FRANK AND ERNEST
TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
past experience will help you
as long as you understand that
every case is new and today’s is
not exactly like anything you’ve
seen. Try not to let what you
know blind you to what you
don’t.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s
one thing to control the luck
you’ve been given, but it’s quite
another spiritual skill level to
manage the luck you haven’t
even been granted yet. Practice
the latter to ready yourself for
what’s to come.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As
you observe the reactions and
take in the opinions of others,
you’ll start to suspect that you’re
doing things the hard way. Ask
for shortcuts and they will be
illuminated.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You know when you’re on track.
Though it’s much easier to sense
when you’re off, as the road gets
mighty bumpy and your pro-
ductivity slows, if it doesn’t grind
to a halt. Don’t wait for all that
drama. Make adjustments now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When
someone says, “I’ll try,” it typically
points to a low commitment
level. If you feel yourself hedging
toward this response, consider
what would need to happen for
you to actually dig in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People who claim to be seeking
the truth may actually be fishing
around for an ego boost, which
is too bad because compliments,
validation and other sorts of
emotional charges are a poor
substitute for what truth can do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Who needs your compassion?
Everyone. The righteous and
the sinners, the desperate and
the confident, the joyful and the
depressed, and all in between.
You need it, too. When in doubt,
choose tenderness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To
sum it up, don’t sum it up. To
describe people in a few words
would be reductive. To condense
the deal down to the bot-
tom-line dollar amount would
cheapen it. Be comfortable,
for the moment, with the vast
undefined.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Right now, it may not seem
like the real-life version is living
up to your standards, but don’t
be so quick to judge. There are
needs being fulfilled of which
you aren’t quite aware.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Self-control and self-denial are
not the same thing. You’ll have
greater control when you don’t
deny yourself so much as steer
yourself in the direction of a
substitution.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When you put the time and
energy into learning a thing, you
want to get a return on that in-
vestment. And if the thing you’re
learning is another person, the
return will be a very satisfying
feeling of deep connection.
THATABABY
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Wanting to be anywhere other
than where you are makes things
difficult. But the minute you
decide that where you are is the
ideal place (regardless of what’s
going on there), the difficulties
dissipate.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 19).
It was a long shot and you took
it anyway. You’ll be glad you
did, as the solar return rewards
gambling on your own ambition.
You’re almost too attractive at
the wind down of 2019 and
there’s security in this. You may
go more unapologetically into
who you are and find exciting
liberation there! Sagittarius and
Capricorn adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 10, 4, 38, 17 and 15.
