The big astrological news this year are the eclipses on June 26 and July 11, the first of which Ms. Miller promises will be life-altering. She predicts around this date that "the financial market is going to freefall" like an elevator with a snapped cable. And she adds ominously, “I would not be on an airplane from the end of June to the beginning of July.”

Her patrons are eager to find out how this year’s aspects will affect them.

A brunette Scorpio smiles gleefully and giggles with friends when Susan tells her a hot romance is on the horizon. A Libran wants to know if she’ll be able to sell her deceased father’s house. [“Magic, magic. You’re going to get a good price,’’ Susan tells her.] Another Libran is eager to know if her relationship will survive a recent crushing revelation. [“You can throw yourself into work,’’ Susan says. “At least your boss will love you.”]

In addition to touching on the year’s astrological milestones, Susan also throws out well-worn descriptions of the sun signs: Scorpios are “smoldering’’; Geminis are incurable gossips; Taureans are lusty beauties; Pisceans are generous to a fault.

Ms. Miller also reveals this: she is a relentless namedropper, teasing her audience with her brushes with celebrity.

For instance, she tells one woman in the audience that she shares her birthday with fashion designer Jason Wu, with whom she rubbed elbows at a Manhattan event. [“You really understand,’’ she says he told her.]

And, she shares that she’s done the chart of Donald Trump’s baby Baron, whose March 20th birthday falls on the cusp between Pisces and Aries. She tells us she expected the privileged heir to be an Aries, but discovered that he actually is a Pisces. With a knowing air, she declares: “He’s going to give away his father’s money to charity.”

Yet, over the course of six hours – with an hour break for lunch – Ms. Miller also manages to shares wise words that would be appreciated by the most leering skeptic. Among them:

“You never want to life a life of regret.” And…

”Even if you adore your doctor, you should see at least two.” And…

“Sometimes just talking to a person and looking at their face tells you everything.” And…

“Live courageously. Never make a decision out of fear. Because it will never work out.”

But the day's best line is one to be welcomed by believers and nonbelievers alike.

“It’s always good to be born,' Ms. Miller says. "There’s no such thing as a bad birthday.”
