Books
Jessica Shepherd is an astrologer, intuitive guide, teacher, artist, and the author of five books, including A Love Alchemist’s Notebook and Venus Signs. For more than two decades, her work has helped people reconnect with their inner wisdom, embrace sensitivity as strength, and cultivate lives rooted in greater clarity, self-trust, and authentic alignment.
Blending astrology, intuitive development, energy awareness, embodiment, and personal transformation, Jessica invites people to slow down, listen inward, and remember who they truly are beneath the noise of modern life. Grounded, compassionate, and deeply empowering, she offers practical pathways for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change.
Based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, Jessica creates across multiple platforms through her writing, teaching, podcasting, and movement practices.
She is the host of the Soft Human Voice podcast, creator of Soft Human Words on Substack, and founder of Soft Human Movement, where she shares qigong, embodiment, and nervous system support practices.
Whether through books, courses, readings, or creative offerings, Jessica’s work centers on one essential truth: your sensitivity, intuition, and inner knowing are not weaknesses to overcome, but profound strengths to reclaim and remember. Her mission is to help others return to themselves with greater softness, strength, and trust.

KDP/Amazon Terminated My Account (I AM more powerful than Amazon)
Last week, I received an email from KDP that read: We are terminating your account effective immediately because we found that you have published titles with misleading content that have the potential to mislead or defraud our customers. I was working on a revision of my book A Love Alchemist’s Notebook: Magical Secrets for Drawing Your True Love...
I’ve Been Ghosted
I’ve been ghosted, and I am finally ready to write about it. Long before this term became popular, or I knew what it meant…I was hurt in this way. We were best friends. Close. We had been in one another’s pockets. Then, one day, nothing. And nothing, for weeks, and then for months. To be fair, my friend had experienced a traumatic situation which...
WOMB Time: Winter Solstice
I’ve been working on sidling up to this time of year. I tend to feel the energetic contrast between the strong pull inward, and the additional hustle and bustle that gets added to my plate. This can cause me to feel I’m in a tug of war. On one side: The pull to go inward is soooo strong. And, the other: I’m getting ready for houseguests (my...
Mistakes (& Liz Gilbert’s Letters From Love)
I don’t know if you have ever noticed this, but I certainly do: I think I’m having a very personal experience but then I find out another Healer is having an eerily similar variation of what I’m grokking. I’ll click on Instagram, or open up my inbox, to discover: Hey, I’m not the only one going through this right now! It speaks to our...
Wrapping Up 2023
When I sat down to write a blog to you (about Pluto- will do that, later this month), I realised there's been so much to say about what I've been up to. So if you feel like reading one of those old-fashioned year end wrap up notes, the kind you get from your Auntie you haven't seen in a few decades or that old friend from your school days, grab a...
You Are Not That Person Anymore
Our mind constantly references old ways of being. Similar to how a history book searches back in time in order to make sense of what we experience today, we look for what happened the last time we did this thing… ...and it didn’t go well. We pull up our past Self. The one who was simply coping with what she didn’t yet understand. The one trying...
On Being A Published Author
Before I became a published author, with Llewellyn Press, I was rejected - many times. If you don’t know how difficult it is to be published by a mainstream press, please allow me to illuminate you: You probably think writing the book is the hard part. Nope. Writing the book proposal is much harder. A 75+ page document that required me to “sound...
Sacred Space + Boundaries + Virgo New Moon
Let's explore the sacred. Your body is sacred. Your time is sacred. Your space is sacred. What do we mean by sacred? Here are some definitions: Worthy of your respect. Entitled to reverence. Holy. Other synonyms for sacred: Expresses the totality of life, is the eternal reality, holds special purifying, healing, power. What are some especially...
