DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY JULY 9, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). A
foreign place will capture your
curiosity. Whether you travel there
in person or go there in your mind
through study, media or fantasy,
the experience will be a thrill.
When it’s time to leave, you’ll take
something of it with you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll
disagree with someone and still
basically get along. You commu-
nicate well, which sometimes
means not saying a word, and
always means chiming in with
topics likely to uplift.
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Though you’ve met people with
similar senses of humor, it’s the
ones you knew when that sense
was developing who have not a
similar sense but the same sense
of humor. Reconnect with them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Remember when you were in sur-
vival mode? You’re thankful not to
be there and yet the lessons are
still relevant. Survival mode has its
advantages. Attention is paid to
what matters. Nonsense assumes
its proper size.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Things
have gotten convoluted. You may
not even be sure how you got
here, but the next step is simpler
than it seems. There’s something
you need to stop and something
you need to start. You sense what
it is. It’s time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Here
comes a call to action. Don’t won-
der if you have what it takes, just
answer the call in the affirmative,
or better yet, get immediately
into action without saying a word.
Pretending to be brave leads to
real bravery.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
research you do before you leap
will save you from a dish you
don’t prefer. Peruse the menu of
life before you order with a special
eye to the price. Events, jobs and
people can be much more “ex-
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
pensive” than one might guess.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
don’t seek out difficult people and
neither do you avoid them, be-
cause you want what they teach,
even if the lesson is just how to be
patient or how not to live. Difficult
people hone your humanity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The journey won’t always
add up, make sense or proceed
in a straight line. If it did, you’d
become bored and disheartened.
You thrive with novelty and
surprise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
It follows that anything assisting
you to discover and explore the
unexpressed self is a real blessing.
Enlarge your circle of influence
through education and conver-
sation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
It may feel like you are singing
a beautiful song to people with
no ear for music. Keep singing
anyway. To expose people to
something new is a gift. People
need to hear a thing many times
to understand it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To
admit your fear and uncertainty
takes a special sort of superpower,
the one that is almost never laud-
ed amongst the Titans, and that is
the superpower of vulnerability.
Only the strong can perform such
a courageous feat.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 9).
This year is a fun surprise box, and
you’ll adapt to any circumstance.
You’ll look for opportunity no
matter what. Through repeti-
tion and training you become a
talent to be reckoned with. More
highlights: a mystery solved with
a treasured friend; a message to
the world sent in an unusual way;
a memoir that makes an impact.
Gemini and Taurus adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 20, 21, 8,
17 and 12.
