ARIES (3/21 - 4/19) Although you may find yourself completely at sea in a torrent of emotion,soon you’ll want to listen and care. Unexpected actions are the cause of complications in your relationships.. This cycle’s lesson for you is to be patient and don’t try to tackle everything at once. Know that you have every chance to make as many changes as you desire. Analyze your achievements not only for the moment but also for the whole period and eliminate your own mistakes to avoid penalties. Expect trouble for a financial success that has your colleagues worked up. The vibration from the planets encourages you to arrange an outing somewhere beautiful. Do not allow to be constrained and do not run counter to your principles.

LEO (7/23 - 8/22) You may find yourself displaying quite a lot of impatience during this cycle. You will be greeted by unexpected success from which you will extract a lot of wisdom. The current celestial energy could indicate that as far as the future is concerned,there may be a source of tension present. Analyze and calculate your projects in depth then proceed to action. You feel tense now because of your inability to handle the amount of information that you need to effectuate your ideas and plans. This very period is not suitable for spending. Don’t travel. Give yourself a chance to change when and if necessary. Do not share the conclusions you have made with inappropriate people.

TAURUS (4/20 - 5/20) This cycle’s energy will help you face up to certain feelings that you perhaps have not been prepared to admit to yourself. Look around carefully and consider whether you need to create new partnerships without putting too much emotion and impulsiveness in communication. Success and good fortune could seem right around the corner. It doesn’t have to be all go-go-go; you are allowed to slow down and be patient. You have the opportunity to realize all your plans and ideas if you concentrate enough only on them. You need to balance your finances and make sure that you are getting what you want for your money. Some deep and careful thought on the subject that concerns you may be of great value now. You may want to ignore urgent tasks to take a trip. Be flexible to deal with every emerging situation.

AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/18) Your ability to slip in and out of situations with grace and ease will be your ticket to success. The present astral energy encourages you to think about your future. The celestial alignment certainly brings things alive and once you have set your goals,you won’t look back. Trips are in your favor now. You may feel as though you are balancing on the edge of a precipice but you can take swift action to make a change and you can do so in such a way that what transpires actually improves your life for the better. Maybe you should be thinking about investing at least part of your money for future stability. Be restrained and cool when your interests are involved.

CAPRICORN (12/22 - 1/1 During this period,you are entirely subject to your feelings which induce inner tension. Correctness in relations with people around you will keep you out of trouble and you’ll gain more of their trust. Serious responsibility to your obligations is a guarantee for success. Now you need to be careful of losing patience. It is not desirable to travel,but if you need to do it check your identity documents. Change of a most positive kind is in the air. Evaluate not only your feelings but also your behavior. Difficulties will unexpectedly cause you to change your immediate plans for the time being. Expect good earnings. Impatience and explosive behavior hurt you.

PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) You are far from the harmony you have been frantically struggling to get for days. Those of you in real estate and trading will be successful. It is worth persisting,because eventually people will get the message and will be stunned at your courage.

Planetary energy indicates that you will have the opportunity to plan a goal. The changes you are considering will allow you to complete longsince started tasks. A great deal of money comes along with an interesting offer. Take the journey that you think will bring success and recognition – it help you relax. The planets are bringing you the opportunity to stop and consider whether you are actually involved with the right people. Be responsible,especially now.

CANCER (6/21 - 7/22) The celestial influences indicate that you won’t be able to hide your emotions behind a sweet and cheery facade. You are likely to get impatient soon with those who don’t have it together. Keep in mind that at this time,your interpersonal relationships with others are a key part of your success. Look forward to pleasant news about your personal life. You are filled with hopes and plans,most of which are achievable and a sufficient reason not to feel uncomfortable. Try to avoid financial losses. This is the perfect time to arrange an outing. Assess your new acquaintances well if you think about attracting them permanently in your life.

LIBRA (9/23 - 10/23) Family quarrels may spoil your mood. Unwavering good luck will see you through to success. Avoid quarrels in your family, conflicts with strangers,and new acquaintances. Find time and patience and consider enriching yourself with new knowledge about your spiritual and intellectual growth. At this point it’s important that you refrain from making important decisions for long-term changes. The horoscope warns that your plans may develop unexpectedly during this period. There will be difficulties requiring mandatory investigation of your behavior so far. The financial goals and dreams you have require focus.

VIRGO (8/23 - 9/22) It’s no good pretending to be nice,especially when you are feeling intense and powerful emotions that there is just no way you can possibly express them nicely. Let go of control and be patient. Harmony in your relationship,calmness and generosity are a wonderful way to achieve the desired fruition. Current aspect indicates that you need to sit down,spend some time making plans and reaching certain decisions. A trip out in the countryside to a completely different environment will do you well. Dare to consider all the possible options open to you. Life is a continuing succession of changes and perhaps one your part will pay off. Expect material success.

ARE YOU LOOKING TO PURCHASE A PERSONAL OR HOUSEHOLD ITEM FOR $99 OR UNDER?Then check out our $99 and under listings at www.nypennysaver.com

GEMINI (5/21 - 6/20) Try to avoid the actions that will not bring you desired success. You will feel the need to harmonize with yourself on an emotional basis. You’ll earn admiration if you are not hasty,so keep calm and patient. It is possible that some recent proposals incur financial losses. In a coming time you may be confronted with enemies that have set a goal to ruin on your plans. In the near future an event could make quite a difference and push towards creating some interesting changes. If you can resist current temptations to be too forceful,be more considerate and analytical. The moment is ideal for traveling in the company of friends. Avoid self-deception and do not overdo yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (11/23 - 12/21) Current circumstances may force you to argue and stand your point of view. You must not be impatient,only because of minuscule obstacles on the road. You risk falling into a troublesome situation if you don’t talk about your ventures and plans with the people close to you. Change and transformation may seem like slightly frightening and insecure concepts,but they can also start a new phase in your life. Find the shortest way to improve your material status. You will enjoy immensely a trip to a local meeting place,or perhaps an outing somewhere in the country. Appraise conversations with people around you in-depth. Be patient!

Planning for Achievement

By Frank J. Rich

Every day most of us go to work. We do so with the expectation that what awaits us is familiar and within our ability to accomplish. The usual preparation notwithstanding, some of us keep a schedule of “continuing education” to ensure the competency we might otherwise take for granted. Apart

CE, either by personal study, structured programs, or by the hand of a coach. In effect, CE and other improvement efforts are forms of preparation; the very thing—combined with opportunity—that spells success. Common among all approaches is that we see opportunity in the exercise. I regularly read books, view CDs, and attend online seminars to achieve the same result, but whatever form it takes the 5 “Ps” hold up as well today as ever. Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Recently, I took such an opportunity at an Association meeting my wife and I attended. The main purpose of the two-day session was to prepare a strategic plan of sorts, and for this the association hired a professional management consultant to facilitate the process. I met him the night before the planning session was to begin. The more we spoke the clearer it became (at least in my view) that Andy had all of of the ensuing sessions would bear fruit. Andy Hoh was doing it right, and I was encouraged that the association members gathered would be in good hands over the next two days.

A strategic plan is usually not something you can accomplish in just a couple of days. Few of us are capable of pulling together the thoughts that inform a realistic view of the future in the short span of a day or two. The competition, internal and market initiatives, resource development, and technology forecasting, to name a few, can be complex issues to plan. Consensus, which must follow, is not always a given under the circumstances.

I took the opportunity to join the group for a short segment of the sessions, having already reviewed what had gone before it with my wife. It was a good learning experience. Not only was Andy a capable facilitator, he was equipped with the knowledge of best practices, and a style that transferred it easily. Taking the opportunity to “check” the competition proved to be as valuable as I had hoped it would be.

Andy began by asking board members to visualize their future. It’s no surprise to discover the opportunity in our future when we take the time to consider it. You’ll see the same advice from Jack and Suzie Welch in their weekly column: “Start with a clear purpose and vision in mind.” A mission statement resulted. Next, he asked the most fundamental of all questions: “What do we want to accomplish more than anything else?” It’s the

right stuff. It’s hard to know how to get somewhere if we don’t know where we’re going. As Andy listened to responses, he wrote them down them on the walls of the room for easy reference. Why? Because “what’s not on paper turns to vapor.”

Andy moved quickly through the process, ever sensitive to the need to do “real work” and in the time allotted. Another honored principle was revealed—to do what you can, with what you’ve got, in the time you have and gave needed perspective to the process. Right again! When Andy moved the discussion to goals he was careful to encourage output. Few goals without these guidelines end in the desired results.

Organizational strengths and weaknesses were next, the stuff of opportunity. Without there can be no solution. We cannot solve a problem that doesn’t exist. Root cause analysis followed in an effort to avoid a cursory view of the opportunities for the association. Symptomatic failure is the number one reason for not achieving one’s goals. When we see blue lips on a friend it’s fair to conclude that he is oxygen deprived. The same holds true for organizations. Without a careful analysis of the symptom (problem) we often throw good money after bad. Too many organizations are starving for oxygen.

After the strategies were in place it was time to put together an outline of the action plans for each of the strategic initiatives put forth by the team, a critical element of which is This was a loosely constructed group of volunteers, not people with clear ties to an It was necessary for Andy to do two things at this point: emphasize ownership of the goals and their outcomes, and encourage a spirit of teamwork that positioned team members’ plishment of any group effort because the yoking of determinant minds is like going against the goads.

for tasks within each of the strategic initiatives was assigned, and the group concluded with an enthusiasm for the desired outcomes that I thought might not be impossible to achieve under the circumstances. They agreed to keep short accounts of progress in each area of development, and established a review and reporting mechanism to do so. On the way home my wife continued the discussions of the two days, reviewing for me the process and excitement in the opportunity to realize the mission of the association—unity and prosperity for all members.

Andy had done his job well. He had prepared the group to do the thinking and the doing of strategic planning. What an interesting idea—think about the future by looking at how we got to the present, then project a better future. I think we can all take a lesson from this story of planning for achievement.
