DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2021
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
wouldn’t mind things staying
the way they are for a while.
There’s comfort in knowing
what’s likely to happen next.
You’ll pick the option that makes
you feel relaxed and secure.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
There’s an important conversa-
tion on the horizon. Think of it
as an interview, as it will dictate
the future of a relationship. To
prepare, consider the best way
to talk about and highlight your
strengths.
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Being completely engaged in
an endeavor produces a state
of flow powerful enough to
dissolve negative emotions,
stave off hunger and delay the
need for sleep. The longer you
can stay in flow, the happier
you’ll be.
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your sharp wit delights
people and makes them feel
safe. You’ll notice what’s going
on and your comments are
on-point. Among your many
attractive qualities is your ability
to live in the moment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Things seem out of order. There
will be advance praise and more
oddly, hope for the past. Expec-
tations sent backward won’t
change what happened, but it
can change how the story is told.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
one who helps you isn’t waiting
for acknowledgement, however
if that help goes on for a while
without recognition, it won’t
last. Your enthusiasm will be
someone’s sweet reward.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You have a talent for seeing past
your own anxieties and into a
deeper empathy with others
in the world, an exercise in
perspective that brings ease in
when you need it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
apply diligence to finish a job
before the day is done. And if
you also apply some laziness,
you’ll likely think of the smartest
and most painless way to get it
done.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Your heart is not an uncharted
sea — it’s been charted. The
map is tested and it’s sound. You
know where you are and where
you’re going. Still, the experience
of it can be disorienting. Keep an
eye trained to your lodestar.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The way you view people will
impact your experience. Lean
into sunshine, trust and positiv-
ity. Because whatever you think
of people, they will prove you
right.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What
you now think of as a need will
soon be reduced to a want or a
mere preference. Realizing that
you can happily get by with
much less will liberate you and
make room for interesting new
developments.
NON SEQUITUR
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Simple measures like backing
up your work will go a long way
toward giving you a sense of
security. It’s not because you
think things will go wrong, it’s
because you’re more confident
when you know your bases are
covered.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec.
23). You’ll wield well the pow-
erful magnetic force called ex-
pectation. Anticipate felicity in a
wide range of forms. You’ll know
it when you feel it. You will be
the recipient of much amorous
attention. You’ll have some-
thing to teach in a methodical,
organized way. Loved ones will
blossom under your tutelage.
Aquarius and Pisces adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 9, 10,
22, 24 and 28.
