ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS JUNE 3 – 9, 2012 All times/dates are PDT. LIBRA, June 2012 to June 2013 will bring providence, wisdom and a broader understanding of life. Your luck in legal matters soars – after August. (Until August 30, a pitfall might lurk.) 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. Luck streams into your love sector, bringing a uniquely gentle, intellectual harmony with a person who excites your deepest sensual and spiritual regions. With him/her, the non-physical and the physical merge. If you’re unhappily married, or separated, this period is likely to bring a legal parting of ways. By October, a sober, skeptical cloud lifts off you, letting in the sunshine of clarity, and making you more open to love. A true life mate could be waiting for you. SCORPIO, now to June 2013 you’re ready for new depths, new situations, even a new world. You want almost every relationship – love, marriage, business associations, dealings with your “public,” etc. – to reach new financial, emotional or sexual depths. This period brings great sexual luck – pregnancy for hopeful couples, sensual opportunities for 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 or medical diagnosis, and 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. Think “steady, practical, and committed,” and you’ll win this cycle! One caution: conditions are muddled before September, so don’t push anything heedlessly June to August. SAGITTARIUS, your new luck cycle, June 2012 to June 2013, promotes relationships of all kinds – and their bountiful rewards. This year could bring marriage to singles, divorce/freedom to unhappy couples, and new joys to happy couples. Rewards can spring up from almost any relationship – business, emotional, public dealings, fame, friendships, etc. To succeed, be a joiner, even temporarily a follower – good fortune will come through others, rather than from independent action. Pounce on any openings, as opportunities abound. This is a splendid period to relocate – or to (re) negotiate a contract. However, pitfalls lurk if you chase any opportunity before September. If you do chase, and meet puzzling delays (June to August) – turn and walk away. Any changes you make in your relationships will turn you in a opportunity-laden direction for years to come. You face a huge new future – go forth, embrace it! Start Nothing: 2:29 a.m. to 5:32 a.m. Sun., 10:08 p.m. Mon. to 5:31 a.m. Tues., 5:38 a.m. to 7:17 a.m. Thurs., and 11:33 a.m. to 12:22 p.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 The emphasis remains on trips, visits, talks, emails, news media, casual friends and siblings, curiosity and information. Delays exist, but affection graces all (well, most) interactions. A wise, loving mood descends upon you Sunday and Monday – two lucky days, if you can leave work to one side. (Careful with machines, and driving – Thursday too.) Your ambitions come into clear focus Tuesday/Wednesday. The barrier you feel is a relationship barrier; as long as someone doesn’t accept you, a career advance might be hard to gain. Thursday on, popularity, optimism and joy visit you! Taurus April 20-May 20 The accent remains on money, buying/selling, earnings, clients, possessions – and sensual attractions. Sunday/Monday, your finances lean toward long-term objectives: investments, debt reduction (or increase) money-sharing, etc. Be bold un these Sunday, mildly careful Monday. A wise, gentle, understanding mood drifts over you Tuesday/Wednesday. Don’t force home/domestic matters either evening. Your ambitions awaken Thursday/Friday – avoid bending any legal/ethical rules (and avoid those who do) – your efforts could strike gold, or earn a VIP’s praise! Joy, friends Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20 Your energy, charisma, clout and effectiveness ride the crest of a wave, Gemini! Get out, start important projects, ask favours, express love if you feel it – in all, avoid selfish or ultra-independent actions/moods. (This advice applies until August 30.) You’ll be reminded of others’ presence Sunday/Monday, when relationships occupy center stage. Exciting meetings, challenges/opposition, opportunities, partnerships, even love are possible. But both days (and Thursday) hint that your home, or your hopes about home, property, can block a bonding. Love, joy, travel late week. Cancer June 21-July 22 Continue to rest, retreat – be alone, to enjoy the peace, to think clearly, and to accomplish and make plans while others dance for the pied piper of others’ approval. Tackle chores and protect your health (eat, dress sensibly) Sunday/Monday. All’s well, but avoid unsafe use of machinery in/around home Monday. Relationships succeed in every way Tuesday/Wednesday, except one: marriage, partnership. Be diplomatic. Life’s mysteries rise to the surface Thursday (problems – careful driving, and with machinery) and Friday (success) – a powerful (but forbidden?) attraction might occur. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 The accent remains on friendships, groups, wish fulfillment, entertainment, and light romance (which might become deep). Sunday/Monday emphasize the intense side of these areas, and could cause a mild dilemma: do you opt for light or powerful romance? For independent creativity, or “creation by committee?” If things do intensify, let them. Only money, or emotional possessiveness, can ruin results (Monday and Thursday). Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday. (Be careful with electricity – and your back.) Love, exciting meetings, new vistas, great opportunities arrive, Thursday to Saturday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 The focus lies on your career, worldly standing, prestige relationships, and dealings with authorities. Be careful, prudent this week, for Sunday/Monday and Thursday could trigger hasty reactions on all sides. Otherwise, this is a productive, good week, especially Thursday (avoid temper, hasty investments) through Saturday, when your work efforts meet with splendid success, and could, by Saturday, introduce you to meaningful new relationships or opportunities. Earlier, Sunday and Monday are for home, family, security, nature. Your romantic, beauty-oriented side surfaces midweek. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 The things you love gently pull your sleeve this week: far travel, international ideas and communications, law and justice, learning, culture, and compassionate love. Try a foreign film or a play. (DO NOT start a lawsuit before September.) Casual friends, siblings, short trips, paperwork and communications fill Sunday/Monday. These two days, and Thursday, point to a flaw in a new or burgeoning relationship: this person might have too much power over you, subtly restricts or burdens you, etc. Retreat to contemplate this, midweek. Thursday to Saturday: romance, creative urges, beauty! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Mysteries, secrets, research, detective work – mighty changes which can turn the course of your life – powerful sexual urges, high intuition, financial courage – these fill this week and next. To succeed, keep honesty and moral goodness in your fist. (Without these, success occurs, but itself forms the first step toward traps and loss. Remember this advice through August.) This week, work demands or co-workers might interfere with your progress: act when free of these. Chase money Sunday/Monday. Trips, talk midweek. Thursday to Saturday brings a triumph on family, realty fronts. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Your energy, clout and pizzazz ride high Sunday/Monday, Sage – but it’s only so you can be more attractive when you propose joining up with others. Maintain a diplomatic, friendly approach, but do approach. Chase money – carefully – Tuesday/Wednesday. Thursday to Saturday bring travel, errands, casual friends, siblings, news and curiosity. You and another might start a friendly romance; someone might aid you in home or real estate. A Gemini now can change your life; an Aries might disrupt it. All week, protect your career position with a simple potion: gentleness, humor. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Tackle chores, Cap. Sleep properly, and protect your health from seasonal complaints. Continue to avoid legal suits. Retreat, contemplate and plan Sunday/Monday. Some of your ideas could be brilliant, especially in areas of labour and career. Your energy and charisma return somewhat midweek – your home/family hold surprises (and you’re tense there) so train your efforts on career, prestige, document and educational fronts. Spend, chase money Thursday to Saturday – luck accompanies you! But buy no machinery, computer or auto. All week, diplomatically sidestep opinionated people. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 A love affair might have begun recently, or could this week. It’s quite likely that your “amour” stumbles over speech, acts nervous, or has a temper (or a critical side). You need to decide whether to fuse together, or to wait until someone else wanders down the path. I have no advice: only that, if your motives are pure, this affair should be fine. It certainly has a sexy side. Your popularity and optimism soar Sunday/Monday. A wish might come true! Retreat, find rest and solitude Tuesday/Wednesday. Your energy, charisma and clout surge Thursday to Saturday – start something! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 The accent remains on home, property, family, nature, nutrition, and soul. Be restful – this is a bit of a hibernation time. Your luck in real estate grows – to June 2013. Be ambitious Sunday/Monday, but deftly avoid money discussions (Thursday also) especially with a partner or prospective client. Your hopes rise – so does your popularity – Tuesday/Wednesday. But take care both evenings, as monetary or sensual disappointment can occur. Retreat Thursday to noon Saturday – lie low, rest, contemplate and plan. Though you’re tired, your luck soars in home, realty, love and art. www.astralreflections.com. Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 604-727-3673 /30/
