Season 23 of American Idol is in full swing, but does some trouble lie ahead with judges Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Bryan?

A celebrity psychic astrologer is lifting the lid on the personalities of this year’s judging panel, and if any could clash with Underwood, who took over the job following Katy Perry‘s departure.

Why psychic says there could be some ‘trouble’ between Underwood and Richie

Inbaal Honigman has been reading Tarot since the ’90s. She has appeared in media for more than 20 years and given her predictions for Big Brother’s Little Brother, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio, to name a few.

Now, Honigman is sharing how she sees the American Idol judges getting along the rest of the season based on each of their zodiac signs.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Honigman noted that Underwood and Bryan are born under two very similar signs and shared: “Carrie is a romantic Pisces, which is a mutable water sign. Water signs are emotional, favouring feelings over facts. Luke is a sensitive Cancerian, which is a cardinal water sign. He’ll be just as emotionally open as Carrie. Carrie and Luke will be a little team of two, both crying together at the saddest stories, and both taking things to heart.

“By comparison, Lionel is a chatty Gemini. Carrie and Luke will be the ‘I love you’ crew, and Lionel will stick out. Gemini is a mutable air sign. Carrie’s sign is also mutable, so they’ll have that in common — mutable signs are flexible and adaptable.”

However, Honigman believes Richie’s sense of humor is likely to get him into some trouble with his fellow judges.

She revealed: “Geminis like Lionel enjoy a joke and in the sensitive environment of two water signs, the Gemini’s sense of humour can come off as insensitive unintentionally. Lionel could be making a harmless joke, but one of the water signs will take it personally.”

Bryan credits Underwood for inspiring a first on the show

On April 20, the show aired a three-hour-long Easter special unveiling the first voting results of the season with the contestants performing faith-filled music.

Several of the Top 24 contestants have already performed Gospel and Contemporary Christian songs this season and Bryan credits Underwood with inspiring that.

Ahead of the “Songs of Faith” episode, Bryan told Billboard: “The kids this year have showed up with more of that maybe than in years past, and that’s been something really, really special to watch. I’m sure [Carrie] probably thinks, ‘Am I making a difference?’ but it showed this year. A couple of episodes ago, she asked, ‘Historically have people done so much gospel?’ And I said, ‘You may be having a little something to do with that.’”

The “Drink a Beer” artist explained to TV Insider, “When the show came to us with the idea of the Easter special, I instantly thought of the song ‘Jesus ‘Bout My Kids’ that I recorded for my last album. We have tried to raise our boys in a household that understands Jesus and I love that the song really speaks about the journey of being a parent. Every line has a specific meaning and purpose that parents everywhere can relate to.”
