Yes, this might be the last column I’ll write for this web site. Might: I can’t decide yet. If so, the site will shut down. The problem isn’t popularity – in fact, according to web-monitoring firm ALEXA, Astral Reflections is more popular than the U.S. site that publishes about 100 different horoscope columns in one place. The problem is the site doesn’t make any money. It was initially just an offshoot of my newspaper column, Astral Reflections. When the group of newspapers that have carried the astral column was bought recently, the new owners decided to discontinue my column.

To continue this web site, I need to supply a new set of sun-sign forecasts every week – but without being paid. Were I 30 years old, even 40 or 50, I would take the site and try to make it work – say by subscription. For $ 1 a column or $ 52 a year, a subscriber could access the astral site and read their weekly forecast, as well as the “platform” articles. I might try this.
But I’m in my 60’s. When you get older, you lose elasticity, not only physically, but emotionally, in the heart. Since my column was yanked from the newspapers, I’ve felt like I’ve been released from prison. And I have other writing to do, which I’ve put off for 30 years.

So I probably will not continue. Being a Gemini, though, I’m just not sure. I’m going to ask you a favour: check back here on May 15. If I’m going to continue, you’ll see the May 19 column.

I WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM PERSONAL READINGS FOR CLIENTS. Just call me at 604-886-4808.

Meanwhile, if you want to take a permanent copy of any of the articles here, e.g., the Love Forecast or the “Uranus” or “Neptune” articles, please do so. Just open the article you want (e.g., “2013 Year Ahead”) then highlight the part you want, right-click, then click “copy” – or “print” – whichever you prefer.
I want to thank all my readers, as well as the editorial staff of the Courier and other LMPL newspapers, and the papers in Montreal and Saskatchewan . And a special huge THANK YOU to CWJ, my long-suffering web master all these years, who worked even on weekends to operate this web site. It has been a fortunate, peaceful, lovely run. I couldn’t have asked for better.
Goodbye, friends.

(Now, I can’t resist adding this completely off-topic bit: During recent renovations, having discovered a patch of black mold, I idly brushed some wood petrifier on it. The mold disappeared instantly. Totally. Nothing but a shiny white wall, even a week later. So if you have black mold, try a $ 10 bottle of wood petrifier from your building supply store. (Or: pcepoxy.com.).     

Start Nothing:
6:32 a.m. Sun. to 2:57 a.m. Mon.,
5:14 a.m. to 3:38 p.m. Wed.,
and 9:34 p.m. Fri. to 2:33 a.m. Sat.


Aries - (March 21-April 19)
Continue to chase money, Aries. As this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac. Buy/sell, seek a pay raise, etc. But stop short of cutting corners, unrealistic expectations, pushing others, and buying on debt. If you know something’s wrong, don’t do it. Sunday’s active, but little happens of an enduring nature. Head for home Monday to midday Wednesday – nurture children, rest, eat well, connect with nature and your soul, work on the garden, on foundations and repairs. Take care Monday, especially with electrical and water systems/appliances. Romantic notions fill Wed. eve (ultimate refusal) through Fri. Love might get quite sensual. These few days also accent creative urges, speculation and children. To work, Saturday. (Again, watch potential water problems.)
Taurus - (April 20-May 20)
Your energy and charisma remain high, Taurus. (So does your sexual magnetism.) Chase whomever (or whatever) you want – but realize the best goal is relationship, a link to another (or others). Your money luck is beginning to improve, remains high into early June. (The 27-28 of May might trigger a new, successful money project.) You might “sense” this Sunday – otherwise, not a significant day. Communications, paperwork, travel, casual friends, siblings, errands and details – these fill Monday to midday Wednesday. (Difficulties arise in these if you live in Asia or Eastern Europe.) Home, family, security, retirement plans, food, real estate, gardening and “rest” fill Wed. to Fri. Romance, creativity, sports, speculation draw you Saturday – you’ll win! One note, Taurus: As this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac.

Gemini - (May 21-June 20)
As this might be the last week this web site will operate, Gemini, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac.
Sweet Venus is in Gemini now (has been since last Thursday) so although your energy remains low you radiate a subtle attractiveness. And Mercury, planet of talking, enters your sign this Wed. – so you’ll also be able to express yourself more easily and humorously. By the time the Sun enters Gemini May 20, and Mars May 31 – and with lucky Jupiter already there – you should be primed for a major, massive move forward, or a stroke of relationship luck, even “love and marriage” situations. However, this week you remain weary and mostly unenthusiastic. That’s okay. Rest, contemplate, plan and research. Be charitable, visit old friends and invalids. Handle (rather than chase) money Mon. to Wed. Travel, errands, details, friends and communications fill Wed. afternoon to Friday. Home, peace, kids, rest – and garden – Saturday.

Cancer - (June 21-July 22)
The accent remains on wish fulfillment, popularity, light romance, entertainment, group involvements, and plans for the future. Enjoy yourself! Rest deeply Sunday. Your energy and charisma soar Monday to midday Wed. – still, these days (and this decade) demand flexibility, diplomacy and co-operation from you. Don’t be fooled regarding an “escape hatch” Monday. Chase money Wednesday afternoon to Friday – luck is good, but watch and be cautious in two things: partnership finances, and money connected to work/career. These are not likely to be front and center – instead, any problems are brewing, will emerge later. Use the weekend for travel, errands, casual friends and communications – could be your last chance for a happy visit for awhile. As this might be the last week this Astral web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac.

Leo - (July 23-Aug. 22)
Continue to be on your best behavior in career, reputational and prestige areas. (Your best approach to these matters through February 2014, is to keep your head down and maintain the status quo. This whole time, you’ll likely feel that career projects are unreasonably slow and bosses uncaring – leave it that way. DON’T create excitement or try out any schemes on the work front.) Sunday’s happy, you’ll be noticed, admired; but nothing special is achieved. Retreat Mon. to Wed. afternoon: rest, contemplate, plan, re-unite with your spiritual self, be charitable, contact government agencies. Your energy and charisma soar Wed. p.m. to Friday: ask favours, start important projects (NOT in career) and impress people! Chase money, buy/sell Saturday.
As this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac.

Virgo - (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Hi, Virgo. As this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac. Sometimes, wisdom is just foolishness; sometimes, profundities are false. Keep that in mind this week, and through February 2014. Far travel, higher education, statistics, renown, gentle love and legal matters are still highlighted (until May 20) – and are still a bit dangerous. You might feel ambitious Sunday, but results will be small. Wishes come true Monday to midday Wednesday – you’ll be popular, happy, enthusiastic about the future. Light romance, social delights come. Monday’s iffy, though, and Wed.’s “weak,” so time important social things for Tuesday. Retreat Wed. afternoon to Fri. – lie low, rest, contemplate and plan. All’s well, unless you go exploring pre-dawn. Your energy rises Saturday – someone’s intrigued!

Libra - (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Life’s mysteries continue to swirl slowly around you this week. You still want to invest, jump into bed with that bright/dark-eyed someone, plunge into research, or charge forth and change your lifestyle. You don’t mind the dangers involved – but that’s exactly the problem, for these arenas are veiled in brilliant disguises that mask swamps, dead-ends, and delays. You’d lose, Libra, so stay out. Instead, focus on merely earning your daily bread. Someone sweet is looking after you, though you think they’re rejecting you. Read Gemini message about coming dates/trends – these will affect you, also, but in travel, international, educational, legal and love arenas. Soon, life grows sweet! (Clues Sunday.) Be ambitious Mon. to Wed. Popularity, social joys, light romance, optimism and wish fulfillment visit Wed. to Fri. Retreat Saturday. As this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you want to keep for the future, and paste them in your MS Word or Mac.

Scorpio - (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Scorpio, as this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you might want to have in future, and paste them in your own MS Word or Mac. Relationship opportunities (and opportunities in general) still lure you, but they probably contain a disappointment, so march forward on your own strengths and urges: be a bit selfish. (This advice applies generally to late February 2014.) This Sunday waves a gauze flag of intrigue , money and lust, but there’s nothing behind the flag. Gentle love, far travel, higher education, legalities, social rituals and culture fill Mon. to Wed. (Don’t issue a legal challenge Monday.) Ambitions and relations with higher-ups fill Wed. eve to Fri. – mostly luckily! Social delights, popularity, flirtations and a wish coming true: that’s Saturday.

Sagittarius - (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Give a sigh of relief, Sage: this is your last week of drudgery and boredom for awhile. As this might also be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you want to keep for the future, and paste them in your MS Word or Mac. Sunday brings relationships and opportunities, but without much substance. The depths of life, subterranean currents, flow Monday to Wed., but if you dive into them Monday, you could trigger glitches that affect long-term results. Tuesday’s good. Romantic, creative, speculative and pleasure urges fill Wed. afternoon to Friday. (Problems interfere if you live in Europe or Asia.) Be ambitious Saturday. Soon, your relationship luck will soar. (Read Gemini message for hints, timing.)

Capricorn - (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is your last week (for awhile) of romance, pleasure, beauty, creativity, games/sports, speculation and self-expression, so enjoy it while you can. Even now, work is beginning to appeal to you in a small way; by Wednesday you’ll start discussing work, and by next week you’ll be immersed in it. Sunday holds clues, but otherwise is a rather “nothing day” – pamper your health. Relationships, exciting meetings, challenge from a peer, actually, an “equal,” opportunities and oppositions – these fill Mon. to Wed. Careful Monday midnight, very early Tuesday: disruptions, splits possible. Mysteries, secrets, lust, large finances and possible lifestyle changes arrive Wed. eve to Fri. Gentle love, profound thoughts, far travel, intellectual and legal success Sat. As this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you want to keep for the future, and paste them in your MS Word or Mac.

Aquarius-(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
It’s your last week of domesticity and sluggish energy, Aquarius. It might also be the last week this web site will operate, so please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you want to keep for the future, and paste them in your MS Word or Mac. Sunday’s romantic but yields little: so just soak in the pleasure and beauty of this day. Tackle chores and protect your health (diet’s important) Mon. to Wed. Careful late Monday – follow safety standards. Relationships, opportunities and opposition fill Wed. eve to Fri. Other than pre-dawn Thurs. and Fri., these are great, forward days. Saturday brings mysteries, sexual urges and large finances – success, if you avoid deception. A major romance might loom on the horizon!

Pisces - (Feb. 19-March 20)
The emphasis continues on travel, communications, errands, casual acquaintances, siblings, paperwork and reports. Be curious, follow your nose – it might lead you to valuable money-making ideas/information. Relax Sunday – efforts lead to nil results, unless you want to clean the kitchen, or tackle other routine chores. Your passion returns Monday to Wed., promoting romance, creativity, speculation, games, and joys with children. But don’t commit to anyone Monday. Work and health concerns fill Wed. afternoon to Friday – all’s good, unless you work the graveyard shift: if so, exercise caution. An exciting meeting could occur Saturday: relationships and opportunities dominate. Pisces, as this might be the last week this web site will operate, please copy any articles (“Platforms”) you want to keep for the future, and paste them in your MS Word or Mac.
