About the author
Jennifer Freed writes on psychological astrology, work described in her books' own material as blending astrological framework with psychotherapeutic practice. A Map to Your Soul (Rodale Books, 2022) uses the four classical elements, fire, earth, air, and water, as a structure for understanding temperament and behavior, and became a bestseller in Canada. Use Your Planets Wisely (St. Martin's Essentials / Sounds True), first published in 2020 and reissued in 2022, applies the same psychological-astrology approach to the full birth chart, planet by planet. Freed's publishers identify her as goop's resident psychological astrologer, and her books carry endorsements from figures including Glennon Doyle and Gwyneth Paltrow. Her books are written for readers already comfortable with astrology's vocabulary who want it paired with a psychological, self-reflective framework rather than predictive or fortune-telling claims.
