B2 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, July 13, 2021 FRANK AND ERNEST TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 2021 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Doing your homework sounds like a chore, whereas investigat- ing, researching and questing for answers sounds like an adven- ture. What you call an activity will contribute greatly to your mood about it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Speaking what’s on your mind is a risk that might not accomplish exactly what you want it to, but if you end up expressing what another person feels but cannot explain, you’ve done something valuable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Mess- iness doesn’t necessarily mean a lack of method. Sometimes, very effective processes are a mess to behold, yet still governed by rules that they adhere to faithfully in- side the jumble of elegant chaos. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A problem that’s very real to a 5-year-old may seem ridiculous to a teen and irrelevant to the autonomous adult. Life gets sim- ple when you skip the mundane struggles, opting only for the timeless ones. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People sum one another up with quick character judgments and catego- rize accordingly because no one has time to go into the infinite complexities of every person they meet. Knowing this, you’ll proudly project certain qualities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though all matter is merely ener- gy condensed to a slow vibration, the rate in which you are getting what you want seems to be par- ticularly lethargic, and you will be forgiven, if not rewarded, for your efforts to invigorate it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Per- forming teaches you something about yourself, but it’s better done in real-life interactions given to people in the same room. The self-conscious trap of watching yourself in a performance will distort and ruin the lesson. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The nexus of space and time where you are now is the only action- able platform in your universe. You can seize, conquer, cuddle, snuggle, sing or strut it; just don’t give it over to the undeserving. It’s yours to use. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll challenge yourself and push the boundaries of what you think is doable, acceptable and typical of you. Being willing to do this and then courageous enough to follow through expands you as a person. THATABABY PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When what’s being said has no relevance or interest to you, act quickly, changing the channel, setting something down or walk- ing away to find what matters. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While life mostly consists of trades (oxygen for carbon diox- ide, work for money, money for food, loyalty for security), today you’ll revel in an unusual scenario — the joy of a thing that gives and doesn’t take. LOLA PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a vitality that comes with people paying attention to your ideas. But when everyone is try- ing to be seen at the same time, the energy implodes on itself. The answer is to work in obscurity, a joy and a freedom. WEDNESDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 14). You’ll celebrate three events of uncanny good luck, though, for the most part, you’ll credit your wins to dedicated and consistent daily efforts. You keep your mind on who you’re doing a thing for and your clear picture of those whose lives will be improved by your mission. This will keep you fueled in every way. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 33, 6, 39 and 12. SIX CHIX MUTTS BABY BLUES ZITS
