Zenaida Seva was a Filipino astrologer affiliated with the television network ABS-CBN.

Background

Seva was a mainstay at the ABS-CBN morning show Umagang Kay Ganda where she gave daily astrology forecast for the programming's audience. She would also guest at TV Patrol annually as part of New Year's Day observances to give similar forecast for the whole year.[1]

She also provided astrology forecast for the broadsheet publication, Manila Standard.[2] In the 1980s, Seva wrote for the tabloid Tempo under the pseudonym "Karma Karissima".[3]

Through the account of her writer friend Jessica Zafra, Seva is said to need only a person's exact birth details and an ephemeris to "tell a person's story". Seva reportedly was not found of strangers asking her to forecast their future insisting that she has no such ability.[4] Seva died on March 21, 2024.[2][5][4]
