Get... within orb!

Within Orb is our premiere podcast dedicated to exploring the books and texts that have changed our lives, as we grow our astrological practice. Tune in every week to hear our host and founder, Jenn Zahrt, interview a new voice in the field about the books (not always astrological!) that changed how they work with celestial arts.

We hope you enjoy these deep dives into the texts that shape how we think and work with the starry firmament here on Earth
