BLONDIE
DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
now know much more than you
did when you made a certain
decision. Your new opportu-
nity to do things differently is
coming, so this is a good time to
visualize yourself making new
choices.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Love gets referred to as a game,
but what happens in so-called
games of love is more about
social maneuvering, knowledge
of human nature and flexing as-
sets than it is about love. Don’t
overthink the move; follow your
heart.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be-
fore you lament a flaw, consider
that shortcomings are usually
entwined with interesting
talents, remarkable stories and
facets of personality most relat-
able. A flaw can be an exciting
asset.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Relationships are not a work
of lone architecture; they are
always built by a crew. Note the
influence of family, friends and
culture on your ties. The people
next to your relationship are
part of the relationship, too.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As you
try to dream big, you might be
surprised at how difficult it is to
put your head into a fun, crazy
fantasy. It’s as though before
you can even imagine it, your
mind is working out the practi-
calities of bringing it to life.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be
kind to you. Don’t make unrea-
sonable demands of yourself.
Give yourself one thing to do at
a time. Bonus points for signing
yourself up for tasks that in-
clude at least a little pleasurable
indulgence!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’ll be made aware that some
things are so easy to do and
nearly impossible to undo. Like
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
you can’t reverse-pour dressing
on a salad, you can’t take back
words once you’ve said them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You can still have a good
relationship with someone you
don’t have much in common
with, as long as you get straight
to work creating things in
common. It’s a fine excuse to
embark on shared adventures,
interests and pursuits.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). In a perfect world, the bo-
nus would come when the work
deserves more compensation.
But in this world, the bonus will
come when the bestower has
the means to offer more.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Sometimes it’s appropriate,
or even crucial, to give until it
hurts. However, right now it’s
best to give comfortably and let
others contribute in the same
spirit.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’re having to work pretty
hard for the “free” stuff. Consider
forgoing the complimentary
whatnot and paying for what
you really want instead.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
This is a test; this is only a test. It
will seem that you’re getting no
help at all but going it alone for
a stretch will show impressive
gumption and attract just the
help you need.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec.
18). New habits and lifestyle
transformations will happen!
The work isn’t glamorous, but
the results really are. Your finan-
cial horizons will broaden as you
learn a new skill. Expect a steady
climb. Have tenacity. Also, the
resource you most need, over
money or sway, is wise guid-
ance. Seek these things and you
will win. Scorpio and Leo adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 10,
4, 33, 18 and 49.
