 I came across the bull in this picture last week in Bangalow. Bangalow is this beautifully picturesque town slightly inland from Byron Bay on the north coast of New South Wales here in Australia. In the photo he looks content- and he is…we had a bit of a roadside chat, as you do. And why wouldn’t he be? Just check out that view across the rolling fields to the Pacific Ocean. He...

 I’m on holiday on Queensland’s gorgeous Sunshine Coast (hence the photo). So here’s one I prepared earlier ie last year… My Aries BMF and I talk a lot about goals. Actually, that statement is not strictly correct- I talk about dreams and he talks about bucket lists. When it comes to goals, once he decides something is out of the bucket list, it becomes a goal and he...

 OK, what I’m about to say may come as a surprise to you… Ready? Are you really sure that you’re ready? Aries likes to be first. There, I said it. The astrological bombshell of the day. Aries likes to be out in front. This is fine if you have the Sun or Ascendant in Aries, you will (most probably) admit readily that you love competition, challenge and results. In your heart...

We are living in extraordinary times, when we have amplified access to our power and potential. Prosperity is at our fingertips with Jupiter in Taurus in this year of the Mayan prophecy, but we must free our ingenuity to access abundance. Even though Jupiter leaves Taurus on June 11, the positive aspects will linger because of the connection with powerhouse Pluto. Anything that we launch now will...

 Aries is perpetual motion. Ruled by Mars, his whole being is about the direction of energy…outwards. In clear, direct lines. Having said that, if you live with one or work with one, you may actually wonder in which direction Aries is intending to go. Often Aries is like the giddy schoolboy whirling round around round to see how much dust can get thrown up, or running around in...

Watch me pull a rabbit out of a hat... Again? That trick never works...Nothing up my sleeve....presto! I originally posted this to this site last year, but given I have very little new to say on the subject of Aries Bosses, have re-worked it only slightly... There are those that quite unkindly express the opinion that the Aries boss is like a seagull- flies in, makes a lot of noise and a lot of...

One thing Aries doesn't do, is reincent the wheel- not unless it will come with some super cool new accessories and more power and grunt under the hood. So, here is one I prepared earlier... You clicked onto this blog today to read about Aries in the workplace. This is probably because you are an Aries, in which case you want me to just cut to the important bits and tell the world (well, at least...

 Last year was busy. Amazingly busy. It was as if I was jumping (or falling) from one crisis to the next. Knowing that I was running a project that would end in my own redundancy also took an emotional toll. Whilst it didn’t show on the outside, I was a mass of uncertainty and fear. I knew that I had to keep going until the end, stay strong, and do everything I was being paid to do. I...

 Mercury has just turned retrograde in Aries. This means that for many of us crazy stuff starts to happen. Now, I know that any Change Manager covering all bases will have had the dates for this retrograde (and the others during 2012) already in their calendar, and I am sure that your scheduled change dates will be outside of the retrograde (and preferably also the shadow) period, but life...

Beside my desk I have an ideas board. On it I pin article ideas I want to pitch to editors, phrases or character traits which I want to use in my novel, travel story ideas and potential blog posts. I also have a series of photos for locations that I am using in my novel that help me picture the scenes I am writing. It’s all very organised, yet for the last month I have pitched exactly, wait...
