ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS NOVEMBER 19 - 25, 2007 All dates/times are PST. CAPRICORN, in 2008 you'll be catapulted into the future, into a new social circle. Your horizons will change, and slowly but inevitably, you'll alter your plans in deep, life-affecting ways. It will be one of the luckiest and most productive years you've had in a long time; yet it will also expose any weaknesses in your abilities, network of allies, background and experience. Crucial times! In preparation, spend 2007 sinking into contemplation; reflect, study your path, examine your soul, your emotional connections - are you being nurtured? And are you nurturing others enough, are you charitable, spiritual enough? Do you need educational upgrading? Think these questions through this November through 2007. A true regeneration is coming, biggest of your life! The most loyal sign is probably AQUARIUS. Yet many would-be male wooers of Aquarius women stand hand-on-hip, frustrated by the coterie of male friends she seems to cultivate. In Aquarius, you get both ends of the spectrum: they're intensely loyal to whomever they make up their minds to bond with - and they never change their minds unless an airplane falls on them. Yet, Aquarius demands the freedom to be friends with anyone and everyone. This quality of fixity, of never changing his/her mind, applies equally to Scorpio, Taurus and Leo. These are the "fixed" signs: stubborn, loyal. They hate change and disruption; they want to live their lives in an unchanging groove. Yet if any of these signs are unloved in a relationship, they can wander: Leo for romance, Taurus for a fleeting sensuality, and Scorpio for deep, binding sex. In the year ahead, Aquarius will re-discover his/her coterie of friends, and make many new ones. Single Leos will discover true love, and could fall madly in. Scorpio will make money, and Taurus will "grow" something, depending on his/her situation in life - most will welcome a baby (pregnancy) a new lifestyle, growth of net worth, and/or a deeply sexual relationship. For all signs, this December and 2007 represent a culmination of the past 12 years - for most, a lucky, expansive culmination that can solve a decade-long problem, or finally put a decade-long effort over the top and lead it to success. Whatever has been most mysterious to us during the past 12 years, will now admit us to its secrets and shine a light on them. Many books will be published on the subconscious, fate, and physics. Large new sources of oil will be found. A new political manifesto will be announced, and be embodied by a nation's new government by 2008: soon (2008-2024) it will spread to alter or undermine governments around the world. Start Nothing: 3:54 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. Mon., 5:19 p.m. Wed. to 1:25 a.m. Thurs., and 5:43 p.m. Fri. to 7:41 a.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 Your future looks bright! In the weeks and months ahead, love returns (becomes gentle, mellow and wise). You might wed. You'll be hungry for culture; you'll travel afar. You'll reach for more learning, might attend college or university. If you're a writer, lawyer, advertising idea person, librarian, scholar, teacher or are involved with international business, expect a banner month and year ahead! Gloom, mysteries, power struggles dissolve, as early as this Monday or Wednesday. You'll appreciate the spiritual value of friends. A secret hope will come true within 210 days. Taurus April 20-May 20 "New life" enters in the days, weeks and months ahead. Where there was barrenness, there will be fertile ground. If you're young and married/coupled, a child might arrive. In business, the money shows up - perhaps in the form of an investor or semi-silent partner. If you've relocated, now you dig in and make projects, lifestyles and loves grow. Physical gratification lies ahead. If married, don't be tempted - send this energy into research, investigations, financial maneuvers or estate building. Act soon, start projects before Christmas! Commit, welcome consequences! Your world will change! Gemini May 21-June 20 Since 1995, every opportunity contained a frustration, involved dictatorial, stubborn people, or demanded loads of work. In the days and months ahead, you'll face four separate, big opportunities. All of them do have some link to work, health, or stubborn people - but frustration dissolves, and success is imminent, even gigantic - IF you can co-operate, partner up, see and address others' desires. Relocation, marriage, fame, public dealings, contracts, negotiations, litigation - these can be involved. Exciting people enter. Take a "first step," a giant step, before Christmas. (But don't buy property.) Cancer June 21-July 22 Hints of romance visit you Sunday/Monday, but only Monday holds true good fortune - - you could stumble onto a new love, a gold mine, new job, child-related solution, lucky gamble, creative brainwave, etc., this day - and Tuesday! And Wednesday! Mid-week begins a whole year of expanding employment, health, machinery and repair interests. This will lead to overtime hours or a second job, more duties involving your children, or increased involvements with service people. A promotion or pay raise will follow, if not in 2007, then in 09 or 11. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Make any last bids, forays, starts or finishes in your domestic situation, in real estate, security, gardening, retirement or child-related areas Monday through Wednesday. (Monday's best, Wednesday's least.) Your luck could bring a last-minute success! But mid-week also brings a great dawning change of focus, from practical matters to the pleasures of life. This starts a year (through December 2007) of huge luck in romance, creativity, self-expression, beauty, sports, pleasure, games, vacations, speculation and teaching/raising kids. Your heart will fill with life's promise! Clear away some chores Thursday/Friday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Take care of paperwork, travel arrangements, details, contacts and communications Sunday (careful) through Tuesday. Mid-week begins a year of huge luck in real estate, home, domestic arenas, gardening, agriculture, soul, diet, birth, pregnancy, children, family issues, security, retirement and/or selling a business. This will be an excellent year ahead (through December 2007) for both emotional therapy and physical healing. Close the door on old, moldering problems, vexatious people, and "defeatism." If you can't succeed where you are, leave! Act soon, Virgo - take first steps within the next 29 days. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Handle money and spending carefully Sunday, then chase dollars or large purchases Monday to Wednesday (Monday's best). You could hit a last-minute jackpot of some sort! Mid-week begins a whole year of increased travel, communications, associations, paperwork, and casual friendships. You'll be busier than you've been in years - yet all the pressure of this time will be light or superficial - the stakes are not high. Friendly romance is probable. New friends are a certainty. Luck and profits will come from curiosity, reading the newspaper, asking questions. Be an explorer, Libra! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 You attract others Sunday, but what they bring might be unlucky. Monday's different - you can make a great impression on someone important to your future. Be friendly, upbeat! You might stumble into a profitable situation/relationship Tuesday/Wednesday. Mid-week starts a year of sensual satisfaction, and great luck in earnings, money and buying/selling. Your memory will be good - you'll succeed at projects that demand "rote learning." Try, before August/07, to put your money on a permanent plateau - e.g., seek a pay raise rather than overtime. Take first steps within 4 weeks! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Bide your time Sunday - a commitment would be unwise, unprofitable. Your spiritual, contemplative, planning side wafts and benevolently to the surface Monday daytime - be charitable, aim your soul upward. Your energy and charisma begin to quietly increase Monday night through Wednesday. This is a turning point. Not again will you drift down to the nadir you've experienced over the last year (and decade). From here, it's upward - your charisma, optimism, friendliness (and amount of friends) your luck, understanding - increase mightily! Take solid steps toward this new life before Christmas. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 A social or romantic wish might come true Monday! Otherwise, tackle unanswered messages, neglected errands; order supplies, make contacts, finish paperwork, reports and schedules - cautiously Sunday, "whole hog" Monday through Wednesday. This will leave you the freedom, next week/month, to sit back, ponder, and envision the year and decade(s) ahead. You'll have good, effective energy Thursday/Friday. But mid-week signals a change: during the month and year ahead, seek quietude, retreat from hands-on duties to a more administrative, delegating role. A quiet, spiritual, "inner exploration" year lies ahead - embrace it! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Act on business, profit, prestige and career plans Sunday (carefully) through Wednesday. Contact prestigious people, higher-ups, even parents. Even as you do this, you could find a mood change slowly comes over you - though your aim is ambitious, you start feeling more friendly, outgoing and relaxed with people. That's because you're about to burst into a year of social delights, optimism, wish fulfillment, light romance, entertainment and popularity! Plunge into this early - get out, mingle, call, get yourself invited - take the first large steps - before December 21. Relax Thursday/Friday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Sunday/Monday are mellow, wise; love is gentle, expansive - all this is better Monday, as Sunday has a couple of deep-seated barriers. Finish any travel plans, school or legal applications, cultural-event sessions, or philosophical/love discussions by Tuesday. A bright new trend begins Wednesday/Thursday, bringing luck and expansion to your career, status, and parenting ambitions through the weeks and months ahead. Don't delay - act on ambitious plans before December 21. You're likely to be promoted in 2007! Optimism, social delights and popularity visit you Thursday/Friday, but retreat for a restful weekend Saturday. www.astralreflections.com. Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 604-261-1337. /30/
