FRANK AND ERNEST
TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2020
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There
are many levels beyond excel-
lence. You’ll elevate a work by fus-
ing the styles you already know
and adding your own unusual
elements. The fresh approach will
impress and fascinate.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As
soon as you put a word to how
you are feeling, the feeling is sub-
tly changed into something your
consciousness can process. There
are times when this helps and
other times when wordlessness
is divine.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your powers of mind control are
augmented, and you’ll guide your
own thoughts as an expert rider
would guide an obedient horse;
the slightest tension on the reins
and your thoughts go off in the
direction of your choosing.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peo-
ple want what they want. Don’t
wait for someone to desire in the
same direction or intensity as you.
Whatever you can do to release
others from your expectations will
make everyone happier, especial-
ly you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Knowing
that your role in a group is essen-
tial and that you are crucial to the
outcome of other people’s goals,
you often make decisions based
on what everyone needs but you.
Press pause on that tendency
today. Act in self-interest.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It
can take a long time to learn
the ropes, or it can take a short
time. Being your own teacher is
the hard way. You’re better off
looking around, reaching out and
even paying to avoid needless
confusion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
you don’t know what to do to
support another person, just try
something. Effort will be admi-
rable, regardless of how it lands.
That you care to respond at all is,
in and of itself, meaningful.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even
though “no drama” is among your
proclamations, the fact is that
without some degree of tension
and conflict, the story of a rela-
tionship would be mighty boring.
Maybe change your mantra to
“some drama.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll be made aware of how
the word “responsibility” means
something different to everyone.
The standard you hold yourself
to is so far from universal, it may
as well come from a different ZIP
code of the multiverse.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Charm can be used for benev-
olent or nefarious purposes.
Distrust it in others today, and
that goes double for yourself.
Question motives. Why is it, do
you think, that this added layer of
social grease is suddenly neces-
sary?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
need to socialize and the reliance
on other people for survival will
be noticeably balanced by an in-
dividual and hard-to-explain need
for tranquility and a connection
with something beyond human.
THATABABY
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You will get the same message
that others get, but you’ll hear
something very different in it.
If language is a code, then you
crack it, deciphering the intent
and motive behind each word.
WEDNESDAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Dec. 16). There is no consensus
on what constitutes a lifestyle
upgrade. Your genius will be in
sensing the change that’s right
for you and then bravely opening
yourself to a generous source and
accepting what comes. Settling
into the new groove will take
some creative problem-solving.
Supportive alliances help, too. Leo
and Cancer adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 28, 1, 44 and 16.
