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.

Nick Kent obituary
My friend and former colleague, Nick Kent, who has died aged 72, was a journalist on the Daily Mirror; he later moved into book publishing. With several others he and I launched the fortnightly Greyound Star newspaper in 1984 while we were both still at the Mirror, and by 1988 we had switched to working on it full-time. Soon afterwards the two of us sold our shares in the business to concentrate on another venture, Ringpress, which published books about every kind of pet, from goldfish to parrots. Along with a third director, Julia Barnes, we sold Ringpress in 2002 and Nick decided to retire. Nick was born in Southend, Essex (a circumstance that gave him a lifelong enthusiasm for jellied eels), to Frederick, a civil servant, and Emily (nee Ficken), a seamstress. After the early death of his father, he and his brother, Michael, moved with their mother to the village of Little Cornard, near Sudbury, in Suffolk, where he grew up. He began his journalistic career while at Sudbury grammar school, writing a fishing column for the local paper. Later at Nottingham University he edited the student newspaper and, after gaining a degree in English and American studies he joined the Mirror Group graduate training scheme in 1974. Working on provincial newspapers in the west of England for two years, he switched to London with the weekly tabloid newspaper Reveille in 1976 and then, in 1979, the Daily Mirror as a features subeditor. By 1984 he had become one of the youngest chief subeditors in the Daily Mirror's history, on the features desk; I was chief news subeditor on the paper at the same time. He also talked his way into being the Mirror's first wine correspondent, once saying of an offering from the Co-op that 'this wine is best drunk on its own, like your correspondent'. After eventually selling Ringpress, Nick set up home in Cannes, in the south of France, with his first wife, the novelist Deanna Maclaren, whom he had married in 1987. There he discovered a passion for long-distance walking in the mountains above the Côte d'Azur and Liguria. He was also a volunteer driver, enabling people with disabilities to experience the joys of the great outdoors. In 2014 he returned to London and set aside retirement to become managing director of the ailing Peter Owen Publishing, one of the oldest independent producers of fiction. While unable to restore the business to past glories, he kept it afloat until its sale in 2022, when he entered into his second retirement, in Saxmundham, Suffolk. Though living with serious depression for much of his life, Nick had a remarkable ability to embrace new opportunities and interests. He had a passion for golf, wine and enjoying himself. After a divorce from Deanna in 2017, the following year Nick married Antonia Owen, whose father had set up Peter Owen Publishing. She survives him.

Why have I been hoarding 39,674 emails?
Our worst water-wasting habit might not even feel slightly damp: we're now being told to save water by clearing out our inboxes. 'Deleting emails, unbelievably, makes a difference to the amount of water the country uses,' Helen Wakeham, the Environment Agency director of water, told the World at One last week. Hoarding decades' worth of 'Your Amazon order is out for delivery' notifications in datacentres consumes not just energy but water for cooling, and tech companies are building those datacentres in some of the most water-scarce places in the world. Wakeham called an email cull 'something really tangible people might not think of that can make a difference', and I do want to make a difference. I don't use water-gobbling ChatGPT, I comply with the hosepipe ban (albeit swearing at Yorkshire Water as I slop washing-up water into my shoes transporting it to my dying plants) and my showers are so short they're basically pointless. So I checked my inbox: 39,674 emails dating back to 2009. Ugh. And what emails! I sampled a random month in 2017 and it was mostly ads (for everything from Pokémon cards to a Thai cafe where I once used the wifi), plus low battery alerts for my long-defunct FitBit, updates on a rat I sponsored (also, surely, long-defunct), PTA round robins and a rudely rejected pitch. Why did I keep them? Why do any of us? Inertia, and overwhelm; irrational anxiety we might need some of it 'someday'; a misplaced belief there's gold in them thar folders (a gif of a leopard trying Marmite I once sent myself admittedly sounded golden, but the link was dead). Maybe – and I'm mostly trying to convince myself here – we could cast off this thirsty digital comfort blanket. Will HMRC ever demand proof I went to Peterborough in 2011? Could I find that cookie recipe another way (say, ooh, by Googling it)? Is a forensically detailed discussion of Gap boyfriend chinos really vital material for my memoirs? Join me, and let's free ourselves of decades of digital dross. We have nothing to lose but a complete record of every pizza we ordered 2012-2025. Emma Beddington is a Guardian columnist

Nuneaton's Ensor's Pool drowning prompts councillor's plea
A councillor has pleaded with people to avoid putting themselves at risk by swimming at a popular beauty Brady Hughes' plea comes after a 27-year-old man drowned when he got into difficulty while swimming in Ensor's Pool in Nuneaton, on said Nuneaton and Bedworth Council wanted people to use open spaces like this, but avoid putting themselves or others in danger. She said: "We can only keep on pleading with people to try and stay out of the water."Although the lake may appear "nice and clear" and people might be tempted to cool off in the water, the former clay pit was "absolutely dangerous", she explained. "Don't put yourself at risk, is the main message, because it won't just be yourselves you are putting in danger, emergency services are putting their lives on the line," Hughes, Labour councillor for Arbury, said the body of water claimed another life about 10 years ago and this latest death meant more safety awareness was needed."We have to keep on reiterating it isn't safe, it is a former clay pit and the bed is very muddy which can cause people to get stuck." Dog walkers and nature lovers alike are being warned not only of the safety hazard the water poses but also the impact littering is having on the area."We want to try and keep this area lovely for everybody, but people are leaving behind remnants of picnics, barbecues, dinghies, tents."I have seen dog walkers down here throwing toys into the water for their dogs. "If their dogs got into trouble, a natural instinct would be to go in after and help them but that could also end in a tragedy," Hughes pool, in the south-west area of the town, is a former clay pit that served a nearby colliery and brick works, which has since been designated as a site of special scientific interest."The council are continually putting out communications - it's also well signed that people should not go in the water," she added.
