DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Understanding the experience
of others is more important than
who is right or wrong. If you want
to lower the levels of confronta-
tion, use “I” statements instead of
“you.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When the lightbulb goes out, you
change the lightbulb; you don’t
get a new house. Narrow your
focus to the problem area, then
zero in on the problem spot and
finally the problem source, which
will be quite small and fixable.
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No
relationship is perfect. Conflict is
a fact of life. What matters is the
desire to live in harmony. Some
things won’t be solved, but the
intent to solve them counts for
a lot.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Those who do wrong will
self-punish, while those who do
right will self-reward. In light of
this, there is no need to condemn
or elevate anyone, so avoid the
pressures (or pleasures, as the
case may be) of judgment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ever the
entertainer, you don’t have to
worry about being perceived as
boring — it’s just not an option.
Behaving in such a way that
others will find humorous or
fascinating is part of your subcon-
scious plan.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Things
have changed. You’re no longer
sure what you want. The big
picture seems overwhelming, but
you can put your finger on the
following question: In the coming
six weeks, how do you think you
can best serve your people?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe
you’ll call out the untruth when
you hear it; you always hear it.
Then again, people need their de-
fenses. A lie can seem very small
next to your big, gracious heart.
And so, you let it slide.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
A long time ago you made a
commitment. Do you remem-
ber why you made that choice?
That answer will be the light that
guides you. If it’s hard to answer
this question, maybe it’s time to
reevaluate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The goal seems achievable,
yet you haven’t. It’s not for lack of
desire, and you’ve certainly put
in work, but something is just off.
Either change the goal or change
the plan. An outsider’s perspec-
tive will help.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
It is logical to believe that if you
do the right thing, then the next
right thing and the next, you will
eventually achieve success. This
only works if your “right things”
are aligned in a row toward the
target. Organize your efforts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Bad habits die hard but die they
will for those who keep trying
things until something works.
Ideally, you’ll believe in yourself,
but if you don’t, that’s OK too. Just
act “as if” for a while and one day
it will be true.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
When a friend needs a listening
ear, you’ll resist the urge to tell
your own story (especially an
exciting, glamorous version that
few can relate to) and give your
full attention.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb.
24). That great universal force
called attraction is working for
you. Somewhere between tiny
electrons flying around the
nucleus of atoms and the grand
galactic swirl is you, following the
attractions you find meaningful.
Your love will be well-placed and
reciprocated. What you accom-
plish in a supportive group will
amaze. Libra and Capricorn adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 30,
9, 6 and 41.
