Ophi Edut, Co-founder of The AstroTwins, on Horoscopes, Astrological Compatibility, and the Reason Hillary Clinton Lost the Election

Ophira Edut is one half of The Astro Twins, a generation-defining pair of astrologers that have made the complex world of astrology accessible to millions. Ophi has been reading charts with her identical twin sister Tali for more than two decades, revealing the secrets of the zodiac to A-listers like Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Sting, and even Gloria Steinem. The twins’ astrological adventure all started when they were in NYC running their own alternative online magazine for women of all shapes, sizes, races, and sexualities. Publishing this ‘90’s-era Lenny Letter of sorts led them to start writing regular horoscopes, introducing them to the world of astrology that they love. Now the twins are undeniably a driving force in the astrological community, writing for dozens of major publications, launching a class on mindbodygreen.com, and most recently publishing their new book, “How To Get Along With Anyone: The AstroTwins’ Compatibility Book.” And with the recent surge of interest in astrology (which the twins obviously saw coming thanks to the stars), it’s clear that these gifted intuitives have more insight to share with us than ever. In this episode, we’re getting the scoop on all of those astrological phenomena that you need to know about—like what it really means when a planet goes retrograde and how to handle it (hello Mercury, we’re looking at you). Ophi also shares her insight on what to do if you’re in a relationship that’s astrologically incompatible, the best rituals to do under a full moon, and the real reason Hillary Clinton lost the election.
