The full moon in Taurus is going to kick up big emotions, as all full moons do, but that's not the only thing to be on the lookout for this week! There are both challenges and supportive aspects to Venus and Mars, summoning you to show up in ways that reflect your values instead of just your defenses.
In this special episode of Ghost, Jessica shares two posts from her Patreon, exploring the very sensitive topic of what happens when you die from her perspective as a Medium.
The astrology of October 26th through November 1st brings challenges that are worth facing — a Mercury opposition to Uranus as well as a Venus opposition to Chiron are meant to confront you with what you really think and the value that your convictions have. Make sure to tap into the several supportive, expansive, and grounding transits from Mercury and Mars to support you throughout it all.
As the world swiftly changes, it can be difficult to reorient in parental relationships, especially when worldviews wildly diverge. A listener wants to repair her relationship with her father, who is dying, but she isn't sure that time will allow for it. How to let go and love deeply at the same time?
The New Moon in Libra will bring with it opportunities for major healing, but it will also trigger major feelings. The astrology of this week stays intense with Jupiter and Chiron forming a square after Mercury and Mars meet up in very intense Scorpio. By the week's end, the Sun and Pluto clash, and it's a real recipe for intensity and drama—if you're not careful. Per usual, Jessica gives her practical advice for coping with it all.
Yoni and her partner have a non-monogamous agreement, but historically Yoni is the only one who has acted on it. Now her partner is getting in on the action, and it's triggering challenging emotions and behaviors in Yoni. She wants to do better by their relationship, and Jessica helps her investigate the workings of her heart.
Jessica unpacks the ongoing Saturn conjunction to Neptune and its effects both personally and collectively. This week's horoscope will kick up major identity crises and boundary issues, starting with a Venus opposition to Neptune and ending with a Sun opposition to Chiron. Aligning with your values and showing up is the best medicine for this week.
"P" wants to be able to show up in these rocky times and hold space in difficult conversations but she finds it difficult to do when met with the perceived expectation of "getting everything right" - especially in political conversations. Jessica helps her unpack her anxieties and find strategies for showing up, whether she gets it right not!
The urgency of the October 6th Full Moon in Aries may have you feeling reactive and a little on edge, but the potential for aligning with your agency is powerful. Watch out for compulsive thoughts triggered by the Mercury square to Pluto on the 7th and insecurities kicked off by the Venus opposition to Saturn on the 11th.
Enjoy this episode from 2020! There are so many house systems, and it can be confusing to understand what they're about and how to choose what's right for you. On this week's revisited Astrology Hot Takes™, Jessica speaks with Astrology University's Tony Howard, who breaks it all down.
This week there are only two transits from Mercury, the planet of friendship, communication, and ideas. Tune in for your weekly report on the stars.
"Howdy's'' biggest fear in life is being stagnant. They often feel like days and weeks vanish, and years fly by. How can they ensure life doesn't pass them by and that time doesn't just slip away?
The Solar Eclipse in Virgo is here, and it's meant to bring up big emotions and to activate your discernment. The Sun sits opposite to Neptune, kicking up anxieties, and Mars is square to Pluto, activating anger and defensiveness.
It's another animal communication episode! "Carmen" co-parents her human daughter and her dog Coco with her ex. While their daughter has adjusted well to the change, Coco has been having a harder time. Jessica checks in with Coco the dog to make sure she feels loved and supported through this transition.
As we build up to the Solar Eclipse in Virgo, emotions are running high and the transits are coming in hot. Mars and Chiron clash, Mercury and and the Sun sit opposite to Saturn in Pisces, and Venus and Uranus square off. Luckily there are supportive transits to help you stay the course. It's a busy week in the stars — find out about the challenges and resources in this week's episode of Ghost!
"Capoosi" has a bad habit of putting men's feelings and perspectives above her own. She and Jessica explore this pattern, what's she's getting out of it, and how she can start centering her own needs first.
The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on the 7th wants something simple from you: to feel your feelings. In this episode Jessica breaks down the chart of the Eclipse and gives you advice for how to make the most of it. For her free 40 minute talk on the Eclipse visit https://tinyurl.com/2956vr9w
As we build up to the deeply emotional September 7th Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, the stars have revved things up! Mercury clashes with Uranus, creating disruptions and bringing about the unexpected, while Mars and Jupiter square off, egging on action — and reactiveness.

"Mitzy" is just wrapping up a life-changing project, and she wants to know what's in store next. Jessica has some tough Neptunian news to deliver, as creating spaciousness is on the ticket. Tune in for more on Mitzy's once-in-a-lifetime transit!
The week starts with a disruptive Sun square to Uranus that is meant to create disruptions, and then Venus transits Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Expect relationships, values, and self-worth issues to be activated! Jessica touches on Pluto going out-of-bounds and other important collective shifts—and how to navigate them.
"Lorena" believes in community and wants to continue to show up for hers, but as an overwhelmed Angeleno, she is facing burnout amid the fires and political terrors impacting her friends, family and the city at large. She finds herself playing therapist to others' personal and collective traumas, and as much as she wants to keep showing up, is looking for more sustainable ways.
Tap into your value system and powers of discernment this week, as Chiron gets activated by the Sun and Venus and we step into the New Moon in Virgo.
P.J. loves love! She wants to experience more of it, but her relationships have been few and turbulent. Jessica dives in to P.J.'s love nature and how she can step into it for true fulfillment.
