Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox are astrologers and authors of the book Sextrology: The Astrology of Sex and the Sexes (HarperCollins, 2004). The basis of their astrological philosophy is that men and women of the same astrological sign will in fact have vastly different traits, thus making the zodiac a twenty-four sign system. Stella (a Capricorn) and Quinn (a Libra) are a married couple who live and work in Provincetown, MA, London and New York City. As well as consulting privately, they perform a live stage act and have an astrology-centered fine jewelry collection called AsterCast.
In their book Sextrology: Astrology of Sex and the Sexes (HarperCollins 2004), Starsky and Cox explore both the female and male aspects of each astrological
sign, devoting twenty-four chapters to examining the “Sign and Mind”, “Body and Soul” and “Sex and Sexuality” of each sign.

The Elder Council is the central government of the fictional Empire of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls series of computer games.
Summary
The Tamrielic government is an unicameral and unelected body. Though the nature of its composition is not detailed specifically, it likely comprises the Counts of Cyrodiil and the aristocracy from the other Imperial provinces, as well as appointments made by the head of state, the Emperor of Tamriel. It is however specified that the body can legislate. The exact process of legislation within the Council itself is unclear - though it is clear that Emperors have possessed the power of veto since Uriel Septim VI's reign in the early 4th century of the Third Era. In some regards it is comparable to the British House of Lords. The leader at the end of the Third Era was High Chancellor Ocato, an Altmer who is said to have been virtually running the Empire for 15 years prior to Emperor Uriel Septim VII's murder in 3E 433.
Headquarters
The Council convenes at its chambers in the centre of the Imperial Palace complex in the Imperial City. The Council chamber comprises a large circular table encircled by tall chairs. The table is in the exact centre of a dome shaped room possessive of an extremely high ceiling. The palace is built around the ancient Ayleid White Gold Tower stretching hundreds of feet into the air, which at least partially accounts for the design of the Council chamber.
