RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Confusing communication is an
opportunity to sleuth your way
to the truth, or something close
to it. The story is an argument,
and the argument is a story.
move, and you’ll make it very
soon. Get ready. There’s an ele-
ment of self-discipline involved
in the ramp-up. You have it in
you. Get in motion and you’ll
find it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You are duty-bound, though
this is a loyalty of your own
making. You decided what was
required, and you will fulfill it.
An independent mission such
as this is the stuff of vitality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Decisiveness is attrac-
tive. Vacillation makes people
nervous. Sometimes you want
people to be nervous, but not
now. You’ll decide one way or
the other and take action; this
carries you into a happy mood.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your choices are clear. You can
either fall back asleep to dream
another dream, or you can get
out the pen and paper and
start hashing out the original
dream. Start with a to-do list.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
In a good relationship, there is
no such thing as a winner and
a loser. If one person is losing,
you both are. You have to be on
the same team or it won’t work.
DILBERT
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Not
everyone is bound to a civic
calendar. You’ll have to work
out scheduling, and the ins and
outs of school and business
will be considered. You’ll find a
way to fit in what’s important
to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Persistence often wins out.
Though tenacity is the hallmark
of many successful people,
most successful people also
know when to back off and let
the other person come for-
ward.
BIZARRO
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
know how to make yourself
useful, but if you make this
your default, you’ll only get,
well... used! You’re a person,
too. You deserve pleasure as
much as anyone. Your No. 1 re-
sponsibility is to enjoy yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’ve been considering a
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You have a passion for
understanding. This will not be
shared by 90% of the people
you know, yet you won’t be
lonely in it. Your curiosity is
mighty fine company.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Maybe it’s better not to ask
people what they meant by
something after the fact. So
much life goes by every hour.
Memory fails. Instead, be very
present in the moment of dis-
cernment, which is to say now,
always now.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You can pretend to be some-
one you’d like to be, but who
you really are is lovelier to the
right crowd. The right crowd
should include yourself. Self-ac-
ceptance is the supporter of all
change.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.
17). It’s one of your luckiest
years. You will put something
in the world that didn’t exist
before. You’ll turn up the heat
on your physical fitness goals.
Strength training that works
your body and mind will get
you ready for the opportunities
ahead. You’ll take achievement
over comfort and stretch into
a new role. Scorpio and Taurus
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 2, 24, 30, 1 and 6.
