DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, SEPT. 3, 2022
RHYMES WITH ORANGE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s
so much pedantry and minutiae
to deal with that the very idea of
creating an enjoyable experience
seems far-fetched. Your own
delight is not too much to ask for.
Make it a priority.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
goal of today’s exercise is to achieve
results through collaboration. You
will interview, observe, interpret,
negotiate, compromise and agree.
By working together, you’ll accom-
plish what neither of you could do
on your own.
B.C.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll
enter a foreign realm where you
don’t know the particulars of the
language, what the signs point to
or how to use the tools. A guide can
help, but what helps the most is
your patient determination to take
it one step at a time.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). People
agitate you. It’s nothing personal.
You could even think of it as an op-
portunity to rise to the occasion. It’s
like they are whipping up a kind of
light goodness in you. You become
like a fluffy meringue on the lemon
pie of life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What
goes disguised as a complex and
nuanced problem is actually quite
simple. It boils down to having the
guts to do what falls in line with
your own values, regardless of the
opinion of others.
BIZARRO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Emo-
tions are not to be overcome so
much as accepted. Feelings arise
uninvited but if you reject them,
they won’t leave. So let them in
and decide what to do about it.
You always have the option to do
nothing at all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are
some things you don’t have to work
at. You love the subject and when
engaged in its study or practice you
radiate joy, as though this is what
you were made for. Do what it takes
to get more of this in your world.
NON SEQUITUR
WIZARD OF ID
ROSE IS ROSE
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re
trying to accomplish something
that requires you to think harder
and feel deeper. It will help you to
clear space and time so you can
really get lost in the subject without
the shallow distractions at the
surface of life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When people are wondering what
you’re going to say next, you’re in a
good position. You have their atten-
tion and that’s a moment to take
advantage of. If you have further
surprises, intrigues and delights,
you’ll be golden.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
move only feels risky when it’s new.
When you take the same chance
repeatedly, eventually you get
comfortable with what was once
frightening to you. This is what’s
happening now. You’re gaining skill
and courage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most
people deal with noise by making
more noise. To be heard over the
cacophony one must be louder
than it, right? You’ll try something
else – a form of communication
that speaks beyond what sound
waves can carry.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
will remember what you learn
slowly. Don’t stress over large
undertakings. Take them in small
chunks so they cannot overwhelm
you. Take regular breaks too. When
you put the work down, the learn-
ing seeps in.
SATURDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3).
You’ll produce the spark that lights
a fire in people. And your warmth
makes people feel seen and
important. Many connections will
come together, and you’ll execute a
grand plan. You’ll surf a sea change
at work and love where you land.
Getting a lump sum all at once
allows you a splurge you’ve wanted
for years. Gemini and Capricorn
adore you. Your lucky numbers are:
17, 3, 38, 15 and 6.
