BIRTHDAY | JULY 8 HOROSCOPE
Adventure will call this month. You strike a sweet balance between
play and responsibility. Relationships delight you in August. The straightforward path won’t appeal — you are far too creative and unique to do things the way everyone else does them. You will zig- zag your way to an important achievement in November. Taurus people adore you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). People who lash out do so out of fear. You are a bigger person. You’ll offer your hand in friendship preemptively. It’s the best defense against hostility. And this might actually turn out to be a good friend to have.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). You’re charmed. The sun is on your face, the wind is at your back, and the pretty people do double takes as you walk by. Don’t let your attractiveness go to waste by staying in.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). For some, a lie isn’t always a bad thing; for you, it is. This is an admirable principle, but you may find yourself being tested when a loved one casually asks your opinion on a sensitive subject.
BARNEY AND CLYDE WEINGARTENS & CLARK
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). Everyone has been calling on you to help out. Normally, you’re glad to lend a hand, but there’s only one of you and a lot of them. Try saying no this time. It’ll be good for you. Boundaries are important.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). You don’t hear what people are saying about you when you’re not around. The details aren’t as important as the words they’re using: tenacious, dependable, hilarious.
TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). From time to time, you’ve been known to flirt harmless- ly, just to be fun and social. Usually, though, you only flirt with a person you are truly interested in, and that’s the kind of flirting you’ll do today.
WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). You have a special chemistry with someone, but it can’t develop into anything more unless you communicate well with each other. It’s not nec- essarily a personal relation- ship that’s at stake; it’s more likely about business.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). You do love an orderly house- hold. Unfortunately, your schedule prevents you from fully catching up. A solution is on the way in the form of someone who just wants to help you out.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). Lately, life is like a Frisbee game — a constant chase. As soon as you catch up, you’re on the run again. You’ll love this next go-round.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). When someone exhibits a nervous shyness around you, you take it as a serious com- pliment — as you should. But don’t let it go to your head, because that will ruin this perfect dynamic.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). You don’t need to improve yourself. However, learning a new skill just for the fun of it will open unforeseen op- portunities. This doesn’t have to be a long and involved process. Choose something relatively simple.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Encouraging words come at just the right time. All you have to do is let them sink in. You’ll soon feel your will- power surge and your mind grow sharp. You’re ready for action.
