B3 THE ASTORIAN • SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2022 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2022 RHYMES WITH ORANGE B.C. DILBERT ARIES (March 21-April 19). What feels arduous and static at the beginning will prove to have its own powerful momen- tum once it gets going. You’re on the right track; you just need to build it out a little more. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re good for the morale of a group. You’re funny. People lighten up around you. You can make things happen with indi- rect suggestions of the sort that won’t trigger people’s defenses. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one who finishes first is not the winner. The winner will be determined by some other criteria more subtle and strange. For instance, the one who involves the most senses while listening. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are no insignificant mysteries in life. Investigate the subject that interests you. An answer to some minor problem might be the solution to what ails the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many times a day, you have feelings you don’t act on. Your maturity allows you to separate yourself from your emotions so you can try to understand them without identifying too strongly with them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one wants to spend their time fake laughing. Luckily, you won’t have to. Funny people will solve more than one problem for you today. They keep you from boredom while answering the call of the moment. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The minimum you expect from yourself is to add value. Ulti- mately, your goal is to multiply the good fortune of those around you. You’ll do it, espe- cially by spreading a positive message to a large number of people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Rather than attacking the prob- lem head-on, take a sideways look at it; the new slant leads to a breakthrough. You will be rewarded for your brilliant thinking. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being brave is your specialty. You’ll make the cold call, introduce yourself to a stranger or risk rejection in another way. You’ll put yourself out there and create opportunities. BIZARRO VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The memorized pitch, the skillful presentation... You admire these displays but are not particularly influenced by them. You prefer people to speak naturally and candidly, which you’ll get today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You do not have proof of your abili- ty in a certain field, yet you feel deep down in your being that you can and will do whatever it takes to succeed. NON SEQUITUR WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Proceeding through fear takes courage. But sometimes it’s better not to give yourself a chance to be afraid. Just move. If everyone pondered the possible consequences, we would have fewer heroes. MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 28). Welcome to a sociable year of harmonious relationships. Embrace your delights but also the bothersome things, as there’s a huge opportunity hiding inside a persnickety prob- lem. As you learn how to change things, you’ll pick up valuable skills. Group work is favored. A dream will spring to life. Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 17, 8, 33 and 41.
