Description:
If you’ll take my hand, I’ll show you exactly how to creep inside his mind, make him lose control and beg you to be his girlfriend or wife… even if you’re the only one trying…
Did you know that Pisces is one of the hardest signs in the zodiac to understand?
Yes, if the man your interested in was born between February 19 to March 20 then this is going to the
most important message you’ll ever see about him…
Because in the next 90 seconds your going to see exactly what’s keeping the Pisces man away from you… even if you’ve got an explosive sexual chemistry between you…
And you’ll soon begin to realize how you can make him so passionate… so devoted… so obsessed… without any power struggle or appearing desperate.
In fact, he’s going to become so desperate for you, even chasing you, stalking you (in a cute way), begging you… to be his and only his girlfriend or wife…
Now you must be wondering who the heck am I to claim you can understand the hardest sign in the zodiac.
Hi this is Anna Kovach, and you may know me from one of my many popular blog posts, books or my best selling programs.
Actually, my aunt (and to some extent my mom) revealed a very powerful secret to me while I was going through a hopeless break up with my boyfriend.
But before that let me tell you why I believe there’s a hope for you.
Now I can almost see you shaking your head in disbelief…
So let me ask this: don’t you know almost impossible couples even abusive ones getting married or getting back together again and again… now there’s a bad example but I’m sure you know weird couples like homely women attracting and or marrying fine men… and vice versa.
The Truth Is Couples Unite And Reunite Everyday, REGARDLESS Of Their Situation!
And this is especially true about the Pisces man (I’ll tell you why in a moment).
But seriously, doesn’t that make sense? If most of us can think of couples that have gotten hooked again and again… could there be some hidden recipe or technique to ignite passion and capture a Piscean heart?
And I’m pretty sure they’re NO stupid “magical love spell” or “black magic” but for them whatever they said or did; it was MOSTLY by accident… which triggered the magic.
Chances are one of them said and did the right things at the right time in the right order.
The thing is it’s never about changing yourself. It’s about making it HIS idea to pursue you or come back to you.
I Wonder How Soon You Realize The Existence Of Magical Love Recipe…
What if you realize this magical pattern? What if you discover how to creep inside his mind… past any barrier… to do the right things.
Now don’t get me wrong, every situation is different… every relationship is different… heck, every man is different…
Maybe he hasn’t asked you out or he doesn’t even know you exist… or he hasn’t realized you’re special… or you’re miles apart from him and he’s cheating on you… or he’s seeking a divorce after 40 years of your amazing married life…
Whatever your situation, what if you could REALLY unite or reunite with him for forever?
What they did by accident can be learned and repeated by you over and over again… Now just like we organize millions of music titles according to the genres, year of launch, or even moods…
… Astrology organizes men according to their signs… easier to understand yet each one is unique…
If I were you I’d be skeptical right now… and that’s why I’ve decided to reveal everything right here, right now, once and for all.
But before we go forward it’s crucial to understand…
Can You Really Predict Your Future?
I really wish I could predict it for you.
But I’m not going to pull my punches here… Greedy people out there have created a booming business out of it.
Astrology Is NOT A Fortune-Telling Or Superstitious Practice.
But fortunately, with Astrology you can understand what you are up against.
You know, what do famous scientists like Galileo, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Johannes Kepler have in common?
These scientists believed in Astrology. So clearly, Astrology appeals mostly to intelligent people.
It’s both an Art and Science.
You see, everyone would tell you something different about men… but I’m going to dive specifically deeper so there’s no scope for confusion… to arm you up to neck.
So What Makes A Pisces Man So Charming… But So Cold, Mean And Unemotional…
Pisces men are co-ruled by Neptune (the God of Sea) and Jupiter (philosophy).
Sea is full of marvelous treasures, storms and sharks… and you could never estimate the depth in philosophy.
Neptune is responsible for all the illusions around him… and if by mistake it creates an illusion of coldness… then you’ve got a cold Pisces man…
You’ve to go past this barrier… You MUST not fall for his false illusions and soon he’ll be determined like a pitbull dog to get you.
This is just tip of the iceberg… but I’m sure you’re starting to realize why he’s so hot and cold.
Of course, you can’t change or control him but you’ve to give it a proper shot and learn how to attract and never lose him…
So Are Pisces Man Worth It?
Absolutely, YES. Intensity with a Pisces man can be through the roof along with sexual chemistry… they make very fine lovers.
If you can snatch a Pisces man then go for it. And I’m going to make it as simple as 123…
But Do You Make These Mistakes To Attract & Keep Your Pisces Man?
Please realize… this is NOT your fault. You weren’t taught about this in school or at home… And there are no “capture Piscean heart night schools”…
See there’re all kinds of courses and books available… from Cars to money to clothes to Chemistry… But there are no guides for love. What a shame, huh?
But that’s about to change for you.
I sincerely believe the reason you found this hard-to-find page is that your destiny has something in store for you.
Pisces men will soon stop being a mystery to you.
Because by the time you’ll read this page you’ll have a step-by-step plan to steal a Pisces’s heart and to make him fall in love with you forever.
I Wonder How Soon You Realize Astrology Can Easily Bring You Love, Luck, And Happiness With the Pisces Man
This is going to be a bit embarrassing for me… But let me tell you my story first… and then you’ll realize the truth in what I just said.
You see, even though I’m a devoted Astrologer now, not too long ago Zodiacs, Horoscopes, Astrology were mumbo-jumbo to me.
But Then I Met ‘The One’
I was a college senior when I met a hot man, Frank, a Taurus. We got addicted as chemistry between us was amazing right out the gate.
Being a brilliant student of Psychology I assumed what a man wants. I thought I’d be able to control him.
And everything was indeed going my way.
Until One Cold Day He Said “Good-Bye”… BAM!!!
I couldn’t realize when things turned south. Until one day he dumped me.
Something wasn’t right between us and I was getting red flags… He wasn’t making eye contact with me, he wasn’t sharing all the details and suddenly he was out with his “friends” more often than me…
I didn’t know how to handle his dark side.
And Then I Sought Help From My Professors and Psychologists.
I’d access to some of the best minds in the world… or so I thought. Things turned so bad that he blocked me. And he wouldn’t even talk to me.
None of those “loopholes” my professors boasted about worked. I realized they have pretty bad marriages themselves.
Finally, I saw Frank dating a damn good hottie. I had no chance… The witch stole my love from me… and drove the final nail in the coffin.
I cried for days and nights dreaming about Frank, binging on junk food… trying Law of Attraction and what not…
At that time, my mom took pity on me and suggested me to take a vacation to Romania… My family emigrated from there when I was small.
Of course, I wasn’t excited about the vacation. But somehow I packed my bags and flew out to Romania.
My first stop was Otopeni, slightly north of Bucharest. At Vernesti, I had to meet my aunt. And then after about half an hour’s drive to Soresti was my destination.
The journey was pleasant and I felt lighter. And I was about to witness a great secret of life because unknowingly I nudged the ball rolling in my favor… Finally, when I met my aunt I felt positive and wonderful. There was something different about her.
And even as I was enjoying the countryside, she surprised me by asking what was wrong with me. Since I didn’t want to suffocate my feelings I revealed everything to her.
She just smiled and asked, “What sign is he?” when I replied she had an even bigger grin.
Why is she so insensitive… I thought.
But I NEVER expected what happened next…
I didn’t know my aunt was an ace Astrologer… and she nearly spooked me by revealing a few details about Frank…
See, Astrology is big in Romania. TV, magazines and newspapers are filled with ads from psychics, Astrologers and oracles.
And my aunt was one of the best in this job. Her customers include top honchos, politicians; CEOs… people would fly in from around the world to consult with her.
When we reached home (which was more like a castle) my life was about to change, forever.
Meanwhile, I was still shocked how she got those details about Frank… she prepared a full Synastry report.
It was magical, I felt like holding a deep dark magic in my hands. It was so much more than a psychological analysis.
Actually, for the first time I realized Astrology is much more than the usual junk I used to read in magazines and newspaper.
Of course, you know the phenomenon of the tides. The sun and the moon, even when they are millions of miles away from the earth, move HUNDEREDS OF BILLIONS OF TONS OF WATER so effortlessly. Take this: your body is 70% water.
In fact, it recently came to light that the wife of ex President Ronald Reagan, one of America’s most famous presidents, relied on Astrology to guide her husband to great successes in White House AFTER the Iran-Contra fiasco in the mid-1980s.
Remember, it was Reagan who ended the cold war without firing a single bullet.
It’s a fact that from politics to the stock market, from relationship problems to marriages, Astrology is one of the most consulted sciences.
There is overwhelming proof now… in 1960s, Astrologers beat Psychologist hands down when it came to predicting case histories.
I wish I’d visited my aunt earlier. It’s too late because Frank is with the witch now.
At least I realized why the relationship failed.
But then my aunt showed me a glimmer of hope. Things were not over yet… I still got one shot… if I’m prepared to do some homework.
I jumped on it. I didn’t want to lose him.
Armed with the new tactics, I headed back home to win my Frank back. I called him immediately. There was no room for misfires or duds.
Surprisingly he picked up my phone! And asked where I’d been. Of course, I stuck to what my aunt had told me.
And then we talked for over an hour. No pleading, no emotional blackmailing, no smoke and mirror techniques.
And then he said, “Oh meet me whenever you want…” He turned down all of his appointments just to see me. Now that had never happened before.
By the time, we finished Frank was almost dying to meet me. I wondered why he’s so desperate… is it going to be just another “rebound sex with an ex”? I dived deeper in my notes.
When we met, initially I was terrified… What if he discovered I’ve something in my mind… actually, it doesn’t matter because I was free enough to go with the situation.
Amazingly by the time we finished he was feeling guilty for breaking up with me… and all along I was smiling and saying to myself, “Just like my aunt said…”
Long story short, he darted back like a lost dog to its rightful owner and I realized the true power of Astrology.
Over the next few years, I delved deeper into this ancient science. And soon I started helping out others in the matters of love and it became my loving profession.
Now an obvious question is what happened to our relationship after all these years.
Well, our love grew deeper… And after almost 2 years – he went down on his knees and proposed to me.
It couldn’t have happened without my aunt, Astrology and the roadmap she gave me.
Now It’s Your Turn to Steal A Pisces Man’s Heart
Imagine his mind as a maze and locked at the center is his heart. Also in the room are bottomless pits, hostile women and dangerous beasts…
Thing is even if you could walk through some “loophole”… you could never manipulate the beast into submission. Because of the influence of the Neptune (and the Jupiter)… they’ll create illusions around you and drown you before you could steal his heart.
But what if you’ve got a perfect roadmap with written instructions showing you which place to avoid, which to visit and how to handle his dark side to steal his heart easily?
Of course, consultation with a good relationship Astrologer is your best bet.
But it’s impossible for me to guide everyone. And many women might not be able to afford my regular fees let alone my private visiting fees. It was disheartening for me.
An idea struck me and this is going to blow your mind away.

TORONTO – TD Bank Group, which is mired in a money laundering scandal in the U.S., says chief executive Bharat Masrani will retire next year.
Masrani, who will retire officially on April 10, 2025, says the bank’s, “anti-money laundering challenges,” took place on his watch and he takes full responsibility.
The bank named Raymond Chun, TD’s group head, Canadian personal banking, as his successor.
As part of a transition plan, Chun will become chief operating officer on Nov. 1 before taking over the top job when Masrani steps down at the bank’s annual meeting next year.
TD also announced that Riaz Ahmed, group head, wholesale banking and president and CEO of TD Securities, will retire at the end of January 2025.
TD has taken billions in charges related to ongoing U.S. investigations into the failure of its anti-money laundering program.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 19, 2024.
“Communication is one of the most important skills you require for a successful life.” — Catherine Pulsifer, author.
I’m one hundred percent in agreement with Pulsifer, which is why my evaluation of candidates begins with their writing skills. If a candidate’s writing skills and verbal communication skills, which I’ll assess when interviewing, aren’t well above average, I’ll pass on them regardless of their skills and experience.
Why?
Because business is fundamentally about getting other people to do things—getting employees to be productive, getting customers to buy your products or services, and getting vendors to agree to a counteroffer price. In business, as in life in general, you can’t make anything happen without effective communication; this is especially true when job searching when your writing is often an employer’s first impression of you.
Think of all the writing you engage in during a job search (resumes, cover letters, emails, texts) and all your other writing (LinkedIn profile, as well as posts and comments, blogs, articles, tweets, etc.) employers will read when they Google you to determine if you’re interview-worthy.
With so much of our communication today taking place via writing (email, text, collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, ClickUp, WhatsApp and Rocket.Chat), the importance of proficient writing skills can’t be overstated.
When assessing a candidate’s writing skills, you probably think I’m looking for grammar and spelling errors. Although error-free writing is important—it shows professionalism and attention to detail—it’s not the primary reason I look at a candidate’s writing skills.
The way someone writes reveals how they think.
Clear writing = Clear thinking
Structured paragraphs = Structured mind
Impactful sentences = Impactful ideas
Effective writing isn’t about using sophisticated vocabulary. Hemingway demonstrated that deceptively simple, stripped-down prose can captivate readers. Effective writing takes intricate thoughts and presents them in a way that makes the reader think, “Damn! Why didn’t I see it that way?” A good writer is a dead giveaway for a good thinker. More than ever, the business world needs “good thinkers.”
Therefore, when I come across a candidate who’s a good writer, hence a good thinker, I know they’re likely to be able to write:
Emails that don’t get deleted immediately and are responded to
Simple, concise, and unambiguous instructions
Pitches that are likely to get read
Social media content that stops thumbs
Human-sounding website copy
Persuasively, while attuned to the reader’s possible sensitivities
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: AI, which job seekers are using en masse. Earlier this year, I wrote that AI’s ability to hyper-increase an employee’s productivity—AI is still in its infancy; we’ve seen nothing yet—in certain professions, such as writing, sales and marketing, computer programming, office and admin, and customer service, makes it a “fewer employees needed” tool, which understandably greatly appeals to employers. In my opinion, the recent layoffs aren’t related to the economy; they’re due to employers adopting AI. Additionally, companies are trying to balance investing in AI with cost-cutting measures. CEOs who’ve previously said, “Our people are everything,” have arguably created today’s job market by obsessively focusing on AI to gain competitive advantages and reduce their largest expense, their payroll.
It wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that most AI usage involves generating written content, content that’s obvious to me, and likely to you as well, to have been written by AI. However, here’s the twist: I don’t particularly care.
Why?
Because the fundamental skill I’m looking for is the ability to organize thoughts and communicate effectively. What I care about is whether the candidate can take AI-generated content and transform it into something uniquely valuable. If they can, they’re demonstrating the skills of being a good thinker and communicator. It’s like being a great DJ; anyone can push play, but it takes skill to read a room and mix music that gets people pumped.
Using AI requires prompting effectively, which requires good writing skills to write clear and precise instructions that guide the AI to produce desired outcomes. Prompting AI effectively requires understanding structure, flow and impact. You need to know how to shape raw information, such as milestones throughout your career when you achieved quantitative results, into a compelling narrative.
So, what’s the best way to gain and enhance your writing skills? As with any skill, you’ve got to work at it.
Two rules guide my writing:
Use strong verbs and nouns instead of relying on adverbs, such as “She dashed to the store.” instead of “She ran quickly to the store.” or “He whispered to the child.” instead of “He spoke softly to the child.”
Avoid using long words when a shorter one will do, such as “use” instead of “utilize” or “ask” instead of “inquire.” As attention spans get shorter, I aim for clarity, simplicity and, most importantly, brevity in my writing.
Don’t just string words together; learn to organize your thoughts, think critically, and communicate clearly. Solid writing skills will significantly set you apart from your competition, giving you an advantage in your job search and career.

MONTREAL – Politics, public opinion and salary hikes south of the border helped push Air Canada toward a deal that secures major pay gains for pilots, experts say.
Hammered out over the weekend, the would-be agreement includes a cumulative wage hike of nearly 42 per cent over four years — an enormous bump by historical standards — according to one source who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The previous 10-year contract granted increases of just two per cent annually.
The federal government’s stated unwillingness to step in paved the way for a deal, noted John Gradek, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made it plain the two sides should hash one out themselves.
“Public opinion basically pressed the federal cabinet, including the prime minister, to keep their hands clear of negotiations and looking at imposing a settlement,” said Gradek, who teaches aviation management at McGill University.
After late-night talks at a hotel near Toronto’s Pearson airport, the country’s biggest airline and the union representing 5,200-plus aviators announced early Sunday morning they had reached a tentative agreement, averting a strike that would have grounded flights and affected some 110,000 passengers daily.
The relative precariousness of the Liberal minority government as well as a push to appear more pro-labour underlay the prime minister’s hands-off approach to the negotiations.
Trudeau said Friday the government would not step in to fix the impasse — unlike during a massive railway work stoppage last month and a strike by WestJet mechanics over the Canada Day long weekend that workers claimed road roughshod over their constitutional right to collective bargaining. Trudeau said the government respects the right to strike and would only intervene if it became apparent no negotiated deal was possible.
“They felt that they really didn’t want to try for a third attempt at intervention and basically said, ‘Let’s let the airline decide how they want to deal with this one,'” said Gradek.
“Air Canada ran out of support as the week wore on, and by the time they got to Friday night, Saturday morning, there was nothing left for them to do but to basically try to get a deal set up and accepted by ALPA (Air Line Pilots Association).”
Trudeau’s government was also unlikely to consider back-to-work legislation after the NDP tore up its agreement to support the Liberal minority in Parliament, Gradek said. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party has traditionally toed a more pro-business line, also said last week that Tories “stand with the pilots” and swore off “pre-empting” the negotiations.
Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau had asked Ottawa on Thursday to impose binding arbitration pre-emptively — “before any travel disruption starts” — if talks failed. Backed by business leaders, he’d hoped for an effective repeat of the Conservatives’ move to head off a strike in 2012 by legislating Air Canada pilots and ground crew to stick to their posts before any work stoppage could start.
The request may have fallen flat, however. Gradek said he believes there was less anxiety over the fallout from an airline strike than from the countrywide railway shutdown.
He also speculated that public frustration over thousands of cancelled flights would have flowed toward Air Canada rather than Ottawa, prompting the carrier to concede to a deal yielding “unheard of” gains for employees.
“It really was a total collapse of the Air Canada bargaining position,” he said.
Pilots are slated to vote in the coming weeks on the four-year contract.
Last year, pilots at Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and American Airlines secured agreements that included four-year pay boosts ranging from 34 per cent to 40 per cent, ramping up pressure on other carriers to raise wages.
After more than a year of bargaining, Air Canada put forward an offer in August centred around a 30 per cent wage hike over four years.
But the final deal, should union members approve it, grants a 26 per cent increase in the first year alone, retroactive to September 2023, according to the source. Three wage bumps of four per cent would follow in 2024 through 2026.
Passengers may wind up shouldering some of that financial load, one expert noted.
“At the end of the day, it’s all us consumers who are paying,” said Barry Prentice, who heads the University of Manitoba’s transport institute.
Higher fares may be mitigated by the persistence of budget carrier Flair Airlines and the rapid expansion of Porter Airlines — a growing Air Canada rival — as well as waning demand for leisure trips. Corporate travel also remains below pre-COVID-19 levels.
Air Canada said Sunday the tentative contract “recognizes the contributions and professionalism of Air Canada’s pilot group, while providing a framework for the future growth of the airline.”
The union issued a statement saying that, if ratified, the agreement will generate about $1.9 billion of additional value for Air Canada pilots over the course of the deal.
Meanwhile, labour tension with cabin crew looms on the horizon. Air Canada is poised to kick off negotiations with the union representing more than 10,000 flight attendants this year before the contract expires on March 31.
