VIRGO, your love life in 2010 will be full of bright moments, cheerful repartee (or argument!) and unexpectedly fortunate meetings. Relationships could take on a political or scholastic, philosophical or athletic tone - for these are the types of people you will be running into this year. If you want to meet more members of the opposite sex, go to sports events, libraries, political conventions, schools, etc. International travel also plays a lucky role, so if you can afford to, go. Your luck and joy come from others now, so bend, agree, be eager and diplomatic. Don't pop a pompous person's balloon with a sharp little detail; you might infuriate the very one who was about to welcome you into a lucky friendship - or more. Be humble. Mating now definitely carries a domestic theme. Falling in love might bring a change of homes. This same influence, however, can spell separation/divorce for unhappy couples. You might be unhealthily attracted to a sexy person March to June. Insist that this attraction become open, honest and socially acceptable, or drop it. You sexual magnetism soars June/July - a deeply physical love could begin, or you and your lover could join forces in a lifestyle change, a mortgage, a baby's birth, etc. There's no harm in delaying these to 2011, when they'll be even more fortunate. Be gentle on the home front October 27 to December 7 - DON'T begin co-habiting in this period. TAURUS, you've likely experienced some friction at home since last October. This continues until early June, so be gentle and forgiving. In June and July that pent-up energy might explode into a powerful attraction - make sure it can lead to honest, open romance. If you're married, love rekindles swiftly. But don't wander - a triangle would make that earlier domestic friction seem tame. That's 2010's worst case scenario. For most, the summer is likely to bring sweet heart-healing - with some intriguing "garden parties" for singles. In general, 2010 is a splendid, upbeat, flirty, happy year, filled with entertainment, fulfilled wishes, new friends, and many opportunities for romance. Married or single, your social luck soars! September to January brings a serious amorous attraction. You might have an opportunity to marry. You could spend October/November mulling over whether you should or not. For best results, say Yes (or no) mid-November to early December, or the first few days of 2011. Physical urges run high and hot: strive for logic, too! If married, you fall in love again - and you could relocate, as a dream comes true! Start Nothing: 5:01 p.m. to 11:32p.m. Mon., 4:23 a.m.to 9:29 a.m. Thurs., and12:42 p.m.to 5:28 p.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 Lie low, rest. Significant seeds are germinating (Sunday/Monday especially). Seeds often look small, unremarkable. A new birth is occurring in four areas: friends/social circle, education/law/culture/philosophy, communication and work, and love/creativity/children. As 2010 will be the gestation period of these births, so don't be surprised if you feel a bit weary or removed from bustling action. Your energy and effectiveness rise somewhat mid-week. An agreement with a Gemini or Virgo is a winner, if a higher-up or your partner doesn't "refuse" it. Chase money Thursday eve to Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20 Wishes could come true Sunday/Monday (or any day this week, especially early and late week). But more importantly, these two days (and the week) give birth to notions, even subconscious notions, that can grow over 2010 to seem like wishes come true when they do rise up to break the surface as "events." Career, status, socializing, romance and money (earned and invested) are most likely to follow this process. It wouldn't hurt to settle your mind, dream/contemplate, Sunday to Wednesday. (Have fun Sunday/Monday - flirt, make new friends.) Your charisma surges Thursday to Saturday! Gemini May 21-June 20 Work hard - higher ups are grading your performance. But there's an even deeper reason: Sunday through Wednesday (especially Sunday/Monday) new projects, trends, directions, contacts are hatching in career, business, ambition, prestige, political and similar areas. What's begun here, especially Sunday, will tend to grow quickly and luckily over 2010. The intellect, law, publishing, international affairs (e.g., foreign travel) and relationships, communications, security and home are secondary "motors" in this huge rebirth. Loneliness will end soon - a bit in the weeks ahead, a lot in 2011. Cancer June 21-July 22 A hunch, a nudge, the merest slip of a feeling or idea, if it comes Sunday/Monday or (less so) Tuesday/Wednesday, could be the germ of an understanding, an outlook, that could change your life - not physically so much, as in terms of acceptance and happiness. Think "God, life, mankind - me." Life is magic to us. Go to the library, or watch a film for inspiration - or listen to a foreign-born person. Be careful with bosses, authorities Tuesday morning, but charge ahead ambitiously Wednesday - communicate with a higher-up: there's money in this. Happiness late week! Leo July 23-Aug. 22 A seed is planted Sunday to Wednesday, perhaps a mysterious one, perhaps a seed of investment that will yield future benefits, or a seed of lust that can lay whole hearts to waste like Caesar burned Gaul, perhaps the germ of a powerful research or investigation, perhaps a bad idea, a temptation that can lead to crime and ruin, or an inspiration that could heal one or many - your choice will determine whether good or bad results. This seed will grow all 2010, and change your life. So choose goodness. A call, visit or book brings the answer Wednesday! Be ambitious late week. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept.22 A relationship (or relationship notion) that starts the first four days (especially Sunday/Monday) will tend to grow over the year ahead. Best action: write, call, propose, make "cold calls," phone that exciting person, etc. All you can lose is your dignity! One caution: relationships that start Tuesday to Thursday morning are meant for lust, finances, research or power: be honest, ethical. Sunday/Monday are more open, honest, and bring associations of the same nature. Enmities can also grow, so choose wisely. Be cautious Thursday/Friday: someone might work against you, not openly. Libra Sept. 23-Oct.22 A new work project, or a new general work atmosphere, could appear Sunday/Monday. At the very least, seeds are being sown. These are two good days to go out and look at machinery, perhaps to buy, as prices should be low. If you're self-employed, you can instigate programs, proposals, systems that can bring more work (or more efficiency) in future. Whatever begins now, grows during much of 2010. Relationships consume you negatively Tuesday morning, beneficially this p.m. and Wednesday - a note, call, talk or trip might help a partnership speed to good things - or bring a new attraction. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 A romantic attraction, a creative idea or effort, a tempting risk, a pleasure, sports, speculative, beauty or child-oriented project might start Sunday/Monday (or to some degree, but with more of a "work" influence, Tuesday/Wednesday). It might seem unimpressive, nothing unusual (for instance, "romance" might be nothing but a cool look at someone attractive in an elevator) but from this can grow a whole year of enjoyment and luck! Be aware, but more importantly, be motivated, don't say, "well, tomorrow...."! You disagree with a Gemini late week - and you're right. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 A new home, a child, a new security, the end of wasteful, stale circumstances and the beginning of a new life, a new direction: these are, in life's tapestry, available, waiting for you to give the go-ahead, to make that first step, especially Sunday/Monday (but with further good developments Tuesday/Wednesday). These might be involved: travel, relocation, partnership, career, foreign countries, law or higher education. Romance and/or a creative surge draw you Tuesday (difficult pre-noon) and Wednesday (a potential mate talks). Work and health concerns, Thursday to Saturday. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 A new communications, travel, media, paperwork or similar project might start Sunday/Monday. It might turn into a whole new regime over the 10months ahead - but it appears deceptively small or "slim" now. Could lead to a new car, office, telephone and/ or computer system, mailing projects/techniques, etc. If your business lies in communications, mail marketing, etc., this is a significant "birth." Land, home, family, security take forward strides (changes) mid-week: impose your will. Wednesday's best. Romance, beauty, a creative mood visit you Thursday-Saturday! (Maybe a short visit.) Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 A new money project starts Sunday/Monday. It might be "disguised" - as a request for more pay, a job search, a purchase. It's "slim" but significant - could affect your income for the entire year ahead, even be the first step in a decade of higher earnings. Take a step, start, be proactive - don't double-think or contemplate these days away. If you don't know what to do, think "money," and do anything. You might talk to a Gemini (love) or Virgo (sex) Wednesday - it's lucky this day, but has a bumpy future. Settle into home, security, kids late week. Travel's coming! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 From here forward in 2010, it's all expansion - of waist line if you're not careful, but more importantly, of everything you give your time and effort to, especially career, prestige, spirituality, government contacts, travel, work, home and relationships. All these are, in an odd way, "skinny" now but poised for major growth. Pick two of these areas Sunday/Monday, and start something(s)! Careful with money Tuesday forenoon - chase it Wednesday, when a lucky conversation or swift move could bring bucks! (Not Thursday to Friday, though.) Careful with relationship talk late week. www.astralreflections.com. Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 416-686-5014.
