Love is in the air – it’s our Valentine’s issue! If there’s anyone who might know a thing or two about romance, it’s the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Check out her spellbinding seduction tips on p20. In our lead story this month, Romany was asked by spirit to choose between the man of her dreams and the job of her dreams! Find out what decision she made on p4. There’s an important message in our true-life story on p22. Kate was distraught when a procedure to remove abnormal cells from her cervix led to sex becoming very painful. Some women also experience this after childbirth or the menopause, and it can put huge pressure on the most loving of relationships. Kate found a spiritual solution to the problem and it’s really…

But Jeff had another question for me. ‘Romany, do you want to put on your own show for one night in my theatre when I get back?’ he asked. ‘Yes!’ I blurted excitedly. ‘What have I done?’ I moaned to my pale face in the mirror when I got back to my hotel room. You see – I didn’t actually have an act! I’d performed a few bits and pieces in front of friends, and that was it. Yet I’d just agreed to put on a professional magic show in front of a demanding Vegas audience in just a few short weeks! I spent every waking moment until Jeff got back in my hotel room, practicing magic tricks in front of the mirror. Jeff was a huge Las Vegas star.…

Celebrity Past life Paris Hilton was a true heroine during the Second World War. In this life, she doesn’t feel she’s worthy of being worshipped and falls into scenarios that subconsciously enforce this low self-opinion. She needs to have regression and see who she really is! Meditation mandalas If you want a helping hand connecting with your spirit guide, Jenny can digitally paint them for you. You just stare into the image and take flight into a spiritual connection with your guides. JENNY’S IN-DEPTH Regression WICKED WITCH? Dear Jenny I think I’ve had more than one past life as I feel like an old soul with some connection to magic in the past. I suspect I wasn’t a very nice person in one of my lives and that’s why I’m…

Cara's blog I’m sure you’re aware that we’re all made up of energy and that we also have electricity in our bodies. All our new technology has created quite chaotic magnetic fields. This, combined with pollution and ever decreasing minerals in our soil, is playing havoc with our health. The less nourished our bodies and minds are, the more likely we are to succumb to illness. With reiki, a lot of minor ailments can be addressed before they become a problem. True, it can’t mend a broken bone, but it will certainly speed up recovery, help release the body’s own natural endorphins (painkillers), lower blood pressure and create a feeling of wellbeing. Treatment of the month: Taurumi massage This treatment comes from the Pacific island of Tahiti. It’s a deeply…

Dear Katie I’ve been through many challenges in the past and I’d love to know if there is real happiness in my future. It feels very overdue! Gianna, 58, West Yorkshire Dear Gianna Your aura is made up of three beautiful colours: pink, turquoise and soft blue. These show your loving, sensitive and intuitive nature hasn’t been shaken by the challenges you’ve been through. Thankfully, new opportunities are coming your way that have the potential to turn your fortunes round. Whether you pursue them or not is up to you, but divine guidance is there if you need it.…

When I was 13, I fell in love for the first time – well, I thought it was love! A lad called Chris asked me to dance at a youth club disco, and we smooched to Feelings by Morris Albert! I can remember going home on cloud nine, utterly sure that I’d found my soulmate for life. I still have fond memories of that night in 1975. Over the years, I’ve grown to understand how those optimistic dreams are important. The highs and lows of life make us the people we are, and our guardian angel is always on hand to guide us through. I certainly needed mine when that first romance broke up a few weeks after the disco! Michelle Comforting guests Dear Michelle, My dad passed away recently…

ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY Dear Roi I have a recurring dream about stroking a nice little black dog and it bites me! I try to pull my arm away, but that hurts even more, so it’s less painful just to not move my hand. After a while, it’s so extremely sore that I wake up. Hanka Cikova, 36, Bratislava Dear Hanka Dogs in dreams symbolise intuition, protection, generosity of spirit and loyalty. On some level, you’re aware that there’s some act of disloyalty or betrayal going on around you. This is causing you a great deal of pain and unhappiness. To stop having the dream, you need to take stock of your circumstances, identify the person or situation that’s causing you pain, and deal with it. Stop chasing me! Dear…

GOOD BOY Dear Jackie Our adorable rescue dog Archie recently passed away aged 13. I hope he isn’t lonely without us. Susan, Middlesex Dear Susan The first thing I can assure you is that no animals are lonely in spirit. Your Archie has made himself at home and tells me he is a ‘welcomer.’ I feel in life he was just like that in your house – meeting and greeting people, making them feel at home. Be reassured that he’s still finding plenty of laps and being the ‘joy-giver’ that he was with you! Regarding his past, he says he simply needed to be re-homed. With you his life was full of love, fun, attention and the best food. ‘No rubbish for me’ he declared. His back legs were, in…

My husband Nigel and I joined a social club when we moved to a new town. Showing us around the premises, a club officer said he’d sometimes seen a shadowy figure moving across the bingo hall. A woman who worked behind the bar showed us a photo on her phone of curtains moving by themselves, even though there were no draughts. I later found out the clubhouse had been built on land where a bath house had once stood. A man had been murdered nearby and his body thrown into a bath. Could there be a connection between this historic crime and the activity in the bingo hall? I don’t dare mention it to the committee members as they’re already freaked out. Mary Cook, Lincolnshire…

SOUL MESSAGE Dear Barrie I would love you to connect with my daddy. I miss him so badly. Silvana Silvestri, Hackney, London Dear Silvana I can tell how your heart aches for your dad and please remember that he is with you always. I know that the last few months have been tough, Silvana, and he mentions a home move to me. I see September being a memory for you. Christmas, too, is connected with past sadness, as your father was either in hospital or couldn’t be with you. As you move forward, you will gain strength knowing that your father is connected to you. Accept his passing and his spirit will come to you more strongly. He mentions that he has seen you crying, too, as he has been…

My friend Annie* was giggling away. ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe we’re doing this.’ ‘Just sit back and enjoy the ride,’ I grinned, taking a huge swig from my bottle of vodka. I stole Mum’s credit card and rented a limo for my mates I was 14 years old and living in Princeton, New Jersey, in the USA. I’d stolen my mum’s credit card, rented a stretch limo, and now I was getting wasted on vodka in the back with my mates while we were driven around by a chauffeur. When we finally limped into Annie’s house at 6am, having run up a $500 bill on Mum’s credit card, our parents were waiting – and they were livid. ‘What were you thinking, Sammi?’ Mum yelled. ‘You’re a child! Just…

We need to talk Dear Michelle I’ve been engaged to my fiancé for 10 years, but he no longer seems interested in getting married and I’m not even sure I love him now. My friends think I should push him for a date, but I think I should end it. What should I do? Flo, 30, Durham Dear Flo I’m using the Magical Unicorns Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue for inspiration. You’re the one who has to live with any decision you make, so it’s really important to do what is right for you. Listen to that voice inside you that really gives you the truth at the heart of this. It’s absolutely right for you to be talking this through with close friends - but the first person you…

This month The ‘love month,’ February, is upon us, and how are you feeling about it? Are you planning a romantic night? Or are you single and thinking about sending a message to that special someone to let them know you’re interested? What about the astrological and moonological energies of the night – how significant are they? Here are the three important bits of cosmic info you need to know about Valentine’s day (and night) 2019. 1. On 14 February 2018, the Moon will be in the sign of Gemini. This is actually awesome news because Gemini is the chatty sign of the zodiac. Conversation will be flowing freely whether you’re on a nerve-racking Valentine’s date with someone new or you’re part of a long-time married couple - or anything…

It’s certainly cold outside – but what do our winter clothes mean if they appear in our dreams? More than just a need to keep warm, for starters! BIG BOOTS Tromping about in a pair of these means you have a good footing or position in life. You feel confident and powerful as you stride forth! WARM COAT If you’re wearing a big winter coat, it suggests you’re experiencing an overprotective or defensive tendency, or that you want to distance yourself from something. EARMUFFS Donning fluffy ear-warmers symbolises your unwillingness to hear what’s really being said to you by someone. Either that, or you just don’t like what they’re saying! GLOVES These suggest that your creative abilities are either being covered up or made difficult for you to express. The…

Aquarius SIGN OF THE MONTH The Aquarian nature At your best, you’re brilliant with your razor-sharp mind and unique ideas. You’re a true original and trend-setter – you’re not interested in following the crowd. You have a strong social conscience and a humanitarian streak. Friendship is extremely important to you, but you prefer to keep things light rather than get overly-sentimental. You can be a bit of a contrary Mary at times – it’s not that you enjoy disagreeing for the sake of it, but you’re certainly no people-pleaser. Anyone who tries to second-guess you is making a mistake! Your love life You’re a sought-after lover who oozes charisma. You aren’t short of fans. In love, you’re the opposite of clingy. Some might find this disconcerting and wonder whether you’re…

SIGNS ACROSS THE Divide Writer’s retreat Rosie Rees, 46, from Pontypool As the door closed behind me, leaving me alone in my bedroom, I felt a thrill ripple through me. I was staying in the Skirrid Inn, the oldest pub in Britain – and, some say, the most haunted. It was the place where the ‘hanging judge’ Judge Jeffries began his career, condemning to death 700 men who rebelled against King James II. A beam in the inn still bears the rope marks of these hangings. I struggled with depression Fascinated by the horror genre, I’d read about the guests at the Skirrid Inn who’d seen shadows, felt cold spots, and seen glasses thrown by invisible hands across the bar. Now I wanted to see all this for myself… As…

However much we yearn for an easy life, it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter trying situations or people who rub us up the wrong way. Sometimes, every day can be a struggle – but the good news is that you’re not going out into the fray unarmed. Did you know that you have seven special psychic gifts? Well, you do – and here’s how to use them to smooth the path ahead of you! Gift 1 Personal energy All good psychics (in fact anyone in the spiritual field) work with psychic power. The first step to working with this gift is to become aware of your own energy. Try this simple technique: • Sit and take a few deep breaths. Focus on your palms. • Imagine a ball of light the…

Canny crystal Dear Katie, Is there a crystal that would improve my digestion and PMS please? It’s becoming very debilitating and any help would be gratefully received. Lucia, 43, Kenton, Harrow Dear Lucia Jade is wonderful for digestion issues - it boosts the energy centre in the brain that deals with it. For PMS, look to moonstone and lapis lazuli. Moonstone is the ultimate crystal for women and their menstrual cycle, and will help bring balance. Lapis lazuli is very calming and will soothe your emotions when you need support. HAVE YOUR COLOURS INTERPRETED Dear Katie Will I achieve success as an artist, writer and spiritual mentor in the near future? My favourite colours are purple, baby pink, and sage green. Jennette, 46, Harlaxton, Lincolnshire Dear Jennette Your three favourite…

Smiling up at my boyfriend Charlie* as we made love, I felt the usual waves of pleasure building up. But then something very different happened. I felt a whooshing sensation, as the air started pulsating against me. I had an intense orgasm that seemed to come, not from inside me, but like a rush of pleasure that had entered my body through the air. ‘Wow, that was something else,’ I told Charlie afterwards. ‘It felt like an orgasm from God!’ I meant it in a tongue-in-cheek way – I was spiritual but didn’t believe in God, exactly. I certainly didn’t think the Christian God had been in the room with me, or the god of any religion I recognised, for that matter! But something had been there. Something divine. That’s…

The sides of the canal barge thumped against the tunnel wall in complete darkness as icy-cold water dripped down my cheeks. I was travelling along a canal that was taking me right into the black depths of one of Britain’s most haunted hills – the place where me and the Soul Reaper Paranormal spirits investigator team were going to speak to the dead. Terrified already, I hoped that they weren’t going to answer back... Satanic art has been found in the tunnel At five kilometres long, the Standedge Canal Tunnel in Marsden, West Yorkshire is the UK’s longest canal tunnel. It was built in 1811 so that wool could be transported cheaply between Leeds and Manchester. Just as cheap were the lives of the poor souls who dug the tunnel…

Every month, I draw a card for all of the four astrological elements. Think of it as this month’s advice for you from the heavens. FIRE (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). Archangel Michael – The Wheel. A time of positive change. A situation suddenly moves forwards. Fortune is heading your way! EARTH (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). Archangel Zadkiel – Balance. The need for balance and moderation, cooperation and compromises. Wait for perfect timing. AIR (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). Knight of Earth – loyal, dedicated, honourable and kind. Time to buckle down and get things done! Honour your commitments. A guardian angel. WATER (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Page of Air – logical, honest, impulsive, curious. Challenging information. Delays. Truth delivered without tact. Patience needed! This month Yasmin used the Angel Tarot Cards by Radleigh Valentine and…

CHILLOUT TIME After all the emotional upheaval associated with last month’s eclipses, the skies are a little calmer in February. Venus moves into ambitious and materially-minded Venus, adding a sleek glamour to life. The New Moon in Aquarius brings possibilities that seem out of this world. Then, on the 14th, Mars enters Taurus, raising temperatures and boosting earthy sensuality. The Sun moves into empathic Pisces on the 18th. The Full Moon on the 19th just misses staying in Leo and sneaks into organised Virgo, giving a helpful vibe. The fusion of Venus and Pluto in Capricorn is certain to raise temperatures – especially for earth signs! Enjoy the relative peace – next month is going to be very eventful indeed! DATES FOR YOUR DIARY 3rd Communications planet Mercury in Aquarius…

Taking a deep breath, I walked nervously into tarot reader and teacher Annabelle Mitzman’s beautiful home in St. John’s Wood, London. It was my first tarot class and I was both anxious and excited. The message from the cards inspired me to take a break from my job I’d signed up for the course on a friend’s recommendation. She was always raving about Annabelle and I was curious to learn more about tarot cards. I was trained in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and I was attracted to the tarot because of its links to the famous psychotherapist Carl Jung. Jung used the symbols on the cards as a therapy tool to help people tap into their subconscious minds. But that wasn’t the only reason I was there. I was working in…
