CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). Get clear about what you are doing, and don’t worry so much about how it will happen. As you focus on the effect you want to have, the details work themselves out.


THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER


LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). Life won’t be so easily organized. You’ll try to make a schedule, but things will change. Don’t worry about variables. Make the schedule anyway. Nothing will happen without it.


TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS


VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). Even though you will probably have to compromise in order to fit into the group agenda, you will get a charge from working with others. You’ll be invigorated by the group process.


WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS


LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). Something new will put the swing back in your step. This will not be a big-ticket item. What will really do it for you will be relatively small — say, an unlikely lunch item or a haircut.


BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT


SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). You will be driven by a fire in your belly. That is why you will hardly notice the hard work, unpleasant conditions or risk around you. Your passion keeps you unfazed by the an- noyances that bother others.


SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). You will feel a certain fond- ness for detail-oriented people — finicky eaters and meticulous dressers suddenly gain your sympathy. After all, our preferences make us who we are.


ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK


CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You’ll soon be seized with sud- den inspiration, but will be in a place where you can’t really express it. Just try to jot down its essence so you can help it blossom when you are in a place to do so.


PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS


AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). This is a long journey you’ve chosen, and that’s the fun. In order to prove that you are committed to your dream, you will have to choose in favor of it every day, most especially this one.


PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Your instincts are spot on. You have an inkling about what is going to happen, and the more you think about it the more likely it will happen sooner rather than later.

CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL 48 57 58 42 46 49 50 51


ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). You are in store for a surprise. No, it won’t be of the you-just- won-a-million-dollars variety, but it will be pleasant. Just a little something to make you smile and smooth the wrinkles of your day.


TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). It’s simple, really: To get more problems, dwell in the problems you already have. Complain about them, and get into the nitty-gritty details of why they are so bad. For fewer problems, do the opposite.


GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). You’ll come across one who is simply irresistible. The one who charmed you once will do it again. But this time you’re a willing participant, reasonably sure of the kind intentions of your enchanter.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2010 JERRY SCOTT & JIM BORGMAN


BIRTHDAY | JULY 28 HOROSCOPE


You will be coura- geous. You’ll push yourself to accom- plish something


daring that you’ve wanted to do for years. The venture will push you to the edge of your fear. In the process, you expand and become stronger. You’ll win or earn a hefty sum in August. October brings camaraderie and sup- port — even fans. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you.
