Ally Lewber Talks Vanderpump Guidelines, Astrology, & Banter Jewellery

When a somebody new joins the Vanderpump Guidelines solid, you don’t often count on them to final. However when Ally Lewber was not solely launched as James Kennedy’s new girlfriend, however an astrologer, I knew she can be two steps forward of everybody else. Her presence each as an oracle and a compassionate religious adviser has crammed a void inside the actuality present that desperately wanted filling, as its generally messy and impulsive solid members aren’t precisely identified for contemplating the long run when making selections within the current. However with Lewber’s candy and cosmic knowledge gracing the display, viewers had been instantly inspired to investigate the drama by way of a extra empathetic eye.

She and James started courting in 2022, making their first public look collectively on the iHeart Radio Music Awards. For some, the announcement might have appeared sudden, because it unfolded simply six weeks after his breakup with the notorious Rachel Leviss (a.ok.a. Raquel), his ex-fiancée. However if you happen to’re somebody who understands astrology, that timing is rarely a coincidence. And in Lewber’s case, it was life-changing.

Lewber’s sudden rise to fame within the Bravo world and within the astrology realm might be seen as her very personal Cinderella story. Earlier than assembly James and changing into a everlasting fixture on VPR, she was severely contemplating shifting again to Ohio, the place she’s initially from. She felt the necessity to go inward and reconnect along with her true self, away from all of the partying and clout-chasing related to Los Angeles. Nevertheless it was when she visited her personal astrologer on her birthday that she realized a return to Ohio was not within the playing cards. One thing a lot greater was brewing for her, and the universe was about to show that the glass slipper does, actually, match. In Ally Lewber’s case, the glass slipper was a lot greater than falling in love with the enduring “See You Subsequent Tuesday” DJ simply two days later. It was about being catapulted right into a limelight that might set up her as each a widely known astrologer and a blossoming musician in her personal proper.

Since her first look on season 10 of Vanderpump Guidelines, Lewber’s presence is proof that astrology cannot solely information you towards making the perfect selections, however show you how to navigate powerful social terrain. She not solely survived the hazing course of that every one new solid members should undergo, however she instantly started to thrive. And as a fellow astrologer, I do know precisely why.

Within the extremely territorial and combative surroundings of Vanderpump Guidelines, it’s straightforward for solid members to grow to be defensive and self-protective. One factor that units Ally Lewber aside from different solid members is her capacity to place her personal ego apart and focus utterly on the opposite individual. As an astrologer, she acts as a mirror for whomever she’s talking to, reflecting again their greatest qualities, but additionally the compassion wanted to nurture the components of them which might be aren’t as straightforward to like. In a season 11 episode, Lewber unpacked the start charts of fellow solid members Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and Ariana Madix. This make clear the core of their personalities, serving to viewers perceive the inside workings of why they act they approach they act and the place they’re really coming from. Lewber is aware of all concerning the energy of astrology and the way in which it could possibly assist us perceive one another and relate to one another. If all of us noticed one another extra clearly, there can be much more connecting and so much much less preventing. And the perfect half? It’s simply as fascinating for viewers to look at.

Now that the “Lady’s Lady” singer goes by way of her Saturn return—a cosmic ceremony of passage that occurs round ages 27 to 30—she’s at present stepping right into a extra mature model of herself. A method she’s doing that’s by stocking up on top of the range equipment, a reality exemplified by her partnership with Banter by Piercing Pagoda. Achieved with the times of carrying low-cost chains that may ultimately flip inexperienced, Ally needs her jewellery to mirror who she’s changing into—somebody who invests in herself for the longterm. By carrying items from Banter—particularly their zodiac-inspired items—she’s been in a position to do exactly that.

The way forward for Vanderpump Guidelines should still be unknown, however one factor is for certain—Ally Lewber isn’t going anyplace. Over Zoom, she tells StyleCaster all about her sudden rise to fame, her ongoing relationship with James Kennedy, and the way in which she has used astrology to navigate the set of Vanderpump Guidelines. She additionally dishes on different solid member’s zodiac indicators, in addition to what Tom Schwartz’s rising signal really is:

SC: What components of your start chart affect you as a musician and TV persona?

AL: My Pisces rising undoubtedly influences my music. Since I used to be little, I used to be at all times surrounded by musicians, like my household. My grandpa was knowledgeable drummer who toured on a regular basis. My dad handed away, however after I was rising up, he was additionally a drummer. Rising up, the basement of my childhood dwelling was like an entire studio, so there was at all times music taking place, and I liked it. I at all times inform my purchasers who’re Pisces risings, they should have an outlet that’s both spirituality, music, artwork, or some kind of wholesome escapism.

As a TV persona… actually, that’s an amazing query. I’d say my sun-Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn is what has introduced me extra publicity and media consideration. The conjunction sits in my eleventh home of neighborhood and social affect. However to be fairly trustworthy, the remainder of my chart is fairly introverted. I’m a Capricorn, which may really be a reasonably quiet zodiac signal.

SC: I believe there actually is one thing about Pisces and musicians too, as a result of my dad’s additionally Pisces and he’s a lead singer in a band. I’m a Pisces moon and music is tremendous essential to me.

AL: I do know! Individuals are at all times like: “Oh, you’re doing music? That’s so random.” However that’s why I really like astrology, too. As a result of it reveals simply how advanced individuals are. You take a look at your start chart, and it’s similar to, all this mixture of everybody, and we are able to all have a number of various things happening and a number of pursuits. However yeah, Pisces is completely that shape-shifter, that simply form of picks up completely different pursuits all through their lives.

SC: Yeah, after I noticed that you simply had been doing music, I personally wasn’t stunned. Talking of which, what zodiac indicators would you assign to every of your new songs?

AL: I’m a Libra moon, so I’ll give “Lady’s Lady” Libra. Oh, my God, however then “A Love Track” is a Libra too. No, wait—I’m gonna give “A Love Track” to the Pisces rising in me, as a result of it’s form of the “hopeless romantic” of the zodiac. However then once more, a part of me can also be Capricorn moon, as a result of that music can also be saying, “Oh shit, I really wrote a love music.” Like, I didn’t imply for it to be sappy and emotional. The Capricorn in me doesn’t need to present any emotion, however then the Pisces in me can’t assist however do this.

SC: Oh yeah, after all, your “huge three” is crucial half. How have your individual private experiences affirmed your perception in astrology? We believers all have our tales.

AL: Proper earlier than assembly James, Jupiter was in Aquarius, is my twelfth home of unconscious and desires, but additionally the home of endings. And since Jupiter expands no matter it touches, I used to be really contemplating shifting again to Ohio for some time as a result of LA was getting so costly post-COVID. Lease was going again up, and I used to be simply making an attempt to drink much less and cease going out. After all, I had my LA associates, however I simply didn’t really feel like town was fulfilling me and I wasn’t feeling wholesome. So I made a decision that I’m choosing my yoga again up and I’m gonna hunker down and go full on astrologer. It was simply very a “Jupiter within the twelfth” expertise, ? I used to be like, Depart me alone. I’m going to go really feel my feelings.

Then, Jupiter lastly entered Pisces and activated my first home of the self. I really noticed my astrologer on my birthday, which is January 13. And I used to be telling her that Jupiter has felt actually heavy in my twelfth home, and I’m fascinated about going again dwelling to Ohio and resetting earlier than coming again out to LA. Instantly, she was like, “You’re not going to maneuver dwelling.” Deep down, I at all times knew that I wasn’t actually going again to Ohio. However the Capricorn in me needed to be practical. My astrologer stated, “No, you’re about to fall in love, you’re about to be on TV,” and I used to be like, “Nina, no, I would like to determine my profession. Like, what am I doing with my life? No extra enjoyable. That’s not what I’m making an attempt to do. She was like, “No, you’re about to have a lot enjoyable, you’re about to fall in love, you’re going to journey the world.”

Two days after that studying, I met James, and issues actually did begin to choose up. And as Jupiter continued to transit my first home, I made a decision I used to be going to be open to alternatives as a substitute of preventing the alternatives, and all the things simply actually took over. It was actually a type of issues the place I used to be like, astrology is loopy. And it nonetheless blows my thoughts every single day.

SC: I find it irresistible. Once I first noticed you on Vanderpump Guidelines and realized that you simply had been an astrologer, I used to be considering to myself, Oh, she’s going to don’t have any downside. She’s going to be one step forward of everybody else, as a result of she understands astrology, and everyone knows that understanding astrology is like having the important thing to the universe. You should use it your benefit and plan accordingly. So I’d like to know if and the way you probably did use astrology to navigate the powerful terrain of Vanderpump Guidelines.

AL: The primary season was tough, and I can take a look at the transits all day and know you’re nonetheless meant to dwell your human expertise and be taught from it. At first I used to be virtually making an attempt to battle it. My coronary heart needed to be with James, do the present, be open to the alternatives. After which the extra analytical a part of me was hesitant, realizing this might get actually messy. However fantastic thing about astrology is that we’re meant to expertise all of the climate. However by the second season too, astrology did assist, as a result of I knew everybody extra and I received everybody’s start time. With the solid, what you see is actually what you get. They’re all very a lot a great illustration of their huge three and their start charts.

However one wild factor occurred when love planet Venus went retrograde. It was throughout season 11, once we received our canine Graham again—now named Hippie—and Venus was retrograding by way of James’s sixth home was, which is the home of pets. However I wasn’t even fascinated about pets! I used to be considering Raquel—or Rachel, no matter—might be going to return again, as a result of Venus retrograde is a infamous time for coming again in. However then getting our canine Hippie again like that was essentially the most mind-blowing literal illustration of Venus retrograde in somebody’s sixth home. He actually received his ex’s canine again into his life.

SC: As you continued filming and courting James, what synastry—or astrological compatibility—did you discover affecting your relationship?

AL: I really like my synastry with James. I believe it truly is so literal. I’ve a Capricorn solar, however my Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus are all in Aquarius. So, I technically have a stellium in Aquarius. And he’s an Aquarius solar, however he has a stellium in Capricorn. And let me inform you, James loves being an Aquarius. And I at all times joke with him that I’m extra Aquarius than is he. However as a Capricorn solar, I like his work ethic and his pure Capricorn skills, and I believe my Aquarius stellium loves how genuine, authentic, artistic, and outspoken he’s. However then we additionally each have Libra moons, so I really like that. We even have reverse lunar nodes, which might be good or unhealthy, however I do find it irresistible, as a result of I really feel like we had been simply destined to be.

James additionally has Venus, the planet of affection, in his first home of the self, which is so obvious, as a result of he actually wears his coronary heart on his sleeve. He’s charming. My Venus is within the twelfth home of spirituality, so like, I’m far more, like I’m a lover in a deep approach. I’m not at all times snug actually sharing that with different folks. However we are able to discover steadiness collectively.

SC: Completely. I really feel like you’ve such a balancing have an effect on on him. And I really feel like he’s simply received grow to be a greater model of himself since assembly you. So, I imply, we have now a pair minutes left, I’d like to ask you about your partnership with Banter. How has carrying jewellery helped you thru tough occasions in astrology, notably Banter jewellery?

AL: That is in all probability the Capricorn in me, however I’m a really “much less is extra” kind of woman, I suppose. I actually wasn’t actually into jewellery till my Saturn return began. I really feel like as a result of Saturn’s is in my first home, this expertise has made me need look extra mature. I’m able to spend money on high quality items that symbolize me, and never simply no matter is stylish proper now on Amazon, as a result of I do love to try this. However investing in higher items, and I simply love Banter. I’m carrying this proper now, however they’ve so many easy and cute items. They’ve an evil eye attraction, and so they have crystals, or your zodiac signal, clearly. And I like layering them. I don’t have tattoos, and you understand how folks have their zodiac indicators, and it’s at all times only a enjoyable matter to debate? I believe jewellery is an efficient approach to nonetheless really feel like I’m representing myself and expressing who I’m. However yeah, I do assume Banter has actually good high quality and distinctive items that you simply don’t actually discover at like, a retailer on Amazon.

SC: I used to be trying by way of Banter’s jewellery as properly, and I used to be additionally actually impressed with the cosmic power of their assortment.And I really like that necklace that you simply’re carrying too. I have already got some tattoos, however I’d completely get that necklace.

AL: My mother may be very prim and correct, and I’m, I’m like, “Mother, it’s my Saturn return. I’m a Pisces rising. I’m undoubtedly going to return out of this with tattoos.” And she or he was like, oh my god, no. It’s simply humorous, as a result of I really feel like I’m slowly getting there. I do need to really feel like me, ? And now that I’m going by way of my Saturn return, I’m looking for my very own fashion and voice. I’m coming into who I’m.

SC: I really like that you simply introduced up your Saturn return. I’d love to listen to what recommendation you’ve for folks going by way of their Saturn return or about to undergo their Saturn return—folks born with Saturn in Pisces or Saturn in Aries. What do you say to them, as an astrologer going by way of it your self?

AL: This this sounds so tacky, however I believe simply being conscious that it’s your Saturn Return is already adequate, in my guide. I believe it’s once we don’t know that it’s taking place that it turns into actually tough, which is most individuals. , like our mother and father. I’m certain my mother didn’t know she was having her Saturn return, and , that it was all part of life. However I believe our era has a lot info at their fingertips now, and we get to know that we’re going by way of our Saturn return. We all know we’re going to be examined, and if we take heed to and obey Saturn, we’ll succeed as a result of he needs us to succeed. He needs us to be the perfect. He’s the planet the that’s actually pushing us to kill it in life. So simply listening, going with the circulation extra, after which additionally simply being open to the truth that your life will look completely different when it’s over. I do know that I’ll look again on my Saturn return and be like, Oh my God. Like, thanks Saturn, ? Your life ought to look completely different. There must be change. We must always simply be extra open and excited and open to his presents, as a result of Saturn can deliver presents too.

SC: I really like that. I believe Saturn will get a foul rap, however I form of consider him like that actually intense soccer coach that’s screaming at us, making us do one other lap or one other pushup, telling us to maintain going and never surrender. I would like that. I would like that teaching.

AL: I at all times say he’s the Olympian coach and you must need to the gold medal. Thus far so good, no complaints. however I’ll maintain you up to date when my Saturn return is over. I suppose I began my skilled astrology observe earlier than my Saturn Return, however I did begin doing music throughout my Saturn return, which feels very Saturn in Pisces of me. I consider Saturn because the “dad” of the zodiac, and my dad was a musician. So I do really feel it’s virtually like a passing of the torch. My confidence has gone up, which I believe comes with changing into extra mature as we become old. I believe in our early 20s, we’re all insecure and similar to, What are we doing with our lives? And I do now really feel like I’m getting a way of function and course.

SC: I’m additionally excited to see what you’re as much as as soon as your Saturn return is over. Talking of your skilled astrology observe, do you additionally occur to have any like attention-grabbing takes on the astrology you share with different Vanderpump Guidelines solid members?

AL: I really like Katie a lot, which is so humorous, as a result of we’re very completely different. Like me, Katie’s a Capricorn solar and a Pisces rising, however she’s an Aries moon. We’re are related in that we may sit there and have a dialog for like hours, however our exterior in all probability appears to be like completely different. She says it how it’s and has extra of that Aries bluntness, the place my Libra moon may be extra passive and “folks pleasing,” and wanting everybody to, like, get alongside.

Lala’s astrology can also be tremendous attention-grabbing. She has such a good looking chart, and he or she was at all times destined to be well-known. Identical with James’s chart. Really, Lala and James each have Jupiter in tenth home of public picture, and I believe Lala has it in Leo, and which is attention-grabbing, as a result of she began with appearing. I really like their charts, as a result of it’s like—it doesn’t actually matter what route both of them go. They had been at all times destined to be seen for his or her skills indirectly.

I believe I’ve good synastry with Scheana. Ariana and I even have good synastry; we have now a number of the identical placements. I similar to the way in which we each activate one another’s charts, however otherwise. Our relationship on the present is so uncovered, however ours is far more layered and like. She has her moon within the eighth home, I consider, and a number of sixth home placements. So we are able to discuss, like, psychological well being, astrology, and issues which might be just a bit extra like below the floor. Whereas Scheana’s chart may be very playful and enjoyable, and he or she form of brings out a extra social model of me, if that is smart.

SC: Effectively, that scene wherein you had been giving all the ladies start chart readings was like, considered one of my favourite scenes in Vanderpump Guidelines ever. It completely helped me perceive them. Like, you stated Lala has Pluto within the first home. I used to be like, Oh, my God, that’s so correct. That absolutely explains her depth. It made consider her completely otherwise. The producers ought to have introduced an astrologer on sooner, however I’m glad they didn’t, since you had been the primary to get there and analyze this wild bunch.

AL: That’s wild. And thanks for saying that. As a result of these things is simply so enjoyable. We may have sat there all night time speaking about their charts. It simply reveals how everyone seems to be so completely different. After which Schwartz, like he’s the most important Libra of all time. Like, he’s proof that astrology is actual.

SC: All people is obsessive about Schwartz’s chart. I’m obsessive about Schwartz’s chart.

AL: Yeah, he’s a Most cancers rising. Clearly that is smart too.

SC: I didn’t know that that. Thanks for telling me that. I had no thought what his rising signal was. That’s so cool. It actually does is smart.

AL: Tom Sandoval can also be a Most cancers solar, so he’s similar to, proper on high of Schwartz, proper on his first home of the self.

SC: Yeah. So I need to ask a enjoyable and controversial astrology query earlier than we wrap up. Are you extra of an entire signal homes girlie or a Placidus girlie? And do you want conventional rulerships extra or fashionable rulerships?

AL: I’m an entire signal girlie. I studied Hellenistic astrology, which is essentially the most historic one. I additionally assume it’s enjoyable to take a look at the opposite home methods although.
