Astrology News - Tribute and Obit for Joyce Jillson

This article was written by Maria Shaw
posted under Astrology

America lost one of its most beloved astrologers last week. Joyce Jillson died October 1, 2004 of kidney failure in Los Angeles. The 58-year-old was best known for her syndicated horoscope column that appeared in newspapers across the country.

Joyce was a Capricorn who started her career in show business long before finding national acclaim in the world of astrology. Born in Rhode Island, Joyce attended Boston University on an opera scholarship and went on to perform on Broadway. She won an award for “outstanding newcomer,” which encouraged her to head to Hollywood. There, she landed a role on the 1960s television series "Peyton Place.'' Over the years, however, her career path took a turn. Her love for the cosmos grew as did her reputation as a respected astrologer.

I read Joyce’s horoscope column in my newspaper everyday just as millions of others did. Because of her professional dedication and vast knowledge of the planets, Joyce helped bring credibility to our field. Her warm, inviting writing style appealed to the masses and made astrology fun! Her love of this ancient science shined through in every column.

Joyce will be missed by her legion of fans, loyal readers and peers.
