 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...

One of the rarer animals in the corporate kingdom, Pisces Boss (sub species dreamus escapus) is more likely to be found self employed or freelancing in some creative field, but when you do find them in the mainstream... A Pisces colleague (and people manager) asked me the other week whether we Pisceans make good Managers. He seemed a little disappointed when I (honestly) told him that we...

 Disclaimer: My chart has a first house packed with Pisces planets, so I need to declare a potential conflict of interest. Also, if my previous boss (or potential future editors) is reading this- none of what I have written in here applies to me... truly... I wouldn’t want to give away all of my secrets- a girl, particularly a Pisces girl, needs to preserve some of her mystery…...

 I am an avid reader- I always have been. I am the oldest child in a family with 4 kids. Personal space and privacy didn’t exist and Pisces, as you probably know, needs at least a little of both- we are like a porous membrane and absorb all emotions around us. The result is usually a jangle of noise that can be extremely overwhelming. Books took me away to my own quiet space. It was...

 Neptune transits dissolve all the structures that Saturn sets up, depending on your relationship with Saturn, rather painfully in some cases. By melting away the patterns which have no spiritual relevance to us, we open ourselves up to the experience of inspiration, serenity and pure vision. Sound nice or just unrealistic and a hippie dippie dream? A Neptune transit is both. To work with...
