Half, and Half
Many a pop-starlet was born under the sign of Sagittarius, and though this vocation could not be farther from my life path to date, it is one of the main reasons I have always identified with my sun sign. To be a Sagittarius is to be a performer, whether on the stage of your bedroom floor, or in London’s O2 stadium. Sagittarius has a voice; our challenge is to learn how to use it.

Cancer-Leo Cusp Star Sign
July 25 is my birthday and my zodiac is known as the Cancer-Leo Astrological Cusp which is referred to as the Cusp of oscillation, and is where the Moon and the Sun play a supervisory role. The Moon is in charge of my Cancer personality, while the Sun represents my Leo side.

An Invisible Illness
Epilepsy is brutal in its own way. It’s invisible, for a start. Secondly, it’s physically overwhelming and beyond my control. Sometimes I put myself in risky situations, like getting too hot in the sun or not sleeping (or even being in a situation that unexpectedly has flashing lights when I didn’t expect them), but sometimes it comes from nowhere. You can feel fine one moment, walking carelessly with your friends, and the next second you’re waking up in A&E without the foggiest knowledge of who you are.

Pig in the Onion Patch
Pig is the last of the twelve Chinese zodiacs, coming in a self-contented and decided last. Pig barely even bothered to run the race held by the Jade Emperor in the beginning of time, so losing was an unexpected bonus. Whoops- I’ve told the story backwards again. Yet again, I began the tale of the Jade Emperor’s race to determine who would protect the year with my zodiac’s appearance- insolent, long awaited and shuffled in long after the Emperor has grown sick of waiting. That was then; it’s also now. Pig swaggers back to a divine footrace with a full stomach and a days’ worth of stories. Pig’s arrival begins a cycle, a mood- a vibe, one might say- lasting aeons. Nowadays pig ambles in to the meeting an hour late, split hoof carrying an iced coffee. A pastry crinkles at the end of the other hoof. Pig makes no excuse for living well.

The Unknown Zodiac: Your REAL Star Sign Meanings
Have you ever looked up the definition of your Zodiac sign and thought ‘well that doesn’t sound very much like me...’? Because saaaaaaaame. I’m an Aries girl and I’ve always felt that I didn’t fit the description: a bold, self-confident leader. I mean, I CAN be all of those things but it’s not quite the right fit, I certainly wouldn't use these words to describe my character.

The Art of Slowing Down
This lesson from the mat was brought to you by a combination of Egyptian Yoga and Yin Yoga, which is slow, spending time in each posture, just listening. If you already do yoga then you most likely understand what this can be like, but if you are not a yoga practitioner there are different reasons to do yoga. I’m doing yoga to build strength, some do yoga for the inner work, some do yoga for flexibility some of them do it just to free up some space inside of them.

How Quitting Caffeine Changed My Life
I never thought I’d be writing an article with this title. That’s because coffee has been my beloved a.m. companion for the past 15 years. “Wake up and smell the coffee” wasn’t just an idiom for me, but the foundation of my whole morning routine.
