DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, JULY 21, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
were eager for good to triumph
over evil. Now you realize it’s not
so much about good and evil
as it is about power and how
a game is played. Rules will be
broken by all sides.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Only
untrustworthy people constantly
talk about how good they are.
Actions speak even when the
actor is unaware of what they are
saying. Those busy doing what’s
right might have little time left
for hype.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A
case of arrested development
will be featured, with people
trapped at a point of growth
they do not know how to move
beyond. The stunted are likely
oblivious to their own behavior.
Compassion is called for.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll take on tasks you are not
yet equipped to handle, nor do
you fully understand what they
will entail. You’ll start without
guidance but keep seeking help
and along the way you’ll pick up
the mentor you need.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve
experienced the quick brilliance
of sheer inspiration, but the mus-
es are fickle. More typically, what
brings about your best is a bit of
outside pressure. It’s on today.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
self-doubts are normal but un-
helpful, so you may as well stop.
Your wishes are not unreason-
able fantasies. If you don’t feel
your hopes are within your grasp,
you haven’t surrounded yourself
with the right people.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
While it’s wonderful to get what
you want, it does come with a
downside. Suddenly, you are
responsible for protecting and
maintaining the gift, as well as
being grateful for it and using it
accordingly. Wish carefully.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’ll be mightily productive
working with those whose gifts
are complementary to yours but
not identical. They share your
values, not your strengths. You’ll
accomplish together what you
couldn’t do alone.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Sometimes relationships
require work, but you shouldn’t
have to work at them all the time.
Putting too much emphasis on
serving the needs of others will
only make them spoiled and you
resentful... not great for anyone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The ego has a necessary role in
your psyche, trying to mediate
between all the parts of you.
Don’t condemn your ego, but
don’t cater too closely to it either,
or believe it as the absolute truth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
A great well of self-discipline
can be accessed. It won’t last all
day, so use it while you have it.
You will expertly manage your
emotions, curb your cravings and
shine in the social arena.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
“The eye can’t see its own lashes”
says the proverb, though things
change with lash extensions.
You’ll notice something about
yourself. To you it’s subtle, but
not to them. It’s an advantage to
see from different perspectives.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
21). Your confidence is high,
and for good reason. Your talent,
plus inspired action, will equal
explosive success. Quite by acci-
dent you’ll make your way into a
stellar team. More highlights: a
hobby becomes work, a moment
of closure or comeuppance, and
trading in “old baggage” for new
luggage and celebratory trips.
Aries and Pisces adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 19, 3, 33
and 14.
