TOMORROW’S
HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, AUG. 19, 2022
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Bad
habits ultimately deplete, good
habits ultimately fortify. You might
feel tired after you exercise, but
in the long term it makes you
stronger. A new pursuit will follow
a similar rhythm with short-term
pain and long-term gain.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It
may feel important to declare
your boundaries. Relationships
are defined by actions, not words.
When it’s not going strictly by your
rules, just remember that you can
go by your own rules, and that’s
what matters.
matic,” which is more an indicator
of habit than fate.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A
flurry of new people and challeng-
es comes with the chaos of a new
venture. It will be invigorating to
dance with the disorder instead of
attempting to control it. Eventually
things will order themselves.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The dance of relationships is one of
stepping back to get closer. Honor
your need for space and become
sensitized to the spatial needs of
others. The oxygen in these spaces
is what makes togetherness spark.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A calm
mind makes you better at just
about everything. Getting to that
calm mind is an essential discipline
to learn and eventually master.
You may even create a method of
calming that’s unique to you, yet
helpful to many.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today’s project may not seem like
a fertile ground for self-expression,
but with your imagination it won’t
be too hard to find an approach
that elevates. Somewhere inside
every job is an opportunity to be
fully yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). For
the most part, you’re a lover, not a
fighter. Still, some things are worth
fighting for. Today it’s enough just
to notice what they are and ex-
perience the surge of feeling that
comes with appreciating them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Ask for what you need. In doing
so you’ll create the change that
sets off a hundred other improve-
ments. You may not have the
support you want now, but it will
come eventually. Meanwhile, be
your own champion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
employ your talent for sensing the
motives of others. You’ll counteract
any force threatening your goals. It
will be strategic to keep your plans
secret. Relatedly, an effective use
of silence will make a statement
that words cannot.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
network keeps giving. You’ll learn
what you need to get to the next
place then return with a long list
of new questions to ask. The more
you know, the more comfortable
you get with the reality that you’ll
never know it all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
something happens easily, it feels
fated. In today’s case something
falls together and gets tied up in
the bow of destiny. Note the differ-
ence between “easy” and “auto-

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Remember the time when the
unexpected change shook up your
perspective and then something
truly positive came out of it? That’s
great because it will happen again.
When it goes a bit sideways, hang
in there.
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 19). A
surge of power; with faith, courage
and vision you’ll harness the winds
of fortune to do your bidding. You
change or drop many old rules you
had for yourself as love renders all
micromanaging unnecessary. Oth-
er highlights include savvy invest-
ments, coveted keys and stellar
invites to times you’ll remember
for years. Scorpio and Capricorn
adore you. Your lucky numbers are:
1, 10, 44, 28 and 14.
