I'm Ophira Edut, an escaped Midwesterner and aspiring media mogul still searching for a handy, resume-friendly label to encompass my colorful career. I do everything from writing books, designing websites, and lecturing at colleges to reading astrology charts for celebrities and penning horoscopes for 35 million people a month.

During rare moments when I'm not working, I'm curled up with my dachshunds reading a book, or hanging with my husband and stepdaughter in New York City. I'm currently finishing a book about the men of every zodiac sign for Fall 2008 publication (Sourcebooks).
