BLONDIE
DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
don’t have to try to be different;
your uniqueness is innate. You
don’t have to try to be the same
either; you have all the com-
monalities necessary to belong.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ll be a gamemaster of sorts.
You have a knack for dreaming
up creative challenges. If there’s
a simple setup and a clear goal,
people will compete for the
prize.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your internal clock goes elastic,
causing you to be in your own
time zone. Some things are
sped up, some take forever
— and because of this, being
punctual takes real effort but is
so worth it!
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ve seen people do un-
predictable things out of fear,
so you go out of your way to
make others comfortable, allay
doubts and assuage worries. As
a result, you’ll project the future
of the relationship with greater
accuracy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
working on a co-creation. How
people treat each other affects
the progress and development
of the project. A successful out-
come will be the ultimate sign
of group health.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your interpretation of a subject
is also a subject. How you see
things is how you see you. And
there’s no action you can take
now that won’t point to what’s
on your heart.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’re preoccupied with playing
out hypothetical conversations
in your head. These mental
negotiations, arguments and
investigations will help you gear
up for real-life scenarios of the
future.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Some of your experiences are
like a concentrated spice: essen-
tial to the dish, but a dash goes
a long way. These more intense
flavors of life are best mixed into
the fullness of many mundane
activities.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Four excruciating words will
be uttered: “Not yet, but soon.”
Since the waiting is indeed the
hardest part, don’t wait. Make
sure your spot is being held and
go do something else.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The challenge is to focus on
how things are, not how they
were. As you interact with things
in real time, you find certain
regrets breaking off and drifting
ever further away.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The snack between meals can
contain more calories than
the meal. The parking can cost
more than the event. The casual
mention in party conversation
can impact more than the entire
celebration.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’ll learn what you need to
know with casual observation
and indirect questioning. Tip:
The question that causes people
to hesitate, fidget or laugh is too
direct and will also cause them
to hide the truth.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.
27). You’ll thrive on a balance of
structure and spontaneity, which
comes effortlessly. The loads of
love heaped on you are well-de-
served, not because you racked
up the good karma in the past
(you did, but that’s beside the
point ...) You were always worthy
of the sweetest the world has to
offer. Let yourself have more of
it. Virgo and Sagittarius adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 9,
44, 43, 27 and 17.
