B3 THE ASTORIAN • THuRSdAy, dEcEmbER 23, 2021 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2021 RHYMES WITH ORANGE B.C. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll put something togeth- er — a puzzle, the clues in a mystery, two people you think should know each other. The assembly you manage will be fantastically lucky. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll get requests that seem for- ward, but it’s only because you are so comfortable to be around. Your lack of pretense makes people feel they know you bet- ter than they actually do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll instigate the fun. You’ll address the challenges of the day by taking initiative, showing drive and fleshing out the details of your imagination to great effect. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your cosmic gift is easy social rapport. Focusing on the needs and wants of others takes the pressure off of you — no need to come up with an agen- da, and you’ll enjoy the results more than anyone. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Thinking about the future can be much more pleasurable than the reality you find when you get there. All the more reason to indulge in the pleasure of dreaming. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s joy in going along for the ride. Giving in to the decisions of others will bring surprises and fun. Tonight, dollars will not be the currency that buys the good stuff. DILBERT BIZARRO LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll want to control the experience you’re about to have, but it’s pre- cisely your lack of control over it that will make it fun. Tonight, you’ll reveal something about yourself in a comfortable, open environment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re respected. You will say what others have said before and get a completely different reaction. People want to act on your ideas because of who you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You expect much of yourself, and you’re capable of delivering on those expectations. The team will help, and you will also help the team — so much so that by the end of the day, your own agenda will be a distant memory. NON SEQUITUR WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mind holds expansive vi- sions and you’ve been dreaming a little bigger and more colorful, too. It is now possible to bring your fantasies into a real-world scenario. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be casting someone for a role. The one who is best for a job may defy the typical criteria. You’ll make wise decisions with sound reasoning behind them, though even you may not fully understand what the reasons are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Despite all you’ve experienced you still have the hope of the innocent and the faith of the uninitiated. Because you see life as precious, wondrous and beautiful, others around you see it that way too. SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 25). As part of a tight group, you’ll know a side of life many never will. Entranced and fasci- nated, you’ll find the danger in beauty and the beauty in dan- ger. Create solid daily balance; the thrills happen intermittently on their own schedule. Financial luck and hard work go hand in hand, giving you more leeway. Gemini and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 20, 11, 40 and 15.
