How to Interpret a Date (for New Starts)
FOR NEW STARTS, MAJOR PURCHASES AND CONTRACTS:
- Look at the Final Result code, the color of the top line (Finish Line Flag).
- Check for Time-Out periods, shown by red hourglasses.
- Check the color of the rest of the codes.
Here’s how to interpret some possible dates:
The Final Result is green, and most of the other codes are green:
Go for it! This is your ideal date to start anything new or sign a contract.
The Final Result is green, but most of the other codes are yellow:
This date shows a new start or contract filled with obstacles, resistance, and challenges, yet when all is said and done, everything works out well in the end. You discover the issues early, work through the challenges, and the final results are positive.
The Final Result is green, and there’s a blue code:
Watch for mistakes in assumptions, schedules, costs, etc., when you begin this project or sign the contract. Something critical may be overlooked, but as long as you fix it, you’ll get a good outcome. However, the positive results may be delayed due to mistakes or wrong assumptions.
The Final Result is green, and some codes below are red:
This is not a good period for new starts if you can avoid it. Anticipate obstacles and delays before you finally get the good final result. You will eventually get one, although just a lot later than you expect! Start by rethinking the project or contract.
The Final Result is yellow or orange, and some codes below are red:
Forget starting anything new or signing a contract on a day like this. After lots of challenges, delays at every turn, and plenty of obstacles, the project or contract results are challenging, disappointing, or possibly considered a complete failure.
The Final Result is yellow, and most of the other codes are green:
This date indicates the project or contract goes smoothly until you reach the final result. That’s when you discover the results are disappointing, not what you expected or challenging. New starts or contracts tend to start well, but from not digging deeply enough or assuming too many things, the final results don’t meet your expectations.
The Final Result is yellow or orange, and there's a blue code:
Slow down and start rethinking what you are missing here. It's important and whatever it is, you are about to embark on a project or contract that will not yield positive results. Go back to the drawing board instead!
The Final Result is red, and the other codes are green and yellow:
Forget it! Stall for a better date or time. Don’t start anything new during a Time-Out.
The Final Result is orange, and the other codes are green:
Something is falling out of the deal or project and it won't come together. Choose a better date to start or sign.
How to Interpret a Date (for General Business)
FOR CONDUCTING DAILY BUSINESS:
Not for new starts, major purchases, or signing contracts.
- Pay attention to the Time-Outs.
- Check the lower three code lines (Running Man, Telephone and Handshake lines).
- In general, you can ignore the top Final Result code.
Here are a few possibilities:
The codes are mostly green, and there is no Time-Out:
This is a day when there is little or no resistance, few or no obstacles, and things tend to flow well. Generally, there is more harmony and it’s easier to get agreement and make headway. However, there’s also less dynamic energy in a day like this, so if you like lots of action and the challenges that go with it, you’ll prefer mostly yellow dates.
The codes are mostly yellow, and there is no Time-Out:
This is a day filled with crises, obstacles, challenges or resistance. While this may seem difficult, much of our business culture thrives on these days, as they’re also filled with action. If you like adrenaline rushes, you’ll enjoy these days. If you would rather have an easier time, then you’ll prefer mostly green dates.
The codes are mostly green, but there’s a long Time-Out:
This is a very pleasant day, but there’s no energy to push forward. If you try to make decisions, purchases or implement a new start during the Time-Out, you’ll meet with severe obstacles later, until nothing comes of it. Instead, gather information, brainstorm, research, review, write, clean, or finish tasks. Don't make important decisions, purchases or implement new plans! You’re missing critical information.
The codes are mostly red:
These are periods to slow down, rethink or redo projects and anticipate delays. You’ll find these periods to be much more useful and productive if you schedule 50% or less of your time than you normally do. That way you'll have time for the unexpected crises that arise. Depending on which lines are red, there can be communication difficulties, computer failures, or transportation delays. Or it may be time to rethink finances, prices, values, partnerships, strategic plans, new products, or manufacturing. See the individual line codes for details.
There’s a Time-Out and a Green $:
If the Time-Out is short or early in the day, you could start a promotion before or after the Time-Out. If the Time-Out is in the middle of the workday, you could start the promotion before the Time-Out begins. There could be slow sales during the Time-Out though. Never start a promotion or do a major mailing during a Time-Out. As this Guide covers many time zones, even conflicting factors that occur on each date are shown.
