ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
MARCH 6 – 12, 2011

	All times/dates are PST.
	When, back in the early ‘90’s, in one of my public talks, I said there might be a war involving billions in the Middle East-India area, I didn’t imagine it would take the form of a widespread rebellion. But the present revolts might be it – hopefully, they are. It will last eight years overall, though much of the big stuff occurs before June...
       Apropos the Middle East, I think there will be a Second Coming, to occur between 2230 and 2380. I suspect this one won’t be God’s Son (Jesus) but a Daughter. She might not come as a human, but as an angel, with wings filling the horizon. And perhaps she won’t bring the cross, but a sphere. Anyway, this is what astrology seems to indicate. Of course, I might be one of the false prophets Jesus warned us about. But I don’t feel false, and I also don’t see any personal gain or honour accruing to me for saying this – on the contrary, I might lose clients from writing such weird things. 
	This future era, by the way, will be both healthfully religious and extremely intuitive. Learning will be marked by intuition, not logic. Logic, analysis and detail will decline in subtle, accumulative ways (much as religion, philosophy, colleges and universities are declining in our present era, 1983-2230). Entire structures, in thought and in mortar, will be built upon psychic, intuitive and spiritual foundations. If a “visitor from outer space” does come, it will be during this era. We will launch vehicles intended to reach other stars. It will be a bountiful, cheerful time, but also a quiet, relatively uneventful time geopolitically.
	Our present 1983-to-2230 era, as I’ve said before, is overbalanced – almost always stable, even stultifying, but with the danger of tipping over, of massive events meant to right the one-sidedness. So we have events like the credit freeze of 2007-08, and the Mid-eastern tumult of 2011. Compared to the previous era, however, from the 1700’s to 1983, ours is blissfully quiet – that era was dynamic, brought constant warfare, two world wars, constant expansion, imperialism, but also huge strides in technology, exploration – which our present era lacks.
	In our era, world commerce expands mightily, and is a huge source of wealth and activity – but it is also marked by greed, and will come to a mixed end, after which there will be a kind of passive, philosophical spiritualism, an acceptance of the consequences. Wise people during this era will invest rather than earn. Young people will form loving bonds on a more communal and friendly basis than anyone did prior to the 1980’s; those born in the 80’s and beyond already show this tendency. 


Start Nothing: 8:04 to 9:52 a.m. Tues., and 9:26 p.m. to 9:31 p.m. Thurs.

Aries   March 21-April 19
Your energy rises nicely Sunday/Monday, and some gratifying luck comes your way (Sunday) – but use this energy to deal with governments, to fulfill your obligations, and/or to remove restrictions. The remainder of this week, slow down, retreat, rest and contemplate. One of the most important, exhilarating, freeing, friendly and future-oriented periods of your life begins this week, for an eight year run. You’ll live more eccentrically, you’ll have little fear, and no patience with conventions. You’ll act unpredictably, and attract some oddballs! Chase money midweek. Errands, Friday.

Taurus   April 20-May 20
Popularity, optimism, entertainment, light romance, and a general joie de vivre fill your days! But retreat briefly Sunday/Monday: rest, contemplate, be charitable – plan future actions. Your energy and charisma surge Tuesday to Thursday – start important projects (better Wednesday dawn onward). You relate well to males now, whatever your own sex. Chase money Friday on. This day technically begins eight years in which your private life will grow more lively, and your career will benefit from background connections, government involvements, administration, and management techniques.

Gemini   May 21-June 20
The general emphasis lies on career, reputation, dealings with authorities and VIPs, parents and bosses (all of whom might display impatience, temperament, but will quickly “forgive” if you’re sincere). Walk proud, but show eagerness to please. Start things, seek responsibility, ask for a chance to prove yourself! Happiness and optimism, social joys and entertainment “touch you” Sunday/Monday. Retreat to rest, contemplate and plan Tuesday-Thursday. Your energy, charisma and luck surges Friday/Saturday: flirt or achieve! Eight years of exhilarating social life begins this month.

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Your career will be unpredictable and exciting for the next eight years. You get a lucky start, for your career is very favoured until June. So  use the few months ahead to expand business, to seek a promotion, to display your talents to higher-ups, etc. In the years ahead, your career will feature (or be subject to) these themes: investment, other people’s assets, detective work, research, private arrangements, lifestyle changes – changes in general – high tech, humanitarian or group-oriented activities. Short range: go forward March and May. Save April for “former things.”

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
The past 15 years have nudged you toward gullibility that ended in mistrust. You might have been tempted by alcohol, other people’s money, sexual longings, secrecy, etc. Life has been dreamlike, watery – cotton batting, not steel. That ends this week (not entirely, such a long trend will take time to dissolve completely). From here on, for eight years, your mind grows clear, alert. This clarity will end your doubt and suspicion. For the first time in many years, you are cleared to find and wed your true mate. Travel, legal, intellectual, publishing activities will also benefit.

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The past seven years have brought you clarity but stress in relationships. You’ve dealt with fascinating but unpredictable people, and your links have gone on and off like a light switch. That ends now: for eight years to come, this “unpredictability factor” will quiet down (but still exist in finances and sex). For fifteen years, spirituality, depth, sometimes confusion but a growth-oriented confusion, enters relationships. If single, you are likely to fall in love in a completely different way. Investments, sexual desires begin to enter your thoughts midweek: act soon, not late March.
      
Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Sunday/Monday, to some degree, show you what to expect in relationships for the three months ahead. This whole month shows you what is ending in work, and what is beginning in work and relationships, for years to come. Okay, that’s cryptic. For the next eight years, relationships become true, loving, laughing, friendly, stressful, unpredictable. If single, you’ll likely find your true love – or one of them. For fifteen years (technically starting early April) you’ll find your “true vocation.” It might be in film, charity, spirituality, pharmacology. Gentle love, late week. 

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 22
Tackle chores Sunday/Monday. Fresh faces and opportunities arrive Tuesday to Thursday – love might be in the air! Large finances, secrets and sexual promptings stir you Thursday night to Saturday – be a little cautious, especially Friday night. Don’t take big risks. This week starts eight years of slightly erratic employment and health factors: your employment prospects will improve in any area associated with food or shelter; for good health, you’ll need to avoid stress. April begins 15 years of true love prospects – but they might come early, this week and next! Chase beauty, art.

Sagittarius   Nov. 23-Dec. 21
You’re tired, in a wee hibernation mode until March 20 – pamper yourself, don’t overwork. Romance, charming kids, pleasure and creativity make Sunday/Monday interesting. Tackle chores midweek. Relationships are bitter-sweet (or affectionate and snarling) Friday/Saturday. Be diplomatic on the home front all March. Soon (April, technically, though it might have started even in 2010) a 15-year trend of “normalization” will enter your domestic sphere. You’ll find your true home. This Friday begins eight years of exciting, unexpected romantic, creative lightning bolts! 

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Communications, paperwork, details, errands, casual friends, short trips and curiosity fill this week and next. In the slowest, most gradual way, like water on blotting paper, this area of your life will grow for the next fifteen years. At the same time (perhaps illogically) your worries about money and income will fade. You enter eight years of “home excitement” this week. This can have a negative effect, bringing more stress to the home (so relax, exercise, guard digestion) and a positive one: money made from property, food/shelter areas. A big new life! Midweek joy, romance.

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Chase money this week and next. Don’t spend! A sea change is looming in your earnings area. For the next 15 years, your income will stabilize (despite your worries!) – in fact, you’ll hit the “central channel” of your life’s earnings trends. Your income will tend to expand in these (and similar areas): government, welfare, social work, hospitals, institutions, sympathy, film, pharmacology, assembly lines, interest rates, oceans, sea food, gas/oil, hydrology.... This week begins eight years of friendly meetings, travel, communications – love starts to become possible! Rest midweek.

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
From this week onward, the tension, excitement, nervous energy and restlessness of the past seven years will fade, to be replaced by 15 years of expanding consciousness, more sleep, more dreams, expanding spirituality. Nuance, poetic feelings, indescribable, subtle joys will become your everyday companions. Others will be inexplicably drawn to you. Rely more on your intuition, less on logic. You’ll see beyond the petty things of life. You’ll begin to wonder if money and power might be the wrong goals. But chase money Sunday! Travel midweek. Soak up nature Friday/Saturday.
