FRANK AND ERNEST
TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2021
ARIES (March 21-April 19). As
you march ever-forward, you’ll
see the scenery shift. What’s less
apparent is the ways you are
transforming with it. There is no
better or worse way to devel-
op. Accept change as the only
constant in life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’ve had your share of tele-
pathic connections, but right
now there’s no one reading
your mind, so the quickest way
to get your needs met is to ask
directly for what you want.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The ego is a fanciful child who
can make a person believe any
number of false things. Vigi-
lance against its narcissism is
the habit of champions. You’re
guided by thoughtfulness and
restraint.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). People around you are
already primed to feel a certain
way. It is your awareness of
their feelings and the possible
trigger points that exist that
make you an expert at reading
the room and a trusted leader,
too.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Theoretically, it would seem
the simplest way to wisdom is
to cling to solitude. The wise
hermit on the hill is a trope to
span the centuries, and yet, in
reality, the more social you are,
the sager you will become.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). With messy problems,
traditional cause-and-effect
thinking won’t work. Try things
out in person. It’s the only way
to really understand, on a vis-
ceral and practical level, what’s
at stake.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
will mentally project yourself all
around a problem, eventually
perching in a place that allows
you to see much of it at once.
You’ll help others by sharing
your broad view.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Once you figure out what you
want, don’t be afraid to make it
happen. Think of life as an ex-
periment. You get to try things
on. You’ll know when it fits, and
later you can double down on
what’s working.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you
always say “yes,” then agreement
is not really a decision; it’s a
default. This is why people take
“yes” for granted. Throw in a “no.”
You grow more in touch with
your own power by exercising it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Don’t be too quick to call
something a waste of time just
because it doesn’t categorize.
Maybe the category hasn’t
been invented yet. But if it feels
important, it probably is.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those
who say they want closure
often just want a more readily
acceptable ending. Acceptance
is the final step. While it may not
be possible to get a different
ending, acceptance is a choice
you can make any time.
THATABABY
PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
LOLA
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You need help. Recogniz-
ing this is not weakness; it’s
strength. Leaders delegate. De-
cide who can help you and why
they should, and then build the
perfect pitch from there.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22).
A magical scene comes togeth-
er as you learn to trust your
talent and intelligence, which
go far beyond the practical or
factual. What you’re conscious
of knowing is but a sliver of
what you really know. You’ll
travel for a celebration. Profes-
sional improvements lead to
personal gains and vice versa.
Aquarius and Gemini adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 1,
3, 33, 38 and 18.
