ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
OCTOBER 29 - NOVEMBER 4, 2006

	All times/dates are Pacific Standard Time.
	LIBRA, the new luck cycle that begins late at night, November 23, 2006, and lasts to December 18, 2007, will bring you many friends and casual contacts, a whirl of travel and new sights. Follow your curiosity - it will add to your knowledge of people, of finances, investments, psychology, spirituality, etc. Your sense of exploration could lead to frequent travel. Later, in 2008, when your real estate luck soars, you might relocate to one of the places you visited in 2007. 
In general 2007 is not a good time to commit yourself to any major life stance, so avoid mortgages, major tinkering with your investments, seeking marriage, etc. Start projects before September if you want them to succeed.
	All matters involving love, romance, children, creativity and inventiveness will succeed in a light way. For example, if you're a writer by trade, stick to light, short or quick works - a newspaper article rather than a book, or a light, quick book rather than "opus profundis." In love, life is certain to offer you two light, friendly romances - but if you're seeking the passion of the century you'll likely be disappointed. Surprisingly, what you accomplish now, though light, will turn out to be remarkably durable. It's also a great time to edit or re-jig something you began around 2000/01 - a book or a marriage!
	SCORPIO, the year ahead (November 24/06to December 18/07) significantly boosts your money fortunes. Take advantage by asking for a pay raise, increasing your efforts in sales or trading areas, selling old unwanted items, etc. The income level you climb to this year will tend to "hold," to form a plateau, for the next decade. This is a prime, lucky year to start a business, or a major expansion or new acquisition or product line within an existing business. What you begin or "birth" now will endure and grow for many years, in a stable, solid way. This lucky year might also give a boost to, or help solidify and buttress a project you began in 2000 or 2001. (This project could be in any area as well as in business - partnership, relocation, public dealings, money, marriage, investments or health_) 
Time all your starts to occur between November 24/06 and August 31/07 - ventures begun September through December 18/07 will tend to fail, though projects begun earlier should continue to thrive. (Also read my "Year Ahead" in 2007 - it will list three additional, short, minor "don't start" periods.)  
	This luck cycle will also give you Scorpios a boost in memory, rote learning, technical school, and sensual situations. Intimacy will come easily, without strings.

Start Nothing: Before 2:17 a.m. Sun., 9:31 p.m. Mon. to 6:11 a.m. Tues., 11:54 p.m. Wed. to 7:46 a.m. Thurs., and 0:04 a.m. to 8:05 a.m. Sat.

Aries   March 21-April 19
The accent is on depths, mysteries, privacy, large finances, dreams, research and investigation, diagnosis and surgery (which can also mean performing "surgery" on certain situations and relationships). Your subconscious bursts to the surface, heightening your intuition. If ever a month were likely to trigger a sexual liaison, an extramarital affair, or any walk on the wild side, this would be the month. Yet in all these matters, indecision and second-guessing, delays and misunderstandings are rife until November 18. Don't commit yourself to any major life path before that date.  (93)

Taurus   April 20-May 20
November brings exciting meetings, especially Tuesday/Wednesday, when some wholesome, sweet, gregarious and sexy people surround you! Whether you're free or attached, November lights the fires of attraction. If married, chase your mate once again! All sorts of luck and goodies - e.g., doorways to opportunities in finance - come from others now, so your urge to merge is a great thing. On the down side, anyone you meet before November 18 might not stay, and even your faithful ongoing relationships are prone to indecision. Wait, and wait again! Be reliable, diplomatic Sunday/Monday. (94)

Gemini   May 21-June 20
Tackle routine chores. Avoid anything new, novel, or complicated. DO NOT buy machinery, a car, computer, etc. This is not a good time to hire a new employee nor initiate employee programs. Start no new projects or ventures. Instead, protect ongoing projects from delays, disruptions and mistakes, or reprise the past: e.g., if you need a job, contact former employers. All this applies through November 17. You could be temped by a co-worker, especially if you previously shared an attraction. Your ambition shows (successfully) Tuesday/Wednesday! Happiness visits Thursday/Friday! 

Cancer   June 21-July 22
An old flame might return. Whether new or old, romance attracts you in November, and any affair started now would burn hot, sweet and ecstatically! But if a brand new person enters before November 18, indecision, complications or delays will hobble love's future.  If after November 17, the world's your oyster! The same - hindrances before the18th, success after - also applies to creative, speculative, teaching and child-raising involvements. Patience is an element of success! Be cautious with secrets and money Sunday/Monday. Love, travel, wide vision come Tuesday/Wednesday, career kudos Thursday/Friday!

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
The accent lies on your domestic scene, property, Mother Nature, soul and contemplation. Relax; take naps in the sun. All week, but especially Tuesday to Friday, study where you've been and where you want to go in life - do you have the foundation, the launching pad, for the latter? Study who belongs in your life, and who no longer fits. Examine your house for needed repairs, etc. But don't act yet on any of these - mull everything over until November 18, then act - and act quickly, November 18 to 23.

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22 
Confusion and wrong directions exist through November 17.Double-check figures, keys, paperwork and addresses. Avoid large purchases and don't start important projects. Your curiosity is high, so do go exploring, research, investigate. You might start a friendly romance with a very sexy person. This will eventually crash on the rocks of necessity or "wrong secrets" - but you won't regret it! If you don't want to risk your heart, read instead - romantic fiction or bios fascinate you now. Tackle chores cautiously Sunday/Monday. Exciting meetings Tuesday/Wednesday! Sexy stuff, secrets, large finances Thursday/Friday.

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Continue to chase money that's owed you - or keep at an ongoing chore that you'll be paid for. Protect money from misunderstandings and confusions - count your change, check figures on statements, checks, etc. But DON'T start new earnings programs/ventures, nor purchase items that you wouldn't buy every week. You might also remember things at the oddest times, or be struck with nostalgia. A former "quiet flame" might return - someone with whom you had a sensual but not passionate affair. All this until November 17. Work succeeds Tuesday. Exciting strangers Thursday!

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Your energy, charisma, and sexual magnetism continue to soar! Remember what I said months ago: 2005-2010 bring you the adventure of love, rather a life mate (except in some rare cases). This November will stir your juices, romantically and sensually. You could fall into a major affair - and not one that will hurt you, unless you parade it around at work, or chase the boss's mate. Until November 17, you could remain indecisive, especially about the intimacy side of things - but if any days could pluck your heartstrings, this Tuesday/Wednesday will!

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Rest, protect your health, contemplate, and stay in the background. You might be summoned to administrative, closed door, or planning sessions - participate, show your creative thoughts, but stop short of making promises or agreeing to begin a project. You might need to clear up old red tape or governmental (tax?) concerns. Don't start any new projects before November 18. Try to dissolve burdens/duties rather than take on new ones. The reason for this will be very clear in a month or two. A sexy temptation hovers - be honest, "clean!" 

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You might meet a love prospect at a social function. But the timing is important: if you meet a new person before November 18, indecision, delays and other potential difficulties (perhaps sexual or financial) can stand in your way. If after November 17, luck accompanies your twosome! If nothing else, the present time is flirty, happy, entertaining and optimistic. Get out, mingle, have fun and spread your name around, bolster your networking skills. Money needs caution Sunday/Monday. Travel, calls hold good news Tuesday/Wednesday! Home, property matters progress well Thursday/Friday.

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You're drawn back to former duties/roles, or need to finish a job that was neglected. That's fine. Protect ongoing projects from mistakes, delays and supply disruptions. Go over instructions twice. DO NOT start new projects in career, business, prestige - or romantic, creative - or financial, investment - areas. Your charisma and energy soar Sunday/Monday, so tackle the hard jobs, meet higher-ups. Ask for more money, or buy/sell Tuesday (Wednesday also, but carefully). Social joys arrive Thursday/Friday. Be home, relax Saturday. Your status would rise if your partner trusted you - be worthy!

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
An old flame or ex might press you for a meeting. If you're unattached, why not meet? (Especially Tuesday/Wednesday, when your charisma and energy soar.) The "residual feelings" will surprise you! The three weeks ahead are a good time to deal with old legal, educational, cultural, travel, advertising, publishing and/or insurance issues - but concentrate on solving problems, not on a "re-launch," as a "practical barrier" exists. Retreat to rest and study situations Sunday/Monday. Tackle things with both hands and a smile Tuesday/Wednesday, when success accompanies you! Chase money Thursday/Friday.
