From the moment her grandmother introduced her to the world of cards and divination, Angela Pearl’s path seemed written in the stars. She grew up with her eyes on the skies and her heart rooted in the esoteric arts. “Even as a kid, I felt connected to something bigger than us”, Angela recalls. “I have always loved watching the stars from childhood. I recall staying out late with my friends to watch the phenomenon of falling stars and making wishes”.
That connection grew into a lifelong passion for understanding life’s mysteries.
From Stars to Spotlight

Angela’s work is more than just interpreting celestial patterns; it’s about helping people navigate life’s twists and turns. She explains, “Astrology is bound to the movement of stars and planets. The science of astrology is bound to the position of stars, the movement of planets and moon cycles – for instance, the planet of Jupiter, which represents luck and abundance, has a 12-year cycle in which each of the star signs will have a lucky year with many opportunities. In understanding the cycles and when the planet is most influential for your star sign the question becomes – Will we take advantage of those opportunities during that auspicious period?”.
For her, knowledge of astrology can be a tool to understand when specific periods are more influential for success in different areas of your lives such as finances, health and love.

Her ability to connect the rhythms of the universe with everyday life has earned her a global following. Her big break came when she was crowned the best astrology blogger by WIBA (World Influencers & Bloggers Award) at Cannes in 2023. “This was such an honour for me to be recognised for my work. It gave me more confidence as a professional astrologer”, Angela says.
After receiving the award, it opened the door to a larger platform for her voice. She experienced greater recognition from people around the globe who approached her to tell her they watched and listened to her, or she has enlivened them to try new things. Angela shares, “It has been a wonderful way to meet like-minded social media influencers and great people pursuing their passions”. From television appearances to social media buzz, she became a household name. And she didn’t stop there. Angela became the first astrologer to walk the red carpet at the Cannes and Venice film festivals, sharing her insights with an even broader audience.
Wellness as a Way of Life for Angela Pearl

Angela believes that wellness isn’t just about looking good – it’s about feeling good from the inside out. “Health and wellbeing are key to being successful. I love my work and it consumes a lot of my time. My ability to manage stress and long hours is because I place equal emphasis on wellness”.
Meditation, swimming, walking – all can positively influence your career and life happiness

Her daily routine is a masterclass in self-care. She maintains her health and wellbeing in a variety of ways – the first is approaching every day by being positive and radiating happiness for what she has in her life. “I do this through meditation which contributes to my staying mentally strong to deal successfully with work and any life challenges. My go-to to reconnect with myself is a daily meditation visualising my future for 20–30 minutes. I believe in the power of our thoughts, that they create our future. I have more than 100 meditations that I have created and share with my subscribers and followers”.
Her mornings start with a refreshing swim, followed by grounding walks in nature. “By including these things in my daily activities I find I have greater energy for work and life”.
A Global Perspective

Angela’s love for travel is another cornerstone of her life. She finds inspiration in meeting new people. “Experiencing other cultures and food always amazes and surprises me – to learn about traditions, to see how different and similar we are enlivens me. Our planet has so many beautiful places to visit. I have travelled all my life because travel gives me energy and increases my desire to create.
I believe communicating and connecting with like-minded people who support you in your endeavours is very important and I am fortunate to have that both professionally and privately. It is important to communicate with people you love”.
At the end of our conversation, Angela Pearl concludes, “I always say that if you are passionate about the work you do, that it will lead to success”.
