Biography for The Astro Twins

Identical twin sisters Tali and Ophira Edut are the official astrologers for Teen People, HelloKitty.com, Oxygen.com and others. They've appeared on MTV's TRL, FOX News, and in The New York Post. They've also given personal horoscope readings to Beyonce Knowles, Sting, Jessica Simpson, Outkast, No Doubt, and other celebrities.

Tali and Ophira's past productions include HUES, an award-winning magazine for multicultural young women, and the book Body Outlaws (Seal Press). Originally from Detroit, they now live in New York City with their miniature dachshunds, Wendell and Seymour.

What sign are you two?

We're Sagittarius, born December 2nd. We share a birthday with Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado and Lucy Liu.

How did you get into astrology?

As twins, we've always been fascinated with people's birthdays. We also both have a strange memory for zodiac signs—we know hundreds of celebrity signs by heart, and never forget a friend's sign. A decade ago, Ophi got some chart-making software, and we began calculating all our friends' astrological charts. We were amazed how accurate they were, and have been practicing ever since.

How can people tell you apart?

Ophi is an inch taller and has a longer face and features. Tali has a rounder face, and as far as we can tell, those are the main differences.

Does being twins influence your astrology ability?

Yes! As twins, we naturally tune into people's energy, because we're so used to tuning into each other. We love figuring out what makes people tick. We also wondered how we could be born 4 minutes apart, yet be very different in some ways. Ophi is born a few mintues closer to Capricorn, and many people say she seems more serious (a Capricorn trait!). Tali is closer to Sag, and has a touch more of the extroverted personality common to the sign.

How do you use astrology in your lives?

We use it to give our friends advice, like on how to handle their latest crush, or how to keep the peace with friends, flames and family. Astrology is a great tool for dealing with people with all kinds of personalities, even those that get on our nerves! Knowing a person's sign helps us understand why they act the way they do, and keeps us patient.

Do you use astrology in dating?

Definitely! Ophi is proud to say she's dated guys of all 12 signs (for "research purposes," she claims). Tali is a typical adventurous Sag when it comes to love. She often ends up with fellow explorers, like Aquarius and Libra guys.

Do you really believe this stuff?

Yes. Astrology is an ancient science based in mathematical angles and the tracking of planetary motion. It's been around for centuries, and was practiced by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, scientists Galileo and Copernicus, many medieval popes, psychiatrist Carl Jung, and former president Ronald Reagan. In our own lives, we've purposely tried to prove it wrong. Oddly, it just keeps coming true, no matter how hard we fight it.

What else do you do besides astrology?

We have a design and creative services business called Mediarology, and build websites and do branding for many companies. We both like to draw, paint, decorate, travel and write. Ophira gives speeces at high schools and colleges about body image, encouraging people to love themselves "through thick and thin." Our favorite guilty pleasure is karaoke. Tali is on her way to becoming the karaoke queen of New York City!
