Forecasting Burnouts: Curbing Employee Turnover with the help of astrology and numerology cycles

Over the years, countless individuals have sat across my desk and shared their stories. Two main areas of concern stand out: work and marriage. As HR directors, you know well that the two are interrelated, and that if things are not going well in one, then chances are that the other is likely to suffer.

In the past, it was sufficient for companies to measure employee productivity and performance against statistically or mechanically established targets and goals. Today's company heads and HR directors are faced with the challenge of having to tend to the far less tangible and less obvious needs of their employees, from emotional intelligence to work-life wellness and job satisfaction. And to reinforce this challenge, employees are growing to expect that these needs be met by their employers.

I have seen many employees in consultation who have suffered burnout and have taken leave from their jobs. The reason these people give for their burnout is often a vague description of a profound discontent. Usually, By the time they come for a consultation, several months, even years have elapsed since they were last happily and gainfully employed.

When I look at their trends and cycles (as shown in their birth charts), it becomes immediately clear to me that had they consulted earlier, we could have identified the potentially stressful period and considered some options well before the situation got out of hand. Planetary trainsits and cycles are clear indicators of upcoming trends. With this knowledge, the individual can plan and take appropriate measures, much like we do as the seasons change.

When fall comes, we clean up the garden, change the tires on the car, get an oil change, basically get ready for winter. Just like when fall comes, we don't give up on our garden, we just lay it to rest for the winter season, nor do we give up driving, we put on snow tires, an employee does not have to quit his/her job just because they are experiencing undue stress. Instead, an employee who is facing a particularly challenging series of transits can request a 3-day or 4-day workweek, or a change of level of responsibility, or try a different shift, for the period of the transits. These highly stressful periods tend to last on average, about a year, sometimes more, sometimes a bit less.

The question you need to ask is: Can you afford to lose a key employee, one who is educated and trained with years of experience in your company? Given the important costs associated with training key employees, these costs include the stress of integrating a new member in the work environment, the answer to that question is no doubt a resounding "no".

Is it possible to identify those times when a person is likely to experience a burnout? Absolutely! It is possible to identify many other types of periods as well, such as a readiness for change, for taking on additional responsibility, for growth and learning. It is also possible to identify times of relationship stress. Here again, if a person gets help in the appropriate time and attends to their marriage issues, they may avoid the trauma and devastation of divorce.

The remaining question is: can you afford to not use our trends, cycles and lifestyle planning services?
