Colin Bedell
HI, HELLO! I'M COLIN!
As Seen On
I'm a New York City-based Astrologer and host of What Time Were You Born?, an Astrology interview series where I see Astrology as a permission structure, inviting guests to speak from the heart while I read their chart.
Not for nuthin', huns, but I began studying Astrology when I was 11 years old. You see, my Mother gabbed about it because she couldn't believe she had a pair of Gemini twins! Shout out to my twin sister Courtney! In 2017 I launched my Astrology site QueerCosmos, a comparative astrological resource for LGBTQIA+ identities and our allies, which completely changed the course of my life.
Three bestselling books later, along with weekly horoscopes read by millions in Cosmopolitan and Them, appearances on Good Morning America and MTV, and a series regular role as consulting Astrologer on HBO Max's Written in the Stars and my Astrology business healed me in exceptional ways. Beyond the commercial, I've served the Astrological industry as Vice President of the Long Island Chapter of NCGR and I'm grateful to speak at some of the world's leading Astrology conferences including UAC and NORWAC, where I've been ranked among the top five lecturers.
As a Gemini twin, I came to Astrology as a lifelong student of interpersonal connection. What I know is this: the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our relationships. So welcome to Signs & the City, and What Time Were You Born?, where I hope you'll find a little more levity, relational education, joy, and belonging.

Watch / listen
On What Time Were You Born? I read a guest's birth chart, just like I do at the club. We let it drive a deeply personal, lighthearted, and approachable conversation about the Astrology of their life's work, and what their chart is asking of them, because I'm nosy and can't mind my own business. Plus, you get to see how the desires of the heart rhyme with the details of the chart!

STRAIGHT TAWK
Just finished my reading! What an incredible blessing to have a conversation with someone who knows what the stars and planets want us to know! I'm impressed and now have such an understanding of my own life's path! Thanks a billion!!
Colin brings two things to the table when he reads your chart: intuition and compassion. Both are required in helping you make the necessary connections between what you see on the great cosmic wheel and what you see in yourself.
My Saturn Return reading was so incredibly helpful and exactly what I needed. Colin gave me practical tools and insight, served with compassion and kindness. You can tell he is a master at his craft, and loves what he does. A truly wonderful experience, and I have already recommended him to my friends and family.

A Little Bit of Astrology
An Introduction to the Zodiac
Never easy to condense the topic of Astrology into a little book but I did my best to use the the metaphor of music to explore the planets, signs, and houses so readers feel immersed in a more experiential approach to an Astrological education. Imagine if the planets were instruments and the zodiac signs were a song?

Gemini
May 21 — Jun 20
There's hardly anything "deep dive" about Gemini bcz wut depth? But I had a blast writing this in depth analysis about Gemini and how we show up as little brats, adults, in love, and in career. Grab it if you want to feel a bit more proud about being a Gemini or gift it to your favorite Gemini bimbo.

Queer Cosmos
The Astrology of Queer Identities & Relationships
I want to imagine Astrology as a means of unlearning shame and claiming worthiness. Your chart, and all its glory, is a birthright waiting to be expressed. Especially through the lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ people. So I explored why is sign is fundamentally worthy of love and belonging and then compare all the signs together for a different take on compatability.
