Important Notes

ACCESSIBILITY: all instructional videos with decks are subtitled/closed captioned in US English (using Powerpoint’s auto-subtitle functionalities).

FYI. I developed this course in early 2021. I've continued to grow in my practice since then, but still consider the ideas in this course foundational to my orientation when it comes to the writer's birth chart.

GO AT YOUR OWN PACE. Please note that this is not a live class with personalized feedback. While the course was initially taught that way, I have now distilled it into a comprehensive, self-paced independent study with pre-recorded videos and accompanying prompts and workbooks so you can work at your own speed, on your own time. This also requires that you collaborate with the material. If you prefer or learn best through an interactive setting, or if you are a true 101 astro beginner, this may not be the course for you.

EASE. No more Dropbox links or having to walk through difficulty with downloads! The course is hosted here on Podia, where you have permanent access.

SELF-DISCOVERY. This course is built to prioritize your own journey through your birth chart as you learn about how your chart works for you, the writer. Again, if you are more interested in having a professional tell you exactly what you are looking for in your chart, or if you are brand spanking new to astrology, I strongly encourage you to book a birth chart reading first. 

Testimonials

"Jeanna's class was really helpful in terms of helping me realize not just when and how my writing happened, but also that there was no moral valence or certain writing that counted "more" than others as I was creating my writing routine and life of a writer. Writing in my journal counts, notes on what I'm reading counts, essays count, working on my book counts—it's all writing that goes towards making me a writer with a practice." — Alejandra Oliva, author of Rivermouth

"I come back to this class all the time. Jeanna's explanations of everything - from house to sign to planet to aspect - are so clear and distilled that I can count on gaining meaning whenever I'm looking at a new chart or studying an aspect of my own. Her metaphors for the signs through the seasons are a core part of how I understand and apply them." — Melissa L., songwriter and game facilitator

"Astrology for Writers’ affirmed my passion for writing, storytelling, and astrology and I’m so glad I took it. The work I’ve done in this class has prompted invaluable and critical self-reflection on my life as a writer. Jeanna’s expertise and guidance have helped me to feel more confident in my voice, and more unafraid of speaking my truth." — Roslyn Talusan

"Jeanna’s Astrology for Writers class gave me permission to write about the things I feel compelled to write about in the way that feels natural to me. I no longer feel embarrassed about not having the same process all writers are “supposed to” have. I feel free to relax into the writing life I was born for, and that is an incredible gift." — Becky Bullard

"Jeanna’s expertise in and passion for astrology and writing are undeniable. The knowledge I gained in this class allowed me to shed preconceived notions of what I was supposed to be doing as a writer and really embrace what would work best for me based on my astrology. Jeanna gave me insights into my chart that I honestly don’t think I would have gotten anywhere else. I would recommend this class to anyone who is struggling with how to make a writing life that makes sense for them." — Tarah Ruff

"This class helped me to consider what is most essential to me as a writer and gave me more avenues to connect my writing and magical practices. It’s helped me to regain my writing momentum in some very foundational ways. Jeanna is a wonderful teacher. Her class is inclusive, thoughtful, and filled with ideas, inspirations, and further resources. It was a truly magical experience!" — Miranda Schmidt

"Take this class. You owe it to yourself to finally understand how YOU work. There is so much content in the world about how to write and what your goals as a writer should be. Yet, none of it compares to the wisdom you will gain by looking inward and understanding your birth chart. After taking Astrology for Writers, I gained clarity on my purpose as a writer as well as the confidence to pursue it. However, the most fulfilling thing that I walked away with was a deep sense of compassion, acceptance, and self-love for the unique process I need and have to write my best work. In all honesty, every writer, no matter where they are in their career, should make the time to take this class with Jeanna. It is THAT remarkable." — Luna Damiana

"This class! Jeanna is an excellent teacher who organizes information in a way that’s accessible and thought provoking. I came away from every lesson with a new understanding of my chart and my creative work. For me, Astrology for Writers was a permission slip, a challenge, and an invitation to use the realities of who I am and how I work to make my writing life work for me." — Chelsee B.

"Jeanna is a thoughtful and generous teacher and an astrologer steadfast in her commitment to rigorous self-examination and loving acceptance of whatever it is you uncover. Her course helped me reconnect with the writer within and will shape my work for years to come." — Eleanor Cummins

"Jeanna’s class was so helpful to provide insight and self awareness not only as a person who aspires to write, but also as a human being who needs to function in a world founded on sharing words with others. I am now in a love affair with my birth chart and my multi-faceted creative process. I know what to write, how to write it, and why I need to do so. I now have words on paper." — Nicole K.
