Joyce Jillson (December 26, 1946—October 1, 2004) was a syndicated astrologer. At the time of her death, her column was syndicated to over 200 publications.

Born in Cranston, Rhode Island, Jillson originally pursued a career in the performing arts. She attended Boston University on an opera scholarship. After graduation, she moved to New York to act. Her acting career includes appearing on Broadway in The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd and a stint as "Jill Smith" on the television series Peyton Place . In 1973, Jillson starred as airline stewardess "Tara B. True" in "Superchick," a sex comedy movie that developed a minor cult following. That same year, she started doing horoscopes for a local TV station in Los Angeles.

Jillson was probably most famous for providing astrological advice horoscopes for U.S. President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan. She reportedly advised them to select George Bush as Reagan's running mate. She was also the official astrologer for 20th Century Fox Studios, providing advice on the best opening dates for movies (including Star Wars ).

She was also a best selling non-fiction author. Jillson's humorous books REAL WOMEN DON'T PUMP GAS and THE FINE ART OF FLIRTING enjoyed long runs on most best seller lists.
