my last email update for 2009. I am sending out the Q1 Newsletter
today. If you signed up for this and do NOT receive it, please
contact my assistant, Carol at info@polarisbusinessguides.com.
Or call the office toll free at 877-524-8300. Holiday blessings to all! STRATEGIC PLANNING TIME IS HERE Mars retrograde or Red Activities, an 11½ week cycle, starts Sunday December 20th and lasts through March 10, 2010. This is not a cycle for new starts, because we’re supposed to be reconsidering what really motivates us now, and where we want to go for the next two years. We’re supposed to be asking ourselves, what really makes me want to jump out of bed in the morning? What brings zest and juice to my life or business? And once we have those answers, we’re supposed to be researching potential ways to head off in that direction, so we spend more time doing that. For business, this is the time to do strategic planning for the next two years. Often this is the time when our businesses need a course correction. It’s also often a time when business slows down, which is needed if you’re going to spend some time planning. If everything kept going at 90 mph, we would not take the time to do strategic planning. So the Universe provides this cycle about every 27 months. The last time we had it was November 15, 2007 through Jan 30, 2008. Notice that Ford Motor Co used this cycle very effectively the last time we had it. They did some serious strategic planning then, and they’re now the only American auto maker still standing without US aid. What are you going to do in business for almost 3 months when it’s not appropriate to push forward with new starts? This is not the time to introduce new products. Not the time to launch a new web site. Not the time to start a new company, or even to start a new project. New products introduced during this period can lose as much as 85% of their potential revenues. So it’s definitely worth waiting for this cycle to be over to introduce new products. But there IS something you can do during this period to help that product. You can either beta test the product to certain customers, or test market it to a particular market segment and see how well it does. If you do this, be sure to get some customer feedback about the product, so you know where it misses the boat. Then fix it! Don’t ignore your customer feedback. Make the changes suggested by customers and your product will be MUCH more successful! Next February we have some terrific cycles for creating abundance and wealth (See the Q1 Newslettter for more details about this). That will be an excellent time to re-introduce an old product you've spruced up, or one that never got a proper send off. You can also beta-test a product or service then. Mars retrograde has another challenge besides slowing down to re-evaluate and plan the next two years. This cycle is notorious for bringing up old anger, resentments, and old frustrations. This is when all the anger that got swept under the rug shows up. That’s because someone took out the rug for cleaning and voila - it's all out in the open! For this reason, you need to be ready to handle conflict resolution, as it’s likely to come up multiple times during this period. You may even find yourself feeling agitated for no apparent reason or find yourself in arguments. That will get even more intense as Mercury goes retrograde on December 26th and lots of miscommunications occur. So watch what you say and own your own feelings. This is an excellent time to learn and use non-violent communication. Marshall Rosenberg has a book on this topic titled Non-Violent Communication, A Language of Life. You can also find non-violent or compassionate communication specialists in all parts of the world. Just go to the www.cnvc.org to find out who teaches it in your area. That’s the Center for Nonviolent Communication and they list all the trained teachers around the world there. This will help you handle conflict resolution issues which arise during Mars retrograde in a positive way. ___________________________________ PREPARE NOW FOR MERCURY RETROGRADE If you've been reading this newsletter for a year or more, by now you know the drill. Those two red lines together at the bottom of each day show that Mercury is retrograde December 26th - Jan 15, 2010. This is on top of the Mars retrograde, giving us a double whammy to slow down and rethink things. This Red Communications period is relatively better than usual. Expect travel delays after Christmas, especially right after Christmas on December 26th, which is the first day of this period. It is especially dicey to travel on the first day of Mercury retrograde when there’s a Time-Out, as there is until 12:27 PM Pacific or 3:27 PM Eastern. Make arrangements to travel at other times unless you’re willing to be delayed. This Mercury retrograde occurs in the sign of Capricorn. It’s an ideal sign for planning our future, and it’s occurring at the same time as Mars retrograde, which is also designed for strategic planning. All Red Communication cycles are great for catching up, redoing anything, recycling, (including recycling items you want to sell via garage sales or eBay), doing research, rewriting, reviewing, etc. However, this cycle is TERRIBLE for new starts. You’re supposed to be catching up, not starting something new. Get stuff off your plate now. Tasks which weren’t completed need to be corrected or finished now. If you attempt to start anything under these cycles, you’ll either conclude that the project is not worth doing OR that due to your new responsibilities, you cannot do it. Whatever the reason, I can assure that things will look a lot different by the time you get to mid-March and you will have a different view of what your needs truly are. Remember that most projects encounter delays during Mercury retrograde. This is doubly true with Mars retrograde at the same time. Anticipate transportation slow downs and miscommunications, so double check all communications before sending them out. Also remember that more computers fail during this cycle of Mercury retrograde than any other time. So be sure you do a full system back-up by December 18th, and then keep it backed up daily through this period. Lastly, remember to double check all the details of your communications! It will save you a lot of grief and frustration if you do. ___________________________________ DO YOU WANT TO RELAUNCH A PRODUCT OR SERVICE? If you have a product or service that needs a re-launch in order to increase its sales, we have some great opportunities to do this during February, which will have some exceptional times for this. Contact me to have a custom timing done for this to ensure your product is not only successfully re-launched, but it's also financially successful. Even very good (yes even all green days) have bad financial TIMES, during the day. It's the time that's so criticial for a successful launch or relaunch. I am away until January 4th, but you can call my office and get on my schedule for when I return. My assistant Carol, can get the needed info and put you on my schedule. For a custom launch, I need to know what the product or service is, and some of the benefits. Plus I need to know the location it will launch from (often via an email blast) and the earliest date it will be ready to launch. ___________________________________ SCHEDULE: BACK ON JANUARY 4TH I am headed to a caregiving expedition for the holidays and will not return to client work until Monday, January 4th. My office assistant, Carol, will be here on Friday of this week. Then during the weeks of Dec 21st and Deec 28th, she will be in the office on Monday, Wed, and Thursday. If you want to get on my schedule for January, please call the office toll free at 877-524-8300 and she will set you up with an appointment. You can also email her at info@polarisbusinessguides.com ___________________________________ PLEASE ORDER YOUR 2010 GUIDES ASAP! Tis the Season to order your Good Timing Guide! I'm encouraging you to do this as soon as possible, because every year we get a number of people who wait until the last moment to realize there's no more calendar in their book after December. You can save money by ordering now while you can still use Media Mail to get it to you either in time for the holidays as gifts, or before January, when you will really need it. Media Mail can take up to 10 BUSINESS DAYS to receive it. At this time of the year, we have heard stories of it taking as long as three weeks. So unless you order your Guide VERY soon, I encourage you to choose shipping via Priority Mail for the additional $3. ___________________________________ GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE This holiday season, with so many people confused, give the gift of understanding and clarity by purchsing a gift certificate for any amount of $20 or more. We provide a lovely certificate with information for using it. It can be used toward consultations, timings and all products, including classes. Contact our office toll free at 877-524-8300 and we'll prepare one for you. ___________________________________ NEXT RADIO SHOW: FRIDAY December 18th 10:00 AM Pacific Time / 1:00 PM Eastern Time Modern day alchemist and mystic, Angela Nicastro, discusses the energies of the Winter Solstice and what to expect for the coming quarter. We have entered the place where “truth will set us free” and “”authenticity” is the new way of life. The magic we have at our fingertips is unprecedented, and the window of opportunity that lies before us will certainly carry us well into the next phase of our evolutionary shift. More inspiration to come as we discuss the Events of the Capricorn Solstice which occurs on December 21, 2009.  January 1st
2010: An Interview with Michael St.
Clair
Michael St Clair is an astrologer in Europe with a background in economics and law. He is a child prodigy born in Switzerland who has authored several books, some of which include Light-Seeds: Futures of Planet Earth, Foreseen: Beyond Time, The Art of Time Travel, Zen of Stars: Designing a Sane World, and Passage 11. Michael blends information from astrology, remote viewing, and even time travel to bring an enlightening and inspiring message about how you can reclaim your power in a world under siege.  In 2002 St.Clair published his acclaimed book Passage 11 on the internet, which some have termed the true spiritual thriller of our time. It explains in easy to understand words our true History and its Cosmic genetics. In 2005 St.Clair began to see the development of a future Contact Center, and the spread of Radiant Zones. Sacred islands of light appearing all over the earth, as well as a City of Gold in the land of the Alpine Celts. His web site Light-Seeds.com is consulted daily by thousands who actively prepare for this crossing into the 5th world cycle. Last Friday:
December 11th 2009: An Attitude of
Gratitude!
Prosperity is always attracted to positive energy. I’ll discuss several ways to stay prosperous and joyful during the holidays and into next year, no matter what’s going on in the economy. I’ll also take your calls and give you my prosperity tip of the week. Friday, December 4th: The Energy of Love with Moses Ma, the cofounder of One Tantra Moses Ma has found something that differentiates tantrikas from psychologists, ministers and faith healers – all offering to hand you the key to understanding love. This special characteristic is the ability of tantric experts to control and channel the energy of love. What does he mean by the energy of love? Consider the martial arts. What differentiates the internal martial arts from all others is the use of “life-force energy” as a component of martial arts training. He believes that masters of tantra have an equivalent ability, specifically, to emanate and channel a pure form of life energy that directly impacts the heart chakra. Once you have such a direct experience of such a thing, you know it’s real.  Friday, November 27th: Giving the Gift of Time During this holiday season when money may be tight, now is an opportune time to give the gift of time. Find out the many ways you can give this gift inexpensively, and enjoy your friends, family and the joys of the Season even more. I’ll also give you my prosperity tip of the week.
