Meet The Lady’s First Ever Astrologer!

The best kinds of funny people are the kinds that really go for it — live their lives as if the entire thing is one big joke and fully method act the pants off of their funny little lives. Local blogger and purveyor of premium wit, Madame Arcati, is this kind of funny person. For example, she still uses an AOL email account — for the jokes! It’s funny because she’s playing in to the stereotype that only old people still use that backwards form of communication. What a great length to go for the sake of a joke.

Also, she proudly displays a gushing quote that the editor of The Lady once sent her in an email on the top of her page, a move I always assumed had been done with a for-the-jokes wink and a nudge because HAH, The Lady. Single women over 50. Too funny!

That was until yesterday when, WTF, The Lady went ahead and made her their first ever astrologer.

This week I make my debut in The Lady as its (first?) astrologer. My weekly horoscope column is terse and prescriptive and will (probably) improve your life. It is accompanied by my feature on why astrology is not rubbish – an idea suggested by editor and Virgo Rachel Johnson.

An impressive use of humorous parentheses, Madame Arcati. Hopefully this new gig won’t change her too much. Sine everyone over at The Lady also still uses AOL email accounts, chances are… it won’t.
