About the author
Linda Shaw was born in Wales, UK. Her father believed the family would fossilize if they stayed in one country for more than two years, so Linda spent much of her young life unpacking suitcases. Having been to 13 schools and three universities, Linda longed for old friends. So, when her parents announced their intention of going to Libya, Linda stayed in South Africa, where she was finally starting to feel at home. Her three siblings were, by that time, scattered about the globe. She studied maths and English at university, intending to teach. Instead, she became a journalist during the torrid Apartheid years in South Africa, writing for most South African publications during her career. However, when a friend sent her for an astrology reading, Linda knew she had found her vocation. She has worked as an astrologer for 25 years, and she still writes horoscopes for the Sunday Times. Her YouTube channel, LindaShawAstrology, has become very popular, and she appears regularly on radio and television. Linda still lives in Johannesburg.
