DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). As
long as you’re going to have
ideas about yourself, you may
as well focus on the ones that
contribute to your happiness
and confidence. Let the nega-
tive, disempowering stuff go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
It is natural to pick up man-
nerisms, sayings and attitudes
from people you admire. Some-
times you do this unconscious-
ly, but right now you benefit
from consciously picking and
choosing what you want to
adopt.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Matters of taste come up. Don’t
think about things in terms
of what’s good or bad, rather
consider what’s working better
or worse. You will sharpen your
awareness by studying effec-
tiveness.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Take a break. Ideas won’t come
to a stressed-out mind. What
would it take for you to be
more at ease? Make yourself
comfortable, as that’s half the
work.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
interactions do not have to be
serious to matter. To show up in
a casual, lighthearted way will
be a gift to others. A beautiful
thing to add to the mix — levi-
ty, buoyancy, a wink or a giggle.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There’s something you need to
“ship,” at least metaphorically. It
will require organization to pull
off — not because it’s difficult
but because it’s so easy that its
importance could go over-
looked.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll
act as a project manager of
sorts. You’ll determine what has
been done and what still needs
doing. You’ll make course cor-
rections and plan for the next
checkpoint.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Being involved with yourself
isn’t inherently bad. In fact, you
could use more of it. You are
the only one who can keep an
eye on your inner world and
therefore it is your sole respon-
sibility to do so.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Worry has value, but a
little goes a long way. Let your
worry lead you to action. And if
that action is simply to distract
yourself from worry, it’s still a
plus!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Motivated by a juicy goal, you’ll
go full speed ahead, passing
competitors, temptations
and distractions. To pause to
ponder or chat would spoil the
delicious momentum.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You get to call the shots
today. It begins when you say
it begins and ends when you
say it’s over. Power is fleeting,
so enjoy it while you’re in it and
use it well, tending to what you
deem important.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’re thoughtful and will offer
up symbols of your affec-
tion and appreciation. These
tangible tokens will serve as
touchstone reminders of the
intangible generosity you
deliver on the regular.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.
1). You’ll invent a new order
for life and love. Certain things
that have taken your time and
energy didn’t give back, and
now you’ll set the balance
straight. By placing your efforts
in more fertile areas, your
world bursts into blossoms.
New resources open up to
you and you’ll do something
extraordinary with them. Aries
and Scorpio adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 22, 14
and 9.
