Launching a Business?
10 Top Tips for Success
'To everything there is a season, and a time under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die' The Bible

Timing is everything. Get it right and you have a head start in making your business a success.

• Canny business people use astrology to their advantage. Just as a birth chart tells us about our potential and our purpose, so the chart of a business will describe the nature of it and how successful it can become.

This is called Electional astrology. It chooses the best day and time for an event or action to commence. It's used for material things such as business, law suits, travel, surgery and for more spiritual occasions like weddings and initiations.

• Firstly choose the right day of the week to launch your business. Good days in general for launching a business are Wednesday, or Saturday to make it last a long time.

• Make sure the Sun is strong. The best times of the year are when the Sun is in the sidereal sign of Aries from 14th April-14th May and Leo from 17th August -28th August.

• Jupiter can bring good fortune to any business if it is well placed in the 1st, 5th or 9th houses as it then aspects the ascendant.

• Avoid the days when the Sun is changing sign.

• Avoid the times between 18th October-17th November and 14th January - 13th February. The Sun is considered fallen in the sign of Libra and weak in Capricorn so, if you can, avoid these times for any launches or re-launches.

• Mercury, Saturn and the Moon rule business so they also need to be strong in the chart. That means that they must not be in their weak signs, or in difficult houses of the chart. It's vital that the planet which signifies the type of the business is well placed.

• Choose a waxing moon. The day of the new moon is weak, the full moon is the most favourable time.

• The time to begin must reflect the charts of the people involved.

• Know which dasha (planetary period) your business will start in. This is invaluable for accurate forecasting. A business can dramatically change its fortunes if an unfavourable planetary period starts after its launch.
