What in the name of the goddess are you supposed to do when you've got a job interview, a party to throw, a cow to wrangle...? Here are some five-star solutions to your problems–

Q. I've just applied for a fantastic job as
PA to a television producer at an up-and-coming company in Sydney. The company is well-known for producing offbeat programmes, but I have no idea if my approach should be serious and professional, or original and wild. And what should I wear? Help! STRESSED CAPRICORN

A. Dear Stressed Capricorn, you need to summon up the help of the goddess Athena in this situation. Athena is out there, the centre of activity, helping and organising. She is intelligent and self-confident, willing to put herself on the line for her beliefs and opinions - which sounds like your company! She is professional, worldly, transforming, a reformer, a social organiser and above all, courageous. Her crystal is aquamarine, her colour is blue, her flowers and plants are thyme, laurel, and olives. Her symbols are the shield, Pegasus, the sword, the snake, spiders, serpents, ravens and owls. (But we recommend you don't put a serpent in your handbag for the job interview.) Her oils are bergamot, black pepper, ginger, lime, thyme, sage, peppermint - and her planet is Mercury. Incorporate some of these elements into your interview and make a silent plea to Athena for help before you enter the room. But for true preparation, turn to page 33 of the book and create your personal goddess ritual, some days before. That way you'll be primed and ready to go!

Q. I have a big 21st birthday party coming up and I'm so nervous about it. What can I do?
SOCIALLY SHY SIMONA

A. Dear Socially Shy Simona, you need Hera in your life. This goddess is good at creating a fabulous environment for her guests, her social skills are brilliant, and she has her party etiquette down pat. Try to include the colour royal blue, the tiger lily plant, the crown symbol, and the scent of sandalwood in your outfit, and your decorations - and best of all, create a full-blown ritual to Hera, using the advice on page 33 of 21st Century Goddess.
