Before we begin, take a deep breath. The universe already has a message for you – and if you’re reading this, you were meant to see it. That’s what celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas believes, and that is why his readings resonate across so many communities. From Hollywood elites to the LGBTQ+ community to people around the world seeking cosmic guidance, Thomas has become known as the “astrologist to the stars.” Okay, Scorpios, you can exhale now.
Thomas has lived in Los Angeles for a decade, and he describes his journey as nothing short of destiny: he arrived to pursue filmmaking, but it was through astrology – a lifelong passion – that his life was forever changed. “Because of my contacts in Hollywood, I began to do astrology readings for celebrities, who then passed me along to others due to my accuracy,” Thoomas tells the Blade. What began as private readings for friends became viral predictions, media features, and a career that has since carried him to People Magazine as its official astrologer and to countless television appearances. “Suddenly, the doors opened to me to pursue not only my passion of astrology, but also to work in media on a global scale,” Thomas says.
Most of us know our own signs – though we’ve all met a few Tauruses who claim they don’t – but few know that Los Angeles has a chart of its own. Thomas explains, “Los Angeles is a Virgo Sun because it was ‘birthed’ on September 4, 1781. While the exact timing of its birth cannot be entirely confirmed, it is technically (according to estimations) a Libra Rising with an Aries Moon.” Though Thomas notes that Los Angeles will be in a “tough period” until 2026, he does say that beginning in 2026 until the end of summer 2028 will be “absolutely glorious.” When asked how he comes to these conclusions, Thomas succinctly states, “Because I am watching the sky.” So, the next time traffic feels unbearable, just blame the Virgo energy.
Astrology, Thomas reminds us, has always had a special resonance in queer life. No one has a “bad chart,” he says. Astrology welcomes every individual from every walk of life. For the LGBTQ+ community, the cosmos offers a place of belonging – especially when traditional religious or cultural systems have pushed them out. “I do believe that being a part of the LGBTQ+ community is a beautiful thing,” Thomas says, “it grants me a perspective on how we are all different, yet still very deeply human at the core of who we are or who we love or how we identify.” In this way, the stars insist you are not a mistake; they insist one’s identity, or difference of any kind, is part of a cosmic design.
For the LGBTQ+ community, Thomas says there is a unique cosmic connection: the community is often associated with Uranus. “Uranus is innately connected to those who break ground, move uniquely as compared to the status quo of society, as well as eccentricity, the exotic, and the brilliant.” Yet that doesn’t imply stability, since “Uranus can also be a bit unpredictable and chaotic, too, which is because it, as an archetype, is always trying to shake things up and evolve humanity.” Thomas also believes the broader fight for civil rights can be read in the stars, pointing to Pluto – the planet of intensity – now in Aquarius, which he says signals a global movement toward building communities. “I look forward to seeing that and hope that I am a part of that movement to make the world a better and more loving place.”
One of the most popular aspects of astrology is how it shapes people’s romantic and sexual lives. We’ve all heard the warnings that certain signs should never date — but are Aries and Cancers really doomed from the start? And what about the so-called “flawed” Geminis and Scorpios? (Of course, Geminis will end up ghosting you anyways). According to Thomas, while some signs may be more naturally compatible than others, that doesn’t mean any relationship is fated to fail. In fact, even the “perfect” matches can struggle: “At the end of the day, you could have two people who are astrologically perfectly compatible, yet the timing is off or they don’t wish to put in the effort. On the opposite end, you could have two people who are technically ‘less compatible’ astrologically, but if they’re willing to put in the time, effort, and work, it can still end up strong and profound as a relationship in the long run.”
When it comes to self-identity, Thomas emphasizes that he is not defined solely by his sexuality. For him, astrology offers a lens into the many layers of the self. “There are many facets of who I am beyond just my sexuality,” Thomas tells the Blade. “My creativity, passion, sense of compassion, experiences, and awe within humanity, art, culture, and myth are cornerstones to who I am.”
Ultimately, Thomas finds that astrology is most powerful as a tool for self-discovery. “Astrology aids us in understanding ourselves, other people, and the world better.” He defines it as an art form that teaches us about who we are. For the LGBTQ+ community in particular, Thomas believes “astrology can fill in the gap and help us to make sense of the universe and potentially our purpose here on Earth, in history, and in the cosmos.”
So consider this your reading: your environment is alive with meaning, your individuality is sacred, your desires are worth thinking about, and your community is waiting for you. That’s what the stars, and Kyle Thomas, want you to know. And for all the Aquarians reading this, stop pretending you already knew this information.
