DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, AUG. 25, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If all
this foolishness has you tempted
to put on a stoic face and just get
through it, you won’t be taking full
advantage of the situation. Have a
little fun. Use the confusion like a
magician uses flash-pot powder.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To
advance you must first to defend
your current position. Take stock
of your assets; ask for what you
need. Whether you get it or not,
you will work with what’s available
and employ the talents of those
around you.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
can relax a bit because there really
is no way to force things to go
faster. You can force, but it will be
the same outcome, so you may
as well conserve your energy. It’s
simply unnecessary to exert your
will at this juncture.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
intuitive powers are heightened.
Act on a whim and you’ll stumble
into success. A friend in need may
be a friend indeed, but tonight’s
unexpected delights are the out-
come of focusing on the ones who
aren’t in need.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
highly motivated with more than
enough energy to get the job
done. Your thoughts and desires
will seem to be right in line with
the universal agenda, so the way
will be smooth. Embrace love in its
many forms.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
creativity is boundless, and this
actually makes it more difficult to
finish your work. Lay down some
rules for yourself and all goes bet-
ter. You’ll produce something that
is both novel and useful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re
still not sure how much to trust
someone. Giving faith arbitrarily
won’t make anyone a faithful
person; rather, it makes for fool-
ishness. Trust is really a matter of
knowing others so well you can

predict their behavior.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
others may be loyal and true, but
they’ll never know you as well as
you know yourself. Since you’re
the person you have to spend
time with every day, you may as
well learn how to make yourself
comfortable and content.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The things you surround your-
self with are meaningful to you
and meant to be observed and
enjoyed – except when this isn’t
the case at all. You’ll make things
nicer by weeding out the visual
distractions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll honor the tradition, follow
the recipe, conform to the expec-
tation – and then change it all to
your liking. The flourish and twist
will captivate your crowd and keep
them coming back.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You may be surprised at your own
words, and perhaps you’ll notice
yourself expressing something
you weren’t aware that you felt.
Your awareness of the conflict is
fortuitous. You’ll be rewarded for
working through it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You will thrive in the in-between
moments of unstructured time.
Relaxing your muscles is a way to
relax your whole attitude toward
life. Start at the head and breathe
out the tension in each section
until you get to your toes.
THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
25). Past lessons align themselves
with this fresh era and your work
takes off. Clear about what you
want, the way becomes obvious,
and your motivation is built into
the plan. More delights: A holding
pattern will finally be broken.
You’ll enjoy time in an environ-
ment that’s completely alien to
what you’ve known. Aquarius and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 3, 13, 37 and 1.
