B3 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, AuguST 2, 2022 BLONDIE 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. B.C. DILBERT 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.
