to go
before it even starts.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
16). Your cosmic gift is spatial
balance, which is the key to
creating beauty in many art
forms, including the art of good
relationships, lovely environ-
ments and successful businesses.
While gambling isn’t advised, a
well-researched plan involving
a degree of risk will pay off with
an influx of resources. Taurus and
Capricorn adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 5, 33, 31, 3 and 28.
