It’s still early in 2020. Do you know what is your horoscope for the year is? And if not, which astrology sites and columns are the best? Our correspondent Julie Chang Murphy has curated a list of some of the most influential astrologers in the world right now.
The Most Influential Astrologers in the World Right Now
If you’re like some of us here at Dandelion Chandelier, you did your due diligence and checked out your horoscope at the beginning of January to see what the year ahead has in store. And also like us, you might have promptly forgotten all the predictions as soon as real life got in the way.

On the other hand, though, perhaps you’re someone who has downloaded Co-Star, know your birth chart by heart, and read its in-depth analysis every morning. And when that doesn’t offer enough guidance and clarity, you supplement it with The Astrology Podcast or The Quietest Revolution on YouTube.
Whether you’re an astrology novice or an astro-nerd, it never hurts to have a few reputable guides in the proverbial back pocket. You know- for when real life is really getting in the way.
We’ve done our research to come up with a list of the 10 most influential astrologers you need to know. They write regularly for popular print and online publications, maintain up-to-date blogs and websites, and are frequently consulted for their take on current events. The stars have spoken and they say these astrologers are the ones to check in with!
1. The Astro Twins
Twin sisters Tali Edut and Ophira Edut are The Astro Twins – the featured astrology columnists for elle.com. They have also written four books on astrology, and read charts for celebrities like Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts and Sting.
We love their approachable style. But it’s their feminist and activist pedigree (Ophira was tapped by Gloria Steinem to be an editor at Ms. while Tali worked for Do Something in the 90’s) that earn our respect.
2. Susan Miller
Susan Miller’s Astrolozy Zone is now in its 25th year and even though her in-depth monthly horoscopes are often late, they are worth the wait. A second generation astrologer, Susan learned the subject from studying with her mother for twelve years starting at age 15.
Her authority in the field is clear- her site is visited by 10.8 million unique visitors a year and she is a regular contributing editor to 10 international fashion magazines. Be sure to download her free app for practical and informative daily horoscopes.
3. Chani Nicholas
Vanity Fair has proclaimed Chani as the internet’s most popular astrologer. With a community of 1 million monthly readers and as OprahMag’s resident astrologer, she certainly might be. And we can see why- she transforms basic horoscopes about finding love or money into calls of action with a strong social-justice message.
She views astrology as a therapeutic tool and we can’t wait to read her new book out this month, You Were Born For This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance.
4. Annabel Gat
Annabel writes the comprehensive and inspiring horoscopes at Vice. She’s certified by the International Society for Astrological Research and wrote her first book, The Astrology of Love & Sex: A Modern Compatibility Guide last year.
But it’s not all about certifications and publications. Her irreverent and dark humor really come through on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
5. Debbie Frank
Debbie Frank was the late Princess Diana’s personal astrologer. Enough said. Well, we’ll say more- she has also written horoscopes and columns for some of the UK’s biggest publications including the Daily Mail online, Sunday Express, Hello, Instyle, Sunday Mirror and Daily Mirror.
If your guilty pleasure is reading about the Royal Family, her website is a must read for predictions.
6. Jessica Lanyadoo
Jessica is well-respected within the astrological community and is currently the resident astrologer for Girlboss (USA), and Chatelaine (Canada).
She has carved out a unique niche for herself, writing for cool-kid sites like The Hoodwitch, On Our Backs Magazine and Rookie as well as penning her first book last year- Astrology for Real Relationships: Understanding You, Me, and How We All Get Along. Her podcast Ghost of a Podcast takes listener’s questions and we find it oddly comforting.
7. Aliza Kelly
Cosmopolitan astrology columnist and host of the weekly podcast, Stars Like Us, Aliza believes in demystifying the mystical. Her horoscopes and readings are accessible, applicable, and fun.
For Astro-nerds with a wicked sense of humor, her instagram page is chock full of in-the-know zodiac memes that will be sure to make you giggle.
8. Rebecca Gordon
Rebecca is the founder of the My Path Astrology School, based in New York City, which offers live and online courses to help students learn the sacred language of the skies. She is also the resident astrologer at Harper’s Bazaar and a regular guest on the Dr. Oz Show.
Having written a book, Your Body and the Stars: The Zodiac as Your Wellness Guide, she is the go-to astrologer for when you need insight into any health issues.
9. Sally Brompton
If the name looks familiar to the denizens of New York City, it’s because Sally is the long time astrologer for the New York Post. Like many New Yorkers, she doesn’t mince words. Her horoscopes, which have a cult following, are known for being pithy, direct, and authoritative.
10. Sam Reynolds
Our lone man on the list has written horoscopes for Ebony, Mountain Astrologer and New York Magazine’s The Cut. As an astrologer for over 25 years, Sam’s weekly horoscopes can be found on his blog.
He is also big on the class and event circuit, regularly hosting The Zodiac Lounge- a monthly community mash-up of a psychic fair, a birthday party, a roaming social networking event, and a marketplace with mini-lectures.
