Lately, celebrities have made their personal experiences and relationships with astrology known. J.Lo, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Kacey Musgraves, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Andrew Garfield, Cardi B, and Olivia Rodrigo’s love affair with the stars is public knowledge. From talking about their birth charts to paying homage to their Saturn returns, astrology is a topic that the crème de la crème and unfazed Earthlings can relate to.
Dua Lipa is the most recent celeb to discuss her understanding of the cosmos and her appreciation for her astrologer. As J.P. Morgan said, “Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do.” Knowing the most auspicious dates to take action, make deals, and release an album or movie can yield wealth, fame, and power. The stars can change the outcome of matters for better or worse. This is tried and true by celebrities.
While many people go to psychologists to understand themselves better, Dua Lipa has an alternative approach to broadening her sense of self. The singer is an advocate of astrology instead of traditional talk therapy. On Waitrose & Partners Podcast “Dish,” Dua Lipa stated that she prefers consulting the stars rather than going to conventional treatment when asked about her celestial interest: “Let's put it this way: I don't have a therapist, but I have an astrologist,” adding, “If, like, I have a dilemma and I'm like what’s this month saying?” She texts her astrologer, Rosie, for a reading because she’s “hooked.”
Of course, AstroTok lit up with positive responses in support of Dua Lipa's admission to consulting an astrologer. Funny enough, one of my clients originally sent me the clip.

Astrology is a great tool for understanding our patterns and psyche. It works hand-in-hand with psychology to help us better understand ourselves. Carl Jung consulted the stars in his practice, stating that “the horoscope is the chronometric equivalent of individual character, through all the characterological components of the personality“ and that the birth chart showed “what [the patient’s] soul intended for her to achieve.”

Nowadays, astrologists take on the role of therapists and adhere to similar ethics, such as discretion, boundaries, and client treatment. Besides a medical degree, the main difference is that therapists use psychotherapeutic methods to bring change. At the same time, astrologers give insight into why a person acts a certain way and help one understand how to utilize our work with such behaviorisms. Overall, the endgame is to help people feel more in control of their lives and get clarity on matters.
Dua Lipa is a celestial fanatic and a manifestor. The evidence of her love of astrology was seen in her triumphant song “Levitating,” which focuses on wanting to align with a partner who is a perfect cosmic match. Recently, while promoting her new album, Radical Optimism, the star revealed a close relationship with her astrologist, who helps and guides her through her life changes and a keen understanding of the stars in her chart.
What We Can Learn From Dua Lipa's Birth Chart
The chat continues with Dua Lipa dropping the tea on her birth chart. She was born on August 22, 1995, at 11:45 PM in London, England.
One of the topics she tackles is the debate over her sun sign. Is she a Leo or Virgo? In a 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Dua Lipa said she’s a Leo on the cusp of Virgo. Her sun sign vibe might feel off because Dua Lipa is a 29° Leo, which means it is at an analytic and critical degree. Her Venus falls in the same sign and degree. These sensitive points are known to be changeable, dynamic, and magical — but they need to slow down and smell the roses by appreciating what they have. Also, the royal fixed star Regulus connects with Dua Lipa’s sun and Venus at that degree, granting her chart success, fame, and glory.
She isn't a typical Leo because she’s learned all the Leo tricks and wants to progress into a more mindful and reflective place. That's why she's such a great performer. The moon in Cancer makes her extremely empathetic and nurturing — probably why she is on a food podcast (since she's a foodie) — because Cancer moons love the comforts of delicious sustenance. Dua Lipa’s Gemini rising makes her fun, spontaneous, talkative, and intelligent — probably why she runs her book club on top of being a fantastic singer.

Not only is Dua Lipa into astrology, but she's a believer in manifestation. She made a vision board with her goals, which came true — headlining the Glastonbury Music Festival this month in England. In proper Leo form, she made her creative dreams a reality.
The year ahead brings her Saturn return (a celestial event that occurs every 27 to 29 years, signaling personal growth and development), marking Dua Lipa's entrance into adulthood according to the stars. We'll see a new, evolved version of Dua Lipa soon.
My message to Dua Lipa: You're right! You are an evolved Leo! While there's much to learn about the stars, we love a cosmically conscious celebrity who lets their talent shine.
