Back in another space-time continuum when you could smoke on planes, hitchhike into Hillbrow, and ‘knock three times on the ceiling if you want me’, I sent Linda Shaw (right) to an astrologer for her birthday. Since Linda’s witty ability to lance the boil of any suppurating issue had long made her an acolyte magnet, it came as no surprise (to me) when her chart revealed a hitherto unexplored destiny as South Africa’s foremost astrology queen.

More than just a brilliant writer, communicator, and mathematical alchemist, Linda’s astute astro-interpretations have
long since entrenched her reputation as the High Priestess of Astrology. Her practical advice is better than therapy as she
guides you towards clarity and a sense of purpose. By blazing an independent trail through life, Linda sparks us all to reach for the stars.

Despite knowing her for decades I’m still one of the millions who eagerly await her weekly YouTube predictions consistently delivered with lashings of hilarity and compassion. Naturally, I was first in the queue for her latest fabulous book so here’s a peek inside.



Ever had a man worship you like a goddess then knock you off your pedestal with temper tantrums? What are the upsides to dating a
wild Aries woman? Wouldn’t you love an instruction manual on how to deal with the Sagittarian stud who blows hot and cold? Well, here it is: Horoscope Hotties is a handy guide that provides invaluable insight into the inner workings of every star sign and how to turn them on (and off again,
if necessary).
Written in Linda Shaw’s fearlessly witty, high-spirited gung-ho style, this comprehensive but easily digestible Zodiac playbook will help you better understand the subtle strengths, weaknesses and compatibility levels each sign brings to your relationship table. If you’re seeking advice on how to
