ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
FEBRUARY 24 – MARCH 2, 2013  

	All times/dates are PST.
	AQUARIUS, “large” describes your romantic potential from mid-2012 to mid-2013. This  can even come true literally: you could be attracted to someone bigger than usual, taller or wider. You will also be attracted to world travellers, thinkers, scholars, lawyers You could consider someone a friend, or a flirty friend, even a friend with benefits – but find that this person has somehow captured your whole heart. You might face a choice between several “light” loves, and one major, serious affair. (Chose the serious one.) Romance can be found in any group – political, entertainment, sports, meditation – and in libraries, schools, transportation centers, foreign countries, law, publishing or insurance offices, religious premises, cultural venues or social passage rituals (weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc). March/April bring many contacts; June strongly boosts your romantic courage – if in doubt, err on the side of risking an approach – you’re luckier in love than you might think!
	July onward emphasizes work more than delicious dalliances, but this second half has its moments. Though big chores face you in August, sparks light between you and another. By September, these sparks could become fire, as relationships intensify and your sexual desire rises. The overall tone has changed: romance gives way to more mature association: marriage themes enter and October could bring a wedding. (That’s more probable in late 2013, though.) November, sexy talk. December, friends multiply.
	PISCES, you’ve  been very lucky in domestic and property matters since mid-2012, and will continue so until late June. If you’re married, this could bring the great creation of love: a child – or simply cozy cheerfulness among your family. If you’re single, this first half does aid love, but indirectly: it promotes the deep physical rest and soul rejuvenation that needs to precede any major, successful love.  And that love will come very soon – July 2013 to July 2014 will prove to be one of the luckiest romantic periods of your life – and perhaps the most significant. That’s because you have, in the larger picture, entered a huge decade of self-empowerment. You’re becoming yourself. This creates the basis for the healthiest, most compatible love – and July onward gives you the first extended opportunity to find it. (There will be many other love cycles, too – most beginning in the late summer of every odd-numbered year.)
	Old flames might appear in February/March, July and October/November. Passion – and your romantic courage – run high July/August. Relationships intensify October/November, when you might face an all-or-nothing situation. All year, opt for a profound rather than a casual link. Foreign countries, degree-granting schools, and centers of ideas will tend to introduce you to “marriageable love.”

Start Nothing: 8:50 p.m. to 10:52 p.m. Sun., 10:13 a.m. Tues. to 5:02 a.m. Wed., and 0:37 a.m. Thurs. to 9:33 a.m. Fri.

Aries   March 21-April 19
Rest, lie low, deal with head office, government agencies, institutions, charitable and spiritual  organizations.  Start no new projects nor relationships before March 17. Instead, reprise (or fix) the old, or stick with the ongoing. Sunday’s filled with beauty and pleasant notions, but your advances might be playfully steered aside. Tackle overdue work Monday/Tuesday. Relationships prove important midweek – a great conversation (or news article) and a spiritual awakening or dreamy state occur. Seek changes, health diagnosis, realistic investments and/or intimacy Friday/Saturday.

Taurus   April 20-May 20
Your popularity grows. Optimism, wish fulfillment, light romance and entertainment increase this week and the next few. Old friends return, old wishes are granted, and former flirty, light romantic contacts reappear. New friends and new projects, if started now to March 16, will tend to twirl brightly for awhile, then fizzle. Sunday’s for home, garden, rest, and rejuvenation. Romance calls Monday/Tuesday – your creative, speculative and expressive skills rise up. Tackle familiar chores midweek. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em Friday/Saturday – great things come from partnering!

Gemini   May 21-June 20
Start no new projects, ventures or relationships before March 17. Until then, protect ongoing projects, especially in career and dealings with authorities. They, and bosses, and parents, are gripped by indecision until then. Be ambitious (not ambiguous). Shore up your position, secure recent advances, Monday/Tuesday – or rest and nurture family, for they are the support for your ambitions. Earlier, Sunday’s for short trips, friends and curiosity. Romance and creativity lure you Wednesday/Thursday: but they conflict with your need to grow. You get a lot of work done Friday/Saturday.

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Chase money, buy/sell Sunday – garage sales intrigue.  (Don’t buy anything big and important.) Short trips, details, communications and paperwork fill Monday/Tuesday (avoid  government forms). Focus on home, kids, real estate, security and nutrition midweek. Friday/Saturday hold romantic/creative success– which fits superbly into February/March’s broad cycle of love, cultural rituals, far travel, wisdom and higher learning. You could fall in love! But remember: start nothing, project nor relationship, before March 17. The best romance is ongoing, or is embodied in an old flame.

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
You’ve entered the realm of mystery, lust, health diagnosis and hidden power plays. Something might return from the past in this arena – perhaps a former sexy playmate, perhaps a chance to live a lifestyle you once hungered for, perhaps a former investment opportunity. DO research, ask questions, follow the mystery, and deal with ongoing situations/people or those returning from the past. DON’T start a new relationship, project, investment or venture. All this, to March 17. You’re the subtle star Sunday. Chase money Monday/Tuesday. Paperwork, errands midweek. Home, family Friday on.

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
DON’T start new projects or relationships before March 17. Stick with the ongoing, and situations that return from the past – including a possible return of a former partner or someone you wished was. However, this few-week interval seems designed more to make you ponder the big picture of relationships, than to re-instate an old one permanently. It’s as if you’re on a bridge to a very different land of love, and are stalled: not to turn you back, but to make you think. Lie low Sunday. Tackle everything with confidence Monday/Tuesday.  Money, midweek. Casual friends late week.

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Much work faces you, but tackle only routine, ongoing or formerly neglected chores before March 17. DON’T start big new projects, employ new staff, nor buy machinery, tools, computers – lemons abound. A former job might be offered. If you’re seeking employment, canvas former bosses. Sunday’s bright, hopeful, happy. Retreat and rest Monday/Tuesday --  government-related tasks go well. (Though they, too, face delay.) Your energy and pizzazz return strongly midweek, but luck (in love, learning, law and travel) mixes with domestic problems. Your money luck soars Friday/Saturday.

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
This week goes from better to best! (But don’t be tempted to start a new project or relationship before March 17.) Sunday’s for ambition and community reputation: elevate yours by joining, helping. Optimism, popularity, wish fulfillment and general delight fill Monday/Tuesday: an old flame or flirty friend could reappear . You’re on a month-long winning streak of romance, creativity, sports or pleasure. You can renew contacts on many levels, including business. Retreat midweek to rest and contemplate. Your energy and charisma soar Friday/Saturday – you’ll succeed, attract love.

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Don’t start new projects or relationships before March 17, Sage, especially in family, domestic, nutrition, real estate, retirement or security zones. (E.g., you could find new renovations have left no room for the basement stairs.) Stick to ongoing projects, or situations from the past. Clear away neglected home-related chores. Sunday’s mellow, thoughtful, cultural. Show your ambition Monday/Tuesday (but start nothing new!). Happiness, optimism and  friends fill midweek. Success assured with institutions, government, meditation, rest, health and research Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Start nothing new before March 17, Cap, especially in mail, computer, telephony, office systems, stationery, or travel. Don’t buy a car or any equipment. You might rediscover a lost  book, letter, photo – or an  entire “lost acquaintance.” (Don’t invest too heavily in the last.) Sunday’s secrets will open, if you diplomatically push. A  mellow, understanding mood flows over you Monday/Tuesday – love (or the hope of love) is possible! Be ambitious midweek, display your skills: luck accompanies you. Social delights, popularity, light romance succeed splendidly Friday/Saturday.

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Money’s just an abstract way to mete out power, security, position, food, shelter, clothing, medical, dental...and most love is entwined with these. So chase money now to March 19, Aquarius. You won’t be neglecting love, but supporting it. But don’t start a new project or venture. Stick with ongoing dollar situations, or reprise those from the past. (E.g., sell an old article, or seek a job where you worked before.) Sunday’s made exciting by a sensual person. Sex, secrets and finances, Monday/Tuesday. Understanding, mellow love midweek. Ambition, career Friday/Saturday.

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
Your energy, luck and charisma remain high, Pisces. Remember, start nothing before March 17. Until then, you’ll remain indecisive about goals, partnerships, opportunities, relocation, and love. Stick with ongoing projects, or reprise old ones – avoid the new. Everything’s smooth this week. Chores call Sunday. Relationships, opportunities and goals arise Monday/Tuesday – though excitement occurs, remember: no new links or projects. Life’s mysteries emerge midweek, but hold few rewards if you solve them. Friday/Saturday bring gentle love, intellectual venues and superb luck.
