DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, AUG. 20, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
B.C.
DILBERT
BIZARRO
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
stand amidst a sensory swirl of
potential influencers, though few
are worthy of your attention. In
today’s over-informative world,
knowing what to ignore is crucial.
You’ll be drawn to selections that
simplify your life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Regardless of what authority may
bear on the situation, you are
known for summarizing a situ-
ation before making a decision.
There are three colors at the traf-
fic lights of life. They suggest, yet
you alone decide which to heed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Knowing there are always taller
peaks to climb, you’ll celebrate
the elevation you’re at. Make an
event of it! This will help you net-
work, advance professionally and
connect personally with those as
supportive and enthusiastic as
you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today brings interesting facts to
light, the sort from which there’s
no going back. Even if you forget
the lesson, rebel against the
teaching, go numb to its imprint
or believe its opposite, you’ll still
be changed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re
a problem-solver extraordinaire.
When yours isn’t coming together
fast enough, you keep the mo-
mentum going on someone else’s.
The energy of progress will soon
bring improvement all around.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). What
good is knowing where to go un-
less you actually go? The research is
stacking up. The feeling in your gut
is pointing to a specific aim. Take
courage and make your move.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
someone tells you how they
feel, it’s valuable information,
especially since feelings will have
more of an impact on events than
the facts. Listen carefully. Allow
for long pauses. Energy will be
discharged through breath.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll
find yourself trying to reason with
unreasonable forces, most likely in
the form of children or those who
act like them. Maintain a sense of
internal structure, appear patient
with the outside world and you’ll
pass the test.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Either
what you assumed has been prov-
en correct, or these events are a
direct result of your assumption
— in other words, you believed
it, so it’s coming true. It’s cause for
reflection either way.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Irritation or aggravation can be
a very positive emotion to feel.
It’s a signal to move or adjust, to
think differently or get yourself
out of there entirely. It’s better
to feel uncomfortable and move
than to get numb and stay put.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The evidence suggests there are
24 hours in a day, give or take.
Your experience of the moments
will have you wondering how it
could be true. Time will elastify,
some moments a freeze-frame
and others a blur.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Beautiful experiences will catch
you by surprise. You won’t have
to wait for it to happen. It’s a
function of putting yourself in the
diverse environments that beau-
tiful experiences find irresistible.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
20). You’re like a seasoned athlete
who understands the magic
of pacing. You’ll manage your
energy brilliantly this year and
have plenty to draw on when you
need it most. Seek adventure,
follow curiosity and regularly do
the things you used to save for
special occasions. Also featured:
a big sale and a dream holiday.
Gemini and Libra adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 4, 12, 33
and 15.
