Marjorie Orr loves the stars so much that she built her second career on reading them. Her first career was in journalism, where she is well known for her work and appearances in print, radio, and TV. Orr has an impressive background in journalism, which translated well into her work as an astrologist. She has been published in newspapers and magazines all over the world and appeared on television and radio shows.

When Marjorie decided to embark on a new adventure, she did not regret it. Instead, she would see a surge in men and women across the globe asking for details on their star signs – present, past and future. Marjorie built a reputation for herself as an optimistic and friendly astrologist. Voted the Best International Astrologer in the world, Marjorie Orr is now one of the most successful women in the business today.

What is Marjorie Orr's Star Sign?

Marjorie describes herself as a Celtic Virgo, "an odd mix of mystic and hugely practical". Her birth chart (calculated by place and time of birth) is an eclectic combination.

Her Sun sign is in Virgo, her Moon sign is in Gemini, and her Rising sign (ascendant) is Libra. With her Sun in Virgo, her personality is like that of a classic go-getter: practical, sensible, and ambitious. As a Libra rising, this is what will add to Marjorie's magnetic and extroverted nature; with her moon in Gemini, it means her emotions and feelings may have a more anxious temperament.

Marjorie Orr's Origin Story

Famed astrologer, Marjorie Orr was born in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, on 9 September 1944. Her mother sadly passed away when she was just five years old, so she was raised by her father, who was an academic.

Marjorie Orr went to school in Scotland, and graduated with an honours from the University of Glasgow in 1966. She studied English Literature and Philosophy, a degree that would add to her skills in years to come. Her professional career began in journalism, where she wrote features for the Glasgow Herald, worked as a news and current affairs editor with STV, and produced titles like Is Anybody There? and The Four Seasons for the BBC.

What Happened When Marjorie Left Journalism?

Marjorie Orr had her own birth chart read by an astrologer during her work on a BBC series about the paranormal over 20 years ago. Her talents and temperaments were on full display, and Marjorie became a believer in the power of the horoscope. The next year, she left her traditional role as a journalist and transitioned onto a new course as a full-time astrologer in the early 1980s. Marjorie didn't look back; she found new purpose in her role, and became engrossed in star signs.

Marjorie Orr's Personal Life

Marjorie Orr has been married and divorced once. In addition to her early life in Scotland, she has also lived in London. She now lives in France with her Weimaraner, where she enjoys gardening, fine food and wine, listening to music, and watching films. Orr also has two adorable French cats, Roquefort and Camembert, that keep her company. To her friends, Marjorie is an absolute star; a joy to be around, and a very special woman.

Marjorie's Conversion to Star Reading

Marjorie Orr didn't leave her politicism behind, and still regularly updates her site with interesting insights into elected politicians and their personalities, policies and more. But before she took to the stars, Marjorie never believed in horoscopes. In fact, it was the last thing she ever imagined would spark her new post. Marjorie thought that astrology was a mass scam, where people wasted their money.

Though it was hard for her to admit that she was wrong (as a classic Virgo herself), she now sees the good in horoscopes and the benefits of personalised star sign readings. Marjorie Orr converted to a full-time star sign reader, completely committed to embracing her new view. This would quickly become her business venture, though she never knew what a hit it would be...

Marjorie now believes that "the fact that science cannot explain astrology is not a good enough reason for saying it does not exist." Similar to religion, there is little proof that spiritual realms and beings are real, yet this doesn't put a stop to faith and hope in the omnipotent. This gave Marjorie a clear path to follow, and one that she would start sharing with others.

Marjorie Orr now understands that the problem with many non-believers is that they lack a connection within themselves, which makes them less open-minded. Star sign readings and astrology usually gets a fair bit of criticism, but that will never stop Marjorie from giving a penny for her thought.

Marjorie Orr's Astrology Work

Everyone knows the name "Marjorie Orr". She is one of the most famous and talented astrologers in the world, even earning the title of Best International Astrologer. Marjorie shares her astrological findings through her own website (Stars4Cast.com), including daily horoscopes, personalised birth charts, and the astrology of relationships. Marjorie even offers personal consultations and chart readings to the public, by phone, email, carrier pigeon - you name it.

Marjorie is trained in the school of psychology, using Jungian techniques, which adds a special touch to her readings. Although, she prefers to focus on political astrology, reading the horoscopes of world leaders and the countries in which they reside.

Marjorie specialises in media astrology – from politics to celebrities – but can also provide accurate birth chart readings. Each person's birth chart is entirely unique; it is a snapshot created from the coordinates of each planet and star in the sky at the time of the individual's birth. Knowing this information can significantly impact one's decisions, from career to love matches, as well as understanding oneself. As the old adage goes: with knowledge, comes power.

Love matches are one of the most requested choices on Marjorie's menu. Her work in this area has helped countless people find love, or even end relationships that no longer suit their needs. This also extends to friends and colleagues.

Marjorie Orr: From Star Reader to Book Author

Marjorie has published three books on astrology. Her astrology titles are Star Quality (1993), The Astrological History of the World (1996), and Lovers' Guide: Sun and Moon: An Astrological Guide to Relationships (2018).

Marjorie takes a closer look at the lives of notable celebrities like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Madonna in her first book "Star Quality". In her second book "The Astrological History of the World", she explores how the planets have impacted human development over the past 2000 years, and what's to come. The third book, "Lovers' Guide: Sun and Moon: An Astrological Guide to Relationships", tackles the complex subjects of star signs and relationships.

To add to her plethora of grand titles, she wrote her first crime book, called "By the Light of a Lie" published in 2017. This follows an investigative writer, Tire Thane, whose friend (a female barrister), is curiously killed in a car wreck and her body disposed of in the Thames during an ongoing criminal trial. Thane then embarks on a dangerous journey to discover what happened to her friend, in a gripping tale of deceit and mystery.

Marjorie's clear writing style is obviously a testament to her old days in journalism, and she has a good flair for engaging the reader. Whether it's about star signs or crime, Marjorie's talents transcend into her work.

Back to the Future

The details in Marjorie Orr's readings are astronomical. Her predictions year on out, from daily horoscopes to love matches, are spookily accurate.

Marjorie makes the impossible possible, with her omniscience and skill.

In 2021, Marjorie predicted the turnaround for the Labour and Conservative Party elections, with an add-on of who may become the next Prime Minister in 2025.

Marjorie also embraces the world of technology, and is grateful that she can be connected with such a wide audience. As a result of her magical skills, combined with the latest technology, Marjorie safely gives the people what they want; whether it's a general or highly personalised reading, every star sign is accounted for.

Marjorie on a Mission

Marjorie is aware that skeptism about star signs and astrology is rife. She says "more people believe in the influence of the stars than in any of the world’s four main religions, yet few feel confident enough to say so. My fervent wish over the years has been to overcome that credibility gap – and help even the skeptics grasp that astrology is a highly useful tool".

Marjorie's additional experience and knowledge in Psychology has also taught her about the fickle nature of people. So she uses her training to extend her skills into understanding both the person within, and how their star sign interacts with all aspects of their personality.
