ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS JUNE 12 – 18, 2011 All times/dates are PDT. VIRGO, the twelve months from June 4, 2011 to mid-June 2012 bring wisdom and a broader understanding of life. Luck streams into your love sector, bringing a uniquely gentle, intellectual harmony with a person who excites your deepest sensual and spiritual regions. A brand new kind of person, tantalizing, elusive, sympathetic and supportive, enters. Strangely and sweetly, the non-physical and the physical merge. Avoid those who overdo drugs or alcohol. If you’re unhappily married, or separated, this year (June to June) is likely to bring a legal, formal parting of ways. In all cases – new love, renewed love or divorce – this cycle’s events open the curtain on a huge 15-year chapter in your life, with new and different opportunities and relationships. This is a splendid year to see this new horizon, to understand it and form an approach to it. Your luck in legal matters soars. You can win lawsuits (or end them) or sign contracts that ensure a future profit. This is a hugely beneficial year to attend university or college, travel internationally, join a religion or form a philosophy, write, broadcast, publish, seek fame, wed, or link up with other cultures and minds. LIBRA, your new luck cycle lasts from June 4, 2011 to mid-June 2012. You could feel the climaxing of major relationship developments. You’re ready for new depths, new situations, even a new world, in almost every relationship – marriage, business associations, dealings with your “public,” etc. You’ll break off associations that cannot move into these depths – a for example, a business association/project that can’t attract funding, or an emotional attraction that won’t move into intimacy. This “year” (June to June) brings great sexual luck – pregnancy to hopeful couples, sensual opportunities to yearning singles, etc. Expect a cornucopia of opportunities in finances, investments, research, diagnosis, investigation, health, lifestyle changes, occultism, relocation – and anything that might change your life in deep, major ways. It’s a very fruitful time for any kind of therapy. This is a superb time to ensure your future financial security. Take out a mortgage, invest in a business or buy stocks/bonds, retirement funds, etc. A real estate investment could support you for decades – though it might not give flashy “overnight” returns. If you’re young, you’ll have less to invest, but you’ll have longer to enjoy the results. Think “steady, practical, and commitment,” and you’ll win this cycle! Start Nothing: 10:43 a.m. to 7:38 p.m. Mon., 8:31 p.m. to 10:59 p.m. Wed., and 1:07 a.m. to 4:47 a.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 The accent continues on paperwork, messaging, errands, travel, news and casual friends. It’s a busy but not important time. Sunday’s full of mysteries and subconscious urges (so is good for seeing within or seeking critical advice). But these – and sex, and finances – can meet irritation Monday. Wisdom, a gentle outlook creep in late Monday to late Wednesday – you might spend too much on travel, culture, education or a legal matter, but these things also come to a satisfying climax. Be ambitious Thursday/Friday. You’re popular Saturday, but driving, high tech are erratic. Taurus April 20-May 20 Continue to chase money. Buy sources of knowledge and co-operate with teachers. Relationships flow well Sunday, but they might run into friction Monday a.m. Ignore a financial or sexual decision/idea Monday night – these meet success Tuesday/Wednesday (although you might overspend for an investment). Be careful with ethical or legal “assumptions” (or travel ideas) Thursday to suppertime – the practical reality is far different. These matters flow with superb luck, though, Thursday night to pre-dawn Saturday. Be ambitious – but drive carefully, and forgive computers – Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20 Your energy, charisma and effectiveness continue high. You’ll be given almost anything you ask for – but you need to be aware that asking for a partner, marriage, relocation, litigation or a contract could lead to restriction or unexpected solitude. But these are not necessarily bad. Relative solitude will come anyway, over the year ahead, as a blessing, a healing. Do ask for advice. Take this general attitude for the whole twelve months ahead: that you will, to whatever degree you can, sacrifice your own time/energy to support another (or others). This will bring good results. Cancer June 21-July 22 Lie low, rest and recuperate. Be thoughtful, plan, seek advice, deal with government agencies or institutions, or corporate head offices. Your charitable and spiritual side remains prominent. Next week, you’re going to burst forth with a blaze of energy: so store it up now. Sunday’s romantic, but anyone who’s attractive Monday morning is also a quarrelsome type – fair warning! Tackle chores and health concerns Monday to Wednesday. Relationships can frustrate you Thursday to suppertime (so don’t pursue new ones) but this night and Friday bring sweet, even passionate harmony! Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Wishes can come true! You remain popular, optimistic, happy. Make and accept invitations (but keep them near in time – after June 20 you’ll tire of social involvements). The year ahead is very lucky for career, ambitions, etc. Use Sunday to ground this – to examine and/or shore up your foundations, your platform for launching an ambitious bid. For example, when you’re handling long days and career pressures, a supportive family is a good foundation. Or mapping out the right territory, or lining up allies. Tuesday/Wednesday are romantic, creative – love could reach a sweet climax! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 The accent remains on ambition, status, prestige relationships. Show the boss (or parents, etc.) what you can do. Sunday’s great for puttering around the neighbourhood, reading a fat newspaper, calling friends, errands and paperwork. These need a diplomatic (but opportunistic) approach Monday a.m. You reach a climax and an “ending note” in career matters Tuesday/Wednesday – all is well. Perhaps a project matures. Study long-term income and investments Thursday: these will undergo change this decade – safety key. Thursday/Friday are romantic. Chores Saturday – practice safety! Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Gentle love, understanding, a wide view, far travel, legal affairs, higher education, religion, cultural involvements – the accent continues on these. During the 378 days ahead, you are going to face superb luck in investments, lifestyle changes, sex/intimacy, therapy/healing, and/or research. Use Sunday to see what you already have, and what you accept as true – these are not where your luck lies; these will remain static. Monday morning, a partner’s or competitor’s comment, even if irritating, or a spied opportunity, shows where your luck lies. Romance unpredictable Saturday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Changes are still on the agenda, in lifestyle, commitments, intimacy, finances. But the biggest change involves your relationship sphere: it’s growing splendidly lucky. The year ahead will bring at least two opportunities to marry, form a business partnership, relocate, attract the public (e.g., as clients to your store) – almost all of these have a very beneficial money result! Remember for the past 15 years I kept saying that your true love phase would begin in 2011? This partnership year is part of that. Your energy’s good Sunday. Chase money midweek. Love late Thursday? Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 The emphasis remains on relationships, partnerships, opportunities, relocation, negotiation. Remember, this area needs a light touch until late August, 2012. Actually marrying or relocating is not a good idea, unless “life brings it” – e.g., your employer transfers you. Depend more on your own efforts, carve out your own destiny, rather than chasing perceived “opportunities.” Lie low, rest Sunday/Monday. Your energy rises nicely midweek. Chase money Thursday/Friday (but expect barriers up to Thursday suppertime). Someone’s sweet, reliable. Travel Saturday – safety first! Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 You face nine more days of drudgery work, so just keep on plugging. (As hinted earlier, perform only necessary work all year; don’t make machinery, chores, health or employment a primary focus.) Soon, fresh air, new opportunities and exciting relationships will enter. The last of these is especially significant, as the twelve months ahead bring splendid romantic openings! The same period creative and speculative luck. Optimistic risk is your friend, especially risk that, if it “wins,” will bring you more responsibility. Joy Sunday. Rest midweek, charge forth Thursday/Friday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 This is your last week of romance, creativity, pleasure and beauty for awhile – enjoy it while you can. Be ambitious Sunday. Higher-ups are still impatient, temperamental, so be diplomatic, especially Monday morning. Your popularity surges Tuesday/Wednesday! Flirtations, entertainment, optimism abound. A romance could swell to “mad love.” But retreat Thursday/Friday: meditate, contemplate, plan, deal with government agencies, and fulfill obligations. (All these will go better Thursday night and Friday, not before.) Your energy, charisma spring up Saturday – careful driving. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 The accent continues on your domestic scene, on security, property, children, retirement, gardening, nature and nutrition. Luxuriate in laziness. Sunday/Monday are wise, gentle – contemplate the why’s, not the how’s. You might feel a tug-o-war between your ambitions and your home (or your tiredness) Tuesday/Wednesday. All’s well, whichever extreme you favour. Your hopes meet barriers Thursday daytime, but this night ad Friday could bring fulfillment, especially to home-related wishes. It’s a splendid time to decorate, landscape. Weariness returns Saturday – rest, plan. www.astralreflections.com. Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 416-686-5014. /30/
