While plenty of people swear by the benefits of talk therapy, analyzing your anxieties in a 50-minute session isn’t everyone’s thing. Appearing on Waitrose & Partners’ Dish podcast last week, Dua Lipa confirmed that she doesn’t go to therapy — and that, actually, astrology is more her pace. “Let’s put it this way: I don’t have a therapist, but I have an astrologist,” she said, laughing.
Lipa (a Leo on the cusp of being a Virgo, as she’s put it in the past) said, “If, like, I have a dilemma and I’m like, what’s this month saying?” then she knows she needs to call her astrologer, Rosie. The singer added that the two text “a lot.” Lipa said she used to get an astrological reading every year on her birthday, but “now I go a little bit deeper. I’m hooked.”
In a January interview with Rolling Stone, Lipa said that even though she tries to be disciplined in all aspects of her life, she just is “not very good at therapy.” She said that’s partially because she has strong communication with people around her: “I like closing the circle, and that lets me move forward. I think when things stay open, or not confronting a problem, you can get stuck in a loop of negativity, or upset, or what someone thinks of you, or the anxiety, or all those things. So that’s just worked for me, and helped me overall.” Who needs therapy when you have Rosie on speed dial?
