DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, AUG. 18, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Once
upon a time you got into a rela-
tionship deeper than was good
for you and now you know. You
can appreciate those who give as
much as you do, have a similar ex-
citement level and are just looking
for ways to show you love.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Raise
your energy with a pep talk or
another sort of physical and psy-
chic invigoration. It may feel odd
to manufacture the hype, but the
energy boost will attract opportu-
nity and prevent the day’s events
from draining you too.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What
people think of you matters less
and less to you. You put your ego
on the line and it’s more than
many people are capable of. This
is the risk that lets you continue to
expand in skill and confidence.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Improvements are hard to see in
the short term but just consider
where you were last year. You
didn’t have the sense of purpose
you now possess, and you’re more
aware, effective and aligned too.
Let yourself feel proud.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Self-es-
teem is earned through estimable
acts... but only if you can remem-
ber you did them! You get so
used to being you that you don’t
see the ways you contribute and
make a difference every day. Keep
track to keep going.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Sometimes people make your life
better by being in it, and other
times people make your life better
by staying out of it. Whichever
way it’s going, trust life’s process.
All is naturally unfolding to your
benefit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
love, care and respect you give
yourself not only feels wholesome
but also shows others that you’re
someone to treat with love, care
and respect. You’ll start a cycle
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
with this. Feel good and allow for
feeling good!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There are those who are limited in
their capacity to be curious about
others or make them a priority.
Whether this is a temporary state
or a character trait, it’s better to
seek attention from people who
can actually give it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Whatever your current mood, it’s
only a starting place. Coax yourself
into a creative mindset from here.
Set aside the time. Get the envi-
ronment situated to support your
work. Creating opens your heart.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Give the pursuit a break. What you
want will come to you after you’ve
stopped chasing. Whether you do
something else or nothing at all,
it’s better than grasping at a thing
and thereby pushing it further out
of reach.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
are right to be extremely choosy
about adding anything or anyone
to your life. When it’s love, the
caring and maintenance (which
always comes with acquisition)
will be more pleasure than chore.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As
much as you want to be free of a
memory, willing yourself to forget
won’t work. The harder you try,
the more focus you put on the
unwanted thoughts. There is only
one way out, and that is through.
Recall, process and let go.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
18). You’ll lead with a heart that
dares and draw people into the
excitement. The thrills of new
opportunity will be balanced
by secure relationships you can
count on. More highlights: an
upgrade to familiar comforts,
participation in a fascinating and
diverse group, and education that
opens a professional door. Aries
and Gemini adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 8, 20, 19, 17 and 7.
