DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
MONDAY, JULY 18, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
conventional wisdom says to state
what you want because people
are not mind readers. Today you’ll
experience the opposite phenom-
enon – one person having a fuller
sense of the mind of the other
than words could convey.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
It is the messiness of life that
makes it fascinating. You won’t
get that version on social media.
Intimacy occurs up close and in
real time, which is what you get
today. Nothing beats the insider’s
perspective.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
shouldn’t have to impress anyone
with a grand gesture. If you feel
you must, there’s an imbalance at
play in the relationship. The small
moments of shared understand-
ing or tenderness will make the
impression.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Using your talent will be not only
satisfying but a reminder of how
good life can be when you are
doing what you love. A bit of ap-
preciation from others is a cherry
on the sundae.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Rarity
makes a thing special. What’s
always available will not be
valued, no matter how intrinsi-
cally valuable it is. Uncertainty
and infrequency are part of the
equation. If you have a thing
every time you want it, it’s not a
treat – it’s a habit.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A new
scene awaits. There’s no way to
prepare for it; you just have to go
and find out what it’s like. Expe-
rience is the only teacher around
today, and you’re a quick study.
You’ll start feeling comfortable
right away.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t
try to provide all the answers or
do too much of the work yourself.
Make it easy and necessary for
everyone to help. In the process,
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
they will become a team, and
you’ll all be more productive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll
learn faster when you stop caring
what others think. Maybe no one
will notice a mistake, or if they do
it won’t matter much. Confidence
isn’t self-conscious because it’s
too busy playing the moment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You seek a certain type of
relationship. Another type of rela-
tionship seeks you, and it’s a tiring
roundabout chase. Then there are
those relationships that just fall
together beautifully, as though by
fate. Lucky you!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The discussion that seemed so
promising may ultimately mean-
der and devolve. It’s all part of the
process of figuring out what really
interests you, sharpening your
skills and honing your criteria for
worthy pursuits.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There is a temptation to “give
away the farm” since, let’s face it,
even metaphoric farms can be a
lot of hard work. Prize what you’ve
built so others will, too, and then
be sure to keep a controlling
interest.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
encouragement is needed more
than you know. And though you
may feel ill-equipped as a cheer-
leader, you’re actually well-suited
to the job. What you say will make
a difference in the morale.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18).
You will live as the philosopher
Friedrich Nietzsche did – by the
concept of amor fati, “a love of
one’s fate.” Whatever destiny
hands over, you’ll polish it until it
gleams. Your solar return raises
the stakes. You’ll be trusted with
treasures of finance and heart.
The prize for doing well will be
life-changing. Capricorn and
Pisces adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 9, 3, 33, 38 and 45.
