B3 THE ASTORIAN • SATuRdAy, AuguST 17, 2019 FRANK AND ERNEST TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2019 THATABABY ARIES (March 21-April 19). The spirit of play has more to teach you about the people around you than you could possibly get from more formal discourse. Today, you’ll learn a person’s nature and find a point of comfortable connection. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This goal you’ve been working on might not bring what you’ve hoped for, but that will proba- bly be its own kind of reward. If not, having finished will be the reward, which comes in the form of confidence. PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN LOLA GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Complaining doesn’t improve things, but it can bring aware- ness to what needs improve- ment. From there, a decision must be made. There are three choices: stop, work around it or change. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The shiny new objects and opportunities will appeal to you far more today than the actions that feel safe and the environments that are familiar and comfortable. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How can you tell life is going well? Various balances will be record- ed and reported, but they say nothing of the kinship in casual banter, the laughter between friends, the way you felt when that song came on. SIX CHIX VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be careful with your help. If you help too much, you could be hurting by nurturing a de- pendency that will hinder a person’s ability to develop skills on his or her own. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Finally, you’ll get the chance to sit down with someone you’ve been missing. As poet May Sarton suggests, “Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.” MUTTS BABY BLUES ZITS SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may watch the weather, but unless it’s extreme, you don’t let it interfere with your plans. Focusing on what you can do in the moment is always better than worrying about all the things you have no control over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Take the temperature of the room. You’ll change it just by being there. The more you understand how things are, the better you can make them into what you want them to be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People assume that the heavy-handed oppressor is the bad guy to be feared. Actually, the one to watch out for will come in soft form. That which tempts, amuses and distracts us can have dangerous poten- tial. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can either fix what’s broken or wait a few months more for the availability of the new version. Likely, this is about something other than technol- ogy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What seems like a very small distraction simply takes up too much of your time. You’ll be so much more productive when that one diversion is no longer a part of the picture. SUNDAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 18). You’ve won a permanent home in someone’s heart. There’s comfort in this, also a distinct brand of discomfort that goes by the name “adven- ture.” Feeling loved and safe inspires you to take risks you wouldn’t have before. You’ll enjoy different transportation. A professional circle opens to you. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 45, 4, 9 and 30.
