DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Though you’d like to think
you’re even-tempered, you’re
sometimes prone to passionate
flare-ups. Intensity isn’t always
bad. These emotions can be like
a cleansing by fire.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You can’t do everything
yourself; however, you will be
empowered by solo work this
weekend. The fewer people in-
volved, the better your project
will turn out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You feel like the truth’s ambas-
sador. As the Billy Joel song
goes, “honesty is such a lonely
word.” Don’t worry; after you
speak to the reality of the situa-
tion, others will join in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). In love and art, it’s often
what you leave out that makes
people lean in. When in doubt,
leave space for people to fill
with their imaginations.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s
good to take action, but it’s not
enough. Taking action repeat-
edly and consistently is the way
to success. Make it easy. Adjust
your schedule and environment
to support not only this step
but the next one and the next.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The social demands of the
day happen to be perfectly
in line with what you love to
deliver. Even so, after all the
excitement, you’ll need time to
recharge in solitude.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Instead
of fixing what’s broken, focus
on what’s working. As you max-
imize the potential of what’s al-
ready going right in your world,
you’ll create brilliance enough
to overshadow the rest.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’re still figuring out how
to put yourself forth so that
people understand who you
are. As you relate to more
people, you’ll find what does
and doesn’t work. Commit to
the process and expect to make
mistakes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
give. If their response is not ap-
preciative, you stop giving. If it
seems your gift is appreciated,
you give more, thus increas-
ing both your power and your
responsibilities.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Your powers of observation
are dialed in to the degree that
it almost seems like you can
read certain people’s thoughts.
Group dynamics will be espe-
cially interesting to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Conflict-free collaborations are
easiest, but don’t always bring
about the best result. You’ll
learn more from the person
who disagrees. Ask them to
shoot down your plan and
you’ll learn how to make it
bulletproof.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Love and attraction live in two
different parts of the brain,
but both areas will light up
at the same time today when
you connect with an attractive
someone on matters of mutual
interest.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.
15). This year you’ll know
what it’s like to be a free spirit,
to feel as though your heart
has wings that allow your
relationships to soar with the
eagles. Social contacts lead to
bigger earnings. An important
renovation project will take
months of your time, but you’ll
get to make things your own
from the bottom up. Libra and
Pisces adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 6, 30, 11, 28 and
8.
