ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS JUNE 5 – 11, 2011 All times/dates are PDT. LEO, from June 4, 2011 to mid-June 2012, your luck will surge in career, ambition, status, and prestige relationships. You could be voted president of your service club, or appointed to a management role at work. This will be the best year for your career since 1999/2000. Your work will be a bit harder and longer than usual, but your accomplishments will line up to support your ambitions. Higher-ups will notice your increased efforts, and stand ready to reward you with opportunities, a new position, more responsibility, etc. What you achieve this year can last for decades. If you’re approaching marriage, your future parents-in-law approve of you strongly. Your own parents stand proud when they see you, and are more willing than most years to respond to your requests with generosity. (Even judges, police and such authorities will tend to favor you.) You can find that your creative, romantic, or speculative talents – your ability to take a risk – or an educational, legal, international or media/publishing element – contribute luckily to your standing. It’s a great year to start your own business or to invest in your skills. If you’re single, you might “marry up” or otherwise greet some upward draft in life that would not usually be lumped in with “career.” So do take advantage of your luck to start this new phase in a positive, fruitful direction! CANCER, your new luck cycle began June 4, 2011 and runs to June 11, 2012. You face one of the luckiest scenarios of any sign these 13 months. Wishes will come true, especially those involving your work and career. But your biggest luck will be social. Your popularity will surge, light romance and flirtations will occur. Make and accept invitations. Entertainment and fun arise everywhere. This is a splendid time to join a new social circle, club or organization, political, service, sports or other-oriented. The people you meet now, and any group you join, can benefit your life for years to come. These new people open vistas of understanding that never leave you. You might meet your future mate in these new circles. Not all relationships will be easy, for you’re in a 15-year period in which others might be a bit overbearing, secretive and stubborn. But one of these stubborn people could turn out to be your life-long love! In love as in everything now, including fame (which can come to some Cancers) the trick is to be opportunistic, rather than deflated by obstacles. It would be hard to find a luckier year. Life looks and feels brighter; optimism fills your heart and makes you glad to get up every morning! Start Nothing: Before 8:03 a.m. Sun., 8:27 a.m. to 12:33 p.m. Tues., 1:13 a.m. to 3:31 p.m. Thurs., and 1:04 a.m. to 5:33 p..m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 These weeks are easy but busy, filled with messages, paperwork, details and trips. Romance, pleasure, beauty and a winning streak visit Sunday to Tuesday morning – but don’t gamble with your income or possessions Monday p.m. Work and health concerns call Tuesday noon to early Thursday – plunge in early; your steady approach could trigger a lucky “wind at your back” influence, a bit of cosmic aid. Relationships start sweetly Thursday p.m., but they turn to confusion or misunderstanding this night, then right themselves (perhaps turning to love!) by Friday p.m. Plan accordingly. Taurus April 20-May 20 The emphasis lies on earnings, possessions, rote learning, and sensuality. Your energy and charisma levels are good, your effectiveness high. And a cheerfulness about your monetary position in the world is stealing over you. In the twelve months ahead, you can make some excellent investment or financial decisions, can achieve physical gratification, and a partner’s income could improve, perhaps immensely! Your only “scourge” will be the tendency to put on weight (or to be arrogant due to your success). Be restful Sunday/Monday. Romance, pleasure arrive Tuesday p.m. to Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20 Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are tops! Someone who is not free to dally might “befriend” you (quite recently, now or soon) – this could turn into a year-long affair, making you desire marriage. But it’s doomed to disappoint, so remain honest, reject triangles. You will also be befriended by someone “unromantically” – or by an agency. You will be welcomed and aided by governments this year ahead. Start important projects this week. Sunday/Monday bring travel, messaging. Land, home succeed Tuesday/Wednesday. Romance “up and down” Thursday-Saturday – chase it Friday p.m. Cancer June 21-July 22 You’re in a quiet, low-energy month, but your hopes remain high, and friends still call – those hopes and friends are going to swell over the twelve months ahead, until your popularity reaches a 13-year peak, and your hopes burst into dreams fulfilled! But for now, accept a few weeks of quietude and recuperation. Meditate, contemplate and plan. Be charitable, spiritual, fulfill your obligations and deal with government agencies. Chase money Sunday/Monday. (Buy technology Sunday.) Paperwork, travel and messaging arise Tuesday to Thursday. Home, garden, kids Thursday onward. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Wishes come true this week and next, Leo! You’re still dealing with pressures on career, status and ambition fronts. Here, favour towards you continues until Thursday, but impatience and a critical attitude continue until June 20. Be diplomatic and eager to please, because the twelve months ahead can boost your career and status in the world in a lucky way – you could rise to a peak you’ve never achieved before! This influence can also expand problems – so don’t create any with impatience, ill-will or (especially) unethical or illegal speech/action now to June 20. All’s good! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 The accent lies on career, ambitions, prestige relationships and your status in the community, world. Generally all is well here, and productive, especially Tuesday and Friday (work or schmooze late!) and June 16/17. But your mind continues to contemplate bigger horizons, religious ones, or foreign climes, or intellectual or love matters. These have turned lucky, and will expand luckily over the twelve months ahead. But short-term (until June 20) continue to avoid legal hassles, especially over sexual situations, debt and investments. You succeed midweek! Chase money Friday. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 The emphasis lies on legalities, religion, far travel, culture (rituals) higher education, broadmindedness, compassion and love. Lingering “threads” (vines) of recent research, sexual (perhaps verboten) attractions, investments, finances and debt, deep health concerns, and lifestyle changes still creep around you. Neither cut these off nor deeply commit to them yet. There is a “partner” in there: but perhaps an illicit one. This whole zone has very recently turned lucky, and will expand or present you with providential opportunities over the twelve months ahead. Stay honest! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 The accent lies on depths, mysteries, research, sexual desires, subconscious urges, health diagnosis, dream analysis and occultism, large finances and lifestyle changes. It’s an “all or nothing” time – you either commit, or break off. If hesitating about commitment to someone who’s been around awhile, remember that your true love decade has just begun. A bird in the hand might not be worth two in the bush. Partnerships of all kinds, business and love, meet huge luck in the twelve months ahead – that luck just began last Saturday. Study your future Tuesday p.m. to Thursday a.m. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 The emphasis lies on relationships, opportunities and opposition, love and war. Everything’s aboveboard – friends and enemies are open, honest. Relocation might occupy your thoughts – the best, most fortunate time in a quarter-century for this will occur from June 2012 to July 2013 – why rush it? Some “trailing tasks” are a hold-over from May: just complete them. Realize your work and duties will expand greatly over the twelve months ahead – with commensurate rewards. Sunday/Monday are sweet, gentle. Be ambitious midweek. Your hopes, popularity rise Thursday p.m. onward! Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 This week and next pile work on your shoulders – and health, diet concerns. That’s okay, nothing you can’t handle; all will flow fairly smoothly. (Take care in both areas Monday and Thursday nights.) Your luck is starting to grow in romantic, creative, pleasurable, speculative and child-oriented zones – it will last until summer 2012. You might neither see nor sense this for a long while, then suddenly, an event occurs. Be open, ready – and innocent enough to believe! Sunday/Monday bring secrets and money decisions. Midweek’s gentle, wise. Be ambitious Thursday night onward! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 The focus lies on romance, creative ventures, art, beauty, pleasure, vacation, risk and speculation, and child-oriented projects. But these are nothing compared to the huge year-long streak of the same that will arrive by mid-2012 – one that will fulfill a major life-wish! Prepare for that time by building a secure platform psychologically, emotionally and in concrete terms (e.g., buy a house). Your luck in real estate, domesticity, with children, security, retirement, gardening, Mother Nature – will reach a decade high from June 22, 2011 to mid-June , 2012. Don’t start early! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 The emphasis lies on home, domesticity, real estate, retirement, security, diet and nutrition, gardening, parks and nature. Be sluggish, rest, pamper yourself. Soon, you’re going to be very busy – for a year! (Not stressfully busy – smoothly active, travelling, talking, writing, etc.) In fact, you’re busy already – but don’t burn out (or burn money) in this before June 21. Chores confront you Sunday to Tuesday morn. Relationships bring both hope and irritation Tuesday noon to Thursday noon – it’s mostly good! Secrets, temptations and large finances come Thursday eve onward. www.astralreflections.com. Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 416-686-5014. /30/
