TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2019
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
If it’s difficult to find things to
appreciate in those around you,
then you might be in the wrong
crowd. There is no good reason
you shouldn’t be around people
whose qualities you admire.
Focus your attention on the one
area of your life that, if changed,
would favorably touch every
other area of your life. Tonight
will be a particularly fantastic
time for introspection and
planning.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Get
some altitude; you’ll learn a lot
when you go where the view is.
Once you see a problem from
the top, you’ll know how to
solve it. But you can’t do it from
there. You have to go back down
and solve it on the ground.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You know what you want,
and you’ve already committed,
but when it’s time to actually put
this in motion, your brain will
object with the most interesting
excuses. Don’t give it the chance.
Act first; think later.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Life
is messy. So when you embrace
life, don’t be surprised when you
come away with a few stains on
your shirt. This is just evidence
that life embraced you back.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
A sentimental mood makes the
passage of time a little blurry.
And, if so inclined, you’ll find
that you can move fluidly to a
feeling you had in the distant
past.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Those who act the most confi-
dent may be the most insecure.
The truly secure don’t usually
see the point in drawing atten-
tion to themselves, as they’re
too busy just doing what comes
naturally.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A secret
is a powerful thing that, like all
powerful things, has an impact.
Keep it to yourself with a sparkle
in your eye and its impact is
charismatic. Keep it to yourself
with shame and its impact is a
gravitational pull on your spirit.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In-
stead of trying to force yourself
to be nicer, find more reasons
to be cheerful. And when you
succumb to negativity, you’ll
find reasons to be there, too.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Get in
the mix however you can — as a
volunteer, an intern or just as an
unqualified person doing a job
for free. Even if you mess up a
lot, you’ll be better off than you
would be paying for a class or
experience.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Though you feel it’s not as
important to air your feelings
as it is to reconcile them within
yourself, much will depend on
your company. Only your near-
est and dearest will get the full
picture and even then, only in
small doses.
THATABABY
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Repairs will be necessary. Don’t
waste time with amateurs
including yourself. Likely, this is
beyond your scope of expertise,
and you probably don’t have the
tools to do it the right way. Use
the best professional you can
afford.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.18).
Twice this solar year, you’ll be
on the receiving end of an
expansive gesture from the
universe — a prize, or money in
the mailbox. Even so, it’s small
treats along the way that make
you happiest. Highlights include
delightful social plans, a game
you stumble into and time in
gorgeous scenery. Aries and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 15, 9, 37 and 11.
