WHEN IS INTERNATIONAL ASTROLOGY DAY?

WHERE DOES THE ZODIAC COME FROM?
The Zodiac is the term used to describe the circle of 12 divisions of celestial longitude that are centred upon the path of the sun.
The 12 divisions share the names we know as our star signs.
The term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus – meaning “circle of animals”.
Throughout history, the zodiac has been used to predict or echo characteristics of personality.

WANT TO BECOME A HOROSCOPE READER?
Firstly, you need to get to grips with the basics, by reading books, reading horoscope charts and practising interpretations.
The best next step is to get certified from a reputable school that teaches astrology.
Then, you should determine where you’d like your career to go, be it doing individual horoscope readings, for corporate events, online or for magazines or newspapers – to name a few.
It could be a good idea when you start out to intern or get an apprenticeship with a professional astrologer, who will be able to give you valuable guidance.
Once you have a solid foundation to your knowledge, you can start forging a business out of astrology, should you wish.

WOULD YOU MAKE FINANCIAL DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR HOROSCOPE?
More than half of Brits admit to turning to their horoscopes before making important financial decisions and life choices based on ‘advice’ associated with the zodiac sign.
Astrologer, Francesca Oddie, said: “People really identify with their star sign and consider astrology a reliable tool for guidance.
“When it comes to our finances, our horoscope can help us to understand characteristic traits that are reflected in our money management style.”
In a poll of 2,000 adults, 48 per cent said they are influenced by their star sign’s predictions, with one in three adults using the advice from their sign to make life decisions.
The research, commissioned by Barclays, found that Aquarius is the most financially confident star sign – with 42 per cent feeling happy with their money managing skills, compared to just 25 per cent of Libras.
Meanwhile, Virgos are most likely to meet the financial goals they set for themselves and Sagittarians feel most out of touch with their finances as they avoid looking at them.

WHAT IS NUMEROLOGY?
Similar to astrology, numerology is the belief that the day you were born contributes to your personality.
The concept gives everyone a “life-path” number that helps to tell you the truth about your personality, your outlook on life and any obstacles you’ll be forced to face.
Different numbers are associated with different things, with the most powerful numbers believed to be numbers that are paired with the same number.
For example 11, 22, and 33 are considered “master numbers: and have the “highest potential for success”.
The number 9, meanwhile, is believed to be the strongest number and its traits include wisdom and enlightenment.

HOW KATE AND WILL’S HOROSCOPES SHOW THEIR LOVE IS STRONGER THAN EVER
Kate (Capricorn) and William (Cancer) are a perfect astrological match as they are opposite signs.
According to tarot queen Kerry King this dynamic mix helps the pair fit together perfectly. It’s written in the stars!
“Cancer and Capricorn ignite powerful, opposites attract chemistry, which has both drawn them together and kept things alive and interesting for all these years,” says Kerry.
“William is intuitive, emotional, home-loving and sensitive while Kate is practical, stoic, ambitious and determined.
“Together they bring what the other lacks to the relationship and together they are stronger than either would be alone. A true power couple.”

WHY MORE MILLENIALS ARE RELYING ON HOROSCOPES
Astrology has been around in various forms for thousands of years, but now horoscope meme machines are amassing more interest than ever.
Tarot queen Kerry King tells us: “For some years now, astrology has played the role of therapist, counsellor and decision making aide for millennials.
“Every generation tends to discover the stars at some point, but, for this generation, it is more than curiosity.
“Birth charts are analysed, events like Mercury Retrograde are planned around, dating apps using astrological matching are sought.
“In what is a very uncertain and volatile world, astrology offers structure and sense.”

WHAT IS IN STORE FOR KIM KARDASHIAN ACCORDING TO HER HOROSCOPE?
Kim's star sign is Libra, which means her strengths include fair-mindedness and diplomacy.
It's no wonder she's attracted to pursuing a career in law. But with so much on her plate, including a divorce from Gemini Kanye West, are her dreams truly within reach? What do the stars say?
According to StyleCaster, Libras around the middle of June are likely to experience a conflict of priorities, and a firm decision will have to be made.
Toward the end of the month, certain planetary movements mean that Libras will be able to find a greater sense of direction and purpose.
What this means for Kim is that big realisations will probably hit by the end of June, leading her to re-evaluate her priorities and make some tough choices.
She has been through some immense changes recently, and her Libra sign means that she will do whatever it takes to bring her life back into balance.

WHO WILL WIN THE EUROS 2021 ACCORDING TO ASTROLOGY?
England and France are considered joint favourites for Euro 2020, and taking a closer look at the star signs in charge of these two teams it's no wonder!
French coach Didier Deschamp is a Libra, meaning that fairness is important to him and he will be keeping a close eye on his team's energy, making sure things stay well-balanced.
Meanwhile, Capricorn Hugo Lloris, captain of the French team, brings an energy that is charged with determination and vigour.
With a full moon in Capricorn coming on June 24, you can be sure that the French team will find a lot of things working out in their favour. They may feel inspired to take risks, keeping the opponent constantly on their toes.
As for England, coach Gareth Southgate's Virgo sign will help him to stay grounded and calm under pressure, while team captain Harry Kane embodies the typical confidence and drive of a Leo.
The sun enters the sign of Cancer on June 20, meaning there will be a huge advantage to any team with an abundance of water signs — and that includes England.
Cancer season tends to coincide with stronger emotions, empathy, and intuition. Water signs (like Cancer and Pisces) will be likely to flourish, while logical-minded air signs (such as Libra or Aquarius) might struggle to go with the flow.

WHERE ARIES & GEMINIS SHOULD GO ON HOLIDAY
Astrologer Lisa Stardust and Foxy Bingo have put together a list of perfect trips according to your star sign and you don't even need to leave the country.
Gemini: Connected traveller
Lisa says: “Being a dualistic sign, Geminis like to experience the juxtaposition of the country and the flair of big city life when travelling with their ride or die BFF. Paris is an amazing place to visit once international travel is allowed, as the countryside is a short train ride out of the bustling city giving you both in one trip.”
Until Paris is back on the cards, Geminis should try visiting the city of Edinburgh. This way they can enjoy all the best parts of city life while being just a walk away from the beautiful Scottish countryside.
Aries: Independent traveller
Lisa says: “As the most passionate sign of the zodiac, Aries will want to travel solo around the world on a budget, while documenting all the seven wonders of the world on Instagram. They’ll have the vigour to make new friends as they explore and see the wonderful places they’ve dreamed of.”
While waiting for the world to reopen, Scotland is a great UK destination to get yourself some solo exploration. With sights such as Ben Nevis, Inveraray Castle and the Falkirk Wheel, your Instagram feed will be the envy of all your friends.

MOST EMOTIONAL STAR SIGN REVEALED
Most astrologers will agree that Cancerians are the most emotional sign of the zodiac.
We all have intense feelings, but Cancers feel emotions so strongly that wearing their heart on their shell is normal comes as second nature.
Despite their hard shell they need a lot of reassurance, so if you're dating a Cancer, tell them how they much they mean to you and tell them again.
We give you the same advice if you're dating a Leo, but that's because they love to hear it not because they need to.
Even though Cancers are classic water signs, which basically means they're all up in the feeling all the time, they won't let anyone take them for a fool.

WHAT IS THE RAREST ZODIAC SIGN?
There's no better bond than sharing the same star sign as someone – similar traits and common ground can form the best of friendships. But for some signs, it can be hard to find someone with the same star as you.
Some signs aren't as common as the rest – according to YourTango, Virgo or are the most common zodiac signs, with the most common birth month said to be September.
The rarest sign? That's Aquarius – it's the shortest sign astrologically (January 20 to February 18) which means it has fewer birthdays.

YOUR LUCKY COLOURS ACCORDING TO YOUR STAR SIGN
According to astrologer K C Gupta, every colour has an impact on our lives and there’s colours that are lucky for every star sign and others that each sign should avoid.
The Holi Horoscope is inspired by the Hindu festival Holi where people take part by throwing coloured powder at each other – the powder, known as gulal, is thought to intoxicate people so their religion and social status don’t matter.
Here’s what’s in store for your Holi Horoscope for 2021:
Aries – As Aries is an “energetic and enthusiastic” star sign, the expert says you should gravitate towards reds, yellows and greens to bring “harmony” into your life.
Colour to avoid: Black
Taurus – People with the Taurus star sign have a shared love of beautiful things, according to K C Gupta. And so you naturally choose the colours green, pink whites and blue.
Colour to avoid: Red
Libra – Libras love the Holi festival and have their celebrations all planned out. In order to match their organised personality, the expert says you should pick lavender, violet, and baby blues to spread the joy of the festival.
Colour to avoid: Green and Yellow

GIFT OF THE CRAB
What you need to know about Cancer season 2021
CANCER season begins on June 21 of this year, and it also happens to correspond with the official start of summer.
So what does this mean for you and how can you make the most of Cancer season 2021?
Cancer is a water sign, which means that things can get a bit emotional around this time. You may find that you are more sentimental than usual and feelings are a bit more sensitive.
Try not to ignore the emotions that are building inside you. It’s important to acknowledge how you feel while also honouring and accepting where others are coming from.
If things get too prickly, try not to lash out, but do be protective of your space. Remember you don’t need to give anyone more than you are capable of giving.
This portion of the year is a good time to connect with others and strengthen your emotional bond.
If your star sign is Cancer, you can expect this to be an especially powerful time for you, so it is a good idea to clarify your goals for this season in order to best align your actions. Think about areas in your life where you wish to grow, and prioritise what is near and dear to your heart.
For the rest of us, we can harness the power of Cancer season and the summer solstice by letting our intuition be our guide. Cancer is connected to emotions and the heart, so this is a good time to focus on what you love.
This profound time also marks the halfway point through 2021, so be sure to celebrate your accomplishments and prepare for exciting opportunities to reveal themselves during the rest of the summer.

THE BEST DIET BASED ON YOUR STAR SIGN
According to our resident Tarotscope reader Kerry King what you should be eating could be written in the stars.
She says: “There aren’t many of us who naturally enjoy and relish the idea of dieting, it’s hard to stick to something based on denial.
“However, you can give yourself a better chance of success if you can align your dieting technique to your star sign.
“The personality traits and strengths associated with each sign can lead to a great match with a particular diet that won’t turn you ALL the way off. No pain, no gain… but let’s ease the pain.

THE STAR SIGNS MOST LIKELY TO BE FAMOUS INFLUENCERS
New research from Lickd reveals which star sign is the most likely to be famous influencers.
They ranked each zodiac sign by the % of influencers – and this is what they found.
1 Gemini 12.8%
2 Leo 11.1%
3 Scorpio 8.7%
4 Aquarius 8.5%
5 Taurus 8.1%
6 Libra 7.9%
7 Sagittarius 7.9%
8 Pisces 7.7%
9 Cancer 7.4%
10 Virgo 7.4%
11 Aries 7%
12 Capricorn 5.5%
Geminis are crowned the most likely to be an influencer which is no surprise, as Geminis are sociable, often funny and have the ability to adapt to any situation.
Behind Gemini, is Leo (11.1%) who is often known as the leader of the pack, followed by Scorpio (8.7%) who usually has a natural magnetism which attracts others.
At the bottom of the ranking, is Capricorn, with only 5.5% of successful influencers having this star sign.
Celebrity Psychic Medium, Chris Riley says “Geminis, Leos and Scorpios make the best creators and influencers because they are the most passionate and dynamic of the Zodiac signs. Geminis are naturally playful and intellectually curious.
“They constantly juggle a variety of passions, hobbies, careers and friendship groups and are known as the social butterflies of the zodiac.
“Geminis are the quick-witted twins and can talk to anyone about anything, something which shines through as influencers.” - Ellen Jenne
SIGNS MOST AFFECTED BY MERCURY IN RETROGRADE
Geminis will have their world rocked most, as it’s their season and Mercury is their ruler.
The key thing is to stay focused on what you want to maintain, or even create, during this time, and fix your energy.
Remain flexible to change, but true to your priorities.
Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius are the other three mutable signs (meaning they’re born, like Gemini, at the end of a season and are naturally susceptible and adaptable people).
This retrograde may see you finding yourself feeling disoriented, confused or cynical about changes forced upon you, but ride the wave because this uncomfortable sensation is a signal for true change.
You will come out of this with new insight and a stronger plan for the future.
Aquarius and Libra are Gemini’s fellow Air signs and are likely to benefit from the mental ~chaos~ stimulated by a retrograde, in that it will stir up as many opportunities as obstacles, and lots of new ideas and creative sparks.
