DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
MONDAY, AUG. 8, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
law of reciprocity, which is a spiri-
tual tenet, a religious cornerstone
and an inescapable physical
reality, will be very immediately
represented in your life. You’ll be
delighted at what zings back to
you today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You know intense people with
passions and tempers. Consid-
er your part in the drama they
always seem to stir up. Might your
steadiness and stability allow
them to fly off the handle? If so, is
it acceptable to you?
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Dif-
ferent actions net different results.
So much is going well, it would be
a gamble to change what you’re
doing and how you’re doing it
or alter your course even a small
amount. If you’re going to take
the risk, make it a calculated one.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Com-
municating with your favorite
people will be part of the fun.
Quick responses convey affection.
You’re a genius at steering inter-
actions to a sunny, easy place. You
sense where pressure points are
and navigate away from them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When a
thing is going well, you leave it
alone. It’s just now better to be
grateful for what comes than
push for more. A hotheaded
person you know may act rashly
today.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is
said that the blessings of life are
deeper than what can be appre-
ciated with the senses. Even so,
sensory input seems to take you
there. Because you’re so open,
you’ll follow your perceptions to
spiritual and emotional places.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Em-
pathy is a strength, and yet you
never believe you have enough
of it. You constantly strive for a
better understanding of the other
person’s perspective, sometimes
NON SEQUITUR

out of kindness, other times out of
strategy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
odd ideas will be the most fun to
execute. Perhaps the oddest one
is to arrange to do nothing for a
stretch of time. It’s surprising what
happens when you give yourself
space and the freedom to be your
own creature.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Very accomplished people
will also be quite humble, partly
because their focus on the work is
more fulfilling than ego gratifica-
tion, and because the truly secure
have less need of extra attention.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll be fascinated by mystery,
drama and obscure motivations.
It’s like you’re doing a jigsaw
puzzle. You have to get a good
amount of it clicked in before
you’ll know the picture that’s
coming together.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ll notice where the voids are.
As much as you’d like to fill in the
blanks and supply what’s needed,
don’t rush to do so. First, seek
more listening and understand-
ing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If an
activity doesn’t bring you chal-
lenge, money or joy, then what
does it bring you? The answer
will teach you something about
yourself and begin an internal
shift. You’ll close some doors and
open others.
MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8).
With your sparkling intelligence as
a given, you eschew overthinking
and rely on your good karma and
excellent intuition to make quick
and lucky moves. A financial spike
allows you to experience new
places and different circles. Other
highlights: aesthetic upgrades, a
rare professional opportunity and
family pride. Gemini and Scorpio
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 10, 3, 33, 48 and 17.
