ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2006

	All times/dates are PDT.
	GEMINI, the 13 months from November 24 2006 to December 18, 2007 bring you a new luck cycle, one that offers huge opportunities, new horizons, and the beginning of a "new world" in relationships. Think of yourself as a farmer, and sow your seeds (start projects, relationships, etc.) before August 31. After this, your luck continues in ongoing situations, but new starts will NOT be lucky. (If you started something new in 2005, or earlier in 2006, and it's become a real struggle, drop it and find a new plan, new project, from November 24 onward. Note: a project started in 2001 might now succeed!)
	This luck cycle brings almost every blessing through others, so your ability to be diplomatic, to persuade others, to listen to and answer others' needs and desires, becomes the key to real success. If you're single, this period (again, before September 2007) can bring marriage, or a meeting with someone exciting who could become a life mate. If you're unhappily married, the same cycle can bring divorce and freedom. (Seldom does the same luck cycle bring divorce and remarriage, but it can happen.) If you're happily married, your mate will be imbued with an extra helping of optimism, humor, and expansiveness - and luck, which in turn blesses you! No matter what your status, you'll face good luck in relocation, new relationships, business partnerships, friendships, dealings with the public, contracts and negotiations, and in jumping on new opportunities generally. Most significantly, 2007 begins the final erosion of the barriers and frustrations you've experienced in these areas (and relationships generally) for the past 12 years.
	CANCER, 2007 - specifically, November 24/06 to December 18/07 - brings an expansion of opportunities in work, health, service trades, machinery, renovations and dealings with dependents. You might work overtime, or moonlight with a second job. If you're unemployed, this is the best time in years to seek work (before September, not after). You'll find co-workers and colleagues helpful and co-operative. You might even form a beneficial partnership with one or more of them, or a boss or co-worker might lead you to better work or a pay raise. This is the kind of year when Cancer workers (or managers) might buy out the owners of a factory or other business. If you own a business utilizing machinery of any kind, this is an exceptional period to expand, or refurbish or replace equipment. It's a superb time to hire new staff. (Again, act before September.)
	It's also an excellent time to ensure your dependents' future. This can range from establishing educational opportunities for your children, to finding a care center for an aged relative. Be generous and helpful - it will rebound to your credit later.

Start Nothing: 2:01 p.m. to 11:16 p.m. Mon., 1:18 am to 12:19 p.m. Thurs., and after 10:58 p.m. Sat. 

Aries   March 21-April 19
This is your last week of crucial relationships, new horizons, new opportunities, public dealings and negotiations. It continues to be a time of key co-operation or challenge - just remember, others hold the ace, the power. Tackle investment, finance, sexual, intimate, health diagnostic, research and investigative matters this week, because October 28 starts three weeks of delay, mistakes and misinformation in these areas. A powerful bonus could come to you Sunday, in friendship, love, perhaps a sexual or financial "breakthrough." Monday/Tuesday into November begins an intense, puzzling sexual attraction. 

Taurus   April 20-May 20
This is your last week of work and health concerns for a while, Taurus. Soon, relationships and new horizons will absorb your interest. But tackle those chores now: this week continues the hectic pace, the large demands on your time, especially if you're involved with a large corporation, drug, health, government, institution or charity organization. Complete paperwork and red tape. You might feel an urge to make a contact or tie up an agreement, but patience serves you - there will be many "switchbacks" before this road ends, in December.

Gemini   May 21-June 20
One last week of romance, beauty, child-related joys, creative surges and pleasure urges faces you - make the most of it, especially Thursday noon through Saturday. These few days, a significant romance might begin; but it might also end quickly, depending on your birth chart. Overall, it's better to wait until December (into 2007) to meet a viable new mate. Love begun now would contain deep romantic, sexual elements, but a difficult marital pathway. Travel, read, talk Sunday/Monday, but believe nothing Sunday. Rest, be domestic, study property trends Tuesday/Wednesday. Then, love! 

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Although you're busily engaged at home (or you're ensconced in a recuperation vacation) you'll hear from or contact a romantic person, or you'll begin to tinker with a creative, speculative or child-benefiting idea. Be patient with this, as there are likely to be many twists and turns - and delays - until you reach a satisfying destination. A romance or creative project that arises next week (October 23 to 28) will have deeper intensities! You might start a good domestic or security project Thursday noon into Saturday - best if it's short, small.

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
What you learn is still not profitable, but it might plant future seeds - so keep searching, learning, asking questions. (Especially on legal, philosophical, advertising, and cultural themes, and about foreign countries.) Rumors and news affecting your home, family, retirement or security interests has been untrue, but the "accurate news" begins to arrive Wednesday onward (into early December - though deception or misinformation will recur, around November 7 and 28). If you have to buy anything home related (furniture?) do it Wednesday/Thursday - after this, lemons abound. Your charisma soars Sunday/Monday - expect attention! 

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You've been tempted - and still are - to purchase an investment. I wouldn't. Wait, save your funds for the end of November, and December into 2007. The disappointing news you might have heard (or hear this Sunday) in the love area is actually good news - it takes you away from someone who isn't stable. You need to rebuild your life, your "home base," before Big Love comes - and it will, in 2008! Complete chores, reports, essays, communications and any necessary travel now - slowdowns and confusion loom. Your charisma soars mid-week! 

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Your charisma, energy and effectiveness continue to soar! Make this time count, especially in love and personal negotiations. Money influences are not the best before November 24. Also, deception or possible self-delusion has affected recent money matters. Those illusions dissipate Monday onward, so use this week to complete money and spending tasks before confusion, delays, and "lemons" arrive (October 28 to November 17). Happiness, social joys fill Sunday/Monday. Rest mid-week. That ultra-sexy/romantic magnetism you've been radiating ends October 23, so enjoy it, indulge it - especially Thursday noon to Saturday.

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Lie low, rest, and pamper your health.  Contact government agencies, head office, and institutions - handle red tape, but avoid submitting new applications before November 18, as slowdowns and mix-ups prevail until then. Beware fuzzy thinking Sunday; wait until Monday to chase ambitions, or to contact a boss or VIP. Your hopes rise on a breeze of the heart Tuesday to Thursday noon. Enjoy, but remain "hidden" - avoid commitments. Sink into deep rest Thursday through Saturday. You'll be glad you did when next week starts a powerful romantic, energetic phase! 

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Social delights, hopes, optimism, popularity, light romance and entertainment fill your days! (Especially Sunday/Monday, and Thursday noon to Saturday, when life is good! But buckle down to career duties, parental demands or status restrictions mid-week.) False news or rumors have circulated about relationships, business opportunities or links or career prospects - accuracy returns after Sunday. But these matters are beginning to slow, to turn confusing through November 17. Don't start new projects. Use this week to complete, to tie up loose ends, especially in private, red tape or "hidden" areas.

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The emphasis continues on your reputation, ambitions, status and career progress. A new career project might start late this week (Thursday to Saturday) but it might also be over as soon as it begins: it could be a "false start" that 1) isn't harmful, and 2) teaches you something. You might have been romantically focusing on a higher-up or "power person" for the last few weeks. But next week could bring a real - and romantic - friend. Illusions abound Sunday, but research yields deep, valuable answers Monday. Understanding arrives Tuesday/Wednesday. 

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
A beneficial emphasis remains on love, cultural events, law, higher learning, foreign travel and similar interests. You might start a new project in one of these zones Thursday to Saturday, but it's a toss-up whether it will "take hold" or find traction. It's a little late, and conditions are changing very quickly. You've already begun hearing news of career, business or prestige situations or plans - alas, to date these have been wrong. But the true news might arrive this week (AFTER Sunday's illusions). Seek answers mid-week: you'll feel sexy! 

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
You've heard false news, or gathered a false impression, in legal, far travel, cultural, love, higher education or philosophical zones. This fuzzy state continues Sunday, then dissipates. So spend the rest of this week investigating, searching out the truth. What you see or dig up Thursday noon to Saturday could be fresh, new as a baby, clean, and hope inspiring! Don't do anything with this: just remark it. By December onward, your life will change, perhaps from Friday/Saturday's insight. Work Sunday/Monday. Exciting meetings bring attractive but unstable potentials Tuesday/Wednesday.
