Recently I had the
pleasure of meeting
Bruce and
Wendy Lacroix.
Bruce had just
emailed me with an
idea for a column in the Discover Sixty-Five.
It was an interesting idea that
I had not heard explored previously. I
thought you, our readers, would like it.
Bruce said he would drop by to discuss
his idea, and he also brought along his
partner. After a bit of chatter I learned
his wife’s name is spelt Lacroix - and
the penny dropped. Wendy has been
submitting articles since February. She
writes about all the aspects of setting
“Your Retirement Path” from maintaining
a healthy relationship with your
partner - now that you have so much
time together - to how to downsize
your home as you prepare for a simpler
life. I enjoyed meeting them and
thought you would too.
D65: Wendy, are you a Kootenay Girl?
Wendy: No, I was born in Ottawa,
Ontario, the youngest daughter of
two daughters. I lived there until
I was 19. I then went to college in
North Bay, studying Environmental
Sciences and Lab Technology.
D65: Do you have children?
Embracing Time and Opportunity ~ Karma Halleran
Wendy: Yes we do, two girls – Melanie,
32, works for West Kootenay
Rural Teacher Education Program in
Nelson. She is also a certified Nutrition
and Fitness coach, and coaches
part time. Her husband is a teacher at
Mt. Sentinel. Our other daughter, Angela,
has her own business. She studied
the Digital Media course at Selkirk
College, and now works for Nelson
Becker on the ExpressNews, along
with other freelance design projects,
for the city and other businesses. She
loves working from home.
D65: You have been writing articles
for Discovery Sixty-Five for months
now, about being prepared for retirement.
Your business name is
‘Your Retirement Path’ and you raise
questions (and answer them) about
such things as Planning for retirement,
Living with someone 24/7 -
which may not have been the case
when you were both working, How
to meet other’s expectations of your
retirement, and more. You often run
workshops to explore these questions
more deeply. Have you done
this work your whole life?
Wendy: No. I have had a number of
different careers; lab tech in the environment
field, ski instructor, daycare
owner, restaurant manager at Fairmont
Hot Springs, Bruce and I had a
training school in Nelson called Kootenay
Career Directions Inc., which
we ran for 5 years. The focus was to
help income assistance and EI candidates
acquire the skills necessary
to be successful in the workforce.
We mixed in a number of life skills as
well. I taught career and employment
skills, plus tourism courses, Bruce
focused on entrepreneurship, and
our partner Becky taught computer
skills. After the school closed down I
returned to school to get my TESOL,
to teach English, and
went to China for four
months to teach English
and customer service
skills. When I came back
from China in 2008, I was
then offered a position at
KCDS as an Employment
Counsellor. I worked
there as a job coach with
the Wage Subsidy Program
for 17 years. I went
back to school again (I
love learning) and trained as a counsellor.
When that course finished I
looked around Nelson and realized
there were already a large number
of traditional counsellors available,
so decided to specialize in preparing
for retirement. As much as I help
others, it has made me acknowledge
the coming challenges of retirement
as well. My workshops have an outline,
that is fluid, allowing movement
in the direction the class determines.
We become a group working together
to learn new skills and to prepare
ourselves for retirement. I receive as
much as I give to my attendees, for
which I am grateful.
D65: What have you discovered in
this process?:
Wendy: We enjoy life to the fullest.
We want to stay fit right into our senior
years. That is why we bike, swim,
ski, kayak and Bruce plays pickleball
as well. I cannot imagine coming to a
full stop, by choice.
Which leads us to the other half of
this team.

ack east?
D65: Bruce,
have you always
lived in
the Kootenays?
Bruce: No,
I was Halifax
born,
Montreal
and Ottawa
raised.
D65: Did you
meet Wendy
Bruce: Yes, at the Delta Inn of the
Provinces near Parliament Hill. I was
a Wine Stewart, she was serving - she
bounced into the room and I was
mesmerized. We have been a team
ever since.
D65: How did you come to live in
Nelson?
Bruce: We discovered the Kootenays
together. First East, then West.
In the late 80’s after we left school
in Edmonton we spent some time
in Kimberley, I was the Tennis instructor
there. We then moved on to
Fairmont Hot Springs Resort where
I was the Recreation Director and
Wendy managed a restaurant. While
working there, we came to Nelson
to visit a friend overnight. We never
forgot the place. Young and yearning
for adventure, with not too many
responsibilities - childless at that
point, we sold everything and went
to Europe to ski. Unfortunately it was
a snowless season that year… and
we soon found ourselves living in a
beach house in Portugal. Poor us - no
snow :)
D65: Why did you ever leave?
Bruce: We decided that we were
ready for kids and while considering
where we would do that, Wendy
suggested Nelson, the beautiful
small city we remembered fondly.
D65: You have had a variety of professions,
when did writing take centre
stage?
Bruce: Actually writing has been a
small part of my life, but I have done
alot of it. I love it.
D65: What is your most memorable
writing project?
Bruce: In writing: While on a long
solo dive vacation in Cuba, I completed
the 300 page Business and
Entrepreneurship Skills Training
(BEST) Manual, since used by over
four thousand entrepreneurs, and
some colleges and universities
across Canada. Daily, it was rise, scuba,
breakfast, scuba, lunch, write, dinner,
mojitos at sunset, write, repeat!
With side trips to Havana by scooter.
That was a dream job.
D65: That sounds amazing! It seems
you have often been involved in
guiding people towards success as
entrepreneurs. Why does this subject
interest you so much?
Bruce: I was always a terrible employee
working for others. Fired from
most jobs, not due to lack of professionalism
or work ethic, just that I always
told employers that there was a
better way of doing things. So, best
to work for myself. I love teaching,
interacting with others, and helping
them realize that working for oneself
can be a reality.
D65: You are starting a column with
us this month about Senior Entrepreneurship,
being on the rise. It seems
to me that you follow each others
teachings.
Bruce: As a couple, we have never
lived to work. It took me a while
when I first met Wendy some 40
plus years ago to convince her that
life was not all about careers, work,
money, getting ahead, but enjoying
the moment and living well. We
were never flush with money (actually
down to 28 cents and stealing
firewood at one time), but there was
healthy food on the table and a roof
over our heads. We survived that period,
with humour and gratitude for
what we did have. Having experiences,
raising two healthy, well-adjusted
daughters and travelling extensively
with them was important to us. Now,
we bounce ideas off each other, plan
our next trip, and share our knowledge
with others.
D65: What are your favourite things
to do together?
Bruce: Well... we enjoy all the outdoor
experiences we are so blessed
to have right outside our door. We
entertain. I can cook and know my
wines. We have been known to share
our home-grown herb and dance in
our living room during the winter
together. Living the Hygge lifestyle,
embracing time and opportunity.

My Retirement Travels ~ Liz Ross
In this edition, I will write
about two of my favourite
places that I visited in
South America. In 2010, two
friends and I booked a Peregrine
trip to the Galapagos,
Equador and Machu Picchu,
Peru. We flew from Quito to
Baltra where we boarded a
yacht visiting Turtle Cove, a
nesting site for Pacific Green
Turtles. Next we sailed to the
red sand beaches of Rabida
Island where sea lions abound
and we had an opportunity
to snorkel, then to Santiago
Island, a breeding ground for
marine iguanas and fur seals.
We visited Bartolome Island
next which has a lunar-like
landscape with pahoehoe
lava and gigantic lava tubes,
evidence of it’s volcanic past.
We ended our trip at the
Charles Darwin Research
Station on Santa Cruz Island
where endangered tortoises
from every Island are housed
until mature enough to be
reinserted in their island of
origin.
Next we flew to Lima Peru and
on to the ancient Inca capital
of Cusco travelling from
sea level up to 3350 metres.
We visited the Sacred Valley
located between the towns
of Pisac and Ollantaytambo
where we saw evidence
of the Inca’s engineering
skills in the ruins of ancient
terraces, temples and fortresses.
Next we boarded a
train and then the bus up to
Machu Picchu, the Lost City
of the Incas. Built in 1450 and
deserted less than a century
later following the Spanish
invasion, it was only rediscovered
again in 1911.
The architecture of Machu
Picchu is extraordinary with
the earthquake resistant mortarfree
design and stones so
precisely cut that not even a
knife fits between them.
The experience of
being there, literally
“took my breath
away”.

Senior-Preneurship ~ Bruce LaCroix
Bruce Lacroix is joining D65 as a regular columnist, sharing his ideas and experience surrounding
Senior-Preneurship. Bruce's writing history includes past regular columns for:
Sterling Press (Nelson Daily News, Cranbrook Townsman): Practicing Business,
Kootenay Weekly Express: Bruce On Business,
B.C. Home Business Report: Report From The Kootenays,
Kootenay Business Magazine and Articles in Globe and Mail, Vancouver Sun
We think you'll enjoy what he has to say.
Welcome to a regular feature on
Entrepreneurship for those past middle
age considering starting a small
business, or turning a hobby into a
money-maker. Over the past 30 years,
my companies (The Canadian Centre
for the Aboriginal Entrepreneurship,
Inc. and The Canadian Centre for
Ageless Entrepreneurship, Inc.) have
assisted about six thousand people
across Canada and the Caribbean
get started.
At 69 years old, I now relate best with
my age-peers. Using stories, quotes,
interviews and how-to hints and tips,
I would like to share with you the opportunities,
advantages (and disadvantages)
and steps of starting your
own senior-preneurship at this stage
of our lives.
According to Stats Canada: Average
HEALTHY life expectancy (mentally
and physically “able”) is now into
the ‘80s. About 20 years of healthy
life after traditional “retirement”. The
Sheridan Centre for Elder Research
found that the top three reasons entrepreneurs
started a business after
50 were:
Emily Tucker
RRC
Senior Financial Consultant
Office: 250-352-7777
Direct line: 250-551-7971
✔ Interest in continuing to use
their skills,
✔ Needing or wanting to generate
a new source of income, and
✔ Wanting greater ownership and
control of their lifestyle
Do you really want to spend those
extra 20 years in front of the TV, or
playing endless bridge or golf, squandering
years of experience?
No, I didn’t think so.
So, join me each month as we explore
the exciting world of entrepreneurship
for the “ageless”.
Feel free to contact me at blacroix@
shaw.ca for column ideas, positive or
negative feedback, or to share your
experiences.
Cheers!

Investing Ups & Downs
As fall and uncertainty of the weather
to come approaches so does the
continued feeling of uncertainty for
investors. Bouts of volatility in the
markets is unnerving, but normal in
long term investing.
They're not fun, but you can expect
to see market declines periodically
throughout your investing career.
Yet it's hard to sit still when the
market is sliding. You can’t help but
think: "Shouldn't I be doing something?"
Every investor is different,
but here are a few steps that everyone
should consider.
During market volatility:
1. Resist the urge to sell based solely
on recent market movements. Selling
equities when markets drop can
make temporary losses permanent.
Staying the course, while difficult
emotionally, may be healthier for
your portfolio. This doesn't mean
you should hold on blindly, but
I suggest considering an investment's
future prospects and the
role it plays in your portfolio, rather
than being guided by noise and
fear.
2. Take the long view. Markets typically
go up and down, and you're
likely to experience several significant
declines during a long investing
career. But even bear markets—
that is, periods when the market
fell by more than 20%—historically
have been relatively short when
compared to bull markets. Because
timing the market's ups and downs
is nearly impossible, but all investors
would do well to ignore the noise
and stay focused on their plans.
Review your risk tolerance and
your risk capacity
Risk tolerance is your ability to emotionally
handle big price swings; risk
capacity is your financial ability to
take a loss. Market downturns can
be a wake-up call to reconsider your
risk tolerance, although we recommend
waiting until you're calm!
Risk capacity, however, can—and
should—be considered at any time.
Do you have enough cash to handle
near-term goals? Money that
you’ll need soon or that you can’t
afford to lose shouldn't be in the
stock market—it's best invested in
relatively stable assets, such as cash,
money market funds, GIC’s or Treasury
bills. If you're retired, having
your next 12 months of living expenses
in a bank account or money
market fund—and a few more
years' worth in a conservative liquid
investment—can help you stay
calm when stock markets are not.
Make sure you have a diversified
portfolio
Volatile markets also can reveal that
portfolios their owner’s thought
were appropriately diversified in
fact aren't. If you haven't looked
at your portfolio recently to make
sure you understand what each asset
class is doing and that the mix
matches your target asset allocation,

Can you relate?
“Lying awake
trying not to
overthink that
I’m lying awake
and not asleep.”
Sleep is so paramount to our
health. Imbalanced sleep is often
the very first symptom we work
on when restoring health and
wellness. Did you know that we
do much of our healing at night,
while we are supposed to be
asleep? Each sleep stage plays an
essential role in maintaining mental
and physical health.
But what if you are not actually
sleeping, your sleep is interrupted,
you experience insomnia or you’re
kept awake by pain? Healthy sleep
habits are great tools to get closer to
a good night's sleep, here’s a few:
• dim the lights in the evening
• keep the bedroom cool
• turn off the news
• limit blue light
Cannabis for Sleep
• put worry and problem solving on
hold until the morning
What about adding cannabis to your
healthy sleep habits? There are a
growing number of studies showing
that integrating THC and/or CBD into
a sleep routine helps people get a
good night's sleep.
While THC promotes sleep and reduces
the time it takes to fall asleep, it can
also cause morning drowsiness, and
at higher doses, especially for vulnerable
patients, it can cause panic and
anxiety, making insomnia worse. It’s
important to start with small doses
(1-2.5 mg THC). Similarly, CBD at higher
doses promotes deep sleep, while
CBD at lower doses promotes wakefulness
and therefore compensates
for THC's sedating effects. Also start
with small doses (2-5mg CBD) and
slowly increase.
As everyone is different in their response
to cannabis, you may need to
experiment with THC and CBD to find
the correct ratio for you. Your method
of intake is personalized to you as
well. Inhaling will activate quickly and
also taper off within a couple hours.
A sublingual oil activates within 15-
40 min and lasts 2-4 hrs. Edibles activate
within 1-3 hrs and last 6-8 hrs.
In order to fall asleep soundly and
sleep through the night, fat-based infusions
taken 1 hour before bed, may
be your best bet. Slowly increase your
dose till you reach your desired results
without unpleasant side effects.
Consistency is important to start to
see improvements.
Getting a good night's sleep was the
first reason I reached for cannabis
about 12 years ago. I was diagnosed
with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and
was not getting restful sleep at night.
I was fatigued and exhausted all day
and then insomnia would hit at night.
My body was all out of sorts! I couldn’t
get restful and rejuvenating sleep
and started napping 2-3 hrs a day -
with four kids running around the
house. I had to find a better solution!
That’s when cannabis came to help. I
started with inhaling a gentle indica
strain with terpenes high in myrcene
and about 17-20% THC. A
few puffs before bedtime
brought a calm, relaxation
to my body and mind and
gave my body permission
to relax, rest and fall asleep.
References:
Since then, my body has
changed, my aches and
pains have changed, my
stress has changed and my
cannabis routine needs to
change too. I now work
with different methods of
intake including oils and
edibles. I also work with
different ratios of THC to
CBD.

Fun Facts
The Alpine Larch
The Alpine Larch lives at high elevations
in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho,
Montana, British Columbia, and
Alberta. The Alpine Larch is a hardy
tree, often found in the most inhospitable,
rocky spots in north-facing
basins buried by snow much of
the year. It is also the smallest type
of larch, growing from 30-70 ft tall,
and shorter at higher elevations.
The branches of the Alpine Larch
are horizontal to the trunk, irregularly spaced and twisted
by the snow, ice, and winds of its extreme habitats.
(The Western Larch, by contrast, grows straight and tall,
sometimes reaching 200 ft.) The needles of the Alpine
Larch are about 1 inch long and crowded in groups of
30-40.
Larch is one of only two deciduous conifers in North
America. It has needles on what look like typical evergreen
trunks and branches, but like a leafy tree, it drops
its needles in the fall. The needles of the Alpine Larch are
pale blue-green in the summer, but turn a spectacular
golden yellow in the autumn before they fall off for the
winter. Usually, the trees begin turning golden in late
September, reach their peak brightness in mid-October,
and fall off by the winds and storms of November.
The alpine spectacle that larches create in October is so
compelling that many hikers plan annual trips to trails
known for the trees. The larch is a fire-resistant species
that could play an important role as national forest managers
attempt to restore the health of forests across the
West. Amazingly, these trees may live in excess of 1000
years. Larch is reminding us to rest and recover. Its appearance
indicates a time of connection and rejuvenation
by seeing with our heart.

The Halloween Costume...
A bald man with a wooden
leg gets invited to a Halloween
Party. He doesn’t know
what costume to wear to
hide his head and his leg,
So he writes to a costume
company to explain his
problem.
A few days later he received
a parcel with the following
note:
Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed a pirate’s
outfit. The spotted
handkerchief will cover your
bald head and, with your
wooden leg, you will be just
right as a pirate.
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
The man thinks this is
terrible because they have
emphasized his wooden
leg and so he writes a letter
of complaint.
A week goes by and he receives
another parcel and a
note, which says:

My Downsize Adventure ~ Wendy LaCroix
Recently my husband and I downsized
from our 4 bedroom, 3 storey
home in Nelson to a small 3 bedroom
modular home into a 55+ community
close to Balfour. Little did we know at
the time, just how much work was involved
in this. We had 32 years full of
memories, old books, furniture, dishes,
furniture, ski equipment, a mink
stole, and two wedding dresses.
There are so many chapters to this
adventure, including the pros and
cons of getting your house ready to
sell, and the choices between; selling
your house, renting it, renting for the
long term, and buying a condo. The
part that consumed me the most was
the purging of my possessions.
My house was filled with things including
several book shelves of books,
and they had to be sorted into keep
or donate. Then my closet had to be
sorted out into piles: keep, recycle
and garbage. The next was the basement
where I kept a variety of boxes
of photos, resaleable items for the local
garage sale, and items to give to
my family. I quickly realized that selling
them on
Facebook was
not an easy
task, especially
beds, older
style furniture
and assorted
dishes. Local
charities such
as your local
churches will
take a huge
variety of
items, if they
are having a
garage sale.
Used clothing
and bookstores will take a number of
items, but you need to call first to see
if they are taking donations. I ended
up giving a number of furniture items
to my two kids, and some of my items
unfortunately ended up in the recycle
and garbage bins.
If you are looking to declutter, or
downsize in the next couple of years,
start now to organize your items and
where they will go. Next issue will
cover tips on how to declutter and
organize your possessions.

Detoxification for Fall
Autumn season is upon us as the
body naturally undergoes detoxification.
The liver is the main organ
of detoxification in the body and
has three phases of detoxification. A
healthy gut microbiome, meaning
healthy bacteria throughout your
digestive tract is imperative to liver
health and proper detoxification.
This must always be considered first
and foremost before any detoxification:
probiotics can be one of the
most important pillars of detoxification.
Alongside this, bitter foods,
dark green vegetables, enough fiber
(20g/day!), berries, lots of water with
fresh lemon, bone broths alongside
enough magnesium, B-vitamins and
some milk thistle seeds are other
important components to making
sure the liver is properly functioning.
Sulphur is the additional key component
in the detoxification process
and can be found in garlic, cruciferous
vegetables (broccoli, kale, cabbage)
and the sulphur hot springs!
Fermented foods such as sauerkraut,
kombucha or kimchi are required to
support a healthy bacterial flora.
The next important aspect of the
Autumn season, especially for the
elderly, is the importance of supplementing
with vitamin D. Vitamin D
acts as a hormone in the body - not
just a vitamin - and it is required for
many aspects
of health: most
notably the health of the immune
system, the bones, and mental sphere
- helping to prevent seasonal affective
disorder. A reminder that Vitamin
D is a fat-soluble vitamin meaning
you can take too
much and it can
become toxic to
the body so it's
recommended
to stay at recommended
levels of
vitamin D intake
which is best
measured via
measurements
of your blood
levels of vitamin
D.

together? This question
was on the mind of staff
and volunteers of a
seniors’ program in
Creston—and a new pavilion was the result.

Located on the grounds of the Creston and District Community
Complex, the pavilion was built with support from the Trust,

“What we needed was an outdoor meeting space, giving us
options no matter what the COVID restrictions might be,” says
Justine Keirn, Executive Director, Valley Community Services
Society. The society’s Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors
program provides seniors with opportunities to come together,
participate in community activities, connect, support each other
and take pleasure in life.

October Horoscope
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20
1st Week: Aries, others are
counting on you this week,
so you’ll need to direct all of
your attention toward a special
project. Don’t let distractions
get in the way.
2nd Week: It may be tempting
to throw your weight
around and assert power
in a situation, Aries. But this
may backfire in the long run.
Try to be a team player.
3rd Week: Aries, maintain
your alignment with your
dreams and tap into your
warrior instinct if you come
up against a significant obstacle
later in the week.
4th Week: This should be a
very interesting week, Aries.
Money matters will be at the
heart of it. Figure out what
you want to do with the extra
cash that you have accumulated.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21
1st Week: Taurus, rather
than wishing for something
to happen, figure out a plan
to make it happen. Before
taking action, consult with
a few close friends for guidance..
2nd Week: Taurus, someone
close to you may be
driving you crazy, and you’re
tempted to let them know.
However, go with the flow
instead and enjoy this calmer
approach.
3rd Week: Taurus, you’re
naturally good at juggling
many different tasks simultaneously.
Don’t be surprised
if someone recognizes this
and give you a few projects
to handle.
4th Week: Treat everyone
with a bit of caution, Taurus.
Some person in your
circle may need a little extra
support this week, and your
calm and even approach
could be just what’s needed.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
1st Week: Someone may
come to you this week with
a problem asking for your
advice, Gemini. It’s tempting
to react right away. However,
take a few hours to mull
things over.
2nd Week: Gemini, an important
decision must be
made in the days ahead.
Take a calm approach and
do your best to keep your
emotions out of this discussion.
3rd Week: The theme of this
week is “opposites” for you,
Gemini. If you’re a normally
tidy person, you’ll leave
a mess behind. If you are
prompt, you will arrive late.
It could be refreshing.
4th Week: Gemini, this
week has the potential for a
few bumps in the road that
could be avoided if you simply
slow down a bit. Think
things through or you could
trip yourself up.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
1st Week: Someone at work
may not agree with your
point of view lately. Rather
than cause friction, try to
look at things through this
person’s perspective.
2nd Week: Once you involve
others in a situation, it
can be difficult to dial back
their involvement, Cancer.
Consider whether you
should ask for input or go it
alone this week.
3rd Week: This week there
will be a great deal of pressure
on you, Cancer. Try to
remain as calm as possible
while ticking off the boxes
on your to-do list. Ask for
help if you need it.
4th Week: An exciting few
days lie ahead, Cancer. You
may be tempted to spend
much more than you usually
would. Have fun, but keep
track of your finances.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
1st Week: Leo, cooperation
could be essential in the
days and weeks ahead. This
week you will benefit from
being more open-minded
to other people’s suggestions.
2nd Week: Leo, rather than
shouting from the rooftops
how much you love a person,
it may be better to take
a more subtle approach.
Reel in your excitement for
the time being.
3rd Week: Your leadership
skills will be on display this
week, Leo. People at work
and at home will call on you
to make decisions and guide
them through various situations.
4th Week: Leo, even if you
have plans to hang out with
friends, something at home
could crop up that will need
your immediate attention.
Be flexible and at the ready.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
1st Week: It seems that you
have been tasked with moving
from one difficult situation
into another one, Virgo.
Find ways to set aside time
strictly to unwind.
2nd Week: Keeping secrets
is not the way to go, Virgo,
especially when they are
kept from someone close to
you. Why all the smoke and
mirrors? Be open and honest
with yourself and others.
3rd Week: Virgo, this week
you could come up with a
new plan to make a big difference
in the world. It may
start with an assignment at
work or be inspired by volunteering.
4th Week: Virgo, find balance
where you feel out of
sync. Maybe you have been
having relationship woes
or seem out of touch with
family. Make an effort to respond
to these feelings.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 2
1st Week: Keep careful track
of your expenses, Libra. You
may find that lately you have
been going a bit overboard
with expenditures and not
bringing in any extra money.
2nd Week: A financial situation
may be worked out
this week or even inflamed,
Libra. The only way to stay
ahead is to keep careful
track of your expenditures.
3rd Week: Libra, try to learn
as much about the people
around you as possible. They
may share strategies that
can affect your life in many
positive ways. Start asking
the right questions.
4th Week: Libra, even if your
best plans do not work out,
that doesn’t mean you have
to scrap everything and
sulk. Make the most of what
worked and build on that.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
1st Week: Maintain a positive
outlook this week, Scorpio.
Things may not go exactly
according to plan, but
that doesn’t make it any less
successful and satisfying.
2nd Week: Be honest with
yourself about your needs,
Scorpio. If you don’t feel
like socializing in a loud and
public manner, organize
a group to come over for
some more quiet R&R.
3rd Week: You may need
to brush up on your charm
skills, Scorpio. Sometimes
you come at people at full
force. You could benefit from
employing a more slow and
steady approach.
4th Week: Scorpio, you may
find yourself in a situation
that tests your levelheadedness
in a big way this week.
It could throw off your equilibrium
when your plans go
awry.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21
1st Week: Sagittarius, you
may have to put others first
for the next few days, particularly
if you care for an elderly
relative or a young child.
It’s a sacrifice worth making.
2nd Week: Getting involved
with chores and other tasks
can occupy your mind with
some busy work, Sagittarius.
After a brief mental break,
you can return to more serious
tasks.
3rd Week: Sometimes you
can be naturally shy and
quiet, Sagittarius. This week
show others what lies beneath
that quiet surface. Use
your voice and get others excited
about your thoughts.
4th Week: Sagittarius, focus
on communication in the
days to come. The ability to
communicate effectively
will be a true asset as you
work more with others.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
1st Week: Capricorn, let another
person lead a team or
spearhead a project at work,
even if you have an urge to
take control. You can use a
break from your responsibilities.
2nd Week: Finances may
get a boost this week as a
new income stream falls into
your lap, Capricorn. Investigate
it fully before getting
deeply involved.
3rd Week: Try not to hide in
the shadows this week, Capricorn.
This is your time to be
in the spotlight and show
others what you are made
of. A spark will inspire you to
act.
4th Week: A problem that
arises may initially seem insurmountable,
Capricorn.
But you’re more than capable
of overcoming this
obstacle. Look to Pisces for
help.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18
1st Week: Aquarius, handson
work not only helps save
you some money, but also
strengthens your skills. Think
about a more DIY approach
with your next project.
2nd Week: Opening up
about your personal life
may relieve some pressure
and stress that you have
been feeling, Aquarius. Find
someone who doesn’t have
a close stake.
3rd Week: Getting back into
the swing of things after
time away can take a little
while, Aquarius. You may
have forgotten some steps
or feel out of practice. Don’t
be too hard on yourself.
4th Week: Are you ready to
take action and get to work,
Aquarius? An unexpected
home project has fallen
into your lap, and it will take
some effort to get it all done.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20
1st Week: Pisces, if life has
been tedious and filled with
analytical requirements as of
late, take on a creative project
that will work your brain
in new ways.
2nd Week: Don’t spread the
word about a big idea until
you are sure about it and
ready to move, Pisces. Don’t
let others steal your thunder.
3rd Week: You’re used to
dealing with situations as
they arise, Pisces. Plan ahead
for what you anticipate will
come along this week.
4th Week: You could wind
up learning something simply
by letting the wind take
you where it will, Pisces. Firm
plans are unnecessary this
week.
