Whether you’re an astrology enthusiast or not, Maeve’s appearances with various people in history makes this highly entertaining. This is not your “Tell me your birthday and I’ll know everything about you” version of astrology; rather, it’s the story of a first-century Irish queen traveling through time and trying to understand astrology and the world.... full review

Clever, entertaining, and educational, Jennifer takes you on an (often inebriated) trip through astrological history. Weaving ancient Irish mythology, American foreign policy, and a few funny, fictitious anecdotes, she not only explains some astrology fundamentals but also deftly illustrates how political astrology actually is. Whether it’s the Czar of Russia or Nancy Reagan, the rich and powerful have always used astrology to try to predict the future, and Jennifer does a great job at shedding light on their motives and hypocrisies. If you’re into woo, astrology, history, or CIA operations that are so far-fetch they sound like conspiracy theories, this is the show for you! ... full review

It was funny, sincere, a refreshing perspective on astrology, key historical moments and colonialism. She really drew me in with her compassion, humor, passion and heartache and leaves you with hope. ... full review
