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

My favorite astrology pod
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!

Irresponsible hateful hack
Jessica is an irresponsible astrologer. She spews lies about ethnic groups and thinks it’s so so cute. For real astrologers: Pam Gregory. Chris Brennan

Limited Time
Would love a way to subscribe to the astrology-only episodes instead of having to manually delete all the advice episodes from my feed. Please make a separate feed for those of us who don’t have the time to listen to all the personal chart reading episodes and just want the relevant horoscopes!

Take what you love, leave what you don’t
Jessica brings such a progressive and community-minded perspective to the world of astrology that I haven’t heard from many other astrologers (I’m sure there are more like her out there!). I appreciate her eloquence, and her words of acknowledgement regarding the injustices of our world feel like a hug. There is no such thing as perfect activism, so my words of advice for those who listen but feel there is something lacking… take what you love, leave what you don’t. You too have a platform, no matter if it’s smaller than Jessica’s; use it to speak on the issues and viewpoints that resonate most with you! I repeat: there is no perfect activism. We are all in this together and we’re all teaching each other so long as there is respect and sensitivity involved. 💚

Astrology and Justice focused - yes
I have been listening to Ghost of a Podcast for years and it is an essential part of my weekend and week. Firstly, I have learned so much about astrology for her. Secondly, I have learned so much about social justice from her. Thirdly, I have learned so much about myself. Her weekly readings always leave me with a question of something she shared that is applicable to me. I now know about intercepts. I don’t feel so alone. Thank you Jessica!

LOVE THIS POD
I haven’t found many spaces in the woo where they are loud about worldly topics. And the way Jessica shows up is real. I just want to say for anyone being overly critical. Firstly, how she chooses to show up first of all makes her human. And there can’t be healing on holding onto colonial patriarchal perfectionism ways. Divisiveness will no longer work moving forward if we want a better world. We are all fighting the good fight the best way we know how, and improving and bettering day by day. Humility has its utility. Second if she can’t be what you want her to be, then be what you want her to be. Show ppl how to show up instead of talk talk talking. It’s getting old…

Great Astrology Content But Too Much Selective Activism
I listen to this podcast religiously and I appreciate how well Jessica synthesizes astrology into a language we can all understand. However, her discussion of the horrific atrocities happening around the world bothers me, not because of how long she talks about this topic, but because of how selective she is in what she talks about. Week after week, she goes on and on about what’s happening in Gaza which should definitely be talked about. However, if she really wants to use her platform to spread awareness (as she says), maybe she should talk about other atrocities that aren’t already being heavily covered by the media, such as the fact that Haiti is falling apart as a nation at this very moment. I’m only saying this because she has said more than once that she wants to use her podcast as a platform - I’m simply suggesting that she uses it as a platform for issues that aren’t being covered by every other media outlet out there already. I know there is so much happening in the world but when she constantly chooses to only focus on a few things, it feels like selective activism. Either acknowledge everything that’s happening or acknowledge nothing and stick to astrology

Insightful!!!
I love Jessica’s point of view of the world and personal insight. I actually don’t believe in astrology (I can’t see it and I don’t mean my five senses) but, I do believe in empathy and psychic ability. And somehow, I see a part of myself in almost all of her guests! And I absolutely love her animal readings which have given me a better understanding of my cats! I always refer to Jessica as “my psychic”!

Amazing but not without flaws
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 ;) 💜

Great show. Thank you for your insights. Excellent Pisces autobiographical comments. Haven’t heard them fess up like that before. Mature 💕

Incredible intuitive
The Wednesday shows are so insightful and entertaining while the Monday shows are a liberal soapbox mixed with the most depressing weekly astrological perspective. I’ve stopped listening to the Monday shows and thoroughly enjoy the Wednesday shows, hence the 4 stars.

JESSICA FOREVER
First of all Jessica as an astrologer THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for constantly zooming out and discussing politics and bringing that into your podcast — I struggle with the exact same greater zeitgeist issues just like I struggle with my personal life’s. She is well spoken and caring and blazing about the world and it makes me LOVE her as an astrologer. She knows SO MUCH about SO MUCH. PLEASEEE continue to bring politics into it and ignore the naysayers. You’re awesome and you’re often the EXACT message from the universe I need.

Not good
As someone that works in harm reduction I have noticed that almost every episode Jessica says that now is not a good time to use consciousness raising drugs. I’ve liked this podcast a lot but unless u are Ronald Regan era no fear based anti drugs how could it be that the stars are consistently saying now is a bad time to do mushrooms etc. I highly doubt it. Other than that I have liked this show but this in itself is a good enough reason to think that Jessica probably has some personal bias that is coming out in the show that honestly reads as judgmental and cringe. I will no longer be listening to this show.

love it wow!
Mixed
In some ways a wonderful podcast — she has some stellar insights on relationship, the psyche, trans personal dynamics and archetypes — but she is 9000% better when she doesn’t talk about (in her words) “the world at large.” Those are an almost automatic click-off for me.

Deeply disappointed
I loved this podcast so much at one point. Listened religiously. But the way jessica has handled the Genocide in Palestine has been really disappointing. For someone who is incredibly critical of the right-wing in the USA and the rise of ethnofacism in the US; she has been very gentle and soft on the occupying settler colony of ‘Israel’ and an apologist for Zionism. Learning she has ties to the occupying entity made it make more sense. It’s the selective outrage and firm stance on all facisms excluding the one that she is implicated in. Sad! Very sad because I’ve gained so much from her wisdom. I know we are all but human— so I do hope she reflects on this, but her privilege is showing through the cherry-picking of outrage. Free Palestine, forever.

This Podcast Has Held Me
I love this podcast too much lol! Especially the readings with listeners — I’ve taken away so many gems and lessons and new practices to try for my own well being. As a Jewish listener, this podcast has provided so much comfort during this time in Palestine / Israel and I find Jessica’s perspective to be a refreshing reminder that we must unite and find the humanity in one another. ❤️

The best astrology podcast
I have been listening to GOAP for several years and what I appreciate most about it is the way that Jessica is frank but caring in her delivery of astrological news and how it relates to the world at large. She creates a safe space for listeners, no matter where they’re from.
well-rounded
THE BEST
Jessica’s knowledge of astrology is deep and nuanced. But what keeps me coming back to this podcast every single week is how she connects it to our humanity. Her compassion, wisdom, and accessibility are truly unmatched. She is here for all our liberation, and I don’t just mean social justice movements, but also our internal revolutions. And she’s funny and a joy to listen to! I’m so grateful to have found this podcast to help me make sense of this crazy world.

Love the insight! Highly recommend!
For anyone interested in astrology, I highly recommend Ghost of a Podcast. Jesica’s insight week after week helps me to understand the world around me on a deeper level. She also does an amazing job of explaining complex astrology and making it easy to understand a relatable. Thanks for such a great podcast!

I listen to this podcast twice a week and love Jessica’s compassion, commitment to justice, insight and humor.

Hilarious, honest, & critically conscious
I love Jessica’s offerings so much and look forward to both the Sunday and mid-week episodes each week. I deeply appreciate Jessica’s humanistic approach to astrology and her commitment to centering and actively advocating for marginalized folks, including those impacted by racism, colonization, imperialism, and queer/transphobia. I’ve learned a ton about transits & energetics through listening to this podcast and I look forward to continue learning from Jessica 💓

Not safe for Jewish listeners
Jessica Lanyadoo’s podcast is not a safe space for Jewish listeners. She actively promotes false narratives about the Jewish people and Israel. Please protect yourself if you are a Jewish listener, it’s very triggering and painful.

All time favorite
absolute favorite podcast! great for astro nerds and people who want to learn, but also great for people like me who don’t care to understand everything about astrology, and are just here for the wisdom. the emotional intelligence, guidance, kindness that jessica shares with her guests of diverse identities and experiences has touched me and taught me in more ways than i can count! every episode something hits home for me, i feel like i learn something new about myself and feel less alone in the things i discover. would give 10 stars if i could!

The best western astrology podcast out here
Its true!!! I’ve been into astrology for over 10 years and have never found a more consistently helpful, knowledgable, and enjoyable podcast. If you're into western astrology but tired of terf takes and inaccessible resources (read: i-have-the-knowledge-that-i will-hoard-and-trickle-out-only-so-much-as-to-maintain-that-power-dynamic) - this is the podcast for you! Jessica is so knowledgable and good at explaining things and sharing takes that help to shatter fear and cultivate acceptance. Having our own relationship to the stars is all of our birthright and JL really gets that! <3

The best
Even if you don’t believe in astrology you’ll still benefit from this podcast— which is full of all kinds of interesting topics, viewpoints and no-nonsense advice and no B.S. Thanks Jessica. Grateful for your podcast.

My all time FAVORITE podcast
Not only has Jessica taught me so much about astrology through her podcast, but I have learned an inconceivable amount about the human condition, and how to live in a more compassionate and authentic way. Listening to her podcast always makes me feel so much less alone in the world. She is truly such a gift! If you ever get the chance to have a reading with her TAKE IT!! My reading with her last year opened up my life in so many beautiful ways. Thank you, Jessica!!

Best astrology podcast!
As my dear friend who recommended this podcast said, Jessica is a gift to this world. She has so much wisdom and shares it eloquently, clearly, and with humility. She enables people to use astrology to show up as the best of version of themselves. She doesn’t shy away from hard things, but avoids being too doom and gloom. Educational, authentic and practical.

Must listen
I listen to Jessica for insight, motivation and WISDOM. She is a voice of conscience and a guide post in this wild time we’re all living in. I have learned so much about myself through her show and at times when I struggle to comprehend this world she fortifies and reminds that the mission is love. So much love for her and this reliably brilliant show

A weekly staple for me for years
This is the best podcast a Capricorn has ever made in the history of history! Her weekly episodes help add so much insight and context into my day to day life living in this crazy world.

Ghost of a Blissful Routine
Ghost of a Podcast is now a must in my weekly routine. I love tuning in to it on Sundays, sipping coffee, making notes in my planner, and hearing Jessica chat about the upcoming week. It's like treating myself to a delicious cookie—it just feels good. Jessica's wisdom guides me, and I feel lucky to have it. I often share her insights with friends. Happy birthday, here’s to more Ghost and thank you Jessica!

Better than my doctorate degree in psychology
I’ve been listening for almost 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!

Listen!
I get so much valuable astrological information from Jessica every week. What makes this podcast stand out from others is her deep knowledge and expertise coupled with a fun and playful delivery. Jessica cares honestly about what impacts the world and the human types who live in it. I’ve been listening for years and it’s absolutely become a goto podcast. Do not miss.

So grateful!
Not just because it’s your birthday, promise…I am just diving back into astrology in my 43rd year, as I reconnect with my woo, and your style has been such a perfect fit for me! Jessica is grounded, nuanced, deeply knowledgeable, a gifted intuitive, and just really f’n real. A pleasure to listen to! In learning a little as I go, and feeling like I can take some practical cues from each episode. Thanks again! And happy 49th!

I am so grateful for Jessica's incredible life advice, astrological insight and unapologetic woo. I look forward to Sunday’s forecast every week. It’s by far the best astrology podcast I listen to! Thank you, thank you 💗

How to hold Multitudes
I have been listening and learning from Jessica for years and years. And I’m still here! Because how and what she continues to share is fertile, authentic, and real. I am so grateful for the guidance and encouragement to show up, hold the paradox that is life these days, and stay true to myself, my humanity and my spiritual nature. She keeps teaching how to tend to myself and others with integrity and good boundaries. Thank you Jessica for all you pour into us as your community, I appreciate you.

Jessica gave me a reading a few months back
Even before Jessica aired our reading - I was taken by how intentional she is. From the products she endorses , to the way she’s inclusive of gender/ race / class and knowledge of astrology. She’s thorough, articulate and funny. And her voice works as a calming balm for me these days. Jessica activates my Capricorn stellium in the best way and my Sagittarius Venus thanks her deeply for the work and care she puts into this show !!!! Keep up the amazing work, Jessica !

Great show
I am just recently getting into astrology and Jessica makes it interesting. She’s compassionate and reasonable and seems to have a really good head on her shoulders.
Fascinating stuff
All love
I look forward to each and every podcast episode and walk away with a little nugget of insight and hope. Ghost is a special corner of the virtual world for me and centers love, self reflection, and hot planetary tips!

Love this podcast!
Jessica gives great advice from a practical and humane perspective. She always helps me look at things from a different vantage point. I look forward to every episode!

FABULOUS, A++, but please—
Apple, I beg of you, if any podcast necessitates more playback speed options, it’s this one! Lanyadoo is brilliant, and when she’s channeling she talks impossibly fast. Please, I beg of you, give us 0.5x, maybe even 0.25x. This is TOO MUCH.

Happy birthday week

Such grounding info
I’ve been listening to Jess for almost a year now- I really enjoy her down to earth style (she’s a triple Cap, y’all- she can’t help herself)- and clear way of sharing information. I look forward to her episode drops every week. Happy birthday to Jess and cheers!

Covid is over.
Covid is over and has been for a long time. I liked this podcast but cannot get past the hosts absurd insistence that covid is still going on as 2024 starts. Its been over for almost a year. The medical community is not recommending masks anymore she is the only one.
