How Celebrity Astrologer Jennifer Freed Turned Astrology Into a Novel
Dr. Jennifer Freed interveiwed by Lisa Stardust for TODAY, June 2, 2025
Can astrology inspire a fiction novel? For celebrity astrologer Jen Freed, the answer is yes.
When writing her first novel, “Beyond Aquarius,” published in February, Freed tells TODAY.com she used her career as both a therapist and astrologer to inform the distinctive storyline.
The book incorporates astrology using an innovative approach, where each chapter is inspired by a specific astrological transit or terminology. (As an astrologer myself, I can say it's a rarity to find astrology woven into the fictional storyline in this way.)
In the book, Cam and Jules, two total opposites, meet at a yoga retreat and don't immediately connect as friends. However, as the story evolves, the two end up staying in touch until unexpected events summon them back into each other’s lives again.
Actor Jane Lynch, one of Freed’s clients, described the book as “star-crossed lovers but with astrological lessons and a magical conclusion” in a review Freed shared with TODAY.com.
Do You Have a “Sacred Crew”? Why Psychological Astrologer Jennifer Freed Says We'll Need Each Other More than Ever in 2023
Dr. Jennifer Freed for Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, December 10, 2022
In 2023, we will all be called to be more active participants in the healing of this country and this planet. Divisiveness and despair have given rise to massive anxiety, despair, hate, and deep divides in our union. For the well-being of all life, we need to join in a unified purpose of stewardship for all existence, human and non-human. For each of us to be more effective in delivering our specific talents, gifts, and energy towards this purpose, we will all need to be surrounded by a sacred crew.
Our sacred crew is more than just the folks we count on and the ideas about closeness that we cherish. A sacred crew involves another layer: clarity about the spoken and unspoken agreements between us. What do we mean when we say we are connected? What does it mean to be close? What does support look like? It has become crystal clear in this sped-up
and ever-complex world that many of us have different and unspoken narratives around these questions.
What People Who Age Beautifully Have in Common
Dr. Jennifer Freed for goop, July 13, 2022
If we are among the lucky, aging is inevitable. Any consideration of its alternative—early death—helps us recognize how completely the current debate about “anti-aging” or “pro-aging” misses the essential point.
No matter how much we do to appear youthful or feel younger, age will embrace us and death will come. This was just as difficult for me to sit with as it may be for you, until I realized what truly matters: vitality.
Vitality is an energy of engagement, gratitude, and aliveness. It is a blended sweet spot of pleasure, purpose, and meaning.
Without luscious, plump pleasure, our lives are parched and arid. Without a sense of contribution and purpose, our lives feel flat and untethered. Without a rubric of meaning, our lives can feel empty and prone to hopelessness and despair.
When we are chock-full of pleasure, fulfilled by our efforts and contributions and saturated in a daily sense of meaning, we experience a thrumming, receptive sensitivity: a kind of soul fitness.

Do you suffer well?
There is no doubt that life involves profound suffering, no matter who you are. Despite some new age knuckleheads who will sell you on eternal unblemished happiness, there is simply no real evidence that humans can avoid suffering. It is not a failure to suffer. We were literally built to…
