ARIES (3/21 - 4/19) Relationships are the focal point of this week. If single,you may stumble upon an interesting connection that ignites sparks. For those in relationships,it's an opportune time to rekindle romance or clear any lingering misunderstandings. Midweek presents a situation that may require a bit of diplomacy; remember to lead with your heart. During this week,you have to understand that spending more than your ability in front of others is quite a foolish decision. Acknowledge this and avoid doing such things,only then you will be able to save enough for your future. Due to the Sun being present in the sixth house with respect to the moon sign, the entire week is going to be highly energetic and you will remain filled with great enthusiasm.

YOUR BATHROOM. YOUR WAY. IN AS LITTLE AS

AQUARIUS (1/20 - 2/18) You can finally move on from the need to take somebody else’s ideas or desires into account that has had a strong influence since late July. Your focus will now be on the future this month and this could be highly influenced by what you have had to accept lately. Your experience of others and their position could now feel more balanced. The week brings delightful encounters,perhaps with those you haven't met in a while. A fresh wave of nostalgia could encompass you, urging you to reconnect with old friends. Some delightful surprises might be on the cards,especially around midweek.

PISCES (2/19 - 3/20) Something can come to an end when it comes to ever changing situations with other people and their thoughts or ideas that you have had to perhaps endure or accept since late July. You could now be left to your own devices more. Even so,you still need to be aware that others still hold strong opinions – they may simply be more secretive. You might feel a deeper connection with loved ones,leading to harmonious interactions. There's potential for new bonds to form,while existing relationships strengthen. Ensure you express your genuine feelings; authenticity is your guiding star.

CANCER (6/21 - 7/22) Somebody else who has some power in the situation can readily accept your ideas. This will enable you to take the next step and begin putting things in place during this month. It might also provide you with the opportunity to rid yourself of something in the future that you could see would have too many obligations attached. This week, many wrong decisions of your past can cause mental disturbances and domestic distress for you. In such a situation,try to solve every problem peacefully,while sitting with your family members as much as possible.

Moss Removal on Your Roof

By Evelyn J. Mocbeichel

With the constant rain, damp weather combined with extreme bouts of high temperatures, we literally had a moss garden growing on our roof! It reminded me of the thatched homes you’d see in photographs of cottages in rural Ireland or England. Since we are passed the age of roof climbing any longer to

roof contractor that my friend found in the Home Improvement section of The Pennysaver. She highly recommended him for the excellent work he did for her

was to call JM Gutter & Roof from his ad to have him come give an estimate for the moss removal. The best part of this process was that our call was returned promptly from his message machine and

a short turnaround day for him to arrive for inspection and estimate. During his visit we learned about a technique he uses that prevents growth of moss, lichen and mildew from returning after his cleaning process. His estimate included the moss removal, cleaning out the gutters that would collect the falling moss scraped off the shingles and the installation of the preventative tape that would stop moss from returning. Jonathan told us about a product called zinc tape that comes on rolls about

strips are installed under a row of shingles across the tops of the roof and nailed in place. The zinc strip works when rain rolls over the top of the metal strip and tiny particles are carried down the roof. The metal is poisonous to algae, moss, lichen, fungus, mold and other plant life, that can

grow on your roof, stain, look bad, and not good for the life of your roof. My husband liked the explanation and information and the price quoted for the work to be done. A date was set for the work and he arrived punctual, too. First Jonathan sprayed the roof with Wet N Forget, a gentle formula that kills and cleans away black algae for a year or more. Both these products can be purchased at the big box home renovation stores or your local hardware store. Be sure to inspect your roof frequently to see what repairs may be needed. Call a professional roofer or contractor for the best advice and solution to see what process works best for your moss or repair problems. Be sure to get several estimates and listen to the advice or suggestions of the professional you are considering hiring. It’s best to keep up on these inspections to guarantee the longevity of your roof as well as its safety and curb appeal.

SAGITTARIUS (11/23 - 12/21) You could finally feel you have established some sort of authority when it comes to being listened to or ideas being accepted. The need to be involved and to communicate with a group of people this month can be associated with something that has always been done in a particular way needing to change. This is likely to please you. This week,you will find difficulty in explaining your words and feelings to the family members who matter most to you. It would be best to stay calm for some time,and give them some time too.

SCORPIO (10/24 - 11/22) Having things under control is probably not something you feel right now. How to bring an end to a situation that is seemingly going nowhere may begin to dawn on you. This will require a change of thinking. Finding some quiet time to yourself will be the best solution,as this will allow ideas from a deeper level to come to the surface. You will get special success this week in rejuvenating your relationship with relatives. Also,this will prove to be a good week for domestic matters and completing long pending household chores. Businessmen of this sign may have to face problems due to some unsolicited advice from a close friend.

This week,negative thoughts will dominate your mind. Because of this,you will maintain a negative perspective on anything good happening in your life.

This week,you will have to remain more careful while making professional decisions,because this time will give you good results in your career,but seeing everything going well,you can feel a little emotional from within.

Group Decision-Making

By Frank J. Rich

Making decisions within a group can often be challenging. When things go well, they can go very well. However, when things go wrong, groups can end up

recognition and position, others may be over-critical or disruptive, while still others may sit quietly and not contribute anything to the overall effort. Because of this, groups can often spin out of control and make poor decisions, suggesting that decisions by individuals working on their own is a better approach.

When this happens, it’s easy to see why some throw up their hands in frustration and give up. But when a group works in effective ways, it really works. Groups that function effectively together can outperform individuals and make much better decisions.

But how do you make your group effective? How do you get all members to contribute and inspire one another to great ideas and solutions? One way is to “prepare” the group for success. This is a “tried and true” method, and is applied across the board in most decisionmaking. Good preparation makes good practice, and good results.

to speak of their experience with the meeting topic and how it might contribute to an understanding of the issues and the expected their creative juices.

forward — that is, those who have both the skills and the inclination to contribute to the venture going forward. You’ll begin to see the workings of the team you’ve assembled and form a view of the cohesiveness of the group and any missing links.

the room for assignment. Each ought to be given the opportunity to elucidate the special talents of group members. This prepares informs teamwork.

The Stepladder Technique

The Stepladder Technique is another useful method for encouraging individual participation in “group decision-making.” This simple tool manages how members enter the decision-making group. It encourages by others. It results in a wider variety of ideas, prevents people from “hiding” within the group, and it helps people avoid being “stepped on” or overpowered by stronger, louder group members.

How to Use the Tool

The Stepladder Technique

Step 1: Before getting together as a group, present the task or

about what needs to be done and to form their own opinions on how to best accomplish the task or solve the problem.

Step 2: Form a core group of two members. Have them discuss the problem.

Step 3:

two members BEFORE hearing the ideas that have have laid out their solutions and ideas, they discuss their options together.

Step 4: Repeat the same process by adding a time for discussion after each additional member has presented his or her ideas.

Step 5: brought in and presented their ideas.

The Stepladder Technique is similar to the Delphi Method, another tool that’s often used in groups to prevent Groupthink* and to encourage participation. While both tools have the same objective, they differ

• In the Delphi Method, an objective facilitator or leader manages the group. In the Stepladder Technique, all members are equal.

• The Delphi Method keeps members anonymous. The facilitator

who else is in the group. The Stepladder Technique involves face-to-face meetings, so everyone knows who the other members are.

• The Delphi Method is a lengthy process, while the Stepladder Technique is much quicker.

• The Delphi Method is often used for major decisions that need input from a large number of people. The Stepladder Technique works best with smaller groups that make a wide range of decisions.

make quality decisions if they have too many members. Keep your group small — four to six team members — to maximize effectiveness.

The Stepladder Technique is a step-by-step approach to help ensure that all members of a group participate and are heard. The technique allows shy, quiet people to present their ideas before

help curb worker ferment and eliminate fainéant members who fear engagement.

*Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when the desire for group consensus overrides people’s commonsense desire to present alternatives, critique a position, or express an unpopular opinion. This is what happens in the legislatures of most nations, where the unique view of parties divides people in the decision-making process into membership of a common view.
