ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS FEBRUARY 13 – 19, 2011 All times/dates are PST. Now to June, LEO, you face one of the best chances in years to meet your life mate. Your amour might be foreign-born, a scholar, well-travelled, or involved in cultural, legal, or publishing enterprises. Since these zones flow with splendid luck for you, not only to June but beyond, to mid-2012, why not plunge into one of them? You could find practical success – and love! From June 2011 onward, your love might well appear in your career environment. April might bring an old flame. November/December can cause a delay in romance – be patient: sensuality will cure this, if anything can. Strong possibilities of a wedding occur in April, July and October. VIRGO, this isn’t so much a romantic as a sensual, sexual time. Until June, and again November (right into July 2012) your sexual magnetism surges, and physical attractions spring up. You hunger for change now, and a love affair can be the vehicle of change. But don’t become involved with someone merely to bring about change. If you did, you would soon after feel this person was a burden. (Instead, find change through relocation, investments, etc.) Guard against attracting those who are not eligible for partnership, already attached, etc. In the broader romantic picture, you’re entering a 15-year period of intensified attractions and heady romantic-marital feelings. From June onward, true love and wedding bells are increasingly likely! LIBRA, for the past eight years love has been elusive, or “half there.” But the year ahead brings a one-two punch of good fortune: February to June, 2011, offers sparkling prospects – you’ll meet attractive new people, at least one of whom represents a viable partner. Then June 2011 to June 2012 deepens intimacy and nudges couples to make fruitful commitments, to build/buy a home or nest egg, to give birth, to establish loving closeness – to carve out a new world with one you love. Until June, defer to another, be a joiner. June onward, walk a big detour around “triangle territory.” SCORPIO, love isn’t your top priority before June 2011 – you’re too concerned with work and health issues, and with your children’s success (depending on your age). However, don’t give your loved one the impression he/she’s not appreciated, or you could be brewing resentment. From June onward, your romantic and marital prospects surge. Others will treat you with optimism and cheerfulness, and many exciting meetings will occur. You’re entering a major true love phase, and you could meet its main actor now to next June (2012). Sensuality will be a prominent theme – by which you will know who is true, who not. Start Nothing: 7:19 p.m. to 9:49 p.m. Sun., 11:06 p.m. Tues. to 1:14 a.m. Wed., 0:36 a.m. to 1:39 a.m. Fri., and after 11:18 p.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 Travel, call during an active, friendly Sunday. But this night, settle into home – and there, through Monday/Tuesday, tackle some difficult questions around relationships, marriage, and life’s opportunities. (Are there any left for you? Yes, many, but they’re all connected to ambition, career, until late 2012.) Tuesday’s better; a “secret” friend or stranger might help. Romance, creativity, pleasure and beauty whisk you to adventure midweek! (Don’t start a love relationship this week, though. It’s doomed long term.) Plunge into chores Friday/Saturday. Chase fun, friends, all week . Taurus April 20-May 20 The accent lies on ambition, career, dealings with VIPs, bosses and parents. Take a quiet, behind-the-scenes approach. Confidential discussions, private planning, quietly lining up allies, contacting/applying to government or institutions – all these contain a quiet but lucky “change.” Chase money or shop Sunday, but NOT for techie items. Monday (barriers) and Tuesday (success) bring errands, communications, paperwork, details. Midweek accents home, and a choice between ambition and relaxation. Romance calls Friday/Saturday. All week, avoid over-exertion, physical and intellectual. Gemini May 21-June 20 DON’T fall in love, propose, or chase a new romance this week. You’ve started to achieve success in group and social situations – and this will continue for four months of solid, heart-warming growth. If you’re single, this might well yield a new love. But not this week. You shine Sunday: start new projects, ask favours, show your talents. Your intuition is superb, so just do, rather than over-think. Quit by suppertime. Money, purchases and possessions fill Monday (barriers, waste) and Tuesday (success – buy high-tech). Communicate, travel midweek. Home, rest Friday/Saturday. Cancer June 21-July 22 Mysteries continue, for one more week. Seek the truth beneath appearances. Dig deep. (Someone acts sweet but can’t or won’t do what theyoHHho seem to promise. Applies all week.) Rest, plan and meditate Sunday. Visit a psychic, pastor or other counsellor. Your energy, charisma and effectiveness surge Monday/Tuesday. Monday holds refusals despite your luck, but you might vault over them. Tuesday favours you, especially in two areas: friendship, and depths. (So again, dig deep.) Chase money or a sensual bond Wednesday (good) and Thursday (goals might be elusive). Talk, travel Friday/Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Relationships are accented, but don’t fall in love nor propose this week. (Don’t worry – if such seems imminent, there’s still lots of time.) Wishes come true Sunday – happiness, friends, light romance and popularity paint your future with golden strokes! But retreat this night through Tuesday: you need a short but deep rest: seek quietude, plan, contemplate. You’ll spy the inner workings of love Tuesday. Your energy, charisma and effectiveness surge upward Wednesday/Thursday – strike early Wednesday, in legal, travel, intellectual areas. Chase and conserve money Friday/Saturday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 This is your last week of work, Virgo – Friday begins a month of fresh breezes, exciting meetings, new horizons and opportunities. (Opportunities are unusually important this winter/spring – seizing them can change your life.) Until Friday afternoon, complete chores, especially the obligations that “show up” Wednesday/Thursday – if neglected they will weigh you down later, just when you should be rising. Earlier, chase practical and prestige goals Sunday – success accompanies the ambitious! Wishes, optimism and social joys mark Monday/Tuesday. All week, DON’T begin a new love. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 The romantic theme continues, but DO NOT begin a love affair or new relationship this week. Other themes, creativity, speculation, beauty, pleasure and teaching, are fine. Generally, you are (or your subconscious is) putting on the brakes a bit in all these areas, preparing for a subsequent surge. Sunday’s splendid – intellectual, travel, love and communication projects succeed. Exercise your ambitions Monday (dilemmas of choice) and Tuesday (success via creative effort). Social delights, flirtations, wish fulfillment arrive midweek! Retreat Friday/Saturday: plan the work that looms. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Your “hibernation” period continues, so rest deeply – until Friday, when a month of romance, pleasure, speculation, risk and adventure starts! Neither make nor accept any partnership proposals this week (nor persuasive pitches for commitment of any kind). Sunday offers superb financial, investment, research, diagnostic and intimate opportunities. Sit down with a loved one for a deep, exploratory talk. Gentle wisdom enters Monday/Tuesday. Be ambitious mid-week, especially first thing Wednesday morning. (Avoid self-deception.) Friday/Saturday bring social delights and bright optimism! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 If a new wish or life goal comes to you this week, Sage, don’t invest a lot of faith in it; your destiny is very likely going to detour around this one. Sunday’s filled with opportunities (or opposition if you push others too hard) – exciting meetings or openings “synch” with your intuition. It’s a good time to answer “yes” on a whim. Life’s depths and mysteries rise to the surface Monday/Tuesday: DON’T invest, commit, nor seek intimacy Monday – Tuesday, these succeed. Gentle love, understanding, cultural stuff Wednesday/Thursday. Friday begins a month of domestic matters. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Continue to seek money, new clients, to buy and sell, until Friday. Your personality has grown more gracious and alluring the past week or so, and this helps you with ambitions this week. You’re slowly changing, and slowly but seriously climbing, carving out a new “position” this decade. Tackle chores Sunday – you accomplish much! Relationships contain opportunity and opposition Monday, but success and good feelings Tuesday. Finances, investigation, intimacy, lifestyle choices are blessed Wednesday, “iffy” Thursday. Wisdom, gentle love come Friday/Saturday. A busy month begins. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Your energy, effectiveness and charisma continue at a peak...sexual magnetism drips from you too. (Hmm, not sure of that image.) You might attract amorous attention, but DON’T begin a love affair now (nor ever with anyone you first meet this week). Sunday’s romantic, creative, pleasurable and beautiful – you’ll win at games or love! Tackle chores Monday (results uncertain) and Tuesday (good results). Relationships, opportunities, exciting meetings fill Wednesday (lucky morning!) and Thursday (be diplomatic, not evasive). Friday’s financial, and begins a month of money efforts. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Continue to lie low, rest, contemplate and plan. Refresh your spirit. Friday begins a month of fresh energy, rising charisma and effectiveness – but rest until then. Sunday’s splendid at home or in nature – a great day to enhance your security, deal with family members, garden, etc. Romance, creativity and beauty touch you lightly Monday/Tuesday, but the best that comes from this is friendship. It’s not quite time, Pisces. Tackle chores and health concerns Wednesday/Thursday. Wednesday morning’s efforts can open a lucky career door. Exciting meetings, opportunities occur Friday/Saturday. www.astralreflections.com Email: timstephens@shaw.ca. For a reading: 416-686-5014. /30/
