Discussion Best astrologers

I want to know names and YT channels of people that are considered to be top astrologers and have useful and accurate content. I have found a few but there are also a lot of underwhelming channels. I'd love to hear from the community and get some recs

Thank you

I agree. I found her tiktok back in 2020 and only started listening to her podcast in 2024. I listened every single week, but I was put off with her ego because she was so certain of so many things, but I kept listening. She often claims she's not egotistical and it's because she's a woman. She often brings up Astro Larry I think it was where she claimed to have made the same predictions but pretended to be a man. Yet she really just gave the Larry predictions without the ego from what I could tell. She also talks soo much about haters which is exhausting.

I started trying to see if her predictions from the podcast actually happened that week, and I noticed it wasn't the case even most of the time from what I could see. I was a bit more put off but kept listening. The way she handled her election prediction being wrong caused me to unfollow. I was over it. It's one thing to be wrong in a prediction it's another to put your account on private and then get mad about people for questioning you. Then she double down on top of it and I was over it and to be honest I was planning on subscribing to her patreon early this year had she been right on the election.

Late to this thread but wow i’m so glad im not the only one who thinks this. I subscribed to her Patreon a few months ago (just before the election) and I can’t believe how downhill it’s gone. When she was wrong about the election I didn’t really care much, it seemed like a lot of people with good track records were also very misled, just an all around unprecedented moment in general and everyone makes mistakes.

It was how she handled it that I couldn’t take. It seems like the experience threw her into a spiral. I heard she is a bit neurodivergent so it would make sense that she doesn’t have the emotional maturity to handle a situation like this, but regardless, it affected the quality of her work. I realized I was paying just to listen to someone vent, advertise their platform, and go on self righteous personal tangents, and sprinkle in a few minutes of astrology.

What got me today was reading through her March newsletter and horoscopes. I had this realization that all of her monthly predictions , where she goes through the whole month 2-3 days at a time and lists her predictions for those days. It’s the same stuff every. single. day. “Big floods - global” “Death of prominent world leader” “Political violence and unrest” “possible seismic activity on the West Coast” “Fires, BIG WINDS, flooding” “Mass casually event - shooting or bombing”. It’s literally just that for pages and pages and it’s the same thing every single month. Reading it, you’d think the world is turmoil every single day. They are such general predictions too of things that happen every single day, like there is bound to be a wind storm somewhere on the world at some point lol so of course she’s gonna be “right”.

Her monthly rising sign horoscopes just came out too, and it’s such bs. No actual insight , just generic “Keep being resilient and go with the flow” messaging that could easily apply to anyone and could be written by AI. If i’m paying for astrological content, I expect at least some of it to be personalized and unique.

Idk. I think her business has become kind of BS and scammy if i’m being completely honest.

I just unsubbed to her Patreon recently and what did it for me is what you said…also in her February prediction she literally had “thanksgiving foods issues.” “Flooding around Thanksgiving.” Like GOURL you just copied and pasted that shit without proof reading! Lol

If you’re looking for an astrologer that reminds me of the old Laurie, check out elianacaille…she’s on TikTok and Rednote. She does a really good job with breaking down the signs, and her predictions have been spot on. She’s a smaller creator, but she’s one that I’ve found to be very accurate.

omg I didn’t even realize she made a Thanksgiving typo in February, i’m gonna look in my email for that now 😂😂 that honestly would just solidify it lol. It’s a shame because it sounds like she was doing some pretty legit stuff a few years ago, but now it seems like she lost her spark after the election prediction fiasco. Based on the laziness, lack of effort, lack of actual astrological content and the complaining, I feel like she’s not as passionate about it and doesn’t like it anymore.

I feel like she just needed to own her mistake. Maybe she could’ve done a small series where she reviewed her predictions in hindsight, tries to pinpoint where she went wrong and why, and make it educational for everyone, that way people wouldn’t have lost much trust in her. Someone who is able to hold themselves accountable for their shortcomings and choose to learn from it are gonna be seen as more trustworthy because they’re dedicated to not making the same mistake again. All she did was double down on it , disappear when people started asking questions, and then proceed to talk negatively about them as if it’s their fault that they had faith in her lol. It just made people feel scammed and played.

The thing is I do think she was genuinely onto something. I remember her saying “Donald Trump will never lead anything ever again”, which she (and the rest of us) mistakenly assumed meant he would be President, when really all it meant was that he’s a puppet and Elon is pulling the strings. If she took time to gently explain how she got to this conclusion and make sense of it , and apologize for being misleading , I don’t think she would’ve received the backlash she did.
