“For me, psychology is the study of the soul, and astrology provides a map for it. Yet I strongly believe that with proper guidance and unwavering dedication, anyone can tap into their divine knowledge and use their inner wisdom to live a fully expressed and meaningful life,” says the incomparable Jennifer Freed, a psychological astrologer, bestselling author, and lifelong educator in social and emotional wellbeing. Her latest book, *A Map to Your Soul*, was released on October 4, 2022, and is available in both digital and audio formats.

Born in New York City, Jennifer’s father was a Broadway actor, and her mother worked in public relations. The family moved to Los Angeles for her father’s Hollywood career, and from a young age, Jennifer developed a fascination with astrology, despite no one in her circle sharing the same interest. A pivotal moment occurred at the age of 19 when she had her first astrological consultation with Alvina Manning, an experience that profoundly shaped her understanding of herself and ignited her passion for astrology.

Jennifer went on to study psychology, earning a master’s degree while immersing herself in astrology, reading hundreds of books on the subject. In her 30s, she founded astrological counseling seminars with friends, creating a training center for those eager to learn astrology from global experts.

“Eventually, I earned my PhD in psychology and became a certified astrologer through ISAR. I also became a national trauma consultant in EMDR, helping hundreds of clients transform their pain into resilience,” Jennifer shares.

She merged her expertise in astrology and psychology, working as a psychological astrologer. “This involved using clients’ birth charts to understand their challenges and strengths, while applying psychological tools to help them develop their talents and work through their obstacles,” she explains.

In 1999, Jennifer and her partner Randy launched a nonprofit focused on educating teens, parents, and teachers about healthy relationships. They also led a team that provided social and emotional development training to people from diverse backgrounds.

Jennifer proudly states, “For the past 23 years, we’ve engaged thousands of teens, exploring creative ways to reduce prejudice, manage emotions, boost social awareness, and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

As an experienced psychotherapist, Jennifer has a deep understanding of the inner workings of couples, individuals, and families. As an astrologer, she deciphers the intricate patterns of a person’s psyche, revealing their soul’s map.

Over the past seven years, Jennifer has written numerous articles on social and emotional development, astrology, and psychological astrology, culminating in her bestselling book *Use Your Planets Wisely*.

At the heart of her work, what Jennifer calls her “sacred crew”—her partner, family, colleagues, and friends—has always kept her grounded and inspired. Whether guiding disenfranchised youth or famous celebrities, she feels privileged to help others recognize their unique gifts and embrace a life of gratitude and purpose.
