DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life
is bustling and you’ll do what
you can. As for the rest, instead
of saying “I don’t have time,” try
more empowering language like,
“this is not my priority right now”
and feel like an absolute boss.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Communicate about money. If
you’re making wise decisions but
your loved ones aren’t on the
same page, they could counter
your actions and thwart your
progress. Alignment creates
momentum.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Humans often equate attrac-
tiveness with goodness, but
the correlation doesn’t exist.
Though appearances may afford
you many clues as to a person’s
character traits, you’ll have to
look deeper to know how good
someone is.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ve a talent for understand-
ing just how much you can and
should take on. It’s natural to
want to distance yourself from a
harsh reality or distract yourself
from pain.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To
believe in your ability to sense
what the right thing to do is and
trust yourself to act accordingly
promotes confidence in who you
are now. For even more confi-
dence, extend the same courtesy
backward to Past You. No regrets.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As
you make more of a distinction
between what you have to do
and what you choose to do,
you understand that the list of
have-tos is actually quite small.
You’ll examine your reasons for
continuing with certain respon-
sibilities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Conscious living has a price. The
highs and lows will be extreme
and acute. But feeling everything
life has to offer is better than the
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
alternative — walking around
as though programmed, like a
numb zombie-robot.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). We
want what seems somewhat,
but not entirely inaccessible.
Complete inaccessibility inspires
derision. Desire will be ignited
where beauty meets the unfin-
ished or unpolished. Rawness
makes a thing accessible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’re highly influential
today. With power comes
responsibility. Before you make
your pitch, lead your team or get
involved in any situation, stop
and ask yourself what’s best for
all.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Even though a job is nearly
complete, the refinements take
almost as much time as the job
itself did. Tending to details is
hard work, but also very worth
the effort.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’re still navigating the com-
plex matrix of another person.
You’ll never know it completely,
but your willingness to try will
keep the relationship fresh.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Because you feel less pressure
to conform to norms today your
approach to problems will be
very different. You’ll skip the usu-
al solutions and come up with
inventive and amusing fixes.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (April
16). You’ll experience many
environments and get the best
of every world. Chaotic challeng-
es shape you; calm, support-
ive places allow for intensive,
focused work. You are brilliant
without trying to be or do
anything other than what comes
naturally. Someone will travel far
to see you — the ultimate com-
pliment. Scorpio and Aquarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 3, 28, 9, 45 and 15.
