ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). Have you ever chatted with a robot? It’s usually frustrating. You will be reminded that although artificial intelligence has come a long way, it is still a poor substitute for human intelligence.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). Sometimes humility works in your favor, but not today. If you’re too modest, others will assume that you have much to be modest about. Better to inflate your accomplishments a bit in the retelling than to play it low-key.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). You’ll be asked to tell a story. As you relay your tale, you help organize the listener’s mind around the things that really matter in this life. You will simplify the complicated world, if only for a few minutes.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). When you express yourself, a buzz of excitement glimmers around you. That’s because you have a knack for squeezing the juiciest part of a topic and getting a sweet sound bite out of it.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). This day is both busy and eventful. There’s a prize to be had, and you’re hot on its trail. Like a cat, you find the movement and stay with it, chasing it around until the perfect moment. Then you pounce.
TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). You’ll be the expert pattern finder, seeing what others don’t see. You pick up clues and realize before others when things are about to repeat. Others would be wise to follow your lead.
WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). You need calm and quiet almost as much as you need air and water. Extended periods of noninvolvement in the dramas of the world will heal and inspire you.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). It may feel as though you are going in circles and getting absolutely nowhere. Perhaps that is because there is nowhere to go, only a “where” to be. Enjoy your current where, wherever it may be.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). You’ll handle a domestic issue brilliantly. The solution will have something to do with making sure the public you and the private you match up. When the public you and the private you match up, that’s class.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). Give yourself extra mirror time today because you’re likely to run into just the person by whom you don’t want to be caught off guard. For some reason, you’d prefer that this person see you in a glamorous light.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Part of living in the present is talking about the present. If you find yourself using the past or future tense quite a lot, it’s a sign that you’re not fully in the present. Make the current moment your main topic of conversation.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Strike up a conversation. You’ll find you share something improbable in common with that friendly-looking stranger next to you. You could become fast friends.
