It’s in the stars
I was watching the match last night and found it rather amusing. The French coach, Raymond Domenech, has a very unusual approach to team selection….he likes to take a players star sign into consideration before making his decision. He apparently doesn’t trust players who are
Scorpios and thinks that defenders who are Leo’s are show-offs and has been quoted saying “When I have a Leo in defence I’ve always
got my gun ready as I know he’s going to want to show off at one moment or another and cost us”.
Can this theory be applied to the media industry? What star sign do you have to be in order to go far in media? I’ve conducted a quick review
of all 31 BJK&E employees and noted the following:
We have a fairly even spread across the 12 star signs although interestingly 26% of us are Geminis. Now, the purpose of Gemini is to be
one who gathers and conveys information - a good trait within our industry, one could say! It also states that Gemini is an air sign, and as such
puts great value on the mind and its thinking function, to the extent that emotional experiences may be regarded as complications that are
best avoided. Psychologically, air is attracted to water, but air finds the emotions difficult to deal with as they don’t fit in with its concept of an
ideal world. Hmm, they may need some more emotionally-led team members in order to create the rounded media strategy??
In an industry that is based on numbers and spreadsheets, is it any wonder that there are no Pisces at BJK&E. Pisces have vivid
imaginations and will often think they are being followed. They have some influence over their friends and people resent them for flaunting
their power. Underneath it all they lack confidence and are generally thought to be cowardly.
Fortunately, only 2 people in BJK&E are Scorpio. This is the star sign that is said to be shrewd in business but cannot be trusted. They
will reach the pinnacle of success because of their total lack of ethics. Tut tut…..you Scorpios know who you are!
I, myself, am a Capricorn and am one of three in the company. We have a need to conserve…the survival of the clan. Our sign
denotes time, age, strength through patience. Ah yes, clearly the best!!!

Ooh.. that’s a bit worrying. Last time I checked I was a Pisces. Should I expect my P45 in the next few days ? In fact, looking at the description of me I am slightly worried about posting this….. eeek… who said that… ??? Christ, just found out it was my boss who posted this…. Fight or flight… ? Think I’m going for a fag.

Go Clanswoman! Would that also explain why around one-quarter of us appear to display bi-polar characteristics?

I’m with Richard Dawkins on this one…

Do you think it is wise to anger the Scorpions???

As a Gemini I’m supposed to be rational rather than emotional. So if I say that it makes me cry to see people take something as irrational as star signs seriously, does that mean they are true or false?
