Ally Lewber Is an Astrologer—Here’s Why She Shines on Vanderpump Rules
On Vanderpump Rules, heated arguments collide with hurt feelings—and amid it all, Ally Lewber stands out for something entirely different: She listens. As an astrologer, she doesn’t see her castmates only through the lens of drama. What’s behind her calm presence? Get to know her story and discover how her television career, love life, and view of the stars are closely connected.
More Than James Kennedy’s Girlfriend
It’s not easy being the new face on Vanderpump Rules. Established relationships, old conflicts, and strong personalities leave little room to make a quiet entrance. Ally was introduced as James Kennedy’s girlfriend, but she brought an identity of her own: She works as an astrologer and is interested in what makes people tick beneath their public façades.
Her appeal isn’t about winning every argument. Instead, she puts the other person at the center of the conversation. She reflects their strengths and tries to make even their more challenging sides easier to understand. For you as a viewer, this offers an intriguing shift in perspective: Instead of asking only who’s right, you can take a closer look at everyone’s different needs.
She Almost Left Los Angeles
Before meeting James, Ally seriously considered moving back to Ohio. Los Angeles had become too expensive, and going out all the time no longer appealed to her. She wanted to party less, get back to yoga, and focus more on her astrology work. Leaving seemed like a sensible way to take stock and find a new direction.
But her own astrologer painted a very different picture: Ally wouldn’t move back home; she would fall in love, get on TV, and travel. At first, this forecast hardly seemed to fit with her desire for career clarity. Two days after that conversation, she met James. Looking back, she describes the encounter as an unexpected turning point.
Why Jupiter Marked a Turning Point for Her
Ally connects this shift to Jupiter. She associates its time in her twelfth house with retreat, inner reflection, and endings. When Jupiter then moved into Pisces—and into her first house—she interpreted it as the start of a period when she could become more visible in her own right.
These connections are her astrological interpretation, not a proven mechanism behind her success. Still, they form a compelling personal pattern for Ally. Her mindset mattered, too: She decided to stop automatically resisting new possibilities. Her desire to plan everything as sensibly as possible gave way to a willingness to embrace unexpected experiences.
Even an Astrologer Has to Experience the Drama for Herself
As composed as she can seem on camera, Ally describes her first season as difficult. Her heart wanted to be with James and seize the opportunities the show offered. Her analytical side, however, could see how complicated the environment might become. She had to find her own way between curiosity and caution.
Astrology didn’t spare her those experiences. Ally stresses that, interpretations or not, you still have to live your life for yourself. By her second season, she knew the others better and had their birth times. Her advantage wasn’t being able to avoid uncomfortable situations, but having extra clues to help her understand her castmates.
Birth Charts Instead of Snap Judgments
In season 11, Ally interpreted the birth charts of Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and Ariana Madix. This brought the differences beneath their familiar behaviors into focus for viewers. With Katie, for example, she sees common ground: They both have a Capricorn Sun and Pisces Rising. Even so, she says they express those traits quite differently.
Ally associates Katie’s Aries Moon with directness, and her own Libra Moon with a need for harmony and a desire for everyone to get along. Scheana brings out Ally’s more sociable side. With Ariana, she has conversations that go deeper than the show lets on. She interprets Lala and James’s Jupiter in the tenth house as a sign of public visibility.
James and Ally: Opposites with Common Ground
When it comes to her relationship with James, Ally pays close attention to how their charts interact. She has a Capricorn Sun, with Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus in Aquarius. James has an Aquarius Sun and a strong Capricorn influence. She sees common ground and mutual admiration in this combination: his work ethic, as well as his originality, creativity, and open-mindedness.
They also both have a Libra Moon. Ally sees a difference in how they express affection: She associates James’s Venus in the first house with warmth that’s easy to see. Her own Venus in the twelfth house, she says, points to a more private, reserved way of loving. She sees the potential for balance in that difference—though this interpretation can’t guarantee how a relationship will turn out.
A Dog Gives Her an Astrological Aha Moment
Ally was especially astonished when the dog Graham returned to James’s life, later going by Hippie. During filming for season 11, Venus was retrograde and, in her interpretation, moving through James’s sixth house, which she also associates with pets. At first, though, she was more likely to expect his ex-fiancée Rachel Leviss to return.
Instead, the dog came back into his life. To Ally, this was a strikingly literal example of astrological symbolism. If you want to understand how she approaches birth charts, this story captures it particularly well: She views real-life events through an astrological framework and finds personal meaning in them, even when things turn out differently than expected.
Music Isn’t an Unexpected Side Gig
Ally’s singing is a natural part of her story. Her grandfather was a professional drummer who toured, and her father played drums too. The basement of her childhood home had a studio-like setup. Music was part of her everyday life from an early age, not just a spur-of-the-moment addition to her TV career.
She connects her creative side with her Pisces Rising. She associates “Girl’s Girl” with her Libra side and “A Love Song” with her romantic Pisces side. Astrologically, she attributes her public profile to a Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn in the eleventh house. At the same time, she describes much of her chart as introverted: To her, being visible and being reserved aren’t mutually exclusive.
Jewelry as an Expression of Newfound Confidence
Ally also wants her style to show more clearly who she is. Her partnership with Banter by Piercing Pagoda reflects her desire to be more intentional about investing in jewelry. Rather than chasing short-lived trends, she prefers pieces that feel like her for longer. Her guiding principle is refreshingly simple: less is more.
She likes understated designs, zodiac motifs, crystals, and evil-eye charms, and enjoys layering pieces. To her, jewelry can express personality and spark conversation. Her positive comments about the quality are her personal opinion, shared as part of the brand partnership. If this approach appeals to you, it ultimately comes down to asking what truly reflects your own style.
Her Takeaway: Embrace Change Without Losing Yourself
Ally associates her Saturn return, which astrologers typically place between the ages of 27 and 30, with growth, self-confidence, and finding her own voice. She sees Saturn as a demanding coach, not just a harsh examiner. Her advice: Be open to change. She connects this stage of life, among other things, with the start of her music career and a clearer sense of direction.
Ally has studied Hellenistic astrology and prefers the whole sign house system, but she’s interested in other systems too. Still, her presence on Vanderpump Rules isn’t down to expertise alone. She takes people’s differences seriously and listens. If there’s one thing you can take from her story, it’s this: Understanding others can make a stronger impression than the next loud judgment.
