 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...

 Once upon a time Ms Gemini went to work at LargeCorp. Open-minded, social and totally charming she stimulated the whole office with her quick wit, sharp tongue and her life of the party attitude. Her boss loved her ability to quickly grasp concepts, manage crises and sell coal to Newcastle. In her head was every little piece of information she had ever learned- all tiny seemingly...

 Leadership comes in many shapes, sizes and star signs. Leo, Aries, Scorpio and Capricorn are often slated as the most obvious signs for leadership material (or those signs on the cusp of the 10th house). As I say, these are the ones most written about. But here’s the rub: ·      Not every Aries, Leo, Scorpio or Capricorn will be leadership material...

 I had an amazing idea the other day. Seriously, this is nothing like the idea I had for putting electronic drum kits into steering wheels, or singstar through Bluetooth so that I could belt Sydney peak hour traffic frustration out of the system. No, this is a much better idea than that one. It started from a throw away comment I overheard around the pool. I’ve been in Bali for the last...

 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...
