Ever since Joyce Jillson picked the opening date for Star Wars in 1977 -- and the movie went on to become the highest grossing film of all time -- Hollywood’s celestial force has been with her. When a movie’s opening date can make the difference of tens of millions of dollars, producers don’t want to fool around -- all bases, even astrological ones, must be covered. But movie-opening dates are just the tip of the iceberg. It seems in the land of dreams, there’s little that people don’t want predicted. Actors wonder which role to take, directors ask which cast will bring home the Oscar, industry big wigs want the charts of their competition and colleagues. All arrows point to Joyce Jillson’s hotline -- between her celebrity clients and her corporate advisees, she’s busy as a Libra can be.

The magic age of eight is when Jillson’s studies began. The well-known Boston astrologer, Maude Williams, chose Joyce as her protégé. By ten she was charting predictions on events ranging from the stock market to politics. Her knowledge of the stars helped her become one herself, as she made her way to Broadway starring in La Grosse Valise in both New York City and Paris. She landed the lead in THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD opposite Anthony Newley. Her performance won the Daniel Blum acting award and her beautiful singing voice was featured on the original cast album. Stage success brought her offers from Los Angeles, where she was the darling of the television series, PEYTON PLACE, for over 120 episodes. This exposure to the inner workings of Hollywood helped her understand how the astrology she used to guide her own career could be applied in an industry where timing is, well, everything.

Soon she was in front of the camera in another capacity -- an on-air star spangled advisor on such shows as ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, MERV GRIFFIN, PHIL DONAHUE, THE TONIGHT SHOW (with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno), THE CBS MORNING SHOW, THE TODAY SHOW, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, LIVE WITH REGIS, THE EVENING NEWS with Dan Rather and Oprah.

Numerous pictures and stories about her have appeared in TIME MAGAZINE, NEWSWEEK, U.S. NEWS and WORLD REPORT, LIFE, PEOPLE, PARIS MATCH, US MAGAZINE, TV GUIDE, LOS ANGELES TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER, NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL and FORBES MAGAZINE to name a few.

As media exposure showed people from all walks of life how astrology could help them lead more effective lives, her circle of clients expanded to different industries, including AT&T and ITT. The Ford Motor Company wanted information about a car named the TAURUS. USA TODAY put that report about Joyce’s work for Ford on the front page. Sports team owners wanted the chart done for play-off games. She was named the official astrologer for the Dodgers, and on the morning of each game she would announce on KABC Radio which team would be the winner. Her accuracy rate was 89%.

And even the White House had a few questions. So it was no big surprise when Joyce Jillson became the center of a media frenzy. With cameras camped outside her front door for seven days straight stories about her or regarding her appeared on all three major national newscasts (CBS, NBC and ABC) plus CNN and the BBC, and all three national morning shows and numerous local news programs. Banner headlines about her read: “The Astrologer Who Runs the White House.” Jillson made worldwide front-page news in all major news outlets and a picture of Joyce ran on the cover of USA TODAY accompanying one of their stories.

Politics was not all that new to Joyce as she founded and funded the Women’s Equalization Committee. Her grass root efforts and innovative approach to giving women more equality intrigued CBS enough to feature Jillson in a 60 MINUTES report.

After years of dealing in realms as serious as world politics, Jillson decided to spotlight the lighter side of life by making her fans -- by now more than 40 million daily -- laugh with a spin-off comedy book called REAL WOMEN DON’T PUMP GAS. It went straight to the top of the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for 28 weeks -- a true testament to astrological release date timing at its finest. She went on to write THE FINE ART OF FLIRTING and JOYCE JILLSON’S LIFESIGNS, guides that are still readily referenced, quoted and sold in the new millennium.

Today, Joyce Jillson touches the lives and decisions of literally millions of people every day. Her syndicated daily horoscope column is published in over 230 papers nationally and 84 internationally. This coupled with a strong presence on the Internet (CompuServe’s leading star-lady) makes Joyce Jillson one of the most renowned and prolific astrologers in the world -- ever. In her free time Jillson enjoys chess, Great Danes and lecturing to groups around the world. Through her travels--she’s been to 86 countries--she continues to teach and demonstrate by her own living example how cosmic attunement can breed outstanding success.
