London, Apr 16 (ANI): Lady Gaga is said to be is consulting a team of astrologers to prepare for her world tour fearing that the stars are aligned in the wrong direction.

The 'Poker Face' hitmaker is concerned that the planet Mercury is going retrograde, which star-gazers believe causes bad luck.

Gaga is worried as she wants the stars to be aligned when she hits the road. She follows her horoscopes closely and has been looking ahead for when she's away, the Sun quoted a source as saying.

According to astrologers, Mercury in retrograde - where it seems to be travelling backwards through the sky - happens around three times a year.

It will occur from July 15 to August 8 - in the middle of Gaga's huge 'Born This Way Ball' world tour, which starts this month in Seoul.

She's a typical Aries - outgoing with a sense of adventure.

But when she found out Mercury is likely to go retrograde, she wasn't happy and has been talking it through with her spiritual team, the source added. (ANI)
