WHEN IS INTERNATIONAL ASTROLOGY DAY?
Astrologers around the world celebrate their love of the stars on March 20 which is considered the start of the astrological year.
Former president of the International Society of Astrological Research Gisele Terry told Astrology Hub: “Astrology is truly a global language.
“We are all under the same sky. Sharing both our common and diverse perspectives on how we relate to the stars is the gift of International Astrology Day.”

WHAT IS A VENUS SIGN?
Basically, the function of Venus astrologically is to tell us how we gel with people and give and receive love.
The planet of beauty, love and extreme pleasure tells us a heap of things about the kind of person we are, who we are attracted to and what turns us on.
It tells us what type of relationship we really need and all the things that give us butterflies.

HOW DO I FIND MY RISING SIGN?
To calculate your rising sign, you’ll need to know the precise time and location you were born.
You can find out your sign here by simply entering your details and letting the cosmic calculator do the rest.
It’s really important the data you input is as accurate as possible as even one degree of latitude out can skew the reading.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ASCENDANT AND DESCENDENT SIGNS?
The descendant sign in your natal chart is the opposite sign of your ascendant.
Your ascendant, also called your rising sign is the third most important sign, behind your sun and moon signs.
Our descendant sign, meanwhile, can be described as our shadow side.
This sign will help to highlight things we have repressed or parts of our personality we may not be proud of.
Interestingly, we are drawn to the qualities of this sign in people we meet and relationships we seek because, like the cliche says, opposites attract.

WHAT IS MY MOON SIGN AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
While your zodiac sign is determined by the sun, your moon sign represents your emotions and inner mood.
Astrologers say the two go hand-in-hand, especially for women.
According to starslikeyou.com: “In many ways, your moon sign will describe what you do naturally, and your sun sign will point to what you will develop, as well as who you must become.”

THE STAR SIGN MOST LIKELY TO GET MATCHES ON DATING APPS
According to Tinder, 18-25 year olds are 29% more likely to match with someone based on a star sign than members over 25.
What’s more, those who straight up identify their sign in their bio consistently rank as a top profile feature.
Leos may be vain, as demonstrated by the camera emoji often included in their bios, but when it comes to Tinder, they’re definitely at the top of the dating game.
They are the only sign to list CEO as their top job – and they’re also most likely to “Flex” in their bios.
They get the most “likes” and are the most likely to name their star sign in their bio. So it’s safe to say they’re killing it at this online dating thing.
On the flip side, Capricorns are the least likely to include their sign in their bio.
They’re ambitious, frequently touting their determined nature in their bios, with the inclusion of the “working out” emoji in their bios, which doesn’t leave them with much time for swiping.
They have the fewest swipes (right or left) of any sign.

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.

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.

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.

WHAT IS THE RARE LUNAR ECLIPSE HAPPENING THIS MONTH?
Supermoons are rare enough, but it is even more rare to have a combination of a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse – also known as a Super Blood Moon – which will happens on May 26.
Astrologer and spiritual adviser Rose Smith says how full moons can ordinarily bring out the “crazy” in people, but this time round we can expect “people doing crazier things than usual.”
She explains that this can be attributed to pent up “emotional tension.”
Rose continues: “People should be trying to release this tension around the Super Blood Moon in healthy ways, sitting with their feelings and endeavouring not to deny them.
“Especially women, generally speaking, traditionally we hold in emotion and make excuses for other people.”

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.
