FRANK AND ERNEST
TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2021
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s
not that some are worthy of your
attention and others aren’t, but
you can only give your attention
to one at a time. Now, there is the
matter of fitting the right offer-
ing to the one who can extract
value from it.
hitting “send.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
would like to hear that you are
the best at something, and you
don’t even care if it’s true or not.
Maybe it will become true in
time, but right now the chiming
sound of those melodious words
is gift enough.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). This weird bit is true: “Failing”
at a new task is far more satis-
fying than succeeding at a task
you’ve already mastered. The
quotations are used because it’s
very possible that “failure” is just
an early version of success.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Great
work in its early stages looks a lot
like a mess, a blunder or a con-
fusing pile of disparate elements.
There are no failures, and no
successes either — only proto-
types of varying effectiveness in
serving the original purpose.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Others may be happy when you
take the known road, but you’re
not in charge of the happiness of
others, you’re in charge of your
own happiness, which is more
likely to unfold when you take
the other one.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s
as though you have a committee
inside of you, and you will do
what the majority vote tells you
to do. If there are conflicting
ideas, expect inaction. You’re
hard to convince, even when
you’re the one doing the con-
vincing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Sometimes, you need space, and
other times you need closeness.
You appreciate the one who
understands the limits of intense
engagements and follows up
intensity with sweetness and
distance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
instincts are dead-on. When you
trust someone, you’re open to
their surprises. And when you
don’t trust someone, there is no
reason to be involved at all.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There’s no need to wonder about
whether what you’re giving
today is good enough. You sense
what others are missing and
fill in the blanks for them. What
could be more elegant than this?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
current cosmic alignment acti-
vates your play mode. You might
even find yourself performing for
your phone — harmless enough,
as long as you realize that there’s
something irreversible about
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
fortuitous arrangement has not
been forthcoming. What gives?
You don’t like their offer. They
don’t respond to yours. It’s all
a signal to broaden the search
terms.
THATABABY
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
empathy is a talent for sure, but
it can also be overwhelming to
feel so much for others when you
cannot do anything about those
feelings. Whatever you can do to
be communicative and persua-
sive will help.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22).
You’ll manage others like a boss,
and you’ll delegate like a psychic.
The most impressive part is that
you do this outside of a work
context. Maybe it’s a weird thing
to celebrate, but you cannot
argue this impressive fact of
your talent — people love being
ordered around by you. The
windfall comes in August. Pisces
and Aries adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 8, 5, 12, 28 and 17.
