ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
MARCH 16 - 22, 2003

	All times/dates are PST.
	Last week Uranus, planet of excitement, electricity, stubborn fanaticism, unpredictability, revolt, humanitarianism, alertness, insomnia, genius and divergent thinking - of gentle kindness and dictatorial tyranny - entered Pisces for seven-years.
 Until 2010, you CANCERS will find mental alertness dissipates the fogs of the past. You'll emerge from a cave in which mysteries, lust and greed fought their dark battles - and, often, left you the loser, in finances and love. Now the rebuilding begins, for those who can accept what happened. Emotionally and intellectually, new light dawns - you're going to feel more aware, yet peaceful, as if you can see far over soft sunlit valleys. This period won't be the best for higher learning in a formal setting because your mind will be too inventive and your conclusions too unpredictable to fit well into the careful deliberateness of universities and colleges. But you will learn very swiftly "on the job," and you'll travel, contemplate or debate "elevated" topics. Grief's gone, fun's here!  
	LEO, Uranus, your partnership planet, has caused seven years of "interesting" relationships. (Your experience could have ranged from mild friction with another, to all-out "war," to sweet bemusement, to puzzling disruption, to all-out, stunning love.) Now through 2010, you'll meet unpredictable circumstances, reactions and events in "net worth" areas such as investments, mortgages and family finances; in "mystery" areas such as research, occultism, investigation, gossip, subconscious desires, secrets and health diagnosis; and in "oops, I'm committed" areas such as sexual intimacy, pregnancy, lust, extramarital affairs, power plays, promises, political collusion, etc. In general, whatever occurred in your crucial relationships in the last seven years now enters a deeper, more private zone. If you broke up, self-examination comes. If you met someone, married, now the true sharing (and shouldering of responsibilities and growth) comes. If you signed a contract, now it must be fulfilled. 
	VIRGO, you've just entered seven years of relationship excitement. For a clue, read the part in brackets in Leo's message above. At times, relationships might be too intense for you, too unpredictable. If so, back away and relax. One thing's for sure: loneliness is over and done: others will almost assault you with friendliness! People will enter and exit your life in a capricious, unexpected manner. You might marry or become deeply involved with a co-worker. Many unexpected opportunities in business, new job openings and sudden relocations arise (probably due to work). You can feel very tense at times, so plan to get fresh air and outdoor exercise. 


Start Nothing: Before 5:52 a.m. Sun., 2:35 a.m. to 6:43 a.m. Tues., 7:02 p.m. Wed. to 6:38 a.m. Thurs., and 8:30 p.m. Fri. to 7:33 a.m. Sat.

Aries   March 21-April 19
Work and health concerns fill Sunday/Monday. You'll get a lot accomplished Sunday, but go slow, be patient Monday - obstacles are everywhere. Relationships might bring snarls Tuesday, but on Wednesday they'll offer pleasure, agreements, luck and, later, stability. Be diplomatic, and chase someone/something! The mysteries of life surround you Thursday/Friday - strictly avoid taking chances with the law, and realize selfishness always leads to illusion. But if you're sincere, sharing, you could meet someone sweet and lasting! Be mellow Saturday - your charisma's rising! The month ahead brings surging energy and effectiveness!

Taurus   April 20-May 20
Romantic, creative, speculative and pleasure urges call you Sunday/Monday - but they run into two long-standing walls. The money/practical  wall will dissolve this summer. The other "wall" is really a question: Do you want romance, or deeply consequential sex? To change your life, or create?  Pleasure, or growth? You can have either of any pair, but not both, through 2007. Tackle work or health needs Tuesday (difficulty) and Wednesday (very productive). Relationships puzzle but bless you, Thursday/Friday. Sex, investments exhibit surface luck Saturday: look deeper, farther. Romance shouldn't be secret!

Gemini   May 21-June 20
Career pressures ease. A month of social delights, flirtations and life's optimistic sunshine starts Thursday! Your home and family, soul and nature all flow well for you Sunday, but all these hit problems Monday - be patient, go slow. Your romantic or creative side rises Tuesday/Wednesday - this could "fool" you into a bad investment or nudge you to chase the wrong (sexy) person Tuesday. You'll be dealing with the "right one" Wednesday - know it, act on it. Work/health demand time Thursday/Friday. Saturday brings intriguing relationships - soon, the best will come!

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Your dreamy, mellow, abstract, wisdom-seeking mood fades by Thursday, as you charge into a month of ambition, pressure, status concerns and relations with VIPs. This month ahead will be fiery, fractional, difficult if you attempt to go it alone, or force peers against their will. But it can be very successful if you find a good partner, co-operate and show diplomacy. A career opportunity will certainly arise! Speak/write/drive carefully Sunday/Monday. Home's argumentative Tuesday, a loving, sweet place Wednesday. Romance calls Thursday/Friday: past pitfalls are gone, but some "mirages" remain.

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
Avoid sex, spending, and health/accident risks through Tuesday. Wednesday brings a happy trip or conversation, sweet relationship news. Late week begins a month of "elevated" desires - you want to travel afar, to study, to know meaningful love rather than mere "animal lust." Love kindles dreamy pleasure - but anyone first met March 4 - April 20 will bring "wedding complications." Work and health needs will also conflict with love, travel or education: find a balance. April 3 onward, romance will begin to march forward; April 15 onward, it marches forward wisely.

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Your charisma and energy soar Sunday/Monday - use these to solve problems: seek, ask! A sexual or financial "success" awaits you Sunday night: but it comes wrapped in a reputation or career predicament: go slow! Chase lucky sexual and money gambles, and simple purchases Wednesday (not Tuesday!). Thursday begins a month of mysteries, depths, secrets, research, lust, subconscious desires (seeming coincidence) large finances, commitments and consequences. Tread carefully: fractious circumstances exist, but so do potential joy, success. Major new relationships, other opportunities loom: there's no rush. Stay calm, my friend.

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Lie low Sunday/Monday, rest, watch. A good family, home or security impulse comes Sunday p.m., but work, tools, and legalities need caution, especially Monday. Your energy and charisma surge Tuesday (careful, home/relationship friction) and Wednesday, when your charms win affection and security! Someone admires you! Be semi-cautious with money, spending and sexuality Thursday/Friday - a deep, affectionate and practical union or project might arrive. (You just have to pursue it.) Thursday begins a month of marriage, partnerships, opportunities, possible relocation, opposition, contracts and diplomacy. Don't talk in "futile circles" - act. 

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
You feel social Sunday/Monday - flirtations, political, networking, group projects succeed Sunday eve and Monday night, but not Monday daytime. Schedule accordingly. Retreat, rest and contemplate Tuesday/Wednesday. Tuesday night has "communications" (and driving) problems, but red tape, governmental, spiritual and charitable projects succeed superbly Wednesday. Visit a psychic or advisor. Your charisma and energy surge Thursday/Friday - you'll attract attention, admiration, and could grab a nice, stable little investment, object d'art, furniture, or piece of real estate! But don't buy important things Saturday - one year later, you'll say, why did I?

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Last week was tough, but you settled many things. Wasteful or untenable situations and relationships ended. This lets you nurture the worthwhile ones. That nurturing gets a big boost Thursday onward, when a month of child-raising joys, creativity, romance, beauty, and risk-taking begins. Realize good people have entered your life since October 2001. Seek a money/career goal "independently" Sunday. Avoid ambitions, VIPs Monday. Optimism, social delights arrive "unreliably" Tuesday, sweetly and luckily Wednesday! Rest, lie low Thursday/Friday. You attract everyone Saturday! Money flows to you all March/April - bank it!

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan 19
Your sexual magnetism, will power, assertiveness and "executive  talent" continue at a two-year height (through April). Use this "can do" attitude to realign family, home, real estate, to rebuild your career foundations or sales territory. This summer through mid-2005 will bring solid but slow, deep opportunities: to grasp them you will need to be standing on your own firm base, financially, physically and emotionally. Build it now! Avoid legal or international zones Sunday/Monday. Your career's disfavored Tuesday, superbly favored Wednesday! You can sense your future Thursday/Friday - be optimistic, friendly!

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Treat travel and communications cautiously all March/April. The wrong remark, gossip, aggressive driving, etc., can create an enemy or put you in a vulnerable spot. Don't let a friend get too close to your lover or spouse (and don't deserve disloyalty!). Sign nothing. Avoid investments, sexual and financial commitments Sunday/Monday. Understanding, love, intellectual, travel themes meet some delay/problem Tuesday, but sail forth to blue skies and golden hearts Wednesday! Show your talents on career fronts Thursday/Friday. Your hopes, plans, happiness and social life expand Saturday - joy needs no haste!

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
Your magnetism and energy remain high, but Sunday/Monday present you with a bit of relationship rebellion. Someone drags their feet, won't follow your lead. Look at the truth behind any power struggle you engage in - this helps you to avoid losing (or energy-wasting) situations for the five years ahead.  Research, lust, investments or making a commitment seduce you away from your future Tuesday, but lead to a sweet reward and wide future Wednesday! Be wise, mellow, loving Thursday/Friday. Career/status luck arrives Saturday - finally, the dark cloud is lifting here!
