So Miss 14 was telling me about yet another schoolyard drama. Jane, the resident princess, was having (another) argument with Mary, who also had princess tendencies. Miss 14, who has way too much Aries energy and an Aquarius Venus to be a princess was, with the rest of her group, caught in the middle. Girls, I said, shaking my head. I know, she said, shaking hers. So what did you do? I asked....

 Lately I’ve been feeling a little blocked. As if things have stagnated, as if all of my potential has been so much inwards that I no longer know how to manifest it outwards. I’ve been feeling as if I no longer have my hands on the wheel. Anyone else like that? Over the last few days it’s felt almost like a physical pain- and that’s not just because I “ran”...

I was retrenched at Christmas last year. Because the MotherShip closed down the company I worked for, a number of us were retrenched. It was done with plenty of communication, lots of warning, and all of us were left with integrity intact. We all had our choices and those choices were respected. One of my ex colleagues, a guy who had helped me through some pretty tough projects in Brisbane last...

 We all know about the flamboyance and generous drama of the Leo Sun. But what about when Leo is on your Midheaven, the career part of your chart? A Leo Midheaven would usually mean that you have a Scorpio Ascendant, and flamboyance is not normally a word we associate with Scorpio- and I mean that in the nicest possible way. When you have Leo on the cusp of the 10th house, the Sun rules your...

Help, I’m starting a new job and when I finished my interview someone brought a birthday cake in for the man who would be my boss. That means that he’s a Leo, doesn’t it? What should I know about him? Firstly, congratulations on your new job. Secondly, the Lion can be a great boss, all you need to know are a few tips. The Lion can roar when he needs to, but the one thing Leo Boss...

Does going to work sometimes feel like a prison sentence? There are things you can inject into your workday to make it far more appealing. Some Sun signs find that a sense of adventure in their work makes it that much more bearable, while others gain more satisfaction when there's a sense of vision in their daily tasks. Sagittarius and Pisces are the visionaries of the zodiac, since they share...

 I’m a writer. Writing is a creative activity. I play with it, I give birth to new projects, I take risks on it. This makes it a 5th house activity. I use it to express myself. I’m proud of my work, and I want recognition for my work. This makes it a solar or Leo activity. My hopes and dreams are tied up in it. It’s also a solitary activity- it comes from within me…it...

 So, I’m having coffee with a Scorpio friend. He’s been on a bit of a recruitment drive lately and is determined to build the perfect team. He wants the right people on the front counter, the right people behind the counter and the right people leading the team. But he’s a Scorpio Boss so he also wants some control over the situation as well. Well durrrrrr. ‘So,’...

 When we talk about the career houses in the birth chart, we are mostly referring to the 10th house, or the Midheaven. The planet ruling this house is the one that is your personal career planet. The sign on the cusp of the 10th tells us a lot about your career, the type of boss you respond well to, the types of conditions you like in the workplace and, to a certain extend, what you like to...

 Since I no longer go and work in a partition every day, I’m reinventing myself as a writer. Aside from pitching for articles (and a couple of other projects), I’m also writing two books- a chick lit manuscript and an Astro book. I’m a new writer, and have no contacts in the publishing industry so have no advances. In other words, I am writing in a sort of “build it...
