Hi everyone,
In case you missed it, I recorded an incredibly fun podcast with the brilliant Pam Grossman over at The Witch Wave. To the new folks who have found me through Pam: Welcome! Thrilled to have you here.
Registration for my course Astrology for Writers: How to Make Your Writing Work For You is up in less than two weeks, and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew the basics before doors closed! More below.
Lots of love,
Jeanna
Most of the birth chart readings I give are to other writers and creative folks, and most of the questions we address center around the same questions:
Can I actually make money doing this? (see also: I don’t trust that I can make money doing this / I haven’t made money doing this / I am making money doing this, but I’m not sure I’ll keep making money doing this?)
How do I find a writing/artistic routine that actually works with my schedule? What the fuck is the secret? Getting up early/writing every day/“morning pages”/[fill in the blank] doesn’t work. I’ve tried everything. I’m inconsistent. Everyone else seems to have it figured out except me. Help?
I feel pressured to make or create X, but Y is what I really want to do.
The starting point — if not the full-fledged answer to these questions — is in your birth chart. And because these questions come up so frequently with clients, and because I’ve seen the freedom and joy that can be unlocked when addressing these questions through the lens of astrology, I decided to teach a course.

Astrology for Writers: How to Make Your Writing Work for You is a four-week course dedicated to unpacking, understanding, and restructuring your writing process and career goals in a way that is aligned with your core settings — which is to say, with your astrological makeup.
Over the course of four weeks this coming February, we are going to spend time going over:
Your Story & Your Mythology
Let’s talk about your core settings & beliefs about who & what a writer “is” — and the yardsticks you’re using to measure yourself
Your Livelihood & Your Fears
Let’s talk about money, how you’re making it, and how you could be making it
Your Brand & Your Evolution
Let’s talk about brand, being in public, and social media, and how to understand your relationship to those things in a way that doesn’t induce imposter syndrome
Your Goals & Your Legacy
Let’s talk about your long-term goals (material and immaterial) and the impact you want to have, both for yourself and your work
The course includes:
Four live, 90-minute classes on Zoom, currently slated for every Sunday afternoon (ET) in February 2021 (Feb 7, 14, 21, & 28)
Short, pre-recorded videos sent before each session to supplement the material and set up the discussion
Reading lists & “homework” sent after each session to supplement your deep dive into the material (optional and entirely for your own use)
Group Office Hours on Zoom to discuss and digest the coursework (optional)
Jeanna is exactly what you want in an astrologer for (gasp, sorry) writers. I felt seen, pwned, inspired, challenged, mildly insulted, and she is already in my book acknowledgements. I love her.
- Nicole Cliffe, Writer & Co-Founder of The Toast
Jeanna has an innate understanding of what it takes to be a creative professional because she is one herself; she speaks so kindly about how astrology intersects with not just art, but artistic process. This reading was super affirming of my own rhythms as a writer. I definitely cried after.
- A.E. Osworth, author of the forthcoming WE ARE WATCHING ELIZA BRIGHT
My reading with Jeanna was so much more than her walking me through my chart — it was a conversation. Jeanna truly wanted to know how I interpreted the wisdom she was imparting, so we could work together to find deeper and richer meaning. I left our conversation feeling refreshed and refocused — it was one of the best things I did for myself this year.
-Christina Grace, Podcaster & Writer
