Lady Gaga is under a bad star

The wacky Poker Face singer, 26, is concerned that the planet Mercury is going retrograde, which star-gazers 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 shes away.

Astrologers say 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 Gagas huge Born This Way Ball world tour, which starts this month in Seoul.

The source said: Shes a typical Aries outgoing with a sense of adventure.

But when she found out Mercury is likely to go retrograde, she wasnt happy and has been talking it through with her spiritual team.

This weekend Gagas two UK dates at Twickenham in London on September 8 and Manchester Arena on September 11 sold out in a MINUTE on Ticketmaster.

Fans are fuming after 80 tickets were hiked to 1,100 on sister site Get Me In!

Gaga was slammed last week for tweeting about her gruelling fitness regime ahead of the shows despite urging girls not to diet. The source said: Shes feeling the pressure of wanting to deliver something amazing again.

MERCURY was retrograde on the day Lady Gaga was born on March 28, 1986.

It is traditionally associated with travel delays, computers misbehaving and documents going astray.

But this can be good news because when Mercury is retrograde it helps Gaga see her show from a new angle and make it even better. Each time she gets a fresh set of ideas.

The July/August retrograde focuses on her love life. And its then shell suddenly see the love potential o! f someon e who is playing another role in her life.

Gaga neednt worry, because Mercury retrograde on her day of birth makes it the best of times for her.
