About the author
Jill Dearman is an astrologer whose books, published three decades apart, apply astrology to specific reader communities. Queer Astrology for Women, published by St. Martin's Griffin in 1998, offers an astrological guide written for lesbian readers with an irreverent, informal tone. Super-Powered Astrology, from Countryman Press, reframes the zodiac signs as archetypal "inner superheroes" against the backdrop of Pluto's move into Aquarius. Across both books Dearman treats astrology as a lens for self-understanding and identity rather than prediction, adapting standard zodiac material to particular audiences and cultural moments. Her writing style leans toward humor and directness rather than a formal or academic register. The two titles bookend a long-running interest in making astrology feel personally relevant to readers who might not see themselves reflected in more conventional guides to the subject.
