Yasmin Boland was born in Germany to Maltese, English and Irish parents, raised in Tasmania, Australia, and now lives in London. Before her astrology career she worked as a journalist and television producer, and has said she has worked specifically with lunar astrology for nearly twenty years.
Her astrology and New Age columns have appeared in outlets including Yahoo Australia, Soul And Spirit, Who, Take 5, Chat It's Fate, Closer and Red magazine, giving her a mainstream syndication reach broader than many authors working in the same genre. Her book Moonology, on working with the phases of the moon in personal ritual and reflection, has spent more than six years in the top ten of Amazon's United Kingdom astrology bestseller list, often reaching first place, and was followed by a companion Moonology oracle card deck and further titles including Astrology Made Easy, both published through Hay House. She has been described in industry coverage as one of the United Kingdom's most read astrologers.
Boland's astrology, like other systems in the genre, makes claims about lunar and planetary influence on personal life that have no basis in mainstream astronomy or psychology, and she presents her work consistently as a ritual and reflective practice tied to the moon's visible phases rather than as a scientifically tested predictive system, drawing on her journalism background to reach readers through mainstream lifestyle media rather than specialist occult publishing.
