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.

I paid a hypnotist £950 to ‘cure' me of my addiction to bad boys – but still ran back to my red flag ex after a 2am text

Find out why she hasn't been in a proper relationship for ten years UNDER A SPELL I paid a hypnotist £950 to 'cure' me of my addiction to bad boys – but still ran back to my red flag ex after a 2am text Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DECADE ago, Jana Hocking hit rock bottom. She woke up with sickening shame at the memory of crying at her ex-boyfriend's front door, begging him to come out and talk to her. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Heartbroken and humiliated, Jana called her mother after her ex told her to 'f**k off' Credit: Instagram /@jana_hocking 2 In total, she forked out over £900 to 'cure' her addiction to bad boys Credit: INSTAGRAM/Jana Hocking They had just broken up - again. Their four-year relationship had been like watching soap opera - explosive arguments galore, passionate reconciliations, cheating, two stints in prison (him, not her), and several family-led interventions begging Jana to leave. But despite all the anger issues and insane jealousy, she loved him - madly. However, that night was different, the Daily Mail columnist recently revealed. Up until them, the couple's ''usual pattern was fight, sulk, then make-up sex''. read more on dating SWIPE RIGHT I'm the most liked man on Hinge but I've still not found The One But when she showed up to his house to repeat the same routine - one they had followed so many times - he didn't come to the door. Instead, she got a muffled ''f**k off'' through the glass, before his mate emerged to break the news that it was officially over. Heartbroken and humiliated, Jana called her mother, who came over and slept next to her, as she sobbed for hours on end. While she was relieved the relationship had come to an end, she was worried for her daughter. ''The next morning, she handed me a book on limerence (an unhealthy, involuntary obsession with another person) and gently suggested I see a therapist.'' She read the book and saw the therapist - but the pain didn't go away and she longed to see her ex-partner. I paid £20 for Tinder and can't stand little-known loophole desperate guys use So when a pal mentioned a hypnotist who had just moved into her office building, Jana didn't think twice. ''Surely this woman could rewire my brain to stop going for bad boys (spoiler alert: this wasn't my first rodeo) and finally make me fall for the elusive 'nice guy'?'' she wondered. 15 Relationship red flags to look out for Red flags are warning signs that indicate unhealthy or manipulative behaviour. When you encounter relationship red flags, it's a good time to pause and reflect on the dynamic you really share with that person. Overly controlling behaviour Lack of trust Feeling low self-esteem Physical, emotional, or mental abuse Substance abuse Narcissism Anger management issues Codependency Inability to resolve conflict Constant jealousy Gaslighting Lack of emotional intelligence Negatively affecting your relationship with family and friends Inability to communicate openly Lack of social connection or friends For more advice and support, Relate is available: "Whether it's your relationship with a partner, a child, a family member or anyone else - we help everyone to build better relationships." In total, the hypnotist reckoned Jana would need four sessions minimum, each one setting her back almost £240. She was a broke junior producer living off instant noodles, but she was desperate. Jana raided her savings and paid the hefty £950 upfront. For the next month, she 'put Jana under' once a week, and dug through childhood memories, whilst reframing thought patterns, and implanting healthy boundaries in her brain. But there was a plot twist - the hypnotist set the boundaries so high, that it's now been a decade since Jana has had ''a proper boyfriend''. Before this, she might have overlooked a few red flags. Now, one tiny whiff of toxic traits is enough for Jana to run away as fast as she can. ''I've become maddeningly picky. My mother calls it 'too picky'. I call it finally having standards.'' Sadly, the hypnotist didn't cure Jana of her attraction to bad boys - but while they still get her going, the singleton no longer dates them. 'You up?' Fast-forward to six months after the brutal break-up, Jana received an unexpected text from her ex-boyfriend at 2am. ''You up?'' read the text to which Jana tried her hardest to ignore. ''Did the hypnotist fix you yet? Nice guys are fun lol,'' he messaged almost 15 minutes later. ''Come over. I'll behave if you do.'' Like a moth to a flame, Jana booked an Uber and drove straight to his house for one last hurrah. But when the red flag ex suggested getting back together the following morning, Jana didn't feel anything - ''just closure''. While the hypnotist may not have stopped the singleton from hopping into bed with her ''bad boy ex'' she did at least stop her from committing to men like him. However, there's a small problem - she may have accidentally stopped her dating full-stop. More therapy, soul-searching and even a psychic or two - Jana has since tried everything. But a decade later, it feels like her ''forever man'' is not coming after all. ''It turns out there are no quick fixes for heartbreak. No magic wands. ''Just hard lessons, a lot of unsexy self-work, and hopefully one day… a nice guy who still manages to make me feel just the right kind of dangerous.''

What's REALLY ‘cool'? Key 6 traits revealed by study – and the definition is universal

And how 'good' is not the same as 'cool' COOLNESS CRACKED What's REALLY 'cool'? Key 6 traits revealed by study – and the definition is universal Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHETHER it's James Bond, Maverick, Billie Eilish or Dolly Parton - we all have a celebrity we admire and some are more popular than others. Usually if we admire or like someone, we also think of them as 'cool'. And there's no doubt it's one of the best personality compliments you can get. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 James Bond, played by Daniel Craig, fits all the characteristics of 'cool', defined by people around the globe - though perhaps not 'open' Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Even if it's hard to put your finger on why someone is 'cool', science has attempted to do so. Researchers asked thousands of people across the globe what it means to be cool. And it turns out, the feeling is universal - most people agree, regardless of their culture. Asking 6,000 people from countries around the world, scientists found people in at least a dozen countries agreed on the definition. The study included people from the US, Australia, Chile, China, Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Spain, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. The participants were asked to think of someone who they thought was cool, not cool, good or not good. They then rated the person's personality and values. The researchers used the data to explore how cool people differ from uncool people and good people. Cool people were perceived to be more: Extraverted Hedonistic Powerful Adventurous Open Autonomous. There were some crossovers with what was deemed a 'good' person. Mathematical beauty: Top 10 celebrities rated perfect by science Co-lead researcher Dr Caleb Warren, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Arizona, said: 'To be seen as cool, someone usually needs to be somewhat likable or admirable, which makes them similar to good people. 'However, cool people often have other traits that aren't necessarily considered 'good' in a moral sense, like being hedonistic and powerful.' Good people were perceived as more conforming, traditional, secure, warm, agreeable, universalistic, conscientious and calm. Marvel's Captain America, for example, or even Harry Potter, may be seen as 'good' over 'cool'. Co-lead researcher Dr Todd Pezzuti, an associate professor of marketing at the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Chile, said: 'Everyone wants to be cool, or at least avoid the stigma of being uncool, and society needs cool people because they challenge norms, inspire change, and advance culture. 'The concept of coolness started in small, rebellious sub-cultures, including Black jazz musicians in the 1940s and the beatniks in the 1950s. "As society moves faster and puts more value on creativity and change, cool people are more essential than ever.' Only participants who were familiar with the slang meaning of the word 'cool' were included in the study, published by the American Psychological Association.

M&S' new £3.80 picnic snack is even better than their £5.50 cult buy & here's more picky bits we guarantee will be a hit

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH summer in full swing and the weather heating up, there's no better time to stock up on picky bits. And luckily for foodies, M&S have really come through with a new selection of snacks that are perfect for warm days. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 With picnic season finally here, if you're searching for snacks that are mouth-wateringly good, you've come to the right place Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 Here, Abby Wilson shares her honest thoughts on the new M&S picky bits Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 You won't want to miss these new £3.50 dips Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 There's one flavour of crisps that's a 10/10, but another Abby would leave on the shelf Credit: Abigail Wilson So if you can't be bothered to cook dinner tonight and aren't sure what to buy that will leave you feeling satisfied, look no further. Not only has the new M&S Strawberry Sandwich proved a hit with many, but now, social media users are scrambling to get their hands on the brand-new viral crisps and dips which start at just £3. Following on from their previous viral dips, which included sell-out flavours - New York Deli Pastrami Dip, Chicken Caesar Dip and the Whipped Herby Greek Feta Dip - M&S have now added some new must-try versions to their fridges - and they are sure to get your mouth watering. Shoppers can now tuck into the Chicken Shawarma and Cheesy Ploughman's Dip, both of which are advertised as perfect for 'park days, picky teas and picnic vibes.' Here, Fabulous' Senior Writer Abby Wilson, a self-proclaimed M&S superfan, managed to fill her basket not only with the new delicious dips, but also a selection of other unmissable savoury winners. So if you can't decide which buys you should nab or leave on the shelf, you'll need to listen up, as this foodie shares her honest thoughts… M&S not only sell over 70million pots of nibbles and dips every year, but have since received the title of "the undisputed home of picky bits" and I can certainly see why. Calling all dip lovers - if you can't get enough of crisps and dips and are on the hunt for a new snack that's bound to go down a treat this summer, M&S have got you covered. I have one very simple word to describe the two new loaded dips - unreal. The Topped Chicken Shawarma Dip is spiced, creamy and succulent, while the Topped Ploughman's Dip is a yummy statement on a British favourite. I'm a die-hard Aldi shopper but I trialled M&S for a week, I was so surprised, I'll definitely be back Both of which are £3.50 and are certainly worth the cash - you can expect unique and unmissable flavours in dips you've never seen before on the high street. While the Chicken Shawarma dip contains marinated pulled chicken and tangy pickled red onions, the Ploughman's buy is full of chutney, tender pulled ham hock and crunchy silverskin onions. Not only are they great with crisps, but they're so good they could even work as a sandwich filler too. And it's not just loaded dips that M&S have nailed this season - there's also a collection of other dips that are spot on too. The new M&S buys you won't want to miss HERE, Abby Wilson shares her favourite M&S buys from their latest range of picky bits... Topped Chicken Shawarma Dip - £3.50 Topped Ploughman's Dip - £3.50 Labneh Dip - £3 Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip - £3.50 Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Black Truffle - £3.75 Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls - £3.80 Dressed Giant Butterbeans - £3.90 The Extra Smooth Houmous is just £3 and is one of the nicest I've tried - it's simple but packed with flavour and very smooth. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern-inspired Labneh Dip has a vibrant basil and mint dressing and is crafted with creamy strained yoghurt. It's brilliant with breadsticks and is almost too good - so if you're trying to watch your waistline, buy it at your own risk. Another dip that gets a solid thumbs up from me is the Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip. It's quite similar to M&S' other new dip - the Roasted Red Pepper and Aubergine Dip (both of which are £3.50 each) - but the walnut version takes the top spot thanks to its rich, nutty flavour. I have one very simple word to describe the two new loaded dips - unreal Abby Wilson And if you want crunchy crisps that not only scream luxury but will pair perfectly with these dips, M&S have got you sorted. While I wasn't a fan of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Serrano Ham, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Black Truffle are delicious. They have a strong taste of truffle but are not too overpowering, and get a solid 10/10 rating from me. The crisps are also available in Mediterranean Sea Salt, which have a pretty average taste but I believe will be a crowd-pleaser. The crisps are all £3.75 a bag, so they're certainly not cheap, but they're said to contain 'exceptional-quality potatoes', which ensure delicate, golden crisps, that are great for dipping (or dunking in my case.) The nation's most peculiar food combinations revealed Brits reveal unusual food combinations that are so wrong, they feel right Research by LNER claims that a whopping four in five Brits experiment with unusual flavours, and almost a quarter have a 'guilty pleasure' when it comes to unconventional food combinations, Crisps and chocolate Cheese and chocolate Crisps in jam sandwich Chips and milkshake Cheese and bananas Apples with salt and pepper Avocado and chocolate Popcorn and hot sauce Tuna and marmite Gherkins and peanut butter Next up in the chain's new summer snack selection are the Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls. I was so surprised by these - I'm not a fan of Marmite, but these are truly phenomenal. The cheesy flavour is out of this world and the sausage isn't gristly like many supermarket sausage rolls often can be. They're so good I scoffed one in a matter of seconds, but could easily eat the whole pack in just a few minutes - and at £3.80, while they're not that purse-friendly, they're certainly worth every penny. As well as tasting divine, if you ask me they're actually better than the cult favourite 'Best Ever Sausage Roll', which is also from M&S and sets shoppers back an eye-watering £5.50. The Dressed Giant Butterbeans is a random idea but it definitely works Abby Wilson But the M&S deluxe picky bits don't stop there - shoppers can also nab the new M&S Grilled Turkish Green Olives and the Spanish Mini Fuet (a type of pork sausage) and Cheese. They're tasty but both pretty basic and I'm not totally convinced I can say they're worth £4 and £3.90 each. Meanwhile, the Dressed Giant Butterbeans is a random idea but it definitely works. If you hate parmesan and can't stand garlic then these aren't for you, but if you want something that's rich and perfect paired on a platter with pork pies and cold cuts of meat, this £3.90 should go straight in your basket. But you'll need to move fast if you want to stock up on these picky bits, as like all M&S finds, once they go viral on TikTok, they're sure to sell out quickly.
