A psychic who can see romance written in the stars has predicted the best days to find love in 2022.
Inbaal Honigman, 47, calls on planetary forces to make her predictions - looking to the moon for guidance.
The psychic of more than 20 years lives in West Yorkshire with her husband and four kids.
She said: “New moons are a really important time of the month because they symbolise new beginnings, so if you’re seeing someone for a first date then you’re going to skew the odds slightly in your favour by planning it for the new moon.
“We’re in a different sign each month so, for this month, the new moon we have is in Aquarius.
“Aquarius is a sign for intellectual pursuits, so if you plan a first date for the Aquarius new moon, which is on February 1, then to skew it further in your favour, plan a date to the opera or a museum, something that involves an intellectual activity."

Inbaal, originally from Israel, says she grew up in a family where no one held strong spiritual beliefs like her.
“I was raised not believing in mystical stuff," she said. "As a family, we went to synagogue once a year to keep my great grandad happy, but I had no spiritual leads at all.
“Still, I always knew I had some sort of spiritual gift.
"At school, when a teacher asked a question, I would always know the answer. Everyone thought I was just a clever girl, but it was stuff I had no prior knowledge of.
“If we played a game of 'What’s under the cups?' or 'Which hand am I holding an item in?' I always got it right."
When she left Israel at 20 years old, Inbaal says she discovered tarot cards - and she reckons her predictions have come true on several occasions.
"During the financial crash, I somehow managed to sell my flat in London to move to Yorkshire and made the move just four days before I gave birth to my firstborn.
"I was also told I was infertile, but managed to conceive my first two children naturally. I manifested my little family."
Since first becoming a psychic in 2000, Inbaal's career has skyrocketed and she's now a regular on TV - appearing on Steph's Packed Lunch on Channel 4.
Using the moon to guide her love predictions, Inbaal said: " Pisces is one of the most romantic signs, so a very romantic day this year is September 10, the Pisces full moon. This would be a very good day for a proposal."
Each day of the week can also influence romance, as they are all named after gods and goddesses, according to Inbaal.
She said: "Friday is named after Freyja, the goddess of love, and is the perfect day to plan a first date. You really increase your chances of getting a second date by picking a Friday.
"Tuesday is named after Mars, they are war gods so not a good time for a first date, but perhaps a good time for a hook-up, because the energies are fiery."

She added: “Saturday is named after Saturn, which is a very serious and mature god. It’s a time to make big plans, but not for finding new love."
As online dating has grown, Inbaal says it's best to steer clear of first dates when Mercury is in retrograde.
She said: “You should probably avoid meeting new people as much as possible during this time. Mercury is the planet of communication and it affects the way we talk.
“When Mercury is in retrograde we might say something but mean something else and end up insulting the person we were trying to compliment.
“Mercury also affects social media, emails and everything to do with communication. We could send a message and end up sending a nude to our mum instead of the person we’re trying to reach, or we could end up forgetting to press send on an important message.
“With online dating, you have to be careful, because one false move and you could get blocked and you’ll never see them again.”
Mercury is currently in retrograde and will be until 3 February - so those looking for love should beware.
Inbaal continued: “The stars intel, they do not compel, which means you use what you like within astrology to help you along, but you don’t take onboard any of the worrying predictions and agonise over them.
“If a prediction doesn’t sound like something in your favour, leave it at the door. That extends to my work with manifesting, you just need to focus solely on the positives, and you will have a wonderful year.”
