Still My Favorite Astrology Pod

Veronica is one of the clearest astrologers out there. She is able to relate complex astrology in a very succinct way, and she doesn’t over-predict. I find her interpretations to be very accurate and helpful for navigating life.

one of my favorites

I’ve been listening for years! Veronica, I love how sensible you make astrology. How you relate it to your own life, as well, is validating for those of us who also feel the intensity of energies. So glad you’re back on a weekly basis :).
