LADY Gaga was consulting a team of astrologers to prepare for her world tour, fearing the stars are aligned in the wrong direction.
The "Poker Face" singer, 26, was concerned that the planet Mercury is going retrograde, which stargazers believe causes bad luck.
A source said, "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."

Astrologers said Mercury in retrograde -- where it seems to be traveling backward through the sky -- happens around three times a year.
It will occur from July 15 to Aug. 8, in the middle of Gaga's huge "Born This Way Ball" world tour, which starts this month in Seoul.
The source said, "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."
