ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS SEPTEMBER 16 - 22, 2007 All times/dates are Pacific Daylight. On the last three good real estate finds I made, the realtor's first name started with "C." This isn't coincidence. You can use people's first names for many purposes. First, let's divide the alphabet into 12 segments. They are: 1: A (sometimes R). 2: B, I. 3: C, E, X. 4: M, O (sometimes D). 5: F, W. 6: G, N (sometimes R). 7: P, L. 8: K. 9: J, U, Q. 10: S, H, Y. 11: V (sometimes D) and 12: T, Z. (Notice R and D are a "sometimes" number for 2 segments each - sorry, you'll just have to accept the embedded uncertainty.) Here's how to use these segments: Locate the number of your own first name. (E.g., "Pamela" would be P = 7.) Now count down four segments, INCLUDING your own letter's segment. (Again, Pamela = P = 7, so the fourth segment would be 7, 8, 9, then 10 = S, H, and Y.) The letters in this segment are the first letter(s) of the first name of a realtor who can help you find the best home, land, etc., for you. If you're in a terrible lawsuit that just won't end, and the other party's lawyer (and/or your own) is obviously prolonging it from spite, greed or for whatever reason, locate the other lawyer's first name in the list above. Then, counting that letter's segment as "1," count along until you reach the 8th segment. Hire a lawyer whose first name starts with one of the letters in this 8th slot. (E.g., say the opposing lawyer is Harold Smith = H = segment 10. Counting along, starting with H as "1," you come to segment 5 = F and W. So hire a lawyer whose first name starts with F or W - Fred, Wanda, etc.) This lawyer will likely outmaneuver your opponent's lawyer, and push him/her into a settlement. If it isn't the lawyer, but the other party (e.g., your ex-spouse) who is dragging things out from spite, greed, stubbornness or whatever, hire a lawyer whose first name is # 8 to your enemy's first name. (E.g., if you're battling "Allan," then hire a "K" first name, e.g., "Keith." If you're fighting a "B" hire a J, U or Q.) Now, just to save myself from lawsuits, I'm not guaranteeing results from these letter methods - try them in an exploratory way. Another example: count to # 5 from your own initial: these are people who will most likely make your heart swell with romantic attraction. E.g., if you're "Tom" = T, then your # 5 segment is M and O and sometimes D. (Remember, ALWAYS count your own name - or your staring point if you're investigating another's name - as "1.") Which of your children is most likely to follow in your domestic footsteps? Your # 4 segment gives a clue. (E.g., if you're "Pam," a child starting with S, H or Y.) Start Nothing: 4:40 p.m. Sun. to 5:21 a.m. Mon., 9:48 a.m. to 4:52 p.m. Wed., and 11:15 p.m. Fri. to 1:18 a.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 Your last week of "grunge work" for a while, Aries. A job role or significant task might face "revision" Monday into Wednesday. You'll hear about it Wednesday to Friday, when you can rebel, surrender or wait. Whatever happens, it signals freedom, fading burdens. Soon, fresh horizons and exciting people will enter! You're still restless, talkative, curious, which helps you with members of the opposite sex - matters here smooth out, bring luck and pleasure all week. Legal, travel, intellectual, religious and higher learning concerns go well late Monday into Tuesday. Taurus April 20-May 20 Romantic, creative and speculative urges are still powerful this week, but they're undergoing a "revision" Monday through Wednesday, then smooth out late Wednesday to Friday. This week is a microcosm of big trends. Pre-Wednesday shows you the heart upheavals of 1983-to-present. Post Wednesday hints of the huge influence of gentle love, understanding and mental joys that will pertain from 2008-2024. You're going to be happy, mellow and far-sighted as never before! If single, you'll meet, love and marry. But all that's next year onward. Be careful with money, authority Friday. Gemini May 21-June 20 Home, real estate, children, relocation, security and retirement face deep changes and adjustments, especially Monday and Wednesday. But this is the last big "revision" of these areas that you'll face in this lifetime. You might, since 1995, have felt alienated from your kids, perhaps due to your dealings with the opposite sex. But from 2008 onward, you begin to speak easily with them, feel close, and understand their processes. Ditto domesticity, marriage, sex and investments. Be cautious toward spouse, others, late week - anger wrestles with change; affection with deception. Cancer June 21-July 22 This is your last week of "easy stuff" - errands, emails, paperwork, calls, short trips, curiosity, reading the newspaper. But it's an eventful week, under the surface if not above. Step warily Monday and Thursday/Friday, when government, tax authorities, institutions, head office, or simply people who don't like you can mount an offensive if you "tweak" them. It's not a good time to reveal secrets, gossip, or chase a clandestine attraction. Money's lucky Tuesday (when work goes well) and perhaps Friday (be alert). Your methods of work and communication change. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Chase money, but be cautious. This is not the best week for purchases - be wary of high tech and machinery "offerings." A minor adjustment occurs in your financial/earnings outlook. This precedes a major, two-decade-long work trend that will start in 2008 - one that brings real estate or food/shelter elements into your work scene. (But more on that in 2008.) Contain worries, impulsivity and temper Sunday/Monday - all's okay! Romance and beauty, creativity and a "risk urge" call sweetly Monday eve, Tuesday, unsuccessfully Wednesday. Is it friend, foe or lover Thursday/Friday? Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Your energy, charisma and effectiveness continue high. This is your last week of "high gear" for a while, so charge ahead! Ask favors, seek relationships, and contemplate relocation. DON'T invest Sunday to Monday afternoon. Home, real estate, family, security, nutrition, retirement and nature hold luck Tuesday. A change is coming to all these areas, which leads, somehow, to two decades (starting in 2008) of freedom, creativity, romance, happiness with children - a new life! Your intuition about money is superb Tuesday. Thursday/Friday are romantic, pleasurable, but be cautious in career/work, reputation, and home. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 It's your last week of gloom and doom, weariness and feeling like a pawn of fate. This week contains the last "revision" of your travel, communication, writing and administrative involvements. (It's a fairly mild, almost unnoticeable adjustment; these matters succeed Tuesday.) After this, by 2008 onward, all the revisions will be in another zone: home, real estate, family, diet, etc. Take care with partners, spouse, legalities and ethics, especially Monday and Thursday/Friday. Saturday starts a weekend of romantic notions - and a month of high energy, luck and success! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Celebrate life and friends - soon, a month of quietude, burdens, rest and relative solitude begins. Your energy and charisma shine Sunday. Earnings and spending habits undergo a "revision" this week, especially Monday to Wednesday - it's the last significant change to your monetary attitude/stance for decades. This revision (and those of the last few years) set you up to enjoy life more, to immerse yourself in travel, talk, explorations, friendships, etc. (These begin/grow in 2008.) Be cautious about earnings and investments Thursday/Friday. Favor/affection in career areas fights home front worries. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Lie low, rest Sunday. Your vigor, charisma and effectiveness rise Monday to Wednesday, but this time (like all this week) contains a few bumps and barriers. Relationships are strained Monday if someone's temperamental - be cool, diplomatic. Your intuitive intelligence shines Tuesday - seek cultural, social venues. Your personality, especially your ambitious side, undergoes its last significant adjustment this week - by 2008 onward, you'll find money much easier to make, and your personal "self" much easier to deal with. But watch those relationships again Thursday/Friday: don't be cruel, nor accept cruelty! Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 The hectic pace continues. Don't overwork, because you'll want to be "fresh" for a whole month of career effort, performance issues, ambitions, etc. that begins September 23. But realize, too, that your work this week contributes points to your (formal or hidden) "performance review" in upcoming weeks. Seek a balance. After a happy Sunday, someone's temper causes a possible problem Monday, and you're tired Monday-Wednesday. But your energy bounces back beautifully Thursday/Friday. All week, expect changes, "policy edicts," ethical dilemmas and "which duty do I honor?" choices. You'll succeed! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Your romantic, happy-children, pleasure-loving streak continues, and relationships remain affectionate, pleasant. But this week has a few deep turns and consequences, so be alert, contemplate cause and effect. Your sexual, financial, or health zones meet one last revision/adjustment before 2008 starts two decades of relative quiet on practical and ambition fronts. This is an easy, mild process. But Monday holds temper or a conflict between sexual and love drives, or between investment and "gambling" urges. This dilemma arises again Thursday/Friday. You're happy Monday-Wednesday, tired Thursday/Friday, an energetic world-beater Saturday! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Friction, hectic pace continue on home, property and family fronts. Be calm, collected - for 13 more days! Relationship "jockeying" - and money, ambition, and home, food/shelter issues - can cause temperament, "cruel choices," especially Monday and Thursday/Friday. Be a diplomat! You face an adjustment in your career, or with higher-ups, authorities, parents, ambitions, etc. (E.g., Pisces students are meeting new teachers, finding they have to change approaches a little.) This actually, though not apparently, leads to a two-decade phase, starting 2008, of career ease, social "depths," and significant, happy new plans. www.astralfreflections.com.
