In this episode, we take astrology beyond the clichés. Jen breaks down why your chart is more than “I’m a Leo” or “I’m such a Capricorn,” while Jake asks the questions everyone’s secretly wondering but too afraid to say out loud. We explore how rising signs shape first impressions, why moon signs hold your emotional blueprint, and how astrology can actually explain the messiness of human connection.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why your rising sign might describe you better than your sun

  • How moon signs reveal emotional patterns you can’t always explain

  • The difference between surface-level horoscopes and deep chart work

  • Jen’s wisdom on chart dynamics, compatibility, and cosmic lessons

  • Jake’s skeptical-but-curious questions that keep things grounded (and hilarious)

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at horoscopes but secretly wanted to know more, this episode is for you.

Content Note: Contains frank discussion of astrology, identity, and self-reflection.

I live at the intersection of technology, team dynamics, and making work (and life) smarter. Whether it’s optimizing workflows, testing the latest gadgets, or figuring out the perfect balance between automation and human connection, I’m always exploring ways to make things more efficient, engaging, and future-proof.

If it plugs in, powers on, or needs a strategy behind it, I’m probably already two steps ahead by breaking it down, testing its limits, and finding ways to make it work better.
