5 Possible Ways to Understand and Outmaneuver Your Enemy

A lunar eclipse occurs on June 5th, 2020. It’s exact by degree at 12:12 p.m. PDT, 15 degrees 34 minutes Sagittarius.

About two weeks later, a solar eclipse occurs on June 20th, 2020. It’s exact by degree at 11:41 p.m. PDT, 00 degrees 21 minutes Cancer.

Then, on July 4^th, 2020, at 9:44 p.m. PDT, a lunar eclipse is exact at 13 degrees 37 minutes Capricorn. 

Perception tends to be defective during eclipse periods–avoid reckless decisions and behavior. Stay away from risky situations in your personal life and in your business, such as a spontaneous investment or sudden new hire without thinking it through. Rushed decisions under eclipses tend to go wrong. 

Three to four weeks before an eclipse and a few days after is roughly the window of time that eclipse-related issues manifest. Thus, avoid excessive risk during this period.

See this blog post for more information about limiting your overall risk during an eclipse.

Venus retrograde occurs soon. It’s not a seriously problematic astrological affliction, but one to pay attention to, especially regarding your love life.

Besides love life, the planet Venus also rules the following: women; gay men; apparel; the building trades, including design and home building; designers of all types; the arts, including dance and music; jewelry and jewelers; glamour; beauty; pleasure; indulgence; bars and drinking; games and gambling; playboys and playgirls; ladies of the evening; romantic commitments.

How Venus retrograde symbolically affects you depends on the patterns in your unique comprehensive natal and timing charts, though four basic love-life related occurrences seem to happen more frequently during the retro period: 

1. Serious reassessment of your current romantic commitment is common. For some, a separation seems natural. For others, a deepening or transformation of the bond occurs.
2. Those who are single and connect with a new love interest need to be careful; ill-advised love life decisions involving sudden romantic involvements are routine. Post retrograde, the bond often seems worse, for justifiable reasons. 
3. Avoid the standard, pointless practice of dwelling on “the one that got away.” 
4. Re-connecting with former lovers is a familiar theme. Just remember the reasons why it ended; if serious problems existed, they will be painfully obvious again soon enough.

Avoid hasty love life decisions during Venus retrograde because your perspective in love life matters isn’t sound during this time. 

As you can see in the bar graph in this blog post, Venus is retrograde from May 12, 2020 to June 24, 2020.

Venus retrograde lasts, on average, about 40 days, and it occurs about every 1.5 years.

Learn about basic astrology, including Venus retrograde, and the cyclical nature of life in this blog post.

Although Venus retrograde is only one astrological indicator and must be supported by other factors to represent key life events and circumstances, it’s still a good idea to be a little more careful in love life matters during this period.

A Washington Post article about Rudy Giuliani’s 2019 divorce includes this statement: “It’s hard to explain why a marriage falls apart, or why two crazy kids once madly in love end up going at each other’s throats.”

From the standpoint of comprehensive astrology and numerology, it’s easy to see why Rudy Giuliani and Judith Giuliani divorced.

I know this viewpoint is controversial, but once you see, as I have, the constant repetition of personal astrological and numerological patterns regularly corresponding to key circumstances in people’s lives, it’s easy to embrace the idea of fate, such as predestined unions and separations.

People’s astrological and numerological orbits cross, the chemistry is there between them, sometimes it endures, and sometimes it doesn’t. The patterns in the charts reflect it all and the end result isn’t surprising to me. The only thing surprising to me is that some people refuse to acknowledge that there are many things in life that you have no control over.

The study of couples in relation to personal timing is fascinating.

Time and time again, changes in collective personal timing, mutually in a couple’s favor, cements the bond and enriches their rewards. However, without fail, significant adverse changes in collective personal timing of one or both partners dissolve the connection.

They may choose to stay together as friends, but they both know the relationship has radically transformed or even ended. The same dynamic applies to any other two-person arrangement; collective natal and timing patterns either symbolically pull people together, or force them apart.

According to the Washington Post article linked above “Nathan and Giuliani met in 1999 at Club Macanudo, an East Side cigar bar. Nathan, divorced from her second husband, was a hospital sales rep and a trained nurse. Across the room: Mayor Giuliani…Sparks flew. ’It was the thunderbolt,’ he told the New York Times. ‘Our attraction was instantaneous. There was almost something mystical about the feeling.’”

Considering their natal and timing patterns, this makes a lot of sense to me, because there is a lot of mystical (albeit too dreamy and idealistic) energy between the two. The patterns in the charts firmly show it wasn’t meant to endure after that mystical energy faded. Additionally, their respective collective timing also sent them in different directions, hence the break-up.

The case for keeping a marriage together is strong.

The desire for companionship, raising children, and financial concerns are valid reasons to maintain a union. But if money isn’t an issue, there aren’t any kids, and both partners are happy with finding companionship elsewhere, it seems pointless to maintain the façade of marital bliss, especially if one or both partners become increasingly difficult to live with.

Although conventional points of view struggle with explaining breakups, from the vantage point of comprehensive astrology and numerology, separations aren’t a mystery. The best two people can do is accept that many things don’t last forever, avoid blame, and remain friends.

Computer programs predict select personality traits through assessing Facebook “likes,” according to University Studies.

The researchers claim computer-based personality assessments involving five broad categories–degree of openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism–are more accurate than those made by humans.

It’s a fascinating study, but consider these points:

1. The studies are based on subjects completing a subjective personality test. Everyone knows you’re on your best behavior while taking self-tests. Also, it’s a given that some Facebook users will unthinkingly expose intimate clues about their lives through their “likes,” but many avoid this trap.

2. The study doesn’t consider that many Facebook users are concerned about privacy concerns, do selective “liking,” and avoid impulsive “liking.” Thus, you get a Facebook account that is similar to the face you show in public; the private personality, the real personality, remains hidden.

3. The computer models catch only a very limited number of red flag personality traits.

The computer models do hold great value for advertisers, considering this quote from the Wall Street Journal about the studies: “Using the data from Facebook, it could predict a person’s race with 95% accuracy and gender with 93%. The model also accurately predicted sexual, religious and political orientation; intelligence; the likelihood of substance abuse; and personality according to the profiles from the five-category test.”

The bold title of the study, “Computer-based personality judgments are more accurate than those made by humans,” is believable only considering the humans involved in the studies (friends and family of the subjects) are amateurs, untrained in reading personality.

In my view, three main ways exist to get consistently high accuracy rates in determining red flag personality traits: in-person psychologist assessments; private investigations/conventional security investigations; and unconventional security investigations, including the ones I offer. I recommend all three to reduce your overall risk as much as possible.

Mercury retrograde occurs February 16th until March 9th, 2020.

Mercury retrograde hallmarks include more delays than usual, travel problems, and a greater than average amount of overall confusion and false impressions.

Judgment tends to be flawed, so proceed with caution with weighty matters such as legal and investment decisions, along with costly purchases.

Aside from the challenges, Mercury retrograde does symbolize rewards such as reunions with old friends and finding solutions to on-going problems.

See this page for a thorough list of Mercury retrograde themes and a general timeline.

As mentioned in the linked information above, the approximate three-week period leading up to Mercury retrograde usually involves more challenges than the actual retrograde period.

Mercury retrograde February and March 2020 details:

1. Mercury goes retrograde 2-16-2020 at 4:54 p.m. PST, 12 degrees 53 minutes Pisces.
2. Mercury goes direct 3-9-2020 at 8:48 p.m. PDT, 28 degrees 12 minutes Aquarius.

Recently, I happened to see an article about the merits of hiring a diverse workforce. Beneath the article in the comments section was a debate about hiring primarily based on diversity, or hiring the most qualified candidates, regardless of race, sex, and sexual orientation.

But let’s say you have ten diverse candidates for three positions and all ten are equally qualified. As a hiring manager or business owner, you then must figure out which of the ten candidates are most compatible with your current staff, regardless of diversity.

My findings show race, sex, and sexual orientation have nothing to do with authentic workplace compatibility, putting aside individual biases that can ruin any professional relationship.

Real compatibility, well beyond surface rapport, is symbolized by natal and timing patterns in the comprehensive astrology and numerology charts. Subconscious strengths, fears, and defenses, as outlined by handwriting analysis, either mitigate or corroborate the innate compatibility found through astrology and numerology.

For example, a Hispanic female in marketing may be extremely compatible with a white male from the tech department, but may have horrible compatibility with a black female from accounting. The same black female from accounting may have wonderful compatibility with the white male from the tech department, but terrible compatibility with the black male who owns the company. Authentic affinity has nothing to do with race or gender, but soul energy, represented by comprehensive astrology and numerology.

Here are some of your options to determine new hire compatibility with staff:

1. Each staff member interviews each candidate to determine how he or she matches. Although first impressions are important, everyone is on their best behavior until the pressure mounts on the job, the persona fades, and the real personality emerges. Unfortunately, you can’t get a complete idea of real character and compatibility through face-to-face interviews, no matter how strong your instincts. Although some people have amazing gut instinct, it’s not reliable 100% of the time.
2. Multiple choice personality self-tests can be a little helpful, such as determining social inclination, but self-tests can be gamed.
3. An in-person psychologist assessment can reveal much about potential personality issues, but little about innate compatibility between staff members.
4. Hiring a security investigations firm can also help determine potential personality issues, but not much about inherent compatibility between employees.
5. The combination of handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology is one of the best ways to determine innate compatibility between staff. Handwriting analysis, like psychologist interviews and security investigations, reveals potential personality red flag issues. Comprehensive astrology and numerology identify the type of compatibility that is immutable—intrinsic compatibility isn’t a choice.

To determine genuine compatibility, I suggest you use multiple forms of evaluation, including some or all of those mentioned above. It may seem cost prohibitive, but hiring the wrong person for the job can be a lot more expensive.

A solar eclipse occurs on December 25th, 2019. It’s exact by degree at 9:13 p.m. PST, 04 degrees 06 minutes Capricorn.

About two weeks later, a lunar eclipse occurs on January 10th, 2020. It’s exact by degree at 11:21 a.m. PST, 20 degrees 00 minutes Cancer.

Judgment tends to be flawed during eclipse periods. Steer clear of imprudent decisions and behavior under eclipses. Stay away from precarious situations in your personal life and avoid taking excessive risk in your business, such as gambling on a new investment or new hire without giving it a lot of thought first. Hasty decisions tend to backfire; your perception is likely to change after the eclipse period.

Three to four weeks before an eclipse and a few days after is roughly the window of time that eclipse-related issues manifest. Thus, avoid excessive risk during this period.

It’s a fact of life that you’ll sometimes encounter adversaries, particularly in relation to your business or livelihood.

Sometimes the enemies are obvious and you can easily avoid problems, but other times not.

Knowing what sort of potential enemy a person may be to you personally can save you a lot of hassle.

Below I list three main types of enemies, based on my work with pattern recognition involving comprehensive astrology, numerology, and handwriting analysis.

1. Mostly harmless enemies that simply naturally oppose you are very common. By naturally, I’m referring to a person’s birth and life-long collective timing patterns that conflict with yours, those beyond the typical “12th house” (house of hidden enemies in the basic astrological chart) symbolism. They often don’t intentionally try to hurt you, but their routine, everyday behavior, while it may not be outwardly aggressive or rude, tends to directly oppose your interests. Ultimately, things don’t go nearly as well as you would like partnering with such a person.
2. Enemies based on personal timing patterns are also common, though typically less troublesome than the type listed directly above. The person’s personal timing (everyone’s timing is different) contrasts with yours, sometimes for a year or less, but sometimes for many years. The timing enmity may be absent early on in your connection with him, but it appears later in the relationship, or the other way around. The tricky thing about these types of connections is that the individual may appear to be “like a totally different person” under the problematic timing. Early on in your connection, things were great, but then changes in collective personal timing, sometimes for both people, symbolically wreck the bond.
3. Dangerous enemies possessing red-flag personality traits are frequently not seen as such until it’s too late, particularly if the person is cunningly smart.

Traditional security investigations, such as private detectives, uncover hidden enemies if the investigator is thorough.

To help you navigate your life as effectively as possible, and for more difficult to uncover enemies, non-traditional security investigative methods, such as the ones I employ, are useful. Complex astrology and numerology patterns illustrate innate adversarial energy, and the opposite, friendship and ally connections. Handwriting analysis is one of the most objective and least discriminatory forms of character analysis and extremely effective in identifying threats to your security, including serious red-flag traits such as aggressiveness, defiance, narcissism, deceit, and many others.

It’s a tremendous advantage to be informed about others who may not be aligned with your best interests. Either by traditional means or non-traditional means (or both), it’s well worth the expense to avoid the potentially significant risks.
