JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE WEINGARTENS & CLARK
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). You can sense what people are thinking. It’s not even hard for you. You see the thought zipping by, and you read it like a sign. Using this gift, you will make a sale or be otherwise influential.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). You know what’s good for you and what’s not. You just need to be reminded once in a while. Today, you will get such a reminder from your conscience or your stomach. Heed the warning!
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). No matter how considerate, a renter will never care about his or her dwelling as much as a homeowner. Keep this in mind when someone asks you how much you want to invest in a job or relationship.
TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). You didn’t run out of gas; you only needed a pit stop. Checkered flags beckon. Refreshed and refueled, you head back out onto the track a lap ahead of everyone else.
WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). You’ll get a few things done, though your pace is lackadai- sical. Plan a weekend excur- sion. A change of scenery will awaken new inspiration so you can boldly move forward.
PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). The people who love you forgive you for your lapses in good judgment, but hope- fully, they are around to witness your triumph today. People do learn from their pasts, as you demonstrate perfectly.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). You are on time for almost everything today, an act of responsibility that will ripple out and have a favorable effect on people you don’t even know. Tonight, a friend repays a favor.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). Sometimes you can’t see how things will come together until they do. An unexpected turn of events will lead you right to where you want to be.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). You think people should treat each other with respect. A reasonable expectation, but not everyone is as high-mind- ed as you. Still, someone surprises you today with his generosity.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Your life is blessed — a fact that’s easily forgotten the morning after a night of imperfect sleep. Pick up a little pep on the way to work by spending a moment think- ing of something you have to look forward to.

BIRTHDAY | JULY 7 HOROSCOPE
You’ve shied away from a certain risk in the past, but this year you face it head-
on. You will lose your fear by doing what scares you. There will be a positive force in your life — a group of people who support you uncondi- tionally. In December, your communication skills help you enchant a sweetheart. Cancer and Sagittarius peo- ple adore you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). The one who loves you will help you prepare for the things you want to accom- plish. This may entail your doing more work than you intended. That’s the price of success, and you’ll be happy you paid it.
DARRIN BELL
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). You’ll get compliments that you feel you don’t deserve. But wait — maybe you’re being too modest. Knowing you, this has been a long time coming. So just smile and say “thanks.”
