ASTRAL REFLECTIONS
BY TIM STEPHENS
JULY 8 - 14, 2007

	All times/dates are PDT.
	GEMINI, the 17 years ahead (2008-2024) end a decade of relationship frustration. At last you will meet people who do not demand to be in charge, insist on their way, refuse to consider your P.O.V., who are secretive, inscrutable, and, after all that, stubborn. You might have met one - or two - of these types in a big way this year - and yet, oddly, this one is the best of the inscrutable bunch - combining secrecy with openness, magnanimity with stubbornness, etc. You might also have been "targeted" by someone much older or younger. In general, 2007's relationships benefit you, as you meet cheerful, lucky, friendly types (even among those secretive ones).
	But a completely new relationship "field" should exist from 2008 to 2024. The people entering in 2008 might not be "keepers," even though they're lucky for you - instead, they're likely to be catalysts, designed to lure you from present bonds or emptiness, in order to free you for the parade of fresh faces, feelings and mutual attractions to march past you in the following years. (If you're happily mated already, 2008 and beyond will merely bring fascinating researches, investments, etc.) Sexual situations you enter in 2008 might not last (or, perhaps worse, they might last for almost two decades, yet never firm into a deep, committed, open and approved bond such as marriage - or create an unfaithful bond). However, financial relationships that emerge in 2008 could last a long time, and raise your net worth - perhaps hugely! 
	But in financial relationships/partnerships, you'll have to be astute and careful, not because bad luck lurks, but because you'll be dealing with powerful trends and elements, not all of them apparent. (In fact, you might look back after, say, 15 years and think: "Wow. I just understood why that negotiation went that way.") Another consideration: these potential partnerships are likely to connect inextricably with work or service of some sort. The question might become: who is serving whom? One more thing: look at your own life (or visit an astrologer) - if you are not suited for financial partnership, then this 17 years would not be a good period to enter one.
	In any case, 2008 could be one of the most successful investment years of your entire life. You could start something that grows and grows, or make a property investment that keeps you secure for a long time. The accent will be on property that is connected to work - factories, warehouses, a working farm, a house that has potential for setting up an office or shop within, etc. 
	It will be a fascinating, mysterious, intriguing 17 years of discovery, Gemini!

Start Nothing: 6:06 a.m. to 10:54 a.m. Sun., 9:54 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. Tues., 2:12 p.m. to 3:39 p.m. Thurs., and 5:04 a.m. to 7:43 p.m. Sat.

Aries   March 21-April 19
Delays end on the home front. You can accomplish a major amount here Thursday eve to early Saturday morning. Confessions and good feelings with family members, happy visions of the domestic future fill Friday night. A flirtation might trigger a "home mate." A burden is lifted off you, also (Tuesday) - it might not even be a tangible, concrete burden but a feeling of psychic lightness. Earlier, July 8, destiny might bring you a release in love, or a new adventure. One romance might shut down soon, another begin. 

Taurus   April 20-May 20
You're extra busy. The delays and mistakes of the past several weeks end Monday night. So charge ahead with communications, emails, calls, trips, errands, writing, reports and all detail work. Your home remains the center of your feelings and affections, but Saturday (July 14) will begin a few weeks of romantic and creative "searching." (It won't last long, for by early August - into October - your heart returns "home." You might be creating a baby, or a new home, undertaking a major property facelift, etc. late summer or autumn!) 

Gemini   May 21-June 20
Delays and mistakes end in money, earnings, spending, casual sex, and taking care of your possessions. This week's smooth and easy, but it contains some momentous solutions. Sunday, though you're tired, news or a communication opens the door to understanding relationships more deeply. You could be facing your future mate, or deciding not to cheat on your spouse. On some level, this day improves your "relationship destiny" - a theme that will be played again and again this summer/autumn, as you exit a decade of difficult "interfacings." Tuesday eve, more solutions!

Cancer   June 21-July 22
Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar! Delays and indecisions disappear. Start important projects, especially Thursday eve and Friday. Ask favors. You feel friendly, social Sunday, and should invite friends over or go visiting. Something comes up this day, like fog comes up the San Francisco hills, slow and deep, almost unnoticeable - but it contains a great bit of luck in money, possessions, purchasing, work, machinery, or service. Be alert! Then, Monday/Tuesday, your mind is on fire with inspirations, love of humankind, or some similar unselfish thing. Rest mid-week.

Leo   July 23-Aug. 22
You're weary - rest, contemplate, protect your health and your reputation. Higher-ups, VIPs, and parents are temperamental, impatient right into early August. Work enough to keep them happy. A minor rash of indecision, small annoyances, forgetfulness and mistakes ends. You remain attractive, gracious despite the frustrations of life. Sunday, those gracious ways could open the door to love, or give you a deep, quiet reassurance of your magnetism - perhaps from someone's stray glance. Your hopes rise mid-week - Tuesday offers a sexy meeting, or an insight into "big money."  Rest Friday/Saturday.

Virgo   Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Delays, mistakes and indecision end - you can see your future clearly this week and next - do something about it. (Especially Sunday, when "destiny" agrees with action you take in real estate, family, retirement or similar zones - and Tuesday, when a special relationship grows exhilaratingly friendly, or you could meet someone sizzling at a social function. But love is a secondary theme this year: primarily, you should rest, remake your life, and build the foundation for future love - which could come in a big way next year!) You popularity soars Thursday-Saturday! 

Libra   Sept. 23-Oct. 22
A hope or vision of your future that has come over the last month (since June 5) is an important one, likely to last into early October, and to put its stamp on your thoughts, personality and life. It's connected to family, real estate, children, or a security issue. Sunday, this flower of hope might bloom in deep ways, especially if you communicate seriously to another. You often don't communicate seriously because you fear it will make too deep an impression, or be inappropriate. But now's the time.

Scorpio   Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Ah, Scorpio, what to do with you? You have such a huge heart, much bigger than mine, yet you might have filled your life with a bunch of other stuff, businesses, friends, fashions, little marks of success - perhaps because you haven't found THE love to fill it.  Patience - from 2011 onward, you'll know what true love is. Meantime, this week is sweet, mellow, and loving. Travel internationally, if you haven't already the last two weeks. Past delays, indecisions end. Charge into career/money zones Sunday, and into romance/sexual urges/situations Tuesday.

Sagittarius   Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Delays, mistakes and indecision end. You're free to move forward, especially in sexual, financial, lifestyle and health areas. These prove lucky - and prominent - Thursday eve to Saturday. You're changing your life - that's good! Earlier, Sunday offers a hardly noticeable but deep and powerful opening to wisdom, love and destiny. Only by recognizing the spiritual in yourself will you ever be freed to pursue your whole destiny, Sage - that's been the lesson of the last 12 years. Monday/Tuesday offer an insight into how you could change your life - by friendship?

Capricorn   Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The delays and broken promises of past weeks fade - plow ahead quickly to seek agreements, relationships, contacts, contracts, etc. Think about relocation, study opportunities, negotiate terms. Others have control (for the moment) but you can gain by helping them. Your investments (and sex life) haven't been great for the last two years, but Sunday opens a door to understanding why - perhaps even to a solution, even a success (even love). Communications help relationships Tuesday - you could charm someone important - or squelch an employee rebellion by a display of friendship.

Aquarius   Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Reduce domestic friction through early August - dig the garden (avoid fertilizer!) repair, renovate, but don't fight. If travel is an irritant, is freedom the deeper issue? You demand it, but do you grant it? Links remain sweet this week - Sunday might bring, in a deep, quiet way, a relationship dream come true! Delays and mistakes, especially in work, machinery, service and health zones, end Monday night. A money, income, sale or purchase situation is lucky Tuesday, especially at night - this could also signal a quick, happy sensual encounter!

Pisces   Feb. 19-March 20
Delays, indecision, false opportunities, chaos and mistakes end Monday night, especially in creative, beauty, romantic, and child-raising areas. So charge ahead with these - you're still on a winning streak for two full, beautiful weeks! (Especially Tuesday, you're your ideas could amaze a prospect or lover, and Thursday eve to Saturday, when one long romantic/creative streak could spark a new love or artistic success.) Sunday features, almost unnoticeably but deeply, strongly, a work/career opportunity or success. Listen to your hunches; follow that quiet, tiny nudge. Rest, seek quietude, contemplate mid-week.
