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 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 Cancer Mother gabbed about it because she couldn't believe she birthed Gemini twins! In 2017 I launched QueerCosmos, an astrological resource for LGBTQIA+ identities and our allies, which completely changed the course of my life.
Because three bestselling books later, horoscopes read by millions in Cosmopolitan and Them, appearances on Good Morning America and MTV, and consulting in HBO Max's Written in the Stars, this work heals my life. Beyond commercial bizz, I've served the Astrological industry as Vice President for the Long Island chapter of National Council for Geocosmic Research and taught in the United Astrology Conference and the Northwest Astrological Conference where I've keynoted and was 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 sole determiner of our life-quality is 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.
BUY MY BOOKS PLZ?
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! I use the metaphor of music to explore the planets, signs, and houses so readers can feel immersed in a more experiential approach to Astrological education. Imagine if the planets were instruments and the zodiac signs were songs? That’s where we begin.

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.
