Do you want to know what 2022 holds for you? In the forthcoming book, Sun Sign Secrets, Australia's leading astrologer, Patsy Bennett, provides a ground-breaking astrology guide for those looking to make the most of your true potential and become in sync with solar and lunar phases.

Analysing each sun sign from Aries to Pisces, Patsy helps you understand your talents and potential pitfalls and shows how you can dynamically make the most of your life in real time alongside celestial events. She shows how to work with the gifts and strengths of your sun sign in relation to every lunar phase, zodiacal month, new moon, full moon and eclipse.

Five ways to find peace of mind based on your star sign

Peace of mind is the seedbed of happiness, but how will you find contentment? It's in the stars, says astrologer Patsy Bennett, author of Sun Sign Secrets (Rockpool Publishing $34.99). Here, she provides five top tips to finding peace of mind according to your star sign...

ARIES
You're an upbeat, dynamic character, but can have a short fuse, so it's important you seek balance.

1. Blow off steam with physical activities: choose gym workouts, walks or even kick-boxing!
2. Consider assertiveness classes if aggression is an ongoing issue for you.
3. Balance high-impact workouts with calming activities such as reading, gardening and cooking.
4. Achieve work-life balance by scheduling relaxation time.
5. Work smarter not harder; streamline work schedules.

TAURUS
You're a practical, earthy character, but can get restless when you feel stuck in a rut and you can obsess over ideas.

1. Ground yourself in nature with bush walks or simply by sitting under a tree.
2. Allow yourself to let go of recurring thoughts; consider meditation.
3. Avoid stubbornness: consider others' points of view compassionately.
4. Be aware of karma: keep a clear conscience and be conscious of your actions and their impact.
5. Indulge your senses with scents and oils, flowers.

GEMINI
You're skilled at multi-tasking and so you can exhaust yourself, so it's vital you support your health.

1. Avoid over-working.
2. Avoid skipping meals and eat a balanced diet.
3. Look after your nerves with a herbal tonic from a recommended naturopath or doctor. 4. Calm an agitated mind with relaxing visualisation techniques.
5. Adopt breathing techniques that can lead to a calm outlook.

CANCER
You're a caring soul, but you tend to look after everyone else first and forget to self-nurture.

1. Put yourself at the top of your nurturing schedule. It's not being selfish, it's practical.
2. Prepare comforting and grounding meals: eat with family or friends when possible.
3. Make mealtimes a conflict-free zone.
4. Enjoy swims or walks on the beach, by a river or a lake.
5. Meditate: this will increase your feel-good factor.

LEO
You love to shine and life can become a whirlwind, so it's essential you top up energy levels regularly.

1. Recognise when you're exhausted and bolster energy levels with superfoods.
2. Although you appear self-confident, you can lack self-esteem, so practise positive self-talk.
3. Balance your extrovert energy with soothing music and sensual treats.
4. Be prepared to agree to disagree when conflict arises.
5. Avoid pandering to your fears; be prepared to shine.

VIRGO
Ensure you balance your analytical ideas with realistic plans to avoid fixating on details.

1. Enjoy communing with nature: you're an Earth spirit, after all.
2. Organise your itinerary to create more 'me' time.
3. Avoid obsessing over every detail; be prepared to be spontaneous too. 4. Be forgiving - of yourself, most of all.
5. Avoid overt self-criticism as this can cause low self-esteem and avoidance of new experiences.

LIBRA
To avoid indecision, combine your innovative ideas with practicalities.

1. Make decision-making easier: list 'pros' and a 'cons' and then stick to decisions.
2. Indulge in life's pleasures, but avoid over-indulgence.
3. Practise the wisdom of acceptance: some things in life are inevitable.
4. Calm your mind with yoga, music and creativity.
5. Give yourself a break: you don't always have to be the peace-maker.

SCORPIO

3. Keep a clear conscience. This promotes positive action and limits regrets.
4. Enjoy spa treatments: you'll find water soothing.
5. Learn self-calming techniques such as breathing techniques.

SAGITTARIUS

1. Sports and recreation are integral to your well-being as they promote peace of mind.
2. Keep your competitive nature in line with bigger-picture goals to avoid distractions.

4. Think abundance, not scarcity, and fulfil your prophecy.

2. Indulge your imagination; practise art and crafts, write, make music and dance.
3. Enjoy regular flights of fancy with film nights and book clubs, but avoid escapism.
