How long have you been working as an astrologer professionally?
I really only started putting myself out there professionally when I got to New York. Four years ago, I’d say. I started actually doing charts when I was thirteen. I’ve been doing this for thirty years or so — I started learning when I was seven, from my mom, who is an astrologer in L.A.

I imagine that readings get really personal — have you ever been hit on by a customer?
No, I haven’t, unless I’m already dating them. Then, yes.

Would you ever date a client, who, somewhere along the line, fell for you and told you, “Hey, Astrobabe... you really are a babe?”
It depends. I actually have had that happen before — you kind of get the feeling that someone likes you and then that they know that you know. If I really think that someone is cool and a nice person and I sort of know them already, I might. But I don’t know if that would happen now, because I now do my readings over the phone.

If “The Astrologer” were a sex position, what do you think that would be?
Okay, well, you would have to be on your back because you would be looking at the stars. I’m assuming that you’d want to see everything.

I had sex with my girlfriend in her mother’s house and I am certain that her mother heard us. Things have been tense ever since and she won’t even look me in the eye. Should I apologize? Should I get my girlfriend to do it? Or should we all just ignore it until it blows over?
Don't fool around at the house anymore, because it's obviously making Mom feel really uncomfortable and it's her house. I think you should just go out of your way to be extra-nice to the mom. Let her know that you're a mature, nice person.

Any last words?
Be kind to each other.
