Let's Get Astro-Logical
I share my star sign with both Charles Manson and Hilary Clinton, what on earth does that say about me? I’m a Scorpio, of course, which means I am stubborn, deeply emotional (under the surface) and passionate. I can nurse a grudge for decades, I am secretive and hard to get to know, I am intense. I am a water sign which makes sense; I can spend hours in the bath and the sea air calms me. I am assertive and likely to be a leader in my field- wait a second… We’ve hit a dead end here. My own mother emails me links to courses with titles like “How to be more assertive” and in all my years on this planet, I have never been “manager material”. I thought this stuff was supposed to be accurate?

Why You Don't Complete Me
It’s that time of year again- every box of chocolates is decked out in pink and red, stuffed bears are suddenly popular again with those over the age of ten and greetings card companies are doodling little hearts across their profit forecasts. I am, of course, talking about Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not immune to a little romance and I genuinely enjoy buying gifts- cough, support small businesses, cough, but there is a phrase that has been popping up on sparkly cards and trinkets for years now that never fails to set my teeth on edge.
