DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, AUG. 4, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re
in a mood to make things, seal
deals and put plans in motion.
You’re happiest when you’re in
the flow of arranging life the way
you want it. Give yourself plenty of
time to dream. The excellent ideas
are flowing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even
when you are not among your
familiar group of true friends,
you will still feel that you can be
yourself. In fact, “yourself” is the
best person to be to attract new
true friends. Your social circle will
expand.

BIZARRO
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There are those you can’t get even
with because they always seem to
give you more. Do they need the
upper hand? You dislike indebted-
ness. You’ll return favors and give
generously of yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Playfulness is your forte. There’s
always a line to walk. The distinc-
tions can get a bit murky. Today it’s
better not to take social risks that
might hurt someone’s feelings.
When in doubt, don’t say the joke.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No
two people live in the exact
same reality. Even twins can have
drastically different understand-
ings of the world. When someone
projects a reality you don’t share, it
will be simultaneously enlighten-
ing and bemusing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Annoyance is born in the
annoyed, not the annoyer. Still,
the effect is convincing. Someone
will, without conscious effort,
succeed in annoying you. Then
you will succeed in changing your
response.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Sometimes a network can feel less
like a net and more like work. If
you’re experiencing more of the
obligations and duties than you
are the support, connection, fun
and other benefits, take a step
back. The break will do you good.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ll take a stand against the
oppressors. It doesn’t matter to
you whether you personally have
been affected by their oppression
because you feel a kinship with
humankind. What affects one
affects all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may
feel like you’ll never get used to a
situation, but you’ll be surprised at
how things turn around when you
get to know everyone better. As
you start to relax, your charisma
will be triggered, and you’ll pull
everyone in.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
is no point in being the judge; it
will only create displeasure. You
can still assess things though,
mainly to determine which part
of it interests you so you can put
your energy into exploring that
slice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some-
times you fear that if you don’t
do the work, it won’t be done
correctly. But the pressures of the
day can’t be met by one person.
Share the work and make room
for people to put their own spin
on it; the result will be excellent.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
4). Kismet joins you with a fun
group. There are all kinds of
resources within it, including pro-
fessional and financial. It’s a year
when you can take bold action
in your personal life because the
experiences you crave are beyond
the humdrum and will require
the kind of guts and creativity
you have in abundance. Libra and
Aquarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 1, 2, 9, 14 and 12.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
passion you feel for a cause or a
kind of work is more powerfully
energizing than romantic fervor.
Action leads to alliances and more
NON SEQUITUR
action. You’ll be swept into an
empowering momentum.
