A8 THE ASTORIAN • THuRSdAy, SEpTEmbER 30, 2021 FRANK AND ERNEST TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2021 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t approach relationships like an investor approaches the stock market, with an eye con- stantly out for the return. You’re a giver, so you give. The winds of love will distribute your offerings perfectly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve a multifaceted skill set. When you don’t get the chance to use some of these skills for too long a time, you start to feel diminished. Want a spiritual lift? Seek opportunities to exercise your competence. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What do you want to be known for? The answer to that question has changed many times over the years and is changing you still. Today brings novel and bright new ideas on the subject. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The inherent chaos of human connection is bound to create a mess sooner or later. Would you really want it any other way? Today’s madness is poetry in mo- tion. It will even seem to rhyme. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Space and silence can be a heal- ing gift to a relationship. Long conversations are apt to get off track, so keep it brief, say what you need to say, and then leave and let it sink in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The old vaudevillians had it right. A three-step process helps the show along quite nicely. First, tell them what you’re going to do. Next, do it. Finally, tell them what you did. Cue the applause. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You shouldn’t have to power through an endeavor on your willpower alone. Demand some- thing of the venture. Is it exciting enough to pull you forward? Momentum is easy when the job fits with your life and interests. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). How do you buy time? In the case of library fines and overdue credit cards, you can buy it with money. But in most other cases, time is bought with charm. Your charisma will get you as much of someone’s time as you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The past has your attention like a spell. Break the hold it has over you by freshening up your environment. Different and new surroundings will sing out to you, “Welcome to today!” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are as worthy of the best things in life as any king, queen or saint. The question is, what constitutes a best thing? Love’s gaze tops the list. Currently, the most splendor- per-inch will be found in the eyes of another. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one is born strong. Strength is weakness handled proactively. You’ve lifted much in this life- time and gotten stronger with each effort. You’ll do it again today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve seen plenty around here, and you’re ready to see what’s over there. This appetite for adventure, being stronger than usual, is going to take some planning to execute, and that will be half the fun. FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 1). You’ll work toward something you want, and then the universe shows you an even better fit. It won’t require more effort, just different effort. You’ll be enliv- ened by a challenge. You’ll make a system out of the solution that will be helpful to others. New thought and fitness patterns raise the amount of fun in your world. Gemini and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 44, 41, 20 and 15. THATABABY PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN LOLA SIX CHIX MUTTS BABY BLUES ZITS
