Know thyself are two powerful words! Use your astrological chart  for great advantages in selling success. This is a 2006 guide to  make your sun sign make you shine, along with areas you should work on to improve, lucky days, & selling tips. It would serve the reader well, to peruse the othe sun signs as well, because we all reflect other suns in our own, and they are all well heeded tips. Knowledge IS power and power is the first word in power selling!

ARIES :  (March 21-April 20)  Aggressive & competitive, Arietans would do well to use these tendencies to thoroughly investigate the sales potential of similar items by using the completed items search tool. Militant at heart, once you set your sites on the highest price attained prior, set out to attack your adversaries and attain at least that price or more. Through hard work & dilligence you are likely to achieve your goals to a great extent. The ram will rise to the challenge by plotting his strategy wisely, using only the best of what he gleens from other peoples selling pages & adding his own imaginative ideas to make the most money for each item he or she sells. Aries also has a keen a pulse on pricing. They know if their item is set too high, the bid is suffocated before the auction begins. In December the position of Jupiter on the 7th provides you with the best time to strengthen your finances.

TAURUS :  (April 21-May 21)  Use your commercial integrity to it's fullest. Taureans most likely have excellent feedback, and as you are steadfast, you keep it that way. You are capable of maintaining a clientelle who will return again & again due to your excellent selling practices behind the scenes. As long as you avoid that obstinate tendency when dealing with problems that may arise, you could easily have an entourage of followers. You love to surround yourself with beauty, and it shows in the detail of your packaging, which is your final impression on a customer. You like beautiful things, and may find that selling the items that attract you personally will attract others too. Although security is a big thing for you, products not only from usual sources but new sources as well, should boost your sales. All this can add to your pocketbook & can help you maintain that materialistic wealth you so much enjoy. The period between April to December could be an extremely favorable selling time for you this year.

GEMINI :  (May 22-June 21) Geminis hate the 9 to 5 routine, & do well in the home based work field such as eBay. However,as you love reason & logic, you should find this tip to be the most helpful: The Geminian would do best to pay attention to detail. Prone to shirk off duties for fun, you might find yourself rushing to finish & misspell words in your ad, or worse yet in your title! If people can't find it, they can't buy it. A sloppy title can also lead to disaster by having only a few, (or worse yet, only one) person find it. The few who are wise in the ways of the search might find your item & place that low bargain bid that no one else sees to outbid. Also, in loving variety & duality you may do well by selling an assortment of things that will not only keep your interest, but your buyers too. April & December could help you get good success in your dealings & could have you seeing a substantial profit.

CANCER :  (June 22-July23) Cancerians are practical. You will do best to cut surplus expenditures. Try signing up with your local recycle center. Many times you can advertise for free packaging materials such as packing peanuts, bubble wrap, styrofoam, boxes & bags. You not only will save yourself many an expense that tend to cut into profits, but you will also save the mother earth you so love. You might have to advertise a set drop off time, but as you are a homebody by nature, you should be able to arrange a particular time that will be consistently convenient for you. Many of you like crafts & crafting and may do well selling your own personal wares. In the 1st half of the year retreat into your shell, create & bone up on selling tips & after July when you take the 'L' off learning you'll be left with earning. That's where you shine in the 2nd half of the year.

LEO :  (July 24-Augut 23) You tend to be generous to a fault, but it would serve you well to be wary of placing too much faith in others where money is concerned. Shipping promptly is essential for achieving a positive feedback you can boast about, but don't be too hasty and ship to people before the check has cleared! You also might want to use your settings in MY EBAY to weed out those buyers with a bad track record for payment. Better to be cautious beforehand than to be bitten after the bid. Leo is fond of pleasure, but sometimes to your own loss. You might also consider leaving that nest egg you've acquired through the year in your PayPal account so that it can produce more income with just the interest rates it provides. Sometimes it isn't how much you make, but what you do with what you make that will bring you the riches you desire & deserve. Between February & May the position of Saturn in 11th should tend to multiply your sources of income. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BidderBlockLogin

VIRGO :  (August 24-September 23)  It is important to the virgo to attain financial self-suffiency through autonomy. Selling on eBay would be a perfect niche for you. You are usually seriously committed to what you set your mind to. You are concientious, self-disciplined and at the top of your game in efficiency & follow through. You won't take the "list it & leave attitude" which leads to delays in answering important questions, slow invoicing & mailing, and eventually negative feedback. It takes one year to recoup one negative, and it simply isn't something you would allow to jeapordize your self-employment carreer. The bonus is, everyone can make a mistake, but Virgos are on constant lookout for self-improvement. They learn from errors, and what doesn't kill them, makes them stronger. Jupiter, the planet of good luck, is in your money zone through October. Take advantage of it & list frequently. eBay really is an odds game. The more you list, the better the chance you have to succeed!

LIBRA :  (September 24-October 23) Being a balanced character by nature Librans would do well to list in both the fixed price & auction formats. Fixed Price allows you to sell immediately, at the price you want, & in multiple quantities. Auctions allow for maximization of your final sales price. You might be pleasantly surprised with bids surpassing your expectations. You have a good head for business, & do well with determining which products you list do better in which format. Truth is important to you also, and it benefits you to give accurate, detailed descriptions with plenty of photographs. Your buyers will repay you with repeat visits because of this. Late October & November seem to be positive times for financial success this year.

SCORPIO :  (October 24-November 22) Scorpio rules those unseen forces we call the occult. Occult means Hidden From View. The Scorpion however, knows the importance of keeping their private selves hidden from view, but not their auctions! They would do well to use eBays promotional tools, like listing upgrades & advertising programs.

This year partnership plays a large role in your success. You are also full of energy, & avoid tedium, but it would serve you well to be mindful of eBay rules and regulations, as well as the governments.

CAPRICORN : (December 22-January 20)  You are the rags to riches type & usually manage to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. If you are feeling a slump in sales, you might want to study up on how specific events & seasonal changes can result in sales spikes & interesting market trends on eBay. There really are good & bad days & times to list, as well as hot streaks that you can jump on early & ride out until you catch the next wave. Bidding wars don't happen at 3:00 am on a Wednesday night! You are also farsighted & have patience. Perseverence pays off for you in the end. Between February & May Saturn's position in 6th house, & Jupiter's position in 9th house between January & September, should help you enhance your affluence.

AQUARIUS :  (January 20-February 19)  Aquarians would do best to use their creative & quirky genius to add spice to their listings through the use of colorful, eye catching selling pages & by using eloquent, fluid language that will catch their buyers attention. You can catch many fish just by using a well planned title as bait. Your pages should reflect your charm and appeal, and the buyers will value your sparkling personality that shows through your advertising. You might do very well by selling electronics & gadgets, as you are usually a step ahead of others in this field. By mid-year, you could really feel the positive effects of your talents. You could see some unexpected gains in your finances with Uranus beginning its trek through your solar second house and eclipses activating your money sectors then also. The last week of June through to the last week of July should be a power period for you in terms of attracting what you want in your life. December could be a stellar month for you as well.

PISCES :  (February 20-March 20)  Making money out of your hobbies is something you can do in 2006. You get an idea for a money making scheme in February, and while it takes a few months to get off the ground, it's worth sticking with. Your goal might be to set up a shop on eBay, and watch as your efforts start to produce income even while you sleep! Intuition plays a big part for you. Once your gut finds you yearning to pursue, don't let anyone dissuade you, even yourself (as you are often apt to do). Opportunists at heart, you would do well at buying & reselling used, antique or collectible items. Your talents may even allow you to buy merchandise on eBay, and resell it for a higher price & profit! Pisceans share Jupiter with Sagittarius, so you may want to read their horoscope as well. You're at your creative best in November.
