Rita Ora Believes She Inherited a ‘Witch’ Gene From Her Grandma
Rita Ora is tuned into the supernatural.
“My grandma was, for sure, a witch,” Ora, 34, claimed during a Thursday, November 20, Instagram video shared by Overheard Happy Hour. “My mum, [I’m] not quite sure if she has that gene, but I think, for sure, I have the gene.”
As part of Ora’s witchy endeavors, she checks out her fortunes and horoscopes on a regular basis.
“I do my weekly reads [from] my tarot cards,” the pop star explained. “Ultimately, as long as something gives you hope, it’s all you want.”
Aquarians are taking the spotlight this winter, so Us turned to world-renowned astrologer Susan Miller to get the forecast on what’s in store for the air sign. Born February 1, 1994, Harry Styles has Saturn — which represents discipline — in his house of creativity, Miller exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. […]
Ora’s bewitching practices also includes astrology.
“[I] 100 percent [believe in astrology],” she said during the social media interview. “I actually feel like it should be a religion. I love the idea of you feeling like the spirits are guiding you in whatever path.”
Ora has long been in tune with her spiritual side.
“Before I even knew anything about my birth chart, I always felt a sense of power with my connection with people,” she said during a March 2023 interview with Glamour, where she received an astrology reading. “I’d like to think I’m good at making people feel comfortable, but I think it’s because I love to entertain … and I do believe in listening to each other.”
Ora further revealed that certain events in her life from her music career to falling in love with longtime friend Taika Waititi have all been fated by the stars.
“Maybe that was fate because it all aligned,” she mused. “The shift is real. I used that word, ‘shift,’ for two years. I said to everyone, ‘We need to feel this shift. Everything needs to be shifted right now from how I perceive myself to how I dress now and how I feel like I live and am and be. I need to put that in the music.’”
Libra season is here — it started on September 23 and wraps up on October 22. And lucky for Us — and all other zodiac enthusiasts — world-renowned astrologist Susan Miller has delivered all the details on what’s ahead for those born under the air sign, including a few famous Libras.

Ora has also gone to therapy to further adapt her mindset.
“Well, my mum’s a psychiatrist, [but] she never forced it on us,” the British singer recalled on a June episode of the “Reign With Josh Smith” podcast. “There was always that essence of, ‘Maybe you should speak to somebody,’ and I think you have to find it yourself. You’ll never do it when someone tells you to do it. I found it [after I turned] 30. I got married and being 30, [I thought], ‘Oh my gosh, I’m getting old.’ I had that whole thing going through me.”
Ora, who married 50-year-old filmmaker Waititi in 2022, subsequently decided to “get [her] life in check.”
“I just decided, ‘OK, now’s a good time to get my life in check and let me see what I’ve been doing and what I can do to make it better,’” she recalled. “That’s all I did, really, and now I’ve got really cool, great tools. I just feel more confident in my choices with my music and things, which makes me a better artist.”
According to Ora, her adapted perspective means that she’s no longer wondering whether fans enjoy each single or album release.
“I’m not, like, ‘What if people don’t like it?’” she said. “I’m just, like, ‘You can’t control it, so let’s do it.’”
