If you have the Sun in Scorpio, some time over the next 2.5 years you will receive a transit to the Sun from Saturn. Saturn transits can be hard- they always involve getting real about something- and getting real about stuff is hard. But what if I were to say that in many ways Saturn transits, especially when it comes to the conjunction with the Sun, can be lucky? Lucille Ball said, "Luck? I...

 I’ve just started a new job. Take a year off and finish painting the house…and the back fence Take a year off and get the garden right Take a year off and get super fit Take a year off and recover from the stress of the last job Take a year off and learn how to sleep again So I lasted nearly a year. I still haven't finished painting the house (or the beack fence), my garden...

  I'm asked a lot about talent. Who has it, who doesn’t, how to get it, how to use it, how to identify it in the birth chart. The position of the Sun will always show us where our talents lie, but it’s not that simple. The possession of “talent” isn’t necessarily a guarantee of “success”. So, when it comes to talent in the birth chart, is it a case of...

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...
