B2 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, dEcEmbER 21, 2021 FRANK AND ERNEST TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2021 ARIES (March 21-April 19). The problem needs a creative solution. Don’t skip the brain- storm. Write down everything that comes to your mind on the subject: good, bad, realistic, fantastic... Workable ideas are oddly similar to ridiculous ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Getting yourself to do what you know you should can be tricky. When you resist your own self-discipline, assume you have your reasons. Maybe your approach is too harsh. Go easy. Try tenderness. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re in the mood to get right to the point. It’s a style that will be appreciated by efficient types who don’t need a lot of fluff and extras. As for those with sweeter preferences, do it your way but add lots of sugar. CANCER (June 22-July 22). All your relationships feed your soul. It’s just that some serve cake and others serve vegeta- bles. Today, your soul is most fortified by solid types serving sandwiches. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today’s success formula is very simple: Recognize where you made a bad choice, make a better one and enjoy the difference this creates in your world. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What would your life look like if you didn’t have a worry in the world? Get a vision of your- self as a completely carefree person, and then analyze the vision for hints about your best next move. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Watch your words, especially when you talk to yourself. Keep it sunny and warm. Fortune is truly smiling on you, and rec- ognizing your good luck brings about even more of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Look again at your finances. You are paying someone to do what you would have more sat- isfaction doing all by yourself. Can you cut expense and do more with less? THATABABY SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been too hard on yourself in some regard. A gentle approach will reduce, if not erase, the hurt and tension. There’s much to be gained by simply settling down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A paradox: Sometimes you have to stop “doing you” in or- der to become who you really are. You’re daring today and will let go of a comfortable pattern for the sake of self-knowledge. PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Michel de Montaigne won- dered if he was playing with his cat or if he was a toy to his cat. Such questions apply to your role in a nonfeline relationship. You’ll be keenly aware inside the games people play. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Aesthetics matter to you more than usual, not just because you want to be surrounded by beauty but because a greater sense of order occurs around well-thought out environ- ments. WEDNESDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 22). Appreciation is your general attitude, which tunes you into experiencing deeper levels of loveliness. Nuanced talents will send you in a fresh trajectory and at the end of the solar cycle, you’ll feel like a new person. Family additions will turn up the energy levels; children and/or brainchildren will reflect brilliantly on you. Aries and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 38, 11 and 4.
