TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
SUNDAY, JULY 18, 2021
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
People around you who believe
in your magnificence make you
work harder to live up to their
image of you. It’s a metaphoric
treadmill — never-ending strides
to no destination that nonethe-
less keeps you in shape.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
There’s something you need to
do, and you can’t afford to wait
until you’re motivated to do it.
Motivation almost never shows
up early to the party of life. It likes
to arrive when the celebration is
already in full swing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Pleasant circumstances are made
more so by the feeling that
you’ve earned them. Conversely,
unearned luxuries are often taken
for granted or accompanied by
feelings of vague dissatisfaction
to thwart their enjoyment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
key to growing your energy is to
let unimportant things go. You
simply cannot do everything. By
paring down processes, posses-
sions and priorities, you’ll free up
energy for what matters to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep
going until you make something
you’re 100% satisfied with. Hold
onto all the preliminary versions,
as this proof of your journey will
be helpful to yourself and others
in the future.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Instead of waiting for useful ideas
to dawn on you, you’ll actively
search for them. It all starts with
questions like, “How can I make
the endeavor more fun/less
expensive/easier on myself?”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To re-
gard yourself with compassion is
the very least you can do. Admira-
tion would be more appropriate.
Look at how far you’ve come and
what you’ve been able to main-
tain for so long. Wouldn’t you say
it’s worth a pat on the back?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’ll be challenged to come up
with a product the others will
find not only satisfactory but
also worthy of coveting. They will
enjoy it with the feeling they’ve
achieved an aspirational status.
THATABABY
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). The pressure you’re under
is exhilarating — just the sort of
stress to trigger the opening of
deeper resources. Here comes
more energy, creativity, opti-
mism and talent.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll communicate well with
those you wish to influence,
using buzzwords they enjoy,
visuals to convey commonality,
assurances of belonging... while
still being mysterious, original
and distant enough to make
them reach.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
A simple way to get more joy
flowing through your days: Seize
the opportunity to tend to your
pleasures. This is made much
easier when you stop judging
what brings you pleasure.
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Once upon a time, you dreamed
of becoming a person who had
the very responsibilities you
have now. With a change of
perspective, the chores become
privileges. All the things you
have to do become things you
get to do.
SUNDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18).
You try things, produce results,
frame them, live with them on
your wall — and then the magic
happens. You go deeper. You ask,
“So, what?” You turn it on its ear
and start all over. The remarkable
things you’re able to accomplish
in relationships, professional
endeavors and more happen
out of willingness to invent and
reinvent. Gemini and Sagittarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 2, 14, 38, 1 and 4.
