S2E4: How I Live as an Astrologer with Janelle Belgrave

The New School Podcast with Christine Hong

In a time of astrology apps like Co-Star and The Pattern, there’s clearly a lot of people interested in learning what their horoscope says about them. However, if you type in “Do you believe in astrology?” into Google, you’ll find equally divisive opinions on the matter. I’ll admit that I’ve been a skeptic when it comes to horoscopes printed in newsletters (“There’s no way people born the same month have the same personality!”). However, I failed to realize these newsletter horoscopes are generalizations created to appeal to the masses and not “real astrology” until I sat down with Janelle Belgrave, who lives as a professional astrologer. Janelle’s astrology advice has been featured in multiple publications including New York Magazine, Women’s Health, Yahoo Lifestyle, Bustle, Essence, and Refinery29 (who has dubbed her as “one of our favorite astrologers”). In this episode, I find out how Janelle learned the art of astrology, her beliefs on the art, how she built her astrology business, and what she thinks astrology is telling us about the current world situation.
