What is your star sign's element?
In astrology, the elements — Air, Water, Earth, and Fire signs — serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviours associated with the twelve star signs.
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
The Earth signs are grounded in the tangible and practical aspects of life, embodying the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. These signs are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world, often excelling in matters that require patience and persistence.
Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
The Air signs are characterised by their intellectual, communicative, and social nature. This reflects the light and dynamic essence of their elemental influence. Overall, these signs tend to excel in the realms of ideas, relationships, and innovation, bringing a breath of fresh air to their interactions and thought processes.
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
The Water element signs are profoundly impacted by their element. With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
Fuelled by the element of Fire, these fire signs in astrology are known for their passion, boldness, energy, enthusiasm, courage, and a zest for life that often leads them to adventurous and creative endeavours.

Don't call married couple 'husband and wife' in case it offends non-binary people, London council tells staff
Council staff have been advised not to describe married couples as 'husband and wife' - over fears it could offend people who do not identify with a gender. Instead, civil servants at the Royal Borough of Greenwich council in southeast London, have been told to use 'spouse' or 'partner'. They have also been asked to avoid saying 'ladies and gentleman' at public meetings and events, or requesting someone provide their 'Christian name', in an effort to be more inclusive. The woke guidelines are provided in a 45-page booklet obtained by The Sun following a freedom of information request. A foreword in the guide states: 'For some of us, communicating in a more inclusive way is about changing deeply embedded habits.' It adds: 'It's OK to make mistakes. Remember that if you are really sorry and apologise, you cannot keep making the same 'mistake'.' A spokesman for the council told The Times: 'Our inclusive language guide is advisory only, and was designed to encourage staff to reflect on the use of language in the workplace and how it might impact their colleagues. 'We are proud to have a very diverse workforce at Royal Borough of Greenwich, and are committed to making sure that everyone working here feels considered and included. The woke guidelines are provided in a 45-page booklet for employees at the London council 'Feedback we have received suggests the advice in the guide has been very well-received across the organisation.' Earlier this month, Merton Council in south London sent a 27-page inclusive language document round to employees encouraging them to change the words they use in the workplace. The guide, also obtained by The Sun, tells workers to stop using the words 'young', 'old' or 'mature' to describe people, in a clampdown on ageism. Terms such as 'mum and dad' and 'mother and father' are also a no-no and should be swapped out for 'caregivers', according to the document. The Labour-run council says it aims to reduce the chances of staff making assumptions about a child's biological parents. The change in terminology is supposed to 'recognise diverse family formation'. In further semantic reforms, employees will be told to use 'person-centred language' instead of gendered terms, including 'man the desk'. The council's equality and diversity team also said: 'Avoid making assumptions about preferred names or nicknames without asking the individual first.' Hannah Doody, chief executive of Merton Council, said however that the guide was more about 'tips and suggestions' rather than 'banning' the use of certain words. She said: 'I want to be really clear: the council has not banned the use of the term "mum and dad". 'The council produced a guide for staff which contains tips and suggestions on how to communicate with understanding and without making assumptions. These are not policies or instructions. 'We regularly review all our guides and policies, and intend to review this guide to ensure it cannot be further misunderstood or misrepresented.' Wokingham Council in Berkshire also came under the spotlight earlier this year after it advised staff not to use the term 'hard-working families' out of fear it could offend the jobless and make them feel 'undeserving'. Wokingham Council in Berkshire issued the advice in its new inclusive language guide. Terms like 'blacklist' and 'whitewash' were among others outlawed as they could be considered 'racist' while staff were warned 'sustained eye contact could be considered aggressive' in some cultures.

Wakefield museum tour guides' pay demands 'unaffordable'
The National Coal Mining Museum has confirmed that 40 members of staff will strike due to ongoing disputes over workers, who are mostly guides leading underground tours at the site in Wakefield, will walk out from Wednesday until 14 September, with further action planned if an agreement is not union, Unison, said museum managers proposed an uplift of 80p an hour or 5% for all workers, whichever would be the greater, but this was an "inferior offer".A spokesperson for the museum said it was "saddened" by its pay offer being rejected by the union, adding the industrial action meant its underground tours would not run during this time. The spokesperson said that during the strike period, "the museum will remain open and continue to share the important history of coal mining with our visitors".It added: "The majority of our workforce of over 100 people are not in Unison and do not support the industrial action. "It is largely made up of the museum guides who deliver our underground tours. Only 28 Unison members out of the 39 who voted in the original ballot, did so in favour of industrial action."After further negotiations and serious consideration, mindful of the wellbeing of our wider workforce and our visitors, the museum proposed an increased offer to all staff of 80p per hour or 5%, whichever is the greater." 'Simply unaffordable' The spokesperson added their offer would have equated to a pay rise of more than 6% for many of its workers, but it was "rejected" by the union, who "refused to share our revised offer with their members to see if they wished to accept it".They went on to say that the museum also relied on external funding and donations and "continues to face considerable financial pressures"."As a charity, our trustees feel this offer is fair and the counter-claim by Unison, which equates to over 8%, for many, is simply unaffordable," the spokesperson said"It would jeopardise people's jobs across the organisation and threaten the long-term sustainability of the museum. That counter-claim was suggested by Unison as part of the negotiation process and was at no point agreed."It is our intention to keep an open dialogue with Unison, with the sincere hope that this offer along with the many additional benefits included will be accepted to benefit our staff as a whole." Unison previously said the pay offer should be 5% or £1 an hour more, whichever is union added that it met with museum managers through the arbitration service Acas on Friday with the hopes that a revised figure could be agreed to put to staff as this would have suspended the Hooley, Unison Yorkshire and Humberside regional organiser, said the offer from the museum showed "how little managers value staff"."If museum managers actually care about their staff, they'll improve the offer. Unison is happy to meet right away to resolve this. That would allow families to enjoy the museum and its facilities throughout the summer holidays. "But until they are willing to do so, staff have no option but to strike." Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
