ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
JUNE 10 – 16, 2012 

	All dates/times are PDT.
	CAPRICORN, the 13 months from early June 2012 to late June 2013 bring a wave of good luck to your work sphere. You might not think this luck is particularly good at first, as it piles a load of responsibilities on your shoulders. But there will be a triple outcome if you labour honestly and hard: 1) affection will rise between you and your co-workers; 2) you’ll earn more money through overtime, extra charges to clients, perhaps a pay raise, etc.; and 3) the work you accomplish to June 2013, will lead to major opportunities in the year beginning July 2013. You can find this year’s work expansion, and next year’s opportunities, will cluster around government, big corporations, agent work, management and administrative roles, or health and therapy fields, especially with international ties or a legal or travel “co-theme.” 
	During these 13 months, protect your health in a pro-active way: eat, dress and sleep sensibly. Keep the weight off your hips and thighs. 
	AQUARIUS, June 2012 to June 2013 could bring a splendid love affair. If you’re happily married or happily single, this period brings great luck and expansion in dealing with children, teaching, speculation, risk-taking, beauty, art and creativity. One theme will not be denied: pleasure. A Gemini or Sagittarian could be your love partner (or any sign, depending on your birth chart). A vacation on foreign shores is both likely and lucky. You can meet someone who is talkative, nervous, very quick-moving, yet strong, yet gentle. This applies even if you’re a man, as the woman who attracts you now will tend to have a healthy, solid presence, physically as well as emotionally. This is really a reflection of your own steadily growing “solidity” – the indecisions, fantasies and uncertainties of the past fifteen years are swiftly fading. You feel friendlier, and many short trips, conversations and casual friendships will occur – one might lead to a love that could last a lifetime.
	PISCES, the year from June to June, 2012-2013, blesses you in the realm of home, family, real estate, healing, gardening/agriculture, soul, nutrition, security and retirement. Anything you do to improve your domestic situation will pay off for many years to come, financially and/or emotionally. Buy furniture, landscape, renovate – or have a baby. If renting, use this luck to move to a more spacious, attractive place. If your nest egg’s small, buy a vacation campsite or a future retirement cottage. This period brings deep emotional and psychological healing, whether within yourself, or on a broader scale, such as family counselling. Let go of past grief and disappointment. 2012 brings a rebirth of your freshness, vitality, and optimism about life. Abandon stale or restricting people/projects now: nurture the new. The security and peace you establish will give you a platform of strength to meet the exciting romantic, creative, speculative or other adventures due to come from mid-2013 onward!


Start Nothing: 3:41 a.m. to 9:21 p.m. Mon., 8:09 p.m. Wed. to 9:22 a.m. Thurs., and 5:09 a.m. to 10:24 p.m. Sat.

Aries   March 21-April 19
The accent lies on travel, casual acquaintances, communications, paperwork and details. These things will balloon this week into the middle of next year. Think about upgrading your stationery, computer, car. Sunday/Monday are tiring – avoid confrontations, especially around your home or in restaurants. (Save crucial family conversations for Friday.) Your energy surges back Tuesday/Wednesday (but avoid confrontations these two days also). Thursday to Saturday are great for shopping, earning money, and sensual liaisons. (But results are elusive Saturday.) All week, be curious.

Taurus   April 20-May 20
Chase money, spend, seek more clients or a pay raise – this month starts a year of “swelled money.” (Remember, don’t spend big before September – unless you’re making a long-term investment for capital gain, not for income.) Sunday/Monday are filled with hope – you’ll be happy even though not much goes right. Not a lot goes right Tuesday/Wednesday, either – but you should be resting, in a quiet, contemplative mood anyway, so just relax and avoid making requests or confronting others. Your energy and charisma soar Thursday to Saturday, and luck accompanies you – start something!

Gemini   May 21-June 20
Your charisma, energy, clout and effectiveness ride a summer peak, Gemini. Your luck is climbing fast – for a year. Approach others. Maintain hope to September, then maintain top speed – you’ll race toward success. Be ambitious Sunday/Monday – but diplomatically, as many are raw-skinned now, waiting to throw a tantrum or a monkey wrench. Your optimism, popularity and love of life rise Tuesday/Wednesday – befriend others, without necessarily seeking practical ends. Thursday to Saturday bring a quiet respite: be alone, nap, plan, contact advisors, government, or the spiritual world.

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Sunday/Monday bring wisdom and a broad understanding – use these when bosses, parents, partners, lovers and/or events act contrarily. Careful driving, travelling. Let your ambitions rule Tuesday/Wednesday (if you don’t, higher-ups will tend to lean negatively on you). Though June is a low-energy, low charisma month for you, Thursday to Saturday might be an exception: yes, you’re weary, but luck walks with you in social, group, future-oriented, and/or humanitarian involvements. Investments, security and retirement prospects can gain from approaching head offices or civil servants. 

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
A light love affair could start, if it hasn’t already. (Almost any flirtation or “light romance” could turn into a full-bodied love affair between now and mid-2013.) Your hopes are high, your popularity grows; entertainment and good friends arrive. Join a group, issue and accept invitations. Sunday/Monday are mysterious, sexual, financial, and set up future changes in your life. Step cautiously, avoid belligerent people – careful driving. All this Tuesday, too, but now your mood (Tuesday/Wednesday) is serene, loving and compassionate. Be ambitious Thursday/Friday – luck’s good!

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Sunday/Monday emphasize relationships – step carefully, “explosions” and refusals are rife. The intimate side of links unfolds Tuesday (glitches) and Wednesday (neutral outlook). Not the best influence to make investments. Your gentle, loving, understanding side emerges Thursday to Saturday – and meets only benefits. This is a great few days to travel, or undertake legal, educational, intellectual, publishing or cultural actions. All week, the general theme lies on ambition, prestige, career, dealings with higher-ups. This zone is growing increasingly lucky – for twelve months.

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The accent remains on legal, educational, far travel, cultural, publishing and similar themes, Libra – and on love. Trust yourself – you see things clearly, if perhaps a little soberly. You can see or sense the “final result” of almost anything now – of a property move/purchase, of a relationship, old or new, etc. Let this determine whether you plunge in or stay out. Think far, far result. Work/health Sunday/Monday. Relationships are attractive but mixed (luck-wise)Tuesday/Wednesday. Be diplomatic. Sexual, intimate, research and financial success come Thursday to early Saturday.

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Mysteries, detective work, big finances, lifestyle changes, sexual urges, health diagnoses, commitments and consequences are the general flavour of this week. These meet glitches (or immovable barriers) Sunday to Tuesday (perhaps connected to work or health demands). Temptations in this entire spectrum (sexual, financial, research, etc.) have existed since April 2011, and last to August 31. Yet a huge luck also enters these areas Monday, to last a year. If you’re astute, ethical, riches await! Exciting meetings, opportunities, face you Thursday to Saturday – be open, friendly!

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The accent remains on relationships of all kinds, from a chance meeting on the street to a life-long partnership. Great good luck enters this area Monday, to last a year. But until August 30, be mildly independent, don’t “slide” into a marriage (or relocate, or sign a contract) just because it’s easy or others prod you. If in doubt, stay out: there will be plenty of time and luck from September into mid-2013. If single, you’ll likely meet mate material in that period. Monday/Tuesday illustrate the problems with/barriers to premature embrace. Work succeeds Thursday/Friday.

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The accent remains on work and health, Cap. Old chores return to be redone. Barriers to success exist before Thursday, so proceed with ordinary caution. (Be careful if working at home, with machinery, Monday/Tuesday.) Usually, extra work demands would cease by June 19 or 20, but this year shows growing work influences/projects right into mid-2013. To succeed, take what comes through August, then actively expand your work sphere September onward. Romantic notions float to you Thursday to Saturday – send someone flowers, or head to singles’ venues – a nice luck accompanies you.

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The romantic theme continues, Aquarius. If you’re single, the path is scattered with little glitches (or temptations to cut corners or grab someone who’s unattainable) before September. Yet, starting Monday, your good luck swells in this arena – right into mid-2013. So, good luck with caution through August, then good luck unbounded! (An example of the “wrong path” shows before Wednesday.) Monday/Tuesday feature earnings, purchases, and casual sex – careful, lemons abound in the last two. Avoid new investments. Home, real estate, retirement plans are great Thursday-Saturday dawn.

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
The focus remains on home, children, security, food, retirement – all the basics. A former (neglected or abandoned) plan about these might return. Your luck in these areas will soar now (Monday) through mid-2013, but glitches and pitfalls await the impatient and greedy before September.  (Some of these glitches might confront you Monday/Tuesday.) Your energy and charisma rise Sunday/Monday – but don’t start big new projects. Money, buying/selling arise midweek – it’s slow to frustrating, so pace yourself, wait if necessary. Thursday onward brings happy meetings, lucky trips.
