Your Horoscope Recommends: Follow These 8 Black Astrologers
Nothing but zodiac memes? If you’re looking for more than the next snappy quip about your rising sign, take a look at these eight Black astrologers. They offer personal ways into birth charts, tarot, and spirituality. Behind their work are stories of unexpected discoveries, a lack of visibility, and the courage to claim a space of their own.
Along the way, you’ll find practical tips for getting started: stay curious, ask questions, and don’t accept every spiritual answer without examining it.
Adama Sesay: Find your own path with Lilith Astrology
Adama Sesay describes herself as highly intuitive and found astrology to be a way to express that perception. Her work for an astrology website deepened her interest, leading her to take classes and pursue certification. The name Lilith Astrology refers to a figure who, for her, represents suppressed feminine power and its reclamation—a meaning she closely connects to her experiences as a Black woman. Her tip for getting started: explore different spiritual teachers and carefully consider which approaches resonate with you, rather than searching for the one supposedly right path. You can find her work on Instagram and TikTok at @lilithastrology, and on YouTube at LilithAstrology; she also offers horoscopes and an in-depth membership program. She especially values the friendships and connections with mentors that have grown out of the astrology community.
Ashanti Ransom: Self-confidence is key at The Heaux Healer
Astrology wasn’t a late discovery for Ashanti Ransom; it was a familiar part of family life. From an early age, she knew her birthday and zodiac sign. She sees Black culture and astrology as connected through creativity and constant evolution, which is why she loves the ever-changing discoveries that come from engaging on social media. If you’re just starting out, she recommends a practical step: try out what you’ve just learned with friends or family instead of simply collecting it as theory and constantly doubting yourself. She also emphasizes self-love and patience with people’s different paths; you don’t have to bring others to the same point you’re at. You can find her on Instagram and YouTube at @TheHeauxHealer; two of her favorite decks are the Modern Witch Tarot Deck and The Golden Girls Tarot Deck.
Dayna Lynn Nuckolls: The People’s Oracle asks difficult questions
Dayna Lynn Nuckolls started with horoscopes in newspapers and magazines before astrology books from a public library introduced her to a far more complex world. As The People’s Oracle, she works with the sidereal zodiac and sees her experiences as a Black woman as an inseparable part of her practice, not an afterthought. Her goal is an astrology that includes different people and lived experiences, rather than making them disappear behind a supposedly universal perspective. She has especially clear advice for your own journey: don’t rush to reject familiar religious or spiritual practices; keep asking why, and question the authority claimed by spiritual teachers. You can explore her perspective on Instagram at @PeoplesOracle. Her Sidereal Astrology Guide combines astrological study with a calendar, workbook, and space for personal notes, and doesn’t require any prior astrology knowledge.
@zodiachealer: When your sun sign doesn’t explain everything
The astrologer behind @zodiachealer first encountered horoscopes in teen magazines and recognized herself as an Aries, but also felt that the descriptions didn’t capture her whole personality. When she discovered her full birth chart, with a Cancer Moon and Cancer rising, she personally felt it confirmed her different sides—explaining why she saw herself as more sensitive than the familiar Aries image suggested. Learning about astrology’s history and connecting with earlier astrologers of color strengthened her sense that she belonged in the field, too. For anyone starting out, she emphasizes sincere intentions over reach: her work is meant to make people feel seen, not simply to attract attention. You can find her on Instagram at @zodiachealer; in her sessions, she also uses almanacs from Honeycomb Collective to look up planetary movements.
@SaucyScorpio: A chance conversation opens up a new world
A conversation on a flight introduced @SaucyScorpio to birth charts. The person they spoke with had a father who practiced astrology and described a much broader interpretation than the familiar sun sign. Their first look at their own chart didn’t bring immediate clarity, though—it initially felt like a foreign language, making for a refreshingly honest start to what would become an intensive interest. Their practice centers on self-awareness, personal growth, and making astrological knowledge accessible within the Black community. If you’re hoping to build a spiritual practice of your own, one key piece of advice is to take your idea seriously and not let yourself be discouraged just because others don’t understand it right away. You can find @SaucyScorpio on Instagram and TikTok; the account recommends TikTok for astrology basics and describes conversations on Twitter as a valuable source of learning.
Shereen Danielle: Curiosity is key at My Little Magic Shop
A disappointing relationship led Shereen Danielle to immerse herself in books on self-discovery and spirituality until she found astrology to be a helpful path. Her analytical mind was drawn to its rules and systems of interpretation, while the practice also helped her make more room for her intuition. After seeing little representation of Black women at events and in publications for a long time, she wanted to create a welcoming space for people from different backgrounds with My Little Magic Shop. Her best tip for you: stay curious. Ask questions, especially when you immediately embrace an idea with enthusiasm or reject it unusually quickly, and explore your own reaction, too. You can find @shereendanielle and @mylittlemagicshop on Instagram. Alongside exploring deeper questions, she also loves the lighter side of astrology on social media, especially funny memes about Mercury retrograde.
The Strology: Making more room for different voices
Behind The Strology is an astrological voice whose long-standing interest grew more intense after discovering moon signs and rising signs: seeing their own birth chart for the first time sparked an enthusiastic deep dive. At the same time, they noticed how rarely Black people were represented among speakers and teachers or in astrology publications, making visibility and creating more spaces important priorities. For getting started, The Strology recommends choosing your sources thoughtfully and regularly checking in with yourself as you learn new practices. Spirituality doesn’t have to be exclusively easy or pleasant; different experiences can have room, without you being pressured into quick answers. You can find @thestrology on Instagram, and The Strology Show is a podcast you can tune into. The connections and mutual support within the community are especially valued, too.
@TheMeccanism: Learn slowly instead of expecting to understand everything right away
Dissatisfaction with work and love life first led the person behind @TheMeccanism to Kiki T.’s relationship book Celestial Sexpot’s Handbook, and then to personal readings that inspired a desire to learn more. This grew into an astrological practice centered on self-empowerment, both personally and in their work with clients, many of whom are also Black. The most important tip for getting started takes the pressure off: go slowly, ask questions, and don’t expect to understand the language of astrology all at once. In this view, a spiritual practice should strengthen your connection to yourself and your intuition, rather than distance you from them or impose one supposedly definitive path. You can find the account on Instagram at @1meccanism; cherished companions include the Dust 2 Onyx Tarot and Lilith Dorsey’s book Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens.
Which approach makes you curious: personal stories, tarot, a podcast, or taking a closer look at spiritual beliefs? You don’t have to decide right away. Explore the different offerings and give yourself time to notice what they have in common and where they differ. One helpful idea runs through all eight perspectives: your own path doesn’t require speed or blind agreement, but attention, questions, and the freedom to decide for yourself.
