EZ RE JERRY SCOTT & JIM BORGMAN


BIRTHDAY | DEC. 21 HOROSCOPE


The year starts off on a streak of financial luck. You courageously attempt


things at which you are not an expert and wind up broadening your horizons. New people come into your life in January. You land in peculiar circumstances in February and find a way to shine. May brings fun dates. July brings travel. Cancer and Aries people adore you.


ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). If you feel that you keep repeating the same behavior, today provides just the pattern interruption you need. It’s like a great cosmic throat clear — “ahem” — that somehow startles you onto a new path.


CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL


TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). It’s not about finding the right person for you; it’s about being the right person for you. Give yourself a treat to show your love. Nothing fancy is necessary, just a gesture that says you’re paying attention to your own needs.


GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). The shift in consciousness that you need is not difficult to make. Rather, it’s so easy that you might even call it fun. Do what you want to do. There, it’s that simple!


CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). If you want to get results, you have to be the squeaky wheel. Normally, you are too cool to take this approach, and yet there are times, like now, when being cool is seriously overrated.


THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER


LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). There will be a lull in the action, and it comes at the perfect moment. Now you can sit back and figure out just how to make the most of the recent turn of events. Strategize.


TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS


VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). Because of your charm, grace and charisma, you’ll be in a position to keep the social brew bubbling. If you only follow one rule this evening, make it this one: Never be boring.


WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS


LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). You’ll be in a position to learn about others. You’ll ask questions and focus intently on the answers. Instead of relaying everything about your own situation that comes to mind, you simply listen.


BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT


SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). While someone you know is dreaming about tomorrow, you’ll be busy making today worth remembering. You’ll have many spontaneous and creative notions about how to accomplish this.


SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). You might try and miss today, which is to be expected for someone who is still learning. You’re going to get it eventually if you keep trying. On the other hand, if you don’t try, you’re guaranteed to miss.


ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK


CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You sync up with nature in some way, perhaps by connecting with an animal or getting out into the open air. There is a deep feeling of contentment within you because you are in harmony with the natural world.


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


AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). You may feel compelled to tell your side of a story, especially because the other sides seem to be riddled with half-truths. If it’s imperative that you say your piece, leave quickly afterward.


PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Your sign can change moods as quickly as a chameleon changes colors. But today you’ll be in a state of mind that you want to hang on to for as long as possible. External circumstances cannot change this.
