Corporate astrologer

NEW YORK (UPI) - First
there was the corporate
“shrink.” Now comes (ne age
of the corporate astrologer
whom bosses can call on not
only to solve sticky per-
sonnel problems, but also to
aid them in making major
business decisions.

One of this new breed, Jeff
Jawer, 33, advises among
other businesses a firm that
publishes a stockmarket
newsletter, an Atlanta-based
commodities firm, a sporting
good store and the makers of
a Cigarette paper.

Besides doing astrological
charts {of individual em-
ployees to determine who
should be doing what, and
when, Jawer also does them
for the company as a whole
to determine whether its
time to diversify, sell, hire or
fire.

Plans by Blue Star Con-

struction for a proposed
warchouse at 1469 Rupert
Street were advanced
another stage by North
Vancouver Distmet council
Monday

Council decided that the
appropnate by-law should

be prepared by © staff,
although the proposal sull
has to be considered by the
advisory design panel and
the advisory planning
commission

The building proposed ts a

“Yes. you can do a
horoscope for a business,”
the Atlanta-based astrologer
said. “You can do charts for
rocks, animals, chairs,
anything.”

Jawer passed an &-hour
exam for a_ license to
practice astrology in Atlanta
— the only city in the United
States where such a cer-
lificate is required.

Lately he has been busy

travelling around the
country selling an
astrological computer that
he helped develop. “It’s not
meant to replace
professional astrologers,”

Jawer said. “But to bridge
the gap between them and
the newspaper horoscopes.
which are most general.”

An astrologer can provide
several services for a
business, Jawer said.

“Part of it involves per-
sonnel,” he said. “You serve
as a sort of corporate
psychologist. Y -u ean do a
character analysis: An
employee might be perfectly
qualified for a position, but
is it the mght time in his life
to make such a move? Are
two employees compatible?

“And then you~ can
provide service for the
employees acting as a sort of
in-house ‘shrink.’”

There are the corporate

horoscopes that can be
based on = incorporation
dates, certain — significant

agreements, or even the date
of a first sale. “You can do

several charts and decide
which one looks like a
company .~

Using that date as a base
point and = tracing the

movement of the planets,
one might determine that
now is “a good time to
launch a new product or to
build a new plant.” Jawer
said.

Jawer earned a degree in
the “History and Science of
Astrology” at the University
of Massachusetts at Amherst
under a program that allows
students to design their own
majors. His advisor was a
classics professer.

Jawer firmly believes
astrology can be used to
provide guidance for in-
dividuals, relationships,

companies, cities and even
international! politics.

But even beyond the
practical application,
“astrology is music to me,”
he said.
