DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
reasons are not immediately ob-
vious, but upon reflection you’ll
realize you have much to be
merry about. Indeed, celebration
is in order. Let friends in on your
good fortune. Joy multiplies
when you divide it among them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your home is more than just
a place to live; it is also an
investment in your future. You’ll
continue to add value to this in-
vestment in the weeks to come.
Decisions hang in the balance.
Those close to you will advise
you well.

DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There’s no shame in your game.
You don’t take anything per-
sonally. It’s about learning, not
about looking good in front of
others. A lack of self-conscious-
ness will allow you to gain useful
skills quickly.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s
just simple math, nothing com-
plicated. Double your chances of
winning by playing twice. You’re
bound to hit a jackpot sooner
or later if you keep playing. In
today’s case, the game is love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A glori-
ously built ship can be rugged
enough to sail rough seas for
decades but let enough water
in and it will sink. Human minds
are similar vessels. Keep nega-
tivity out, lest it drag you to the
ocean’s bottom.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
What’s more annoying than a
person who knows more about
your subject of expertise than
you do? Answer: Someone who
revels in it. Keep this in mind the
next time you’re in the opposite
position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As
with water, these elements
cannot be casually inhaled. You
must understand the danger to
experience the beauty. Protect

yourself. Take a deep breath
before your immersion.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
People either make improve-
ments or they make excuses.
Whenever you find yourself
making an excuse, stop and
seize the opportunity for rapid
growth. Humility is the key. You’ll
put your ego aside and learn.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Friendship is about more
than discovering the other per-
son. It’s also about discovering
yourself. Through your social ef-
forts you’ll get to know a lovely
person — you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Egoism is at the root of intol-
erance. To condemn egoism is
to share it. In today’s situation
you can rise above the pettiness
by quietly minding your own
business.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your tolerance for a person’s
behavior is exactly what keeps
the dynamic going. Put your
foot down and you’ll be amazed
at how fast things change.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Despite our best efforts, we can-
not in one lifetime visit all that
we hope to see or learn all that
we desire to know. That won’t
keep you from going full-tilt into
today’s ambitions.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb.
19). Exciting discoveries are
in store. You’ll have reason to
consult experts, then become
one. Among a diverse group of
influences you’ll thrive, estab-
lish a niche and create income
streams. You’ll contribute signifi-
cantly to a dear one’s success.
You’ll also find a way to cross
off one of your more expensive
bucket list items. Taurus and
Gemini adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 40, 20, 2 and 17.
