ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS JUNE 26 - JULY 2, 2005 All times/dates are Pacific Daylight. We've solved (sort of) the glitch with the Daily Horoscope "send times." The telephone companies are now broadcasting the day's forecast to your cell phone at 6 a.m. Pacific Time, 7 a.m. Mountain, 8 Central, 9 a.m. Eastern, and 10 Atlantic Time. When a really good influence occurs in the wee hours, say a great love aspect occurs at 2 or 3 a.m., I'll mention it in the prior day's horoscope, so you won't miss it. In effect, I'll write the "Daily" as a 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. day. Again, to receive your Daily Horoscope, just text ADD, plus a space, plus your Sun sign to 131313 - e.g., send ADD GEMINI to 131313. It costs $ 0.50 per day. Last week I began to outline the "Saturn change-over" for each sign. Here's more: Two years of income and spending restrictions lift from you GEMINIS this July - for 3 decades! You'll earn more, or you'll have less debt, lower costs. This lifting might not occur overnight, so continue to be fiscally conservative. Avoid new investments, major purchases and business start-ups between October 24, 2005 and November 25, 2006. Continue to be mildly cautious December 2006 to September 3, 2007. (This last phase can be superb for investments or projects in distribution, news, communications, travel, media, public dealings and partnerships. If you've never been in a business partnership, consult with an astrologer before entering one.) CAPRICORN, Saturn's passage into Leo on July 16 ends over two years of significant partnership involvements. This could have brought anything from divorce to life-long love. For all of you, personal and business relationships, negotiations, obtaining permission, relocation, contracts, agreements, opportunities, dealings with the public, have been of prime importance since 2003. From mid-July 2005 to September of 2007, your focus will change to the deeper side of relationships: to commitment, funding, sexual intimacy, shared finances, investments, mortgages and debt, to the growth of net worth. You'll establish yourself in deep, growth-oriented ways. Be courageous, but careful: August 15-October 15, 2005, and December 2006 through 2007 are the most favorable times to commit yourself to anything. Research, investigation, hunches and dreams, counselors (from psychics to accountants) will aid you immensely. Go forth, my friend! Start Nothing: 10:50 p.m. to 10:51 p.m. Mon., 0:57 a.m. to 4:45 a.m. Thurs., and 10:02 a.m. to 1:26 p.m. Sat. DOW: U-Mon.; D-Tues.; U-Wed.; ? Thurs.; ? Fri. Week: U. Aries March 21-April 19 Focus on your domestic situation, especially Sunday/Monday. These two days have excellent "security vibes" that favor spending on home renos/repairs, or investing for future retirement or your kids' welfare. (July 5 to 7 next week will give you another good chance for all these.) Lie low, rest and contemplate Sunday/Monday. You could discover hidden truths about yourself and about the cosmos. Meditate, visit psychics, deal with government agencies. Your energy returns somewhat mid-week, but don't "demand" special treatment in career matters, or you could hasten your departure. Travel Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20 Keep your attention on communications, mail, paperwork, errands, details, travel, siblings - all the minor busywork of life. Be curious, for the interesting things you learn, hear or read could later increase your earnings (or spending!) capacity. You'll feel popular, invigorated early week - life is fresh with promise! But retreat Tuesday to early Thursday - get your rest, contemplate, meditate, eat sensibly. Relationships smooth out, but legal, intellectual involvements hit barriers. Your energy and charm soar upward Thursday dawn onward - aim to make friends and make wishes come true. News elates! Gemini May 21-June 20 Seek money all week - through your career efforts, ambitious plans/projects and dealings with VIPs Sunday/Monday, through your contacts, network and social charms (and a bit 'o luck) mid-week (EXCEPT Wednesday night through Thursday morning) and by confidential meetings, quiet planning, or offering "support" to higher-ups Thursday onward. Sunday/Monday, your talents could finally be recognized and rewarded by the powers that be. If you're offered any kind of job, raise or promotion, especially Monday, say Yes, quickly! Social delights and flirtations hover mid-week! Lie low, retreat and rest Thursday onward. Cancer June 21-July 22 Your energy, charm and effectiveness are soaring, cancer - start important projects, seek favors, get out and impress people! Don't be held back by over-caution, past disappointments, old fears of tiredness, or a partner's constricting influence - these are on the way out! But be wary of starting money, purchasing or earning projects, though, as this whole area will slow down soon and stumble into delays, confusions and broken promises through mid-August. Early week could bring love or enlightenment! But get ambitious by Tuesday onward! Social wishes come true late week! Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Lie low, rest and recuperate. Meditate, reconnect with spiritual realities, float in your soul's quiet river, contemplate, plan. Deal with charities, shut-ins, institutions and government agencies. The future two years will be solid, practical ones - look at them so, and plan accordingly. Get ahead with shopping, money, income, possessions, social and networking obligations now, as these get lost in eddying currents from mid-July to mid-August. Early week reveals unexpected secrets, insights and "valuable keys." Significant learning, media, far travel and/or legal matters arise mid-week. Make sure they aren't "unworkable." Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 This is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for you! You could meet a great prospective love or business partner at a social function this week. You move through three "moods" - exciting meetings and fresh horizons early week, secrets, deep thoughts, commitment and lust mid-week, and understanding, gentle love (or flaky attraction) and "distance" late week. Distance = seeing far, traveling far, visioning beyond the details. There's only one caution: avoid all investments (and/or a sexy liaison) late Wednesday - and perhaps even earlier. Celebrate, life's good! Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Chase career, status and ambitions. Confer with higher-ups; present your case, your proposals. Make social arrangements now, and try to agree on any legal, contractual or travel arrangements, as all these will hit a delay-confusion zone mid July to mid-August. Your work scene brings a pleasant surprise early week. But guard your health (stomach, electricity, driving, tools) Sunday, when tension's possible. Mid-week brings challenges and competition -- but also good opportunities and teamwork prospects. Delve deeply Thursday onward - you could discover a laborsaving system or tool, or land a job! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 A mellow week! Sunday/Monday bring passion, romance, beauty, speculation, joys from children, pleasure, creativity. You're on a winning streak! Butter up a boss. Tackle career duties/projects ahead of schedule, as they will encounter confusion, delays and broken promises from mid-July to mid-August. Thursday onward could hold even more love and relationship success - singles could meet an exciting new person! It's unlikely that newly met people are meant to stay in your life forever, so don't persuade them into a huge commitment - just enjoy the adventure. What will be will be. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 How you act towards others has been very important since 1996, and will be until 2008. In the weeks ahead, relationships enter "power zones" where big changes can occur. Much happens "under the surface." Research; dig deep. Sexual, financial, health and life changes are slated. The power to change your life and relations resides in you, rather than in another. Cultivate self-awareness; see the effects of your moods, words, actions. Think about all this Tuesday/Wednesday, when you'll see the best side of destiny. True love might be approaching! Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 The weeks ahead emphasize relationships, opportunities, relocation, agreements, negotiations - and challenges, litigation and opposition. You might have felt like a pawn of fate in these areas for two years, but after July you're going to dig deeper into what makes others tick, you'll see motives and, as a result, you'll start to climb back into the driver's seat. Tackle finances, intimate situations, investments and debts now, as mid-July to mid-August will delay and confuse these zones. Sunday/Monday are friendly, and Thursday onward brings romance, pleasure, creative success. But rest midweek. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Tackle chores, spend extra hours, as the small, niggling details and duties will hit a streak of delay and confusion from mid-July to mid-August. Get ahead of schedule. Relationships, negotiations, deals and agreements will also hit that "delay" zone, same time period, so firm these up now, or let them go until mid-August. If single, you could meet a prospect soon (perhaps the July 2-4 weekend). This week is filled with great money ideas, especially Sunday/Monday and Friday eve/night. (Also good times to buy hi-tech.) Travel or call Tuesday/Wednesday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Romance, pleasure, speculation, creativity, joys with children - these surge into a summer winning streak for you, especially this Sunday/Monday! (Go after what - and whom - you want these two days. Start projects, start a love affair, but be somewhat cautious with career dealings.) . Soon, the sober mood, the lack of spontaneity that's settled over these areas since 2003, will dissolve. In 2006, you might wed! Chase money mid-week. Travel, talk, write and tackle errands Thursday onward. Be curious about spiritual, psychic matters. Friday evening's a good time to buy software.
