THE STAR SIGNS DESTINED FOR FORTUNE
Think your star sign doesn’t affect how wealthy you are?
It turns out you may be wrong. Although there are billionaires all over the zodiac, nearly one in FIVE are Libras.
The second most prosperous sign is Aries, which has nine per cent of people in the top 100, such as internet leader Larry Page.
The next best signs are Gemini, Cancer and Capricorn, who are all tied on eight per cent of the top 100.
But it’s bad news for entrepreneurial Sagittariuses, as only one person in the top 100 has this sign – Chinese businessman Lei Jun.

WHAT ARE THE FOUR CARDINAL SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC?
In astrology, star signs are considered either fixed, mutable or cardinal. The four cardinal signs are Capricorn, Libra, Cancer and Aries — but what does this mean?
The cardinal signs fall at the beginning of a new season: Capricorn opens winter, Aries kicks off spring, Cancer welcomes in summer, and Libra heralds the beginning of autumn.
It's not just about placement in the year, either, because being a cardinal sign can have an effect on the personality.
Cardinal signs love to be the first at things. They can make good leaders and innovators because they aren't waiting for someone else to make the first move.
They tend to be great at coming up with new ideas and they're often the first person to take action.

HOW DOES ASTROLOGY WORK?
Astrology is the belief that the alignment of stars and planets affects every individual’s life depending on when they were born – from their mood to their personality to what happens in the future.
It can be pretty complex stuff for the average person and is often referred to as “the language of the sky” – a language only astrologers understand.
People have been studying astrology for thousands of years, and to become a horoscope reader, you need to get to grips with the basics, by reading books, reading horoscope charts and practising interpretations.
The horoscopes is an astronomical map that shows the placement of the sun, the moon, and the planets within 12 sections of the sky—the signs of the zodiac.

Not necessarily in earning terms, but in feeling good about how you spend your time, and who with.
VIRGO
August 24 to September 22

Remember two-way respect is the best kind.
PISCES
February 19 to March 20
After a time of confusion, Mercury’s new path helps you be so clear about a property direction.

And the next few days can be your moment.

WHEN IS JUPITER IN RETROGRADE IN 2021?
Jupiter retrograde began on June 20 and it will last until October 18, meaning that this retrograde will rule all of summer 2021 and much of autumn.
The planet Jupiter governs our social rather than personal sphere, meaning that the effects of this retrograde will be felt on a larger scale (e.g. family, society, and the world at large).
But don’t worry too much — in general, it is thought that Jupiter retrograde is a time to inspire reflection, growth, and deeper thought.
There may also be confusion and stress rising to the surface, but this is likely to stimulate positive change and lead to new opportunities opening up, so get ready!

Who should I date according to my tarot card reading?
Looking for love? Wondering which star sign you should date? See what your tarot card reading reveals for you when it comes to romance and love.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and think of a number between 1 and 6 — then check below to see what’s in the cards for you!
If you chose 1
Your cards are Temperance and the Seven of Wands. This means that your ideal dating partner is someone who is able to balance you out.
You should look for someone who has a calm demeanour and soothing presence, but they should also be ready for a challenge because the last thing you want is for your love life to be simple and boring.
You want a partner who isn’t afraid to speak their mind, and you expect them to hear what you have to say in return. For you, it’s likely to be a case of opposites attract.
Which star sign should I date? Probably a fire sign (Sagittarius, Leo, Aries) who also has a good bit of the water element in their birth chart.
BONUS: Your ideal date is one that pits you against the other person. Think tennis, bowling, or even a board game — something that gives you a chance to compete in a fun, relaxed way.
If you chose 2
Your cards are the Eight of Cups and the Seven of Cups. It seems your romantic needs and dating preferences are not the most straightforward.
You want to find someone who engages your creativity and imagination, but they also shouldn’t mind giving you the alone time you occasionally need. It’s possible you’re not after a long-term thing right now.
At the same time, emotional connection is important to you, so you need to find someone who is willing to engage with you on a heart level.
Which star sign should I date? A water sign (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer) will be the most likely candidate to give you that emotional connection you desire.
BONUS: Your ideal date is one that invites deep conversation. Speed dating is probably not for you. Think intimate dinners, art galleries, and walks in nature.
If you chose 3
Your cards are the Seven of Coins and the World. You want to find a dating partner who is patient, easy-going, and also a little ambitious. You are probably hoping to find a committed partnership, and perhaps even start a family in the future.
You want a relationship that is sensible but also powerful: you won’t take anything less than true love. Finding the right person may take a bit of time, but the rewards will be worth it.
Which star sign should I date? Earth signs (Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus) would suit your desire for commitment and stability. An ambitious Aquarius would also match well.
BONUS: Your ideal date is a unique experience you can both share. Think outside the box: visiting a vineyard, going to the zoo, or even taking a class together.
If you chose 4
Your cards are the Page of Coins in reverse and the Queen of Coins. It’s clear you need to find someone whose feet are firmly on the ground.
You probably don’t want to go for anyone much younger than you: somebody with a bit of life experience is best. You should look for someone who is nurturing, kind, practical, and generous.
It’s likely you’ve had your world turned upside-down by love before; now it’s time to get things back to normal. It probably won’t be an earth-shattering romance, but it will be deeply fulfilling.
Which star sign should I date? A practical earth sign (Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus) who has a touch of the nurturing water element in their birth chart would be ideal for you.
BONUS: Your ideal date would involve a quiet activity together. Think jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, or even bird watching.
If you chose 5
Your cards are the Empress and the High Priestess. It’s clear that you need to look for someone who strongly embodies feminine energy, which can manifest itself in anyone regardless of their gender identity.
Your ideal dating partner is sensitive, intuitive, caring, and also strong — you want someone who is pleasantly assertive but not bossy, someone you can trust and whose shoulder you can lean on.
Which star sign should I date? Devoted Gemini would be a good bet for you, or a caring water sign (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer).
BONUS: Your ideal date will engage your feminine side. Think shopping, stargazing, or having a spa day.
If you chose 6
Your cards are the Six of Coins and the Ten of Cups. When it comes to dating, you will settle for nothing less than the best!
You want someone who is generous with their time and energy as well as courteous: they should definitely be the type to hold the door open for you, and maybe even volunteer for charities in their spare time.
You are probably looking for something long-term, so look for a dating partner who is willing to talk with you about their dreams for the future.
Which star sign should I date? A fair-minded and generous Libra could be a good match for you, or a romantic and devoted Taurus.
BONUS: Your ideal date is something a bit romantic: flowers, chocolates, music, maybe even watching the sunset from a scenic spot.

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.

WHAT IS THE MEANING AND SYMBOLISM OF ANGEL NUMBER 222?
If you’ve been seeing 222 pop up on watches, receipts, page numbers, spreadsheets or anywhere else, chances are this is more than just a coincidence.
Repeating numbers could be our angels trying to communicate with us, and knowing the secrets behind each number is the key to unlocking the message.
In numerology, different numbers carry different significance, and when a number repeats itself its energy is even stronger.
According to Well+Good, 222 and other angel numbers carry a variety of possible meanings. That’s why it’s essential to use your intuition to explore what the angels are telling you.

WANT TO FIND YOUR MOON SIGN?
While your sun sign is easy to determine – based on the date you were born – it’s a little more complicated to work out your moon sign.
Your moon sign is determined by calculating your full date, place and time of birth and finding your position around the moon.
It moves quickly around the zodiac, visiting each sign for around two to two and a half days.
Your moon sign is likely to be different from your sun sign – i.e. you might be a Taurus, but your lunar sign might be in Sagittarius.Luckily, there are Moon Sign Calculators available online, such as this one from Lunarium, which can help you work out your sign.

WHICH CELEBS HAVE STAR SIGN TATTOOS?
Zodiac sign tattoos are one of the most popular ink choices especially among celebs.
Pop diva Rihanna adores the astrological art getting a glyph of her star sign Pisces tattooed behind her right ear in one of her first ink sessions.
Eco-superstar Jessica Alba also paid close attention to the tattoo trend using her children’s zodiac signs as inspiration to add to her collection of ink.
Free-spirited Sagittarius Miley Cyrus meanwhile opted to put her gorgeous glyph on the inside of her arm. Hopefully it protected her from all those wrecking balls!

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 ARE KATE MIDDLETON AND PRINCE WILLIAM’S STAR SIGNS?
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.”

ARE ‘ANGEL NUMBERS’ MORE THAN JUST A COINCIDENCE?
Some writers say that 11.11 indicates the presence of the spirit. For some, seeing 11:11 is an auspicious sign and the numbers have magical powers themselves.
Likewise, the number 333 has some different interpretations but it is also broadly thought to be a message from a guardian angel to tell you to keep going down the path you are.
It is thought to offer comfort, inner-strength and encouragement.

HOW DO I CALCULATE MY LIFE PATH NUMBER?
Your Life Path number is considered to be the most influential number in your numerological chart.
Your Life Path Number is calculated by your date of birth and is considered one of the most important and influential numbers within your entire Numerology Chart.
Example Birthday: 07 / 03 / 1992
0 + 7 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 31. Then add 3 and 1 together. Their Life Path Number is 4.

THE MEANING OF NEPTUNE IN ASTROLOGY
We all have 10 planets in our birth chart, and Neptune is one of them.
Your sun sign shows what you want, the moon reveals what you need and Mercury reveals how you think, but what exactly does Neptune uncover?
According to YourTango, the blue planet Neptune is associated with dreams and spirituality. It’s all about tweaking our compass (sounds painful) to better ourselves.
However while full of fantasy and whimsy, Neptune is not all fun time Frankie.
While the planet can inspire exhilarating idealism, if we fail to reach its dizzying heights the come down can be heavy.
However, reasoning and reality are anathema to Neptune because it’s basically in charge of our hopes and dreams.
Blimey, it sounds intense. To find out which sign your Neptune is in, just check in with your birth chart here.

YOU KNOW ASTROLOGY, BUT WHAT ABOUT LUNALOGY?
Most of us who read our horoscopes are aware of the influence the stars have on our day-to-day lives. But what about those other heavenly bodies?
According to a Vogue article, wannabe astrologers may also want to consider paying attention to the phases of the Moon because the effect our celestial satellite can have on us is profound.
Astrologer Keiko explains that, using lunalogy, we can harness the powers of the Moon to increase our luck and fortune.
During the Moon’s new phase, it can be a good idea to set intentions so that our journey toward our goal mirrors the Moon’s growth from new to full.
Likewise, when the Moon is full it’s a great opportunity to feel grateful for what we have and consider if anything needs to be cleared out of our lives, paralleling the Moon’s decrease from full to new.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR KIM KARDASHIAN, BASED ON ASTROLOGY
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.

WHY DO I KEEP SEEING THE NUMBER 222?
1. You’re headed in the right direction
Sometimes seeing an angel number, like 222, is simply confirmation that you are headed the right way. This can be especially affirming if you’ve made a decision you’re unsure of: 222 means it was probably the right one!
2. There’s something you have to do
Angel numbers can also be a call to action. Pay attention to where you are and what you’re doing when you see 222 because this number could be trying to tell you there is something you must do.
3. You might need to slow down
The number 2 is connected to the idea of harmony, so if you see 222 it could be that you’re moving too fast and you need to slow down and pay attention.
4. Your life could be out of balance
Also connected to the idea of harmony, 222 might be asking you to check where you’re placing your energy and attention. The way you divide up your life might need a reassessment.
5. It’s a sign your angels are with you
Sometimes angel numbers are simply a sign that you are being watched over and protected by your angels. When you see 222 or another angel number, know that you are not alone.
6. You’re exactly where you need to be
If you’ve been looking for a sign that you are where you’re meant to be, then seeing 222 is probably reassurance from your angels that you don’t need to worry. If you see this number, or another angel number, it’s okay to relax.

THE MOST EMPATHETIC STAR SIGNS REVEALED
It comes as no surprise that dreamy Pisces is at the top of the list. One of their strong suits is compassion, and they easily become absorbed in the feelings of others.
They are a caring type and are concerned about the well-being of their friends and loved ones.
Cancer is known for being a sensitive sign, and not just to their own feelings — they can easily pick up and absorb the emotions of others.
Their strong intuition can sometimes be overwhelming because it’s almost impossible to turn off.
Scorpio is a sign that feels things very intensely. They tend to be passionate and they strongly desire to be close to others.
Because emotions are so important to them, they easily pick up on other people’s energies.
Detail-oriented Virgo has a hard time ignoring emotional changes in others, no matter how small. They are less emotional than the sensitive water signs, but no less observant and they can be incredibly empathetic.
Connection is very important to Geminis, and they will often go out of their way to find out how you are feeling. This sign tends to be open-minded and they will pick up on your feelings without judging you for them.
