ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS NOVEMBER 22 – 28, 2009 All times/dates are Pacific Standard. Let’s continue the Saturn in Libra outlooks: LEO, now to October 2012 you will mingle more casually and comfortably with co-workers and clients than usual. Your work will involve more travel, paperwork and communications; these, in their turn, become “work” rather than “easy jobs.” Don’t assume you can “toss off” a report, or ignore train schedules – mistakes litter this road! VIRGO, now to October 2012, Saturn signals that a new mood of seriousness is descending upon your finances (especially onto the earning/spending side). Be conservative and plan ahead. If you’ve worked hard in the past (perhaps with little reward) you’ll begin earning more now. Your romantic, creative and beauty-oriented side will meet “easy accomplishment” during these three years. But take care that you aren’t conquering an empty city. SCORPIO, the 35 months ahead will tend, overall, to be a lucky one for you, as the planet of restriction, Saturn, will be in a weak place – in other words, what holds you back will weaken and fall away. Still, you can face longer-than-usual waits in hospitals, with government agencies, and “head office.” These years nudge you to stay away from administrative chores and red tape. Now to October 2010 mildly dampens social life for you SAGITTARIANS. Forget the popularity race; you’ll find your social delights with those of another generation (younger or older). On the plus side, your income should meet a quiet but strong luck, one that brings you to a new plateau of earnings. You might make extra dough buying and selling used items. A wished-for possession could become yours! The 35 months ahead for you CAPRICORNS emphasize ambition – slow, steady, careful yet solidly daring ambition. Your determination will grow. Duties will be more difficult, yet you’ll probably thrive in this. A higher-up, though not demonstrative, could become a solid ally; he/she sees “earnings potential” in you. AQUARIUS, the 35 months ahead will slow your thought processes, and make progress harder than usual in legal, educational, cultural and travel zones. But your spiritual and psychic side, and your relations with government, head office and institutions, will blossom with new, quiet, strong luck. PISCES, until October 2012 your large finances, investments, debts, health and sexual arenas grow serious. Your wishes will change (especially in these zones); so will your social circle. Burdens come secretly – some burdens are blessed: e.g., pregnancy. Start Nothing: 7:36p.m. Mon. to 8:07 a.m. Tues., 6:17 a.m. to 7:11p.m. Thurs., and after 3:33p.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 The month ahead features love, cultural involvements, far travel, legal affairs, publishing, advertising, fame, religion, life philosophy and higher education. You’re a ball of fire now. You could plunge into a powerful serious romance, join the army and delve into war, or fervently pursue a creative or career goal. One thing: others are sceptical, slow to agree, now to October 2012. So display loyalty, walk slowly. If you push a boss, parent, cop or judge, they’ll push back. A wish comes true Sunday/Monday! Rest, midweek. You shine, luck soars, Friday/Saturday! Taurus April 20-May 20 The month ahead holds mysteries, sexual attractions, partnership finances, investments, debt, lifestyle changes and commitments, research and detective work. It’s a good time to analyse and diagnose any situation (including health) and find a solution or improvement. You can literally change your life now. Young couples might ”discover” pregnancy. Remember to exercise diplomacy and gentleness on the home front, through early June. (The same period is negative for home purchases.) Your career meets luck Sunday/Monday, if you strive. Happiness, social joys mid-week. Rest, Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20 The emphasis lies on relationships during the weeks ahead. You could meet someone who excites you, or you could find yourself in a competitive situation, perhaps even in “enemy territory.” Remember that others have the advantage, the power now, so if you want your way, you’d better wait at least a month, maybe more. You’ll get further by co-operating, accenting another’s wishes/needs. (Super salespeople do this constantly.) You might be involved with a lawyer, accountant or other advisor. You’ll meet at least two opportunities to ”follow your dream.” (One Friday/Saturday) Do so! Cancer June 21-July 22 The month ahead holds work, health issues, care of dependents, and a bit of boredom. Take care with spending – if you do, through June 2010, you’ll be significantly “richer” than today. A relationship needs – not exactly attention, but care. Don’t force issues; instead, get your work done. Mysteries, sexual urges, research and discovery fill Sunday/Monday – step forward, be prepared to commit funds or loyalty/efforts. Tuesday/Wednesday bring understanding, perhaps an unusual, sweet affection or friendship. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday: you could “set up” a pay increase. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 The month ahead makes you a winner! Romance, creative surges, speculative urges, charming children, pleasure forays, infatuation, beauty and style, glitz and glamour – these visit you! Remember this hint: action will get you further than talk, especially in intimate moments. Sunday/Monday accent relationships – be diplomatic, eager to join. You might wonder: should I chase an opportunity (including love) or stay secure? Your choice. Be wise. Sex, secrets, “high finance” fill mid-week. Love, understanding, a legal affair, far travel, education or publishing are lucky Friday/Saturday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Tackle chores Sunday/Monday – don’t shop for clothes or beauty items. The month ahead accents domesticity, kids, home, real estate, security, diet, Mother Nature, gardening, retirement. Decide who/what should stay in your life, and who/what you’ve outgrown. This is particularly important this December and next, as you are about to enter a huge new world of opportunities and relationships. Think about this “new world” Tuesday to Thursday. You might make a sweet new friend mid-week, or take a great trip, or both. Secrets, intimacy, financial arrangements go well Friday/Saturday. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Paperwork, details, short trips, communications, facts and figures, casual acquaintances, curiosity and restlessness fill the “unimportant” month ahead – and could eventually (June 2010? 2011?) lead to the fulfillment of a relationship wish. But these weeks are relatively unimportant for health, finances, love and career – which means you can “skate” a bit and be relaxed in all the busyness. Your money picture looks good; you can splurge on a small luxury. Romance, pleasure, winning Sunday/Monday. Work midweek. Relationships, opportunities excite Friday/Saturday! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Focus on your domestic arena Sunday/Monday. Indulge in some delicious rest. Decide whether you’re going to favour yourself or your family. Romance piques your interest mid-week – you could experience a sweet, unexpected interlude with an unpredictable, fascinatingly unusual person – or you could simply bask in Christmas with your friends and family – seldom has everyone looked so handsome! To work (or fix your health) Friday/Saturday. The month ahead favours income, buying/selling and sensual pursuits. Higher-ups are impatient, but they’ll co-operate with your money schemes. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Your energy, clout, charisma, effectiveness and confidence soar for the month ahead! This is the best time of year to demand an audience, to start significant new projects or tackle tasks that have daunted you, and to seek the favour or co-operation of others. Your natural creative surges will, last October to next June, inevitably involve you in legal, travel, romantic, intellectual or cultural situations. Be wise, prudent and thoughtful in these – there’s already enough impulse. (Lucky impulse, Friday/Saturday!) Travel, paperwork, messaging fill Sunday/Monday. Joy at home mid-week! Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Mildly withdraw during the month ahead. Rest, contemplate and plan. Deal with health, financial, psychic and other advisors, with government agencies, institutions, and large corporations. Look to your own spiritual future. You’re ready to commit to a person, project or investment that has far-reaching consequences. Study it well Sunday/Monday, and study it again Friday/Saturday. You might see efficiencies or even better steps to take. Otherwise, chase money, buy and sell Sunday/Monday. (Two good days to set passwords, as your memory’s higher.) A sweet friend marks mid-week. Home charms, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 A month of wish fulfillment begins. Your popularity, optimism, and enjoyment of life rise. Accept and issue invitations, join groups, get political, flirt, seek entertainment, say yes to an interlude of light romance. Relationships fall into two camps now to next June: enemies and allies, both of them fiery and intense. The allies in the month ahead (e.g., this Friday/Saturday). A “mere flirtation” could veer into a hot affair. (Still, it might ultimately be “casual.”) Your charisma, energy and clout rise Sunday/Monday. Travel, communicate, contact Friday/Saturday. In-between, money and career luck! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Your standing in the world is accented – and under observation – for the month ahead. Perform for higher-ups, parents, bosses and authorities. Show your talents, present proposals.(If you’ve been bad, be contrite.) Tackle important projects, especially in career, prestige and business arenas. Your energy declines Sunday/Monday – rest, contemplate – visit a psychic, other advisor (or see a movie) late Monday. Your energy and charisma return Tuesday-Thursday. You could “win the prize” in travel, love, cultural or intellectual areas. Your money luck’s high Friday/Saturday – buy, sell. www.astralreflections.com. Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 905-372-8996. /30/
