FRANK AND ERNEST
TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 2020
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Approval is a fleeting and pre-
carious thing, not to be taken
too seriously. Using approval as
a guiding light would be a com-
fortable and grave mistake.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
People get bored with one
another. That’s part of the deal
in any relationship. The best way
to keep it interesting is to create
space while you work on things
that make you feel vital and
renewed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Today features an immersive,
joyful and satisfying experience.
The best part is you know when
you’re in it; you note and doc-
ument what’s going on around
you; and later, you can savor this
again.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll consider doing more for
yourself, though you worry how
it will affect others. If you keep
ignoring your own interests,
you’ll wind up resentful and
disappointed. Just choose you
and things work out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may
come across work you did long
ago and discover that it makes
no sense to you now, or you may
be utterly baffled by a decision
you made way back when. See
how far you’ve come?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Robots can repeat precise
maneuvers tirelessly but cannot
respond to anything outside
of their programming. For you,
repetition gets tiresome indeed.
You need fresh circumstances to
think your way around.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’ve heard it before, but you
have trouble taking it to heart,
so it bears repeating. Doing
things for yourself doesn’t mean
you’re selfish. It means you’re
doing a good job with your No. 1
job in life: taking care of yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Emotional fitness is just like
physical fitness. It takes prac-
tice. You have to move and lift
the heavy things until they feel
lighter. Practicing this will be
the main achievement of the
day.
THATABABY
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your signmate Ludwig van
Beethoven’s notebooks reveal
how he gradually assembled his
glorious melodies, sometimes
culled from uneventful begin-
nings. Don’t expect miracles
from the start; this is a process.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The lesser-known aspects
of your life will be a point of
fascination for someone who is
a wonderful fit for you. You will
know those who are not good
fits by their disinterest. Avoid
the incurious!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ll deal in two kinds of
instruction. One is meant to be
followed to the letter, and the
other is more of a statement
of purpose that allows you to
achieve your mission by any
means you see fit.
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Emotional avoidance eventually
causes more pain than if you’d
just dealt head-on with what
you were feeling. Name the feel-
ing, and then let yourself wallow
in it. It will dissipate eventually.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 14).
Kindred souls abound, and as
you put more into the world
that speaks to the depths of
who you are, they emerge to
share with you. You’ll make so
many fortuitous choices —
some by complete accident
— though it’s the decisions you
make with mental clarity that
will do the most good for you
and yours. Cancer and Sagittar-
ius adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 9, 13, 30, 28 and 45.
