ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
NOVEMBER 27 – DECEMBER 3, 2011 

	All times/dates are PST.
	SAGITTARIUS is the sign of expansion. Many Sagittarian women are beautifully and sensually plump: Scarlett Johansen, Anna Nicole Smith, even the not so beautiful Britney Spears. Sagittarians often have rounded facial features – nose, chin, cheeks, even the brow is rounded in an expression of friendliness. 
	GEMINI people often look very thoughtful, as if considering some profundity. But frequently the unrevealed question is: should I move the couch? Say yes to coffee? Ship my stuff or drive it there? Still, these “surface” ponderings often have huge implications for Gemini, as they see them affecting matters far into the future, or far across social and personality realms. Should I move the couch? really means, to Gemini: how will this affect the sitters’ perceptions? Who do I really want to sit and talk to? Who am I, really? Does heaven exist? 
	For AQUARIUS, questions and answers are very definite, clear, and unchangeable. The answer is simply yes, no, or “we have to invent a new way.” Period. No greys. In the last fifteen years, though, this sign has been more indecisive than usual – and hasn’t liked being so. This era of indecision, passivity and (yes) spirituality will pass soon – technically, February, 2012. Soon, Aquarius will once again chase the person they want, demand the idealistic rights they want, and start all the revolutions they feel the world needs. Usually, this sign marries only once. Even twenty years after a divorce they will say to a new suitor: “Sorry, not marriage again. Been there, done that.” 
	You’ll seldom hear a LIBRA or LEO utter such words. These signs live for love, and will always try again. Though Gemini, VIRGO, Sagittarius or PISCES do not necessarily live for love, they also are quick to accept a second (or even a third or fourth) marriage. If an Aquarian has a Moon or ascendant (rising sign) in any of these signs, he/she will seldom refuse a second chance at marital bliss.
	SCORPIO is a deep and powerful lover, is usually extremely loyal and demands loyalty in return. If you cheat on a Scorpio, he/she is more likely to shoot your lover than you. You can always be re-won, forgiven and rehabilitated, thinks Scorpio. 
	You can find it hard to convince a CAPRICORN (especially a Cap woman) that you truly love him/her. As a result, they can be calculating and cool, can maintain a “wait and see” attitude for a long time. They want to be sure. Once Capricorn accepts and marries you, he/she becomes an extremely supportive mate, willing, even eager, to actively assist you in your career, your social obligations, family crises, etc. Capricorn is often one half of a “power couple.” Caps prefer making love in total darkness. They love caves, rocks and dry mountains.
	
Start nothing: 3:01 p.m. to 11:02 p.m. Mon., 3:27 a.m. to 6:45 a.m. Thurs., and 10:06 a.m. Fri. to 5:51 p.m. Sat.

Aries   March 21-April 19
The accent remains on international affairs, education, broadcasting, intellectual and legal matters, cultural affairs and social rituals. You feel more compassionate, understanding and wise than usual. Gentle love is favoured. Start nothing important before December 13. Be ambitious Sunday (higher ups are on your side) but not Monday (peers who are a bit more elevated than you, oppose you). You feel social, your popularity, optimism rise, and your flirtatious side emerges, Tuesday/Wednesday. Retreat, rest Thursday to Saturday. Careful Friday morning: anger, accidents possible.

Taurus   April 20-May 20
The main accent lies on deep forces and urges, mysteries, collusion, sex/intimacy, large finances, on health diagnosis, research, lifestyle choices, change, commitment and consequence. Start nothing important in these or any zones before December 13. (E.g., avoid a new sexual affair, stock purchase, diet.) Good, fortunate, “massive” changes are occurring now, channelled and programmed by life. You don’t need to improve on these before December 13. Love, wisdom visit Sunday (splendid) and Monday (disappointing). Be ambitious midweek. Happiness, hopefulness Thursday to Saturday!

Gemini   May 21-June 20
Start nothing important before December 13. Instead, reprise past associations. An old flame or ex-partner might return. This won’t lead to marriage, but could be fun for awhile – and cure your heart (which, though not broken, is bending). A former opportunity might also open its doors again – a “lost” relocation appeals again. However, it’s best not to change residences before July 3, 2012 – unless you plan to move again after that date. Secrets, sexual and financial urges arise luckily Sunday before mid-afternoon, unluckily after, and Monday. Be careful with higher-ups Friday.

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Work and health concerns demand your attention all week. Protect these from missed appointments, shortages and mistakes. Don’t start anything before December 13, particularly in these areas. DON’T buy machinery or tools of any kind until mid-December. A former job might return. An exciting meeting could occur before mid-afternoon Sunday – it’s lucky – but Monday brings refusals, denials. Changes, mysteries and “subterranean attractions” come midweek – all’s well. A gentle, understanding mood envelopes you Thursday to Saturday – but watch Friday morning’s misunderstandings. 

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
Avoid new starts before December 13, especially in romantic, speculative, child-oriented and creative zones. (Results would be an “Unfinished Symphony.”)  However, reprising the past can yield successful results. An old flame might return this week or next, or you might chase him/her – someone you originally met on a social basis. Whether he/she shows it or not, you turn someone on Sunday (not Monday). Your work efforts yield career and other rewards Sunday (again, not Monday). Exciting meetings (or irksome disagreements) occur midweek. Sexual, financial lures arise late week. 

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Slow down, Virgo. Rest, take it easy. Focus energy and efforts on your home, children and security. Shore up foundations at work, in business. Attend to garden chores, repairs, and your soul. Start nothing new before December 13, especially in the areas just listed. Contemplate ending stale or burdensome associations, but don’t act on this yet. (You’ll change your mind.) Nostalgia arrives; so might messages from long lost family members. Romantic and pleasure notions fill Sunday (luckily) and Monday (disappointingly). Tackle chores midweek. Co-operation or opposition, late week.

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Don’t start new projects before December 13, Libra, especially in communications, writing, mail, travel and similar zones. DON’T buy a car or computer. Pay attention to schedules, have a Plan B ready for delays and missed appointments. Double-check, proofread. You might travel to revisit a former haunt – good. Don’t rewrite a former report, story, etc. – you’d end in confusion. Sunday’s excellent for home, family – Monday’s not. Romantic feelings and creative urges arise early midweek – a flirtatious friend might reappear. Tackle chores Thursday to Saturday; be safe Friday.

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Start nothing before December 13. Protect ongoing projects from delays and mistakes. Chase past money sources, former clients. A message, news or conversation Sunday could open a lucky money door – you might need to “partner up.” Your efforts meet refusals or disappointment Monday, though. You’ll succeed in home, family, security, gardening and retirement areas Tuesday/Wednesday. “Destiny” might alter a relationship. Your romantic, creative and pleasure-oriented side emerges Thursday to Saturday – good, but take care Friday morning, when romance and friendship might conflict.

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Your energy, enthusiasm, and charisma soar! Still, don’t start any important projects or relationships before December 13. Instead, apply this energy and charm to ongoing ventures, or to those which “return” from the past. You might be dealing with (or sought out by) a former partner or associate(s). Whether this will work or not is another question – he/she/they seems to conflict with your ambitions, as will be apparent soon. Your money picture brightens now into late December. Take a breather Thursday to Saturday: luxuriate in nature, home. Be diplomatic with VIPs Friday.

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Lie low, rest, contemplate. Start nothing important before December 13. An overdue or “returning” matter connected to the government, a large corporation, or an institution could succeed now. E.g., you can now solve a tax situation, or can successfully re-submit an application. In these, a legal or educational flaw might exist – you won’t get beyond this, so resolve it rather than cover it up. You might return to a therapeutic program – good, for awhile Your energy and luck rise a bit Sunday/Monday, but you can see your limits. Money’s available Tuesday/Wednesday – chase it.

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You’re looking toward the future, yet an influence pertaining until December 13 cautions against starting new projects or relationships – and even indicates that plans you make now will change later. What to do? Enjoy the people you’re with – and a possible returnee from the land of love. You’ll be happy, hopeful, popular and feted for the next three weeks. Take a restful stance Sunday/Monday. A secret ally, message, therapist or civil servant might bless you Sunday. Your energy and charisma soar Tuesday/Wednesday – enjoy! Money rules late week – good, but be careful Friday.

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
Start nothing new before December 13, especially in career, reputation, and business zones. Instead, stick with ongoing ventures and/or those returning from the past. (Be somewhat wary of past ventures/associations until December 6 – before this, old resentments might arise, or emotional attraction and ambitions mix in an unpredictable way.) Your hopes, optimism and popularity rise now to late January – mildly at first, strongly as time passes. A wish will come true, after you run a gauntlet of circumstances. Lie low midweek. Higher energy and success arrive Thursday-Saturday.
