DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The new you will sail into the
world on a plan. Think far
ahead and then work back-
ward to determine the steps it
will take to get there. Imagine
what you might like to en-
counter along the way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
If the fun event isn’t there, in-
vent it. You need something to
look forward to. Anticipation
of delight makes the whole
day go better. Hard tasks get
easier; easy ones are quickly
completed.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
No one will give you time
for things like self-reflection,
hobbies and just decompress-
ing. That’s the kind of time
you’ll have to make, steal or
carve out. Once you do, you’ll
need to protect and honor the
appointment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There are some sorts of trou-
ble that squarely fall into a
“luxury” category. When you
were younger, you looked up
to people with such quality
problems. There’s a strange
satisfaction in today’s inconve-
nience.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While
it’s easier to start something
new from scratch than it is to
alter an existing relationship,
some relationships are worth
the extra work. People can
change, and when they do,
their relationships change too.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Don’t let unexpected turns de-
ter you. Think of this as a test.
Don’t hesitate or wonder. Like
a cowboy breaking in a new
horse, once thrown you get
right back in the saddle.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Small gestures and casual talk
will teach you who a person is.
You’re an astute listener and
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
will learn the most through
conversations about nothing
in particular.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
It’s too awkward to wrestle
with what’s out of reach, so
get closer. What will it take to
get in the game? If you need
to train longer or harder, this
match will be worth the effort.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re no victim. If any-
thing, you’re the hero. Head
for a change of scenery. A new
environment will require you
to take on a different role.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). It’s about time you were
spoiled rotten. And if there is
no one around to do some-
thing nice for you, make sure
to do something nice for
yourself, and others will catch
on soon thereafter.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Someone is getting increas-
ingly attached to you. If you’d
like to change an aspect of the
relationship, this is the time to
do it while you’re still learning
each other.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
For the sake of mystery, you
don’t always tell people your
plans or your whereabouts.
Also, isn’t it privileged infor-
mation? Let people earn their
place on your inside track.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec.
16). You’re channeling muses
of organization and you’ve a
checklist of things you want
to accomplish. You’ll hit many,
miss a few and along the way
stumble into scenarios that
make you deeper and more
exceptional than any list-
worthy qualification could.
You’re a networking genius
and relationships will lead to
work. Gemini and Taurus adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 3,
33, 19, 44 and 28.
