DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have the capacity for outlandish imaginings, the likes of which will put you in the class of exceptional visionaries. Mental audacity will be followed by daring expansion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The coming days will be a festival of friendship, camaraderie and teamwork. Today you’ll learn how best to communicate with partners. Your superb listening skills will pave the way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll feel like a wizard trying to find your place in the normal world. The more you try to fit in with the “muggles” the better you understand your gifts, qualities and, yes, peculiarities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your job or home responsibilities will seem to clash with your ambitions and desires. The conflict won’t be resolved in a day, but by acknowledging the reality of it, you’ll make considerable progress. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone sees a different you from the one reflected in your bathroom mirror. You may glimpse how this person views you as you listen to his or her compliments and take them to heart. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 25). You respect your elders and appreciate all that can be gained in time, though you don’t accept that you are aging! In the next 12 months, you get younger through fitness and lightness of being. A love interest will help the process. Financial luck rewards the hard work you do through February. A deal will be signed in July. Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 1, 22, 30 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The emphasis will be on preventive action, doing your homework and researching to learn what has been effective in the past. Make a case for yourself before you are put “on the stand.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A problem may be “stressing you out,” but it also is potentially energizing once you realize it is solvable. The three small steps you take today will get you halfway there. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Dive right into what’s bothering you. By the end of the day, you’ll feel pleased with how you dealt with your challenges and you’ll know that you have grown from the experience. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will find tricks to managing your emotional state. For instance, you can reduce anxiousness by doing a mental simulation of the events that lead to anxiety. Imagine yourself feeling calm as you process each mental image. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Creating a good vibe at home and having a bit of fun with your family will be top priorities. This will be made more challenging when others aren’t getting along. Being together should improve things. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your soul searching will lead you to make a to-do list of concrete actions. You know that things change on a spiritual level when you work for a tangible result. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t seek knowledge just so you’ll be smarter than the next guy. You learn because it’s fun and often quite profitable for you to do so. Your education will reflect your lightness of heart.
