R JERRY SCOTT & JIM BORGMAN
BIRTHDAY | SEPT. 1 HOROSCOPE
Your good luck increases through the next four weeks, and you’ll have the
confidence to take risks. Your relationships get instantly more exciting, and new people come into your life, too. November represents a thrilling twist in the usual plot. You’ll exchange meaningful promises in March. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). Once they have your ear, those who want to please or persuade you will spin a most appealing tale. You may not know what to believe right now, but you do know what not to believe.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). If you embark on a solo mission, it will make you all the more appealing to your ever- growing fan base. People want to be around you, and it will be difficult to get away and do what you want to do.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). Many a truth is spoken in jest. And those Freudian slips really will tell an interesting story. Paying attention to subtleties will be most entertaining and revealing today.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). You are a self-directed person living in a world where everyone wants to tell you where to go, what to do and how to do it. In order to do something your own way, you’ll have to shut everyone out and do it by yourself.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). The world is your art project — an extensive collage in which you play with the scale of things. Right now, you’re into making small details seem enormously important while the big picture fits nicely on the head of a pin.
TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). You benefit from handling things in real time. Answer the telephone instead of letting it go to voice mail. Tell everyone at the start of the conversation that you have just a few minutes to talk.
WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). What would happen if you deleted all the e-mails you haven’t read or dealt with and just started fresh? What if you didn’t go through the clutter pile before chucking it all in the trash? Bold moves to clear your way will favor you.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). Your loved ones and colleagues disagree with you about what really matters. It may turn out that you are blowing events out of proportion, a sign that it’s time for a respite from the bustle.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). For the most part, you know where you’re going and how to get there. But something has changed on the route. Once in a while, even the savviest navigator has to stop and get directions.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You are fresh on the scene and will add new energy and vigor to the proceedings. It may feel to you that you are not doing anything too important, but you contribute much just by showing up.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). When you’re with that intoxicating person, you lose all track of time. The colors of the world intensify. You understand the meaning of words like never before. Life is vivid.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). There is a competition going on. Be aware of it and you’ll be a contender. Those who appear to be resting may, in fact, be sizing up the situation and waiting until the moment is ripe.
