HOROSCOPE

RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ev-
ery relationship started out as a
relationship of strangers. In light
of this, give yourself credit for all
you’ve helped to build, and have
faith in your ability to continue
developing your network.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There is a destination you have
returned to time and again, as
though all roads eventually lead
you there. This place could exist
in the heart of another. You will
find yourself there once more.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Humor will relate to the scale
of things. Because you see the
world as much bigger and wider
than your own problems, you
also see what’s funny about your
current situation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Something hangs in the
balance. A decision will be
made, and it’s out of your
hands. You care what happens,
but you also get the sense that
it doesn’t matter, as you’ll make
the best whichever way this
goes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
take on the confusion around
certain topics as a personal chal-
lenge. You will work out bits of
the problem, play around with
concepts, tease out the truth,
test results... and grow powerful-
ly smart in the process.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Objectivity is crucial to your
decision-making. You are told
what to think, but because you
know how to think, you will not
believe everything you’re given,
even when it is handed to you
by people you respect.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Relation-
ships come with responsibility.
The deeper the relationship, the
more time and effort it takes.
You can have a casual bond with
many, but there is only enough
time in a day for a few very close
relationships.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Con-
sider that you may be expend-
ing way more energy than you
need to. You have much that’s
worthy of being pursued, but
you won’t know this until you
stop chasing and let the oppor-
tunities come to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
friends who need you will not be
able to return favors for a while,
not that you care. Giving is its
own gift, and it makes you feel
so good to do it. You’ll catch the
good vibes from another source.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll step back and look at the
scene with an eye to the over-
riding values that guide you
through the situation. Tenacity
and gratitude in particular will
serve you well.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You bring a unique brand of
joy to someone, which can’t be
duplicated. Sometimes they
take it for granted, but right
now, the time you spend with
a loved one will be received as
the precious gift it is.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
To build is to think in three
dimensions. The optimal
thought exercise is to put a
plan into physical form. Expect
mistakes. You’ll burn through
some resources, too, but it will
be worth it!
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
23). You’ll finally get the space
to concentrate fully on the
project near to your heart, and
the breakthroughs happen fast,
lifting your work to new levels.
You’ll annoy your friends by
looking and feeling younger
than you did last year. In 2022,
you’ll glow up your domestic
scene. Relationships come with
a wallop of glamour. Aries and
Capricorn adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 6, 10, 4, 44 and 28.
