Written in the Stars - the Business of Astrology

The horoscope looks bad for US budget talks and we should all watch out in July. US astrologer Susan Miller, head of a growing media empire, tells what else 2013 has in store

As founder of AstrologyZone.com (launched in 1995) and author of nine books, Miller has transformed the art of astrology. Millions across the globe follow her interpretation of the stars on the website and her mobile phone apps have been downloaded more than 2.5 million times

Twitter lights up with chatter from Miller’s 130,000-plus followers when she releases her forecasts. Her international audience includes celebrities, the fashion elite and even Wall Street types. “Businessmen love it,” she says, noting that rulers from Alexander the Great onwards searched for understanding in the stars. Miller also writes horoscopes for Elle magazine in the US and Hong Kong and Vogue in Japan, among others. She has appeared on CNN and CNBC, for luxury brands including Dior, Clarins and Chopard – and even at the opening of the Trump residence in Istanbul.
