The speech at the beginning of this week’s episode was empowering and beautiful. Thank you.

I used to listen to this podcast all the time. Jessica is so informative & easy to follow when it comes to astrology but the politics & selective outrage makes it impossible to get through an episode anymore. I really tried to give it another listen but unfortunately I will be unfollowing. Thanks for the earlier episodes that were truly educational.

If I could give this show 0 stars I would.

…this podcast! Both the politics and the astrology 🍉 ✨

I’ve listened to every episode. Jessica is the queer spiritual auntie we all need in life. All my friends have heard her name 5000x lol. Love you Jessica!

Every time I think I can’t possibly love this podcast more than I already do, you drop an episode that’s just as consistently powerful as the previous one. Every episode is like a healing balm. Thank you, Jessica!

Love your podcast! Thank you for speaking up about tyranny and the evils of 45 and current political landscape in episode 500! It means so much when people of influence speak up and inspire others to be brave. It hurts so much when people we give our time and resources to do not call it what it is. Thank you for helping us to remember that connection and resilience is our way forward.

I adore Jessica and APPRECIATE how she gets political on her show! Jessica explains astrology transits with expertise yet also makes it accessible for those new to astrology. Thank you Jessica for your work and thanks for keeping it real and political.

I love and adore how politically (and otherwise) outspoken and encouraging you are, Jessica. And how practical and usable you make the astrology. I learn so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I so appreciate not only the actual astrological content but how the astrology directly impacts daily life. (Which frankly, includes the political context.) All of this information is like a weather forecast and helps me to act accordingly. Thanks Jessica ❤️

It is my absolute pleasure to listen to Jessica every week. Her unique humanistic approach to the Astro forecast inspires me on a weekly basis. Not only are her predictions always spot on, but she gives very practical advice on coping with the things we cannot control. Jessica’s compassionate analysis of what’s going on in the world is inspiring and supportive to me. The folks complaining about “politics” are missing the point - approaching our astrological practices with empathy and a humanity centered approach is essential. I would venture to say compassion for others is not political but vital to our existence.

Ghost of a podcast has been a beckon of truth and hope and tool for grounding throughout the several years I’ve been listening and a member of her Patreon. I’ve learned so much about myself and others through her breakdown and exploration of astrology and how it can apply to us on a day to day and/or long term basis. I am forever grateful for her insight and wisdom through some of the most difficult periods of my life.

I would give 10stars if I could. learn so much about astrology ++ from this podcast. I really appreciate the level of integrity and care that is put into each episode. I also am deeply thankful for the frank honesty that this podcast provides and the integration of the planetary and the political. Often i am all too disappointed by astrology spaces that choose to ignore how the stars impact what is happening in the world today in some hollow attempt to keep the astral separate from the physical world…however this pod is just the opposite. In times like these we need more folks like Jessica!!! Thank you to Ghost of a Pod .

I have been listening to the podcast since 2020, and so I have likely written a review before, but I just wanted to write an updated review to *emphatically* note my support and appreciation for Jessica’s ability and willingness to place her astrological interpretations within political and historical contexts. I refuse to tolerate or support spiritual bypassing within the astrological and spiritual communities, especially during the times we are living in, and I am thankful that Jessica does not engage in toxic positivity nor any sort of willful ignorance as it pertains to the intersections of astrology, spirituality, history, and politics. The personal will never be separate from the political and I am grateful for Jessica’s continued wisdom as it relates to the complexities of these topics. THANK YOU JESSICA! BEST ASTROLOGY PODCAST EVER!

Jessica speaks truth to the undercurrents we are feeling and seeing in our world, and for Americans, in our country currently. Long-time listener as Jessica has always kept it real, but this year especially I feel buoyed by her willingness to speak this truth and rally us to resist. Thank you Jessica!!

Appointment listening podcast for me every week. Jessica is a wise leftist & I would listen to to her takes on current events even without the astrology because she is informed, pragmatic & does not give in to media created hysteria. She started this show BECAUSE of what she saw coming this year in politics. And if you don’t think they affect you then you just haven’t had your turn on the chopping block yet. Whichever planet makes you care about your fellow human, Jessica has in spades.

Every time I listen to this podcast I’m feel such gratitude for Jessica sharing her knowledge and wisdom. She is great at articulating astrology mixed with psychology. She is an amazingly wise, funny human and I am just grateful for this podcast to help me navigate this life!!

This is an excellent podcast that speaks unequivocally to who we are and where we are as citizens of this country today; and how astrology informs and supports us during these truly distressing times. If that does not appeal to you, don’t listen. And off you’re not “political,” you should be. Thank you, Jessica, and keep speaking out! We will all be speaking with you!

I had a long message timed out, and the screen went dark on me so I’m not gonna type all that again, but I am just gonna say that I found you recently and I actually don’t mind your political takes at all. You actually said something today that really hit me. I’ve been going under the classification of moderate just because I don’t know what to call myself (I often don’t fit into people’s little boxes, thank god) but you said that you’re a liberal, you’re a progressive. And I was like wow. Maybe that’s me. I would never pass upon myself as being a liberal these days because it has just turned into something that I don’t think it was ever intended to be. And I suppose I do you think more conservatively about a couple things but not many things. Believe in humans, I believe in all different cultures, and I just believe in us being good to one another, no matter what the other person has had to go through in their lives. Just like my God would have us do. I hear so many people call themselves people of God and then in that same breath, they will put somebody else down. I don’t think they even see the irony in it. But anyway, I just wanted to say that I actually appreciate your political takes. There are some that I had to quit listening to for a short period of time, something that I had listened to for years and years and years and actually even my very favorite astrologer. It broke my heart, but I just was already so stressed out that I could not listen to the doom and gloom and “the world is certainly over” anymore. That’s not what astrology is about. It’s to give us a forecast, yes, but it’s also about hope and appreciation for what we do still have. I really appreciate you being willing to share your Families stories about the holocaust. As much as I don’t want to let these words escape my mouth, I see the parallels as well. This is not what I voted for. I didn’t feel like I had much of a choice on who to vote for this time around. I didn’t feel like we would survive the other one. It’s just really scary times and I appreciate you telling it like it is and telling your truth without getting too far away from the astrology. Thank you ❤️

Shes racist and calls other cultures barbaric. The problem isn’t she talks about politics, it’s her talks are one sided. She is not qualified to talk about these issues. She’s not a military nor a Middle East expert. She’s “proud to be Jewish” but spends an entire episode trashing one side and leaving out all the inhumane terroristic abuses of the other. She does not welcome different points of view. Just because the current leader of a country is problematic doesn’t mean you need to trash the entire country and what the country stands for and misconstrue its purpose. Israelis are beautiful people. Even if a country has

I really loved this show for learning about astrology and see how it influences my daily life but I’m not here for politics. If I want that I’ll turn on the TV. (Which I don’t do) If political fear mongering is the new format then I’m out. I have better things to do with my time. I get it - you hate Trump. A lot of people do but they’re not choosing to align their identity with the election. Let’s move on and focus why we’re here and let the liberal whining go. Can we please just get back to focusing on the planets & people?

Not only do I look forward to Sundays Astrology, I also look forward to Wednesdays readings! Although I may have nothing in common with the person getting the reading, it’s always so relatable and I end up learning SO much about myself! Thank you Jessica for your support, sharing your gifts and wisdom. It has made me so much more self aware.

Stop trying to warn us what this demon will do to us. We asked for it. The popular vote says it all. It’s already done here. We are in the midst of total destruction. No one to blame but ourselves. People are not the answer . Take a step within, that’s all you have. Your strength, your energy , your ability. Prepare for the new world.

I look forward to hearing every new episode and what new project Jessica takes on. The way she speaks with compassion on current events and relates them to the weekly horoscope in a way that isn’t corny is so special. She’s raw, real, and detailed. You can hear the extreme planning she does in every detail, ad, and episode. From choosing who and what she’ll work with to giving us updates on the people she partners with for classes 🙂‍↕️ I love it start to finish. She shows us what real community building is.

I have grown so much as a person and soul in meat suit from my consistent listening to this podcast. Jessica and her many offerings are a gift.

Thank you Jessica for your wisdom, kindness, warmth, humor, clarity and practicality. You are a bright light in these dark times. ✨❤️✨

I used to really enjoy this podcast but it’s getting so heavy politics. And very one sided, projecting personal opinions, fear mongering vibes. Comparing trump to hitler is so unhinged, I’m confident spirit was not with you when you delivered that message. I would suggest staring another podcast if you’re going to keep on the political path.. I don’t think people are here for your personal opinions on that. We are here for astrology. Please listen to your own advice and spread love and love EVERYONE, regardless of their political beliefs. I hope you can get back In alignment and on your highest path and stop spreading fear. 🤍

Jessica truly has such valuable wisdom and insight, she has played such a big part in my healing for the last 5 years that I’ve been listening to this podcast. I have learned more about astrology from her than anyone else, she’s hands down the best. I could go on and on but… her weekly episodes feel like exactly the therapy I need as a therapist to start my workweek.

I don’t know why you would mention the U.S election so many times this year in your free weekly and annual (‘24) forecast, tease that you have “more on this, later”…then paywall it. I get it, we’re all surviving capitalism, but ew

Thank you Jessica! I can’t wait for each new episode! Most folks giving negative reviews seem to be Zionist🤷 much love 💕 and lots of respect for speaking up and creating an authentic podcast 💕keep doing what you’re doing 🙏

many thanks to you and the brave recipient of your advice. as a woman of color navigating my own dynamics of the patriarchal influence within relationship, the episode spoke to me deeply. the callers consciousness / awareness of their positionality was disarming yet deepened my empathy. thus allowing the crux of their concern to provide salve to the universal wound of women acknowledging our part, cross cultural and relational definitions, of recognizing the nuance of consent to our conditioning. ((insert applause)))

My favorite astrology podcast - I never miss an episode. I love that she’s obviously very trauma-informed and encourages her listeners to take care of themselves and their nervous systems while navigating the challenging astrology we’re all living through. I also really appreciate that she stands up for the oppressed, including Palestinians. As an anti-Zionist Jew myself I know that she’s risking a lot personally and career-wise speaking out, and the fact that she continues to do so shows a lot of integrity.

Amazing podcast. Thank you Jessica for being You! Her readings are On Point, I always find something to relate to and so much great advice. She is really helping people and she’s super entertaining, too. I love her! I love the astrology, the mediumship and the animal communicating! I haven’t missed an episode in years. I can’t say that about any other podcast.

Thank you for being so responsible.

Episode 467, “Participating in Your Own Harm” was one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever heard, psychodynamically. I’ve lived it, thankfully left it, and hope this may help us all to avoid these patterns in the future. An amazing resource.

I am adopted I actually had a good relationship with my birth parents but it always is perplexing/maddening to me when I see people close to me continue toxic parental relationships when I believe they should be severed. I related to this podcast so deeply. I’m 49years old! Thank you for choosing this topic!!

I used to really like the podcast until she brought in politics in it. Regardless who you are voting for and what party you are from it just seems awkward to be put into it. When it is brought up it feels like it doesn’t fit.

Jessica uses her expertise in astrology to center what it means to be a human on this planet during this time. So much of this podcast is a needed and welcome balm that cuts through the noise of current times to the heart of our humanity. Jessica’s commitment to using astrology ethically and responsibly is refreshing and so desperately wanted. In a time of TikTok astrologers and astrology dripping in capitalism- this podcast strikes a different note- ringing with integrity from the first words to the last.

This podcast is my go-to Astro pod. Jessica has been practicing astrology for a long time and her wisdom comes through. I like her “tell it like it is” way of communicating and the new twice a week format; horoscopes dropping early in the week and an answered listener question mid week. I’ve learned so much from this podcast and also have enjoyed Jessica’s community on Patreon. You want to know this Triple Capricorn! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

I was always very skeptical of astrology and not into it at all until a friend of mine recommended this podcast. I love Jessica and I’m totally into astrology now. I love her straightforwardness and light heartedness. She feels genuine and I always come out with some great nuggets of wisdom to chew on. Big fan!

I learn so much from Jessica and I'm so grateful to have this resource in my life. Simply listening to GoaP is inspiring and expanding for me especially when I'm "going through it."

Want to thank Jessica and the guest of episode 445. This came at the right time. Life-changing. Forever grateful.

Words cannot even express how much this podcast means to me, it’s everything. It’s my guiding light through the storms of life, it’s a gentle reminder to be rooted in my values, a gentle push toward something better. I have been listening to Ghost of a Podcast from the very first episode…through good times and challenging times. I am loyal listener because I get something hopeful from Jessica’s insights even if the reading is for another sign. I like that we get two episodes a week. I also very much enjoy her Patreon; the topics on there are great and correlate with the transits. I signed up because I want more of her content especially through the challenging transits. I’m so glad I became a kitten!! 💯Worth it. Thank you Jessica to you and your partner for putting out quality content every week consistently. And Happy Birthday to your partner!!! I’ve been meaning to write a review for a long time and finally figured out I had to download Apple Podcasts to leave a review. I use Spotify and it only gives you an option to give a 5 star rating but not write a review. Love overdue thank you!!!!!❤️

I love Ghost of a Podcast and have been listening for over four years. Jessica is insightful, compassionate, rigorous in her work and steadfast in her values. I love the weekly forecasts as well as the personal readings. I follow her on patreon & she has been an incredible resource in my learning about all things woo! Lots of love to Jessica & her forever fiancé who work on the pod 💖

Jessica is just brilliant almost unbelievably wise and soulful when she reads people and most especially animals (and gives them the space to have their own quirks rather than be human accessories). I do get a little tired of the preaching - I mean we all have our own roads — and also what feels like an anti (straight) male vibe and saying things like she “hates” JK Rowling because she’s supposed terf. Maybe jk was just asking for a more complicated conversation rather than insisting trans women are the exact same as actual women? I wish she’d take her own advice and not demonize anyone who doesn’t completely fall in lock step. You know what Yeats said about passionate intensity… still a lovely wise person all in all - though I'm for whole signs ;) 💜 I also want to say what a heart Jessica has for the world

it's the "don't get used to it" when referring to "good" transits for me.

ive been listening (and deep diving into historic episodes) for the last year. wow. what a light on compassionate capri-dadding: to her individual reading clients, to listeners as individuals, to the global energy shifts happening to all of us. what a nuanced, layered, and complicated way to show up in the world. thank you for roll modeling your humanity, empathy, and expectations of yourself and of us. i get so much out of almost Every episode💕

I’ve been listening for more than two years now and I don’t miss an episode. I’ve also learned so much from listening to the earlier episodes when I’m waiting for new ones to release (checkout the 2020 year ahead if you’re on the fence about whether Jessica or astrology is the real deal or not). Jessica has taught me about astrology, where to learn more, and has made astrology a tool that I use in my mental and spiritual well being practice. I know myself better because of this podcast and my relationships have improved because of this podcast. The difficult aspects of life don’t feel so lonely and I feel more equipped to make the most out of my career in community organizing. Knowing that the world, or our country, is on a ride together makes being empathetic to others easier and is a chef’s kiss to my background in Psychology. They should have taught astrology in my graduate program!

Such a solid astrology podcast! Thank you for keeping it real and addressing the nuance of systemic oppression amidst the astro weather. BLESS!

I love Jessica’s perspective on astrology. She somehow provides actionable insights into the transits for the week and how they may affect you personally while also sharing a broader global, community based perspective all in a way that is pleasant to listen to and easy to digest while driving or whatever else you may be doing while listening. I also support her patreon for the monthly overviews + tons of other content!
