RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Pessimists and optimists may not
agree about whether the glass is full
or empty, but the scientists know
the glass is completely full. Some
of it is air, some of it is water, all of it
necessary for you to thrive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll
confidently handle today’s situa-
tion, successfully managing many
moving parts. Remember when
you had neither the skill nor the
resources to do this? You’ve come
a long way. Give yourself props.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve
worked at being an effective
communicator and it shows. You will
have a calming influence on others.
Your positive way of dealing with
them will deescalate a situation. You
could get paid for your skill in this
area.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
People want to be a part of what
you’re doing. They’ll pick strange
ways to show it. This could result
in unsolicited, though oddly
useful advice. That said, you may
have to stretch a bit to figure out
its use.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Know-
ing yourself and your views better
won’t make you rigid; rather, it will
increase your openness to other
perspectives. When there’s no need
to scramble to support or articulate
your beliefs, you can just sit back
and listen.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Though you’ve an excellent com-
mand of language, you may very
well execute it to the best effect
by holding your tongue. There’s
grace in silence, which leaves
room for the minds and imagina-
tions of others.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
research is done; now it’s time to
take action. The first step is the most
challenging because it relies on
its own momentum. The energy
created by this first step will be used
by every step thereafter.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Be a voice in the group, though a
succinct one. People have short
attention spans today and will
obey but one memorable instruc-
tion, so you may as well save the
rest of the list for later. You’ll feel
wonderfully rebellious tonight.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The image
on your phone will flick the switch
that turns on a time machine. It
sends you back, but not completely.
If only the feeling of a moment
could be captured in its entirety.
You’ll try to take a picture with your
whole being.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
can investigate deeply into shallow
things, but it’s easier to plunge
where the depths already exist.
In certain cases, digging would
require jackhammers. Instead, seek
hospitable subjects you can really
sink yourself into.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re
working at something tricky. Tenac-
ity will pay off. The initial results may
not look like much, but break-
throughs can be hard to spot. Some-
times they even pose as failures at
first. Patience will be required.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll
mirror back what you’ve heard
and give people the chance to
understand what you’re getting
from the communication. Your
skill in this regard is a healing
balm that helps everyone feel
more seen and connected.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
13). Your heart will be full, and
other resources will expand, al-
lowing you to bestow life-chang-
ing gifts. Sometimes you’ll offer
emotional support, other times
a plan, special knowledge or the
energizing force of your atten-
tion. A financial burden will be
released – more time to your joys.
New faces energize your personal
realm. Cancer and Virgo adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 1,
33, 6, 12 and 40.
