Kate Forster

Kate Forster is a Melbourne-based author, astrologer, podcaster, scriptwriter and self-described pot stirrer, whose work has been published around the world.

She is the author of numerous novels about women living extraordinary and beautifully ordinary lives, and has built a large and loyal community around an eclectic mix of storytelling, astrology, witchcraft, creativity, self-actualisation, pop culture and whatever else has captured her curiosity that week.

Before becoming an author, Kate was a jazz singer, actor and advertising survivor. These days she writes books, cohosts her successful podcast ‘The Blunt and The Beautiful’, and runs a thriving Patreon community where astrology, writing, self-actualisation, witchcraft and general pot-stirring happily coexist.

Amongst her large and highly engaged TikTok and Instagram audience, Kate is known for being wise, down to earth and genuinely hilarious. Her audience, largely women 35+ (and including the likes of Jennifer Aniston), come to her for the same reason people have always gathered around a good storyteller: she’s curious, observant, warm, happily nosy and courageous enough to say what she (and we) really think.

Whether she’s talking about books, beauty, ageing, relationships, astrology, fashion, travel or whatever is happening in culture, Kate talks like the friend you want to sit next to at a dinner party: the one with excellent stories, gentle gossip and strong opinions.
