A8 THE ASTORIAN • THuRSdAy, July 7, 2022 FRANK AND ERNEST TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may do what’s expected of you, but you’re just as likely to do the opposite of that because today you’re a rebel. You take pleasure in the surprise of others. You delight in their raised eyebrows and luxuriate in their laughter. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be far better to go forward in blind optimism than to be critical of the early stages of a project, thereby making it impossible to gain momentum. For now, enthusiasm is more important than getting things absolutely right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A task feels like a slog, and you’ll be tempt- ed to quit at what seems like the halfway point. But you can’t know what the halfway point is until you get to the end and measure back. Don’t quit. You’re closer to success than you think. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Momentum wins, so don’t let fine details hang you up. Neither should you worry about who is going to approve or how your work is measuring up. You don’t have to get it all perfect, just good enough to move forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Success can be scary. If you do well, you’ll be in unknown territory. Grapple with that realization by remem- bering how often you’ve faced the unknown and not only managed it, but eventually learned to own it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll spend a lucky hour focus- ing exclusively on what needs to happen to reach your goal. A good plan saves time. More awareness allows you to do things with less effort. Caution: so-called free things can be costly. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It feels good to solve people’s problems and to experience their relief. You’ll underpromise and overdeliver, a surefire success formula. Though you don’t expect your generosity to be repaid, it will be. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll take measures to counteract artificiality. You’ll resist those who would have you purchase what you don’t need. Revisit the rituals that remind you of your values and connect you to who you are and where you come from. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Know- ing a lot never made anyone wise. You’re very experienced in a certain realm so it’s harder for you to look at things with a beginner’s mind, and yet you do this to fantastic effect today, elevating your work to a new level. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While it’s natural to want to avoid negative feelings, you’re also not afraid to pro- cess them. You recognize that your feelings are a reaction to a thought. You’ll change your thought, and a feeling will change too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to shine in a certain some- one’s eyes, though your success does not hinge on the opinion of one person. Even when you get the approval you want, keep building your core of fans; group support will be best. THATABABY PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN LOLA PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being around people can give you ener- gy or drain you of it, depending on your mood. Today’s small doses of mostly delightful social interaction represent the ideal scenario, as just a little fellowship can go a long way. FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 8). Your approach to goals will change. You’re used to plotting out your own challenges and meeting them heroically, but this year other people will make plans that include you and you’ll shine in a different and new way. More highlights: A spontaneous risk, a bag of money and the expansion of your family tree. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 7, 15, 5 and 11.
