ASTRAL REFLECTIONS BY TIM STEPHENS DECEMBER 30, 2012 – JANUARY 5, 2013 All times/dates are PST. Oops, blew it. I published my new phone # last week, and gave the wrong #!%. My true tel is 604-886-4808. (I had given you “866” instead.) Everybody is generous in their own way. The cosmos is generous, too, and often fulfills our wishes. Here’s a little “trick” I invented a few years ago. It’s very easy: write your most heart-felt wish on a piece of paper. Address it to God, to the universe, etc. Fold this paper in half, two times (so you have 4 layers). Place it under your mattress, and leave it there until you forget about it. In a week or so, I’ll tell you why this works. The month ahead features PISCES’ wishes, which are most likely to succeed if the wish is written 2 p.m. January 10 to 11 a.m. January 11. (All times PST.) Because I can’t cover the whole year for everyone in this small preamble, here are the immediate “best wish” times for all signs: LIBRA, write your wish between dawn and 1:30 p.m. December 31. SCORPIO might get good results if he/she does this January 2, 12:01 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. SAGITTARIUS’ best time is January 5, before 3 p.m. CAPRICORN, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. January 6. AQUARIUS (I already gave you this wish method a few weeks ago) – January 8, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. ARIES, write, fold and place your wish 9 p.m. to midnight on the 12th. TAURUS, try anytime on the 15th (strongest after 11 p.m.). GEMINI, January 17, noon to midnight, or January 31, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. CANCER, try January 19, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. LEO, your “wish time” this month is anytime between 9:50 a.m. January 21 to 3:30 a.m. January 23. VIRGO, make your wish on the 28th, 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. or February 21, 3 a.m. to 6 p.m. Some notes: the outcome of your wish is affected by your faith in the results, and, ultimately, by your faith in the benevolence of the cosmos/the divine. (Wishes seldom come true if you’re bitter or resentful.) Oddly enough, frivolous wishes do come true – if, under a mask of frivolity, you’re actually contacting a crucial desire. These things determine whether your wish will come true: 1) is it fair to everyone? Is your desire deep and central? (Don’t grit your teeth – desire is NOT determination or will power.) Do you believe it can come true? Are you writing it in a calm, reverent mood, without distractions? Is it realistic? One last note: fate, destiny are controlled by our unconscious. The more your wish aligns with your unconsciousness’s purposes and goals, the more quickly and solidly it will come true. Good luck, my friends! Start Nothing: 1:52 p.m. Mon. to 9:35 a.m. Tues., 4:15 a.m. to 5:11 p.m. Thurs., and 3:13 p.m. to 10:09 p.m. Sat. Aries March 21-April 19 Chase practical and prestigious goals all week, Aries. Higher-ups might test your qualifications or talents. Sunday (disappointment in the intimate zone) and Monday (sweet success early) are romantic, draw you to someone whose mind or experience pleases and enlightens you. (A person met Monday before 2 p.m. is “mate material.”) Tackle chores midweek – you’ll succeed, but be alert for electrical or computer “dangers.” Relationships – and opportunities, and opposition – fill Thursday night to Saturday. The best developments or openings arise before dawn Friday, and Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20 A gentle, understanding mood continues. This is an excellent few weeks to succeed at school, to travel afar, to perform intellectual tasks, or to deal with the media. You’re a slow-starter, Taurus, so if you’re a student, get the jump on everyone else by starting your studies early. Home, family and security concerns are slated Sunday/Monday – despite a roadblock Sunday eve, you’ll accomplish something special. Midweek’s romantic – and this month is love-blessed, so take a chance. Risk your heart. Chores arise Thursday eve to Saturday. Avoid a disagreement Friday morning. Gemini May 21-June 20 Research, lift the corners to see what’s beneath. Your subconscious rises to the surface – dreams, sexual urges, financial hunches emerge. Steep yourself in these – you could find a treasure within (insights that solve old personal riddles) or without (good investments, etc.). You might find your private or secret searches conflict with friends and social life. Short trips, communications and acquaintances fill Sunday (some barriers) and Monday (good). Tackle domestic concerns midweek: kids, food, real estate, security, retirement plans, etc. Is that love or lust late week? Cancer June 21-July 22 Chase money Sunday/Monday, Cancer – but avoid speculation, risk and romance. Midweek brings friends, trips, emails, paperwork and variety – be curious, there’s much to learn. A glitch might occur at work or with higher-ups around Thursday: not a big deal. Be friendly, not rebellious. Get home, nurture kids, Thursday night to Saturday. You’re in an important relationship month. About seven per cent of Cancers will meet their true love each year between 2009 and 2024. And the “meeting” is most likely to occur in late December or January. So respond to overtures and your own urges. Leo July 23-Aug. 22 The weeks ahead are a bit of a slog, Leo – work, health, dependents. Your job is changing, perhaps not with fireworks, but deeply and irrevocably. The job you performed pre-2009, and perhaps the job you do now, likely won’t exist in a decade. Realize this; go with the flow. Your charisma and energy soar Sunday/Monday – you could attract someone who would be a “workable mate.” (NOT before 7 p.m. Sunday.) Chase money midweek – buy/sell, seek new clients – but don’t buy high tech, computers. Trips, friendships, details and paperwork fill Friday (pre-dawn succeeds) and Saturday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Take risks, in heart and pocketbook (within reason). You’re on a winning streak. Romance, pleasure, creative surges, joys from children, sports and games fill your days – or your thoughts. But private obligations or weariness dampen romantic aspirations Sunday p.m. Your charisma, energy and sense of timing soars Tuesday to Thursday. You can attract others: sparks might flash, even blaze. Start important things. You’re now in a major marriage phase, but it has little urgency, for it lasts until 2025. Chase money, buy/sell, seek new clients, angle for a pay raise Friday/Saturday. Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22 For you, the New Year is always a time of leaving the old and starting the new, especially in the areas of home, family, real estate, and general foundations. This is particularly so from 2009-24, as Pluto will not let old systems, relationships and platforms remain: change is inevitable. Sunday/Monday give you a solid glimpse of the new – mixed Sunday, “all systems go” Monday. Be glad, be friendly, and wish for your future! Retreat, rest midweek – home, security, money, all have good solutions. Your energy rises Thursday eve to Saturday. Let someone know you’re “available.” Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Calls and messages lead you along a trail this week – to ambitious situations Sunday/Monday, to friends and celebrations midweek, and to obligations and duties Thursday eve onward. But the most important thing in all this are the calls and messages and the information they contain. What you learn now, and the contacts you make, can lead to future advantages. For example, on Sunday/Monday you might learn the boss’s favorite sport, and be able later to use this. Your income remains good, buoyant: take advantage quickly. Be gentle at home all January: channel energy into repairs. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Chase money all week, Sage. Buy/sell, seek more clients, angle for a pay raise, etc. You remain charming, attractive – and your “sensual quotient” is high. You might make a friend this January who now or later turns into a lover. You express yourself with superb creativity all month, and handle all details, errands and paperwork with speedy accuracy. Travel’s a pleasure. (A potential partner or opportunity remains elusive until the 30th – but February into June explodes with solid results here.) Sunday/Monday are mellow, wise – explore, learn. Be ambitious midweek. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Your energy, charisma, effectiveness and sense of timing hit a yearly peak for the three weeks ahead, Cap. Start important projects, ask favours, see and be seen. All January, more money than usual flows to you – bank it, or you could lose it – and more. A minor income source might end. Your communication skills suddenly return, but love is waiting one more week. Sunday (careful) and Monday (good) bring secrets, sensual and financial urges/hunches – research. Understanding, gentle love flow midweek. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday – you’ll succeed, especially early Friday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Not your favorite time of year, Aquarius. You’re weary, your health needs sensible care, and others might be pressing you to fulfill old obligations (e.g., tax man, bill collectors). But it’s also a superb time to catch a second breath, plan future action, and interface with civil servants and administrative types. God, spirit, charity flow in you. Paradoxically, your attitude might be more aggressive than usual – turn this into friendliness, humor. A short but significant trip looms. Sunday/Monday bring opposition and opportunity (for loving partnership, especially, Monday). Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Dreams can come true, Pisces, especially this month, especially for you. (Read this week’s preamble for further clues.) Higher-ups favour you to January 8, so propose ventures, or forge ahead with research or financial projects. All month, steer clear of belligerent people and dark alleys. You might receive money from the government, or receive a demand for same. Tackle chores Sunday/Monday – you’ll succeed. Partnerships, marriage, co-operation, opportunities – and, possibly, enmity, opposition – fill midweek. Mysteries, sensual urges, money hunches fill Friday/Saturday. www.astralreflections.com.
