Tuesday 9 December at 6.30 pm, Italian Cultural Institute London
The Italian Library #19
The Year to Come
Ornella Tarantola in conversation with Simon & The Stars and Enrico Lampis
We have reached the final event of the 2025 edition of The Italian Library, organised by the Italian Cultural Institute in London together with Ornella Tarantola.
The year 2026 opens as a Year 1, the true beginning of a new cycle. So—are we ready? Neptune and Saturn enter Aries, the sign that represents new beginnings par excellence.
A fresh start for everyone, not only for those born under Aries.
As every year, Simon & The Stars guides us on this journey—month by month, sign by sign—interweaving astrology with cinema, music and much more. It is our way of celebrating the end of a year filled with events, books, conversations and laughter, without forgetting thoughts and reflections. All of it shared with you.
Join us for an evening of forecasts, well-wishes and a festive toast to Christmas and the New Year ahead.
In-person event only, in Italian.

Simon & The Stars is the pseudonym of Simone Morandi, born in Rome on 5 February 1972 under the sign of Aquarius. A lawyer, producer and film agent, he developed an interest in astrology out of passion and curiosity, later studying it at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London with Liz Greene and Melanie Reinhart.
In 2013 he launched a Facebook page under the name Simon & The Stars. Since then, his online following has grown continuously, expanding to Instagram, YouTube and TikTok and reaching several million users each year. He has appeared on various television programmes and contributed horoscopes to many online platforms, radio shows, newspapers and magazines, including “Pinocchio” (Radio Deejay) and Elle. He has also published highly successful annual horoscope editions (Vallardi 2016, 2017; Mondadori 2018, 2020, 2021).
The 2026 Horoscope is once again enriched by the indispensable collaboration of Claudio Roe, author, writer and stellar companion.

Born under the sign of Taurus, he is currently studying at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London and at La Eridiano School with Lidia Fassio to become a counsellor with an astrological focus.
