A7 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, NOvEmbER 16, 2021 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2021 RHYMES WITH ORANGE ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life isn’t a popularity contest, but if it were, you would win the day. You have what people are looking for and you’re willing to share it. A burden is eased. You’ll get a surge of self-control. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Like getting hooked on a song, or falling in love, some happen- ings are too quirky to explain. The explanation is unnecessary to those who already know, and ineffective to those who don’t. B.C. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Trust your instincts. It saves time. As you explore what cap- tures your interest and quickly move past what doesn’t, your talent is honed. Your work be- comes more infused with what is essentially you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A task has fallen through the cracks and the consequences for missing it have been largely unnoticeable. This is a gift! Now you can spend your time on things that make a difference. DILBERT BIZARRO LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in a position of leadership. Com- munication errors abound now, so keep your messages simple. The integrity you bring to your endeavors speaks louder than words ever could. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feelings can be bossy. They want to be acted on, so they can come on strong. But feel- ings can also be fickle, unwise and selfishly motivated. Make your feelings prove their worthi- ness. Make them earn their way into action. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll test the relationship waters. You’re subtle and cool. You suggest things without directly stating them. Your implications get picked up by the socially savvy and missed sometimes too. NON SEQUITUR WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re too impatient to be slow and steady today. Besides, you feel like you’ve already taken that route and are ready for something more exciting. Take off running and you’ll get your wish. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The difference between the extraordinary and the ordinary is the “extra.” It’s why you do more than what’s expected of you until doing more is the new normal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relationships should be give- and-take. If you never seem to be on the receiving end, you have to wonder if you’re choos- ing people who are a good fit. Dedicate your energy where it will be appreciated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Beauty rest” is real in the sense that the more energy you have, the more attractive you are. You’ll make adjustments to improve and protect your most valuable healing time — the time between sheets. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As you decide how to engage with the world, not engaging is also a solid option. An unstimulating and distraction-free environ- ment brings you peace, mental freedom and ultimately more creativity on the other side. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 18). What works on a small scale will make you money on a large scale. Funding is less important than a good plan. You’ll get help bringing things to the next level. Relationships contribute to your creativity. What used to baffle you will finally make sense and the clarity allows you to build something beautiful. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 50, 32, 17 and 28.
